Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Dasolo.

Carl Chandler.
G'day, dickhead.
Trying some new.
Fuck, he's done it again.
Trying some new.
He's reinvented the wheel.
Yeah, I'll make a note of that.
That seemed to work pretty well.
Yep, yep.
Make that into old gold, I reckon.
We've got two very special guests joining us today.
Please welcome back into the Little Dumb Dumb Club,
Adam Rosenbachs and Tommy Little.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
It is so nice to be here, guys.
Thanks for coming along to your house.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you asked me about locations,
and you were like,
oh, we could do it at yours,
and I'm like, that's fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As long as I only have to come downstairs.
Yeah, yeah.
You're good like that. You're good like that. well to be fair you're a person with a lot of money that earns a lot of money in a good job and you're
very good at spending it on fucking dumb shit so like i'm happy to do most weeks here if that's
okay i just want to come in and see what you fucking bought next hang on is the offer to
have you guys in my house more yeah no thanks when you're saying you spend money on dumb shit
what like we'd be in here every week like on a retainer like little's just paying us to hang out in his
house as you say that i'm looking at um antlers a gumball machine i was gonna say the gumball
machine buck hunter buck hunter directly behind you yeah yeah a globe that is a um uh what is it
a bar a bar globe and then i've got a bottle collection from this guy, Crazy Dave,
who opens his house as a shop,
but he doesn't realise that that's a strange thing to do.
Right, right.
He's crazy.
He's crazy.
What?
I mean, I don't call him that to his face.
Right.
But yes, he thinks his house is a shop.
Yeah, okay.
And so he just opens the door and he sits shirtless on his bed.
Hang on, hang on.
How does this work?
How did you find out about him?
I walked past his house one day and the door was open
and he had a hand-drawn sign saying, shop, open.
I know.
It's that easy, folks.
Yeah, it is.
Who needs Gumtree?
Is this like a van with free chocolate written on the side of it?
Show me on the dolly where...
He has fucked me a lot.
When I say crazy, Dave, I mean crazy in bed, dude.
Well, it's a fuck shop.
You didn't read the whole sign.
Under the shop sign is another one that says
seven days since last bumming.
So I went in there and yeah, he was just sitting,
he just sits shirtless on his bed.
And I'm like, hey, homie.
And he's like, hey, man.
And I'm like, is stuff for sale. And he's like, hey, man. And I'm like, is stuff for sale?
How many other customers were in there?
He's shirtless and you say he's stuff for sale.
There's a lot of code going on in here.
I think I'm the only person that goes there.
But I buy so much stuff for him.
I usually go to his shop once a week.
Cash or F-Pos?
What are you buying?
See these bottles with all the handwritten...
So the gumball machine, that was for you.
But then see the bottles up there with handwritten signs on them?
So, like at the top, and their little toys.
It was the gumball machine.
It's got $185 written on it.
Is that what you paid for that?
He takes me to the cleaners.
Then he goes.
Hang on, is that per gumball?
I would spend $200 a week at Crazy Dave's.
But if you charge $2 per ball, there's probably, what, $60 in there?
You make two-thirds of that.
I can't charge $2 because the slot is for 20-cent coins.
Between that and the...
Also, very clearly, he's marked it up from $175 to $185.
He's made an extra $10.
Or a forensic policeman.
I leave all the signs
and stuff because I love
his writing and he'll write like, it's meant
to say milk bottle, but it'll be like
Mick Botti.
And I'm like, Dave, you got any of those sweet
Mick Botti's? But when
McGregor used to live here,
he would throw his stuff out. So I'd go
out and I'd go out And I'd
I'd buy these bottles
And then
The bodies
And then the next day
I'm like
McGregor
Where are my
Where are my bodies bro
And he would've
Chucked them in the bin
And I'm like
Man that was 200 bucks
For the McBodies
So then I'd have to
Go back to Dave's
But during lockdown
Obviously
I wasn't there
Retail closed down
Retail shut.
Yeah, no browsing.
He had to take the shop sign off and just have his house open.
He just had to do click and collect from his shirtless on the bed.
And they say it hurt big business bad.
Crazy days.
He's no Harvey Norman.
I went there for the first time after lockdown,
and he put his arms up in the air, and he goes,
where have you been?
And I'm like,
oh, sorry, man.
Like it's been lockdown.
And he just looked at me.
To be fair,
you bought his CV
so he didn't know about the pandemic.
And he just looked at me with his eyes like,
what is lockdown?
Like,
have you been to prison?
And I was like,
I'm just not going to pursue it.
But then when I went to leave,
he scribbled his number down
and he's like,
you know,
don't...
Landline mobile.
Don't mobile.
He's like,
don't leave it so long.
Yeah, yeah, right.
So you've got,
you got on tap now.
Oh, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So are you,
are you just buying things
out of his house?
The things that he has
in his house lying around,
you're going in and buying them?
No, he set it up like a shop.
So my dream is to recreate his room in my house.
So one by one, I'm...
But he's...
Always shirtless?
Almost always shirtless.
Good, good.
Consistency.
The last time I went there, there was a rake on the bed
and I had so many questions.
You don't rake your bed After you've slept in it
You better be quick in the shop
I've got a hot broad in bed
But
What was I saying
Oh yeah no
Sorry
He'd set up a shop
But so much of the stuff
Is not for sale
So he's got like
A whole wall of these tins
Right
And none of it's for sale.
What?
You can talk him around.
Yeah.
You can talk him around,
I reckon.
How do you call yourself a shop
if not everything's for sale?
I mean,
you just write it on a board
out the front
and hope that I walk past.
Right.
Where's he getting his stuff from?
Do you know?
No, I don't.
Is he one of these people
that buys it?
Right.
I think he would go to maybe, you know.
Like Trashy Treasure kind of things.
One of those people that's just combing those places.
You know what he does?
He just goes to the bins of your house
and finds the stuff that McGregor threw out
and then you're buying it again.
Imagine if he takes off a mask at the end of this
and it is McGregor.
I love the idea of recreating his house
because between the Buckhunter machine
and the Gumball machine,
you're not far off setting up your own time zone
in this house.
That would be good.
Get a Dance Dance Revolution machine in the corner
and you'll be away, I reckon.
Also, you'd know if he was McGregor
because he would have been a lot crazier
than he currently is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
McGregor calls him Sane Day.
But his shop is across the road,
like a block down from a swanky restaurant That I really like
And so I often go and eat there
And in between
Like entree or after a drink
I would then go over and see Dave
And the restaurant is so sick of me
Because I always bring back like a gumball
Why can't this happen after the meal?
Why has this got to be happening mid-surf?
I have a twin entree.
He's at his moe and then he wants to do it, so he wants a gumball.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't want to drink out of a glass.
I want to drink out of a mick botty.
I don't know where I can get one.
But once he came over the road, I'd left a bottle,
and he came over the road and I could see the staff
making this horrified look at the window.
And it's Dave, shirtless knocking on the
window because i'd left a milk body yeah and so i came out and grabbed it but the staff was just
like i didn't tell them what was going on i don't need to know but then it's like what's happened
why is a shirtless man chased you was the shirtless man trying to get it back for himself
or trying to say you forgot this?
No, I left it there.
Right.
You left your $200 milk body.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I only got two bodies of $200.
You heard the dessert bell.
You're like, I'd better get back to the restaurant.
My brulee's out.
The crock and bush is served.
Pack up that mick body.
So you're the reason why people
do pretend to be
from Nigeria
and pretend to be
the treasurer
so someone out
there going
yeah fuck it
why not
just chuck some
money at something
yeah
you're a person
with too much
money
if you're paying
that much for
mick bodies
I'm a prince
from shut up
and sell me
I don't care
yeah your house
look at the moment,
because we recorded an episode here a couple of years ago
and then you've had the place all kind of renovated and done since then.
Yeah, when McGregor was living here.
One summer we came around.
Yeah, we came around, we did an episode with you
and I think McGregor was sitting there.
Yeah, he went quiet.
Because afterwards he said to me, when you guys were there,
he said, who the fuck
was that
why did we have
Mike
the house now
looks like one of
those Graham
base books
you know like
Anna Maley
where it's like
these very
detailed illustrations
where it's like
how many
different little
things can you
find in this
picture
there's a
McBotty
there's a
fireplace
I've said on the
way in but I'm
very impressed by
you've got the
big bookcase and everything,
and then you've got an actual ladder, like in movies, in libraries,
where you get the ladder that slides along.
Yeah, you know what's so offensive about that?
So that was the one thing I really wanted,
because exactly that, seeing it in movies,
and I was like, my mate designed the place,
and he's like, what do you want?
And I was like, man, what can I have?
And he's like, what do you mean, mate?
It's yours. What would you like? It's your house. I was like, man, can I, what can I have? He's like, what do you mean, mate? Like, what would you like?
It's your house.
I was like,
what about a ladder
with a bookshelf?
And he's like,
yeah,
mate,
that's okay,
we can do that.
But now anyone that comes in,
if they haven't seen the post,
they look at it,
it's always the same.
They look at the bookshelf,
the library,
they look at me
and they look at the bookshelf
and they go,
huh,
I didn't know you read.
Yeah,
yeah.
It's so fucking weird. I did think it was a bit obvious.
I did hold it back, yeah.
Pardon me, I don't know who you judged for being able to reach
my very high up Zoo Weekly magazines that I'm storing up there.
Thank you.
My first thought was, I don't think you're reaching for books
on the bottom level, let alone up the top level.
Top shelf
Milk botties up there
Yeah
That's where you should
Keep your pornos
That's literally
Recreated in your age
Top shelf stuff
Yeah
Isn't it so nice
When Chando just
Shows his age
Yeah
So that's where you should
Keep your pornos
Like they're physical
Items
Stop putting them
Under your fucking mattress
Bring them out mate
You live by yourself
Or Weida
Under your dad's mattress
Why do you do that?
You want them to be easily accessible
So yeah
The last time we spoke to you
On the show
You were waiting for this place to be finished
You were living in an old church
Yes
When they filmed a porno
That's where they filmed a porno
I think they were frequently trying to film pornos
You told me
They were like
People would always book it on Airbnb
Man did I tell you I don't know if it happened then did i tell you about so my housemate johnny
when we're in that place the church was so scary um and because it had it wasn't homely it's like
it was a church and and because there was a music studio downstairs we didn't realize for ages but
there was these whirring noise and stuff coming through and it was really muffled musos
playing late into the night but we had no idea and so it sounded just like yeah right but it's
baffled sound yeah and one night there was a storm there and because of all the skylights when
lightning hit it lit up the whole joint and it was terrifying and i went went to bed and then um
is this a story about you and Johnny swapping bodies?
I came out, I, I heard this, um, I heard this like, and I'm like, oh my God, what's that?
I get out of bed.
I opened the door into that main living room.
It's just pitch black, but there's the voice is coming from in the middle of the blackness and it's gone.
And I just yell, I go, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
And then the voice stops. Johnny opens the door, hits on a light and he goes, oh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, and then the voice stops,
Johnny opens the door,
hits on a light,
and he goes,
oh,
what,
oh,
oh,
so sorry,
so sorry,
so sorry,
I didn't know,
my Bluetooth was hooked up,
and the speaker was in the middle of the room,
and he'd put a porno on,
and so,
so the porn was coming from the Bluetooth speaker,
and it was a guy,
he's like,
and Johnny's like,
oh,
sorry, and just in his jocks with, and Johnny's like, oh, sorry.
And just in his jocks
with a half monk.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
Just the way you were doing that noise,
I was like,
is this a story of you being haunted
by Tim the Toolman Taylor?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah,
so you've,
yeah,
you moved in here
at the start of this year.
We're talking about this on the pod
last week.
I've just moved house
into a new place,
living with my girlfriend now.
You've come to the good side.
Come over to Fitzroy.
It's great.
It's already really had a devastating effect
on the arrival times of Carl Chandler to the podcast.
It's fucking not helping me.
I used to walk or run to your place,
and I'm like, fuck this.
I've got to do a fucking podcast.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a podcast.
You can start whenever.
Yeah, I know,
I know,
but it's a...
But the motherfucker was late.
Yeah.
It was so convenient.
There was a tram
that went directly
from his house to my house
that took 10 minutes.
I could walk there.
It was about 3K.
It was fucking beautiful.
Because walking,
it takes the same amount of time
every time.
Yeah, you don't get held up
by foot traffic. Yeah. Yeah, yeah don't get held up by foot traffic.
Yeah.
Sorry, guys.
The pavement was packed today, guys.
It was literally bum to bum out there.
There was a three-man pile-up on the footpath of Woods Road.
You know what it's like when everyone's walking out of work at the same time?
People just on the footpath all at once.
Yeah, I shouldn't have booked it for 5pm at your place on a Friday.
Too many people on the footpath.
And there's so much food you can get on the way there and whatever.
It's like now fucking so much traffic.
It's bullshit.
Yeah, you should just leave your car.
You should park your car at my old building.
So you get that walk to my old house and then you just drive from there.
But bro, you're 15 minutes away.
From where?
Here.
No, that was not 15. Man, that took me fucking nearly 45 minutes just then saturday afternoon traffic is fucked at
the moment though because everyone's back playing sport the little fuckhead yeah all the parents
are out yeah fuck them yeah that's why i didn't want to say i was at school well i'm not out off
peak yeah yeah exactly you don't ruin people's weekends. Yeah.
That's why I didn't want to play school sports when I was at school.
I was like, mum and dad, I'm just thinking of the other adults that need to get around.
That's why I don't want to go and play tennis on a Saturday morning.
Well, that's it.
Well, I'll bring this up as a slight update.
So the last couple of weeks we've been talking about this.
I've been hassled by a mate of mine that I played soccer with 20 years ago.
Every time I talk to him on Facebook, he'll pop up and he'll be like, oh, come back and play, come back and play. I don't believe this. this i've been hassled by a mate of mine that i played soccer with 20 years ago every time i
talked to him on facebook he'll pop up and he'd be like oh come back and play come back and play
i don't believe this well that's exactly what happened so like also when are you when are you
off facebook well i'm doing business but i know nothing like i couldn't even name who has ever
been in the comedians soccer team but i know one thing about that yes and that's that you're the
worst no that's not that you're the worst
no that's not true
no no not the worst
of playing
apparently you yell
at everyone
and you make
what is meant to be
a fun game
horrible
or sorting the weed
out from the chaff
as I call it
and you steal
in a friendly
so maybe it's taken
this dude 20 years
to forget how
awful that was
well maybe
but I think I think comedy's changed me.
I don't think I was like that back then as much.
Mate, he's in the team of the century.
That's it.
Can you believe that?
What do you mean?
I'm in the team of the century.
So, Dalesford Soccer Club.
How long have they been around for, by the way?
10 years?
25 years.
I haven't played for 20 years.
Did you bring up the team of the century?
Like, I think we should have a team of the century.
No, no, no
I didn't
I don't know who did
but yeah
it's a ridiculous idea
but anyway
We've gone pretty well
There wasn't many
to choose between
they've won one
premiership ever
I was in it
It's pretty tough
to leave me out
Boys, this one's
feeling good
I'm calling it
This is the podcast
of the century
Let's put that
on the record
So every time
he pops up and he's like,
oh, you should come and play and whatever.
And then a couple of weeks ago, I was like, you know what?
I've been getting fitter and fitter during lockdown
and all that sort of stuff.
I'm like, you know what?
Fuck it, I'll go and play.
And then I went back to him
and it very much turned into that thing of going,
you know when people say, we should catch up one time.
You go, okay.
And then they go, I was just saying that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hate that when they go, when?
Yeah.
And you're like, never, literally did that last night saying goodbye i had a beer with a mate from school last night
and it was it was that it was like me actually taking him up on the like passing each other in
the street being like yeah we should i was like you know what fuck it now i moved house i'm living
a bit closer to him i'm doing it and i hit him up I'm like let's get a beer and then like we meet up
and he's immediately like
so why'd you contact me
like I think he thought
I was going to tell him
I was fucking dying
or something like that
this hurts
so we're not catching up
for a beer tonight
no
no
yeah
no
I mean there's exceptions
to every rule
yes
I'll be back
I had to do the other day
a waiter
at a restaurant,
and he was wearing a mask, and he came over and he goes,
Tommy, like this.
And I was like, oh, damn.
It was a guy I haven't seen in ages, right?
And you knew who it was.
I knew who it was.
Yeah, and he gets up and he goes, man, I didn't think you'd remember me.
And I'm like, are you joking, Bo?
And he came around and he goes, what are we doing?
And he holds out that elbow fist. And I went, no, are you kidding think you'd remember me. And I'm like, are you joking, bro? And he came around and he goes, what are we doing? And held out that like elbow fist.
And I went, no, are you kidding?
And I gave him a huge hug.
Then he takes his mask off and I'm like, I've never seen you before.
And he goes, yeah, all the other waiters were teasing me because they were saying to me that you won't remember who I am.
And look at us.
And I'm like, yeah.
Look at us doing our thing yeah so you had familiar eyes you're looking at the eyes and you're going i know this man for sure i thought it was an old mate right and then he put the mouth
and then he took and he said we worked together you thought it was an old mate who is now a waiter
that you didn't know that he'd gone into waiting a dude that i hadn't seen in years right yeah
yeah um but he mentioned a job that we did together in the past.
I don't even remember doing the job.
Okay.
I was like, this must have been the most fleeting of...
Right, right.
But he was like, man, I thought I was desperate holding on to these memories
and then you've just hugged me like a psychopath.
Tommy's keener than I am, guys.
You've actually gone deeper.
He just wanted to fist bump you.
That's it.
You can't do the hug and then go, sorry, what was your name?
As I wipe your DNA off my dick, mouth and arsehole.
In the middle of a pandemic, as I take my tongue out of your arsehole,
sorry, and you are?
Sorry, I've got you pubing my teeth.
What was your name again, good man?
Don't be hugging the weight stuff.
I don't want to go there.
What happens if you hug the weight stuff?
Well, they need to be put down.
I was going to say that.
I was going to say something about giving them a tip.
I pulled out.
So, sorry.
So, I said to him,
all of a sudden it went pretty cold,
but I'd come on here
and talked about this
and everyone had gone,
no,
you've got to do it
sort of thing.
So I've gone back
and gone,
yeah,
I mean,
I mean,
I mean,
and then he's just left me
on read for fucking ages.
He's also got,
as I talked about last week,
he spleened me.
He comedy-ed spleened me.
I said yes
and then instead of him going,
of course,
he's gone,
come up and show your face
and sign up
and say hello to a few people.
It's fucking Dalesford, though.
And I'm trying not to go, I'm in the fucking team of the century.
And he's like, no, no, you can't.
All right, I'll come up.
I'll come up.
So I come up, said hello, whatever.
They'll give you five to seven.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, off the bench.
Yeah, yeah.
So I came back.
And then I've gone, hey, loved watching the match.
Great.
I can't.
You know, how do you do it up there?
I get so nervous. Where do you get your ideas. I can't, you know, how do you do it up there? I get so nervous.
Where do you get your ideas from on the field, you know?
How do you remember it all?
Nick Capper said he'd vouch for me as a good soccer player.
Yeah.
All those vibes.
It was so, and then I've put that, and I've gone back and forth.
Why don't you have any women in the team?
It's Daylesford.
They are the women.
So I've come back and I've gone
oh yeah yeah

i'm like well fucking because they play each other they're going to play each other in a
couple of weeks and i was like this would be good revenge i'm going to play for marabara
how easy is it to just slot into a team they obviously clearly have their side
at the moment
so why would you
expect to be able
to walk in
well put it this way
because I'm thinking
of my memories
from 20 years ago
when I last played
and I remember
what the reserves
used to be like
and they were
fucking terrible
like they were
verging on
some people
that were unable
to fucking talk
let alone play soccer
you know what I love
about this
that you said
it would be a great
revenge if you turn up playing on the other team I think you're misunderstanding revenge yeah I can talk You know what I love about this That you said it would be A great revenge
If you turn up
Playing on the other team
I think you're
Misunderstanding revenge
Yeah
Revenge for who?
That would be if their
Star player turned up
But when they go
You know that guy
That couldn't get a game
And most people go
No
Well he's playing
On the other team
Oh
He's in the team of the century
Do we have a team of the century?
Yeah
God I feel revenged against
But that's what you need
In sports motivation
like if it's revenge
then I might be able
to play well
so you have a picture
of the
Dalesford soccer team
on your mirror
yes
every day
exactly
very quickly
I went from
I want to be in that team
to I want to kill that team
great
and so I'm thinking
maybe I can get in
because from
you know
from 20 years ago
I remember the reserves
used to be
like this
you know
not a great team
and surely I can still get in that team and then I looked at who's playing so eventually From 20 years ago, I remember the reserves used to be like this, not a great team.
And surely I can still get in that team.
And then I looked at who's playing.
So eventually my mate has gone, he's come back to me and said,
okay, after two days or something, he's obviously gone into the hub and pleaded my case to all the rest of them.
And they go, yeah, you can be on the bench in the reserves
and maybe you get on, maybe you don't or whatever.
So look at the fixtures.
So it's next Sunday.
They're playing at home against a team called North United.
And I was like, great, because my memories of North United,
20 years ago, the team that they used to play was this rabble,
including a man with one arm.
He's not going to handball.
He wasn't the goalkeeper.
I'll clear that up.
That's so unnecessary to point out.
No.
Including a man that had bushy eyebrows.
No, no.
I don't think that that's the same level.
You can play soccer with one arm.
You can't.
You don't have the balance.
What do you mean?
People with one arm don't walk around falling over.
He doesn't veer off to the right.
How many?
If you run around this kitchen right now,
wherever we are,
with one arm...
This is...
You know what?
No, but he grew up with it.
It wasn't lopped off yesterday.
Put it this way.
Also, it's not behind his back.
No.
You're saying...
You need balance.
You need two arms.
You need...
How many planes do you see with one wing fly up?
He's not a plane.
He's not a plane. He's not a plane.
He's not taking off into the atmosphere.
He's taking off onto the soccer pitch.
Also, you see seagulls with one leg all the time.
That's one leg, not one wing.
Yes, but he's running.
A wing is an arm.
Hang on.
Hang on.
A wing is not an arm.
It's what it is.
Okay, fly then.
Come on. Put wing is not an arm. It's what it is. Okay, fly then. Come on.
Put it this way.
I have strong memories of this guy because I used to,
and this shows that it's necessary because in soccer,
hang on, if he's playing, then he could obviously stand.
He wasn't falling.
He's standing up now.
We're getting a full act out.
But I used to deliberately do this.
If I played against him, I would deliberately do this,
where, you know, in soccer you're trying to send people the wrong way and stuff.
I'd put all my weight on one side of the body
and make him think I'm going on one way,
and then quickly go back the other, and he would fall over.
He would literally topple over.
I don't think it's an arm thing.
It is an arm thing!
You know what really shit him?
Do you have vertigo?
No.
What shits me about the argument we just had when you said,
even though I was disagreeing with you,
when you said wings are arms, in my head I went, wings are arms.
Yes.
That was in the examples we were going through.
But where do you think you draw the line on that?
So if someone loses one finger, do you reckon they're a little off balance?
No.
Oh, why not?
What about a hand?
You asked me where I draw the line.
That's where I'm drawing the line.
Hand.
Handless.
In a goalkeeper, yes.
Of course.
No, but still, that would affect the balance.
By your logic, there's a little less weight on that side now
because the hand's the one.
Yeah, but by the logic, I mean, like,
it's not the same thing to have, like,
one coin in your pocket as you play.
But if you have fucking one million coins in your pocket,
that's going to make a difference.
You understand that things can balance without being symmetrical, right?
But this cunt could not.
I'm telling you, I've seen him.
Well, this is all to say that you...
Also, his boots are unlaced for the whole game.
This is all to say that this guy...
This guy will end up being your teammate in a few weeks
when Mary Burrow rejects you as well.
That was 20 years ago.
He'll have grown it back.
He's not a lizard.
I'll make that clear.
There's no way you've never seen,
like even in a straight line,
how many one-armed sprinters?
Bro, what do you mean?
Paralympics.
There's a whole Olympics.
Yeah, but they don't race against people with two arms.
But they also make it to the end of the 100-metre straight.
So you're saying that's fine, that's no disadvantage.
I'm saying you're balancing it.
I want to play in the Paralympics then.
If we're all the same...
Bro, you'd qualify.
No!
Play them this episode and you'll qualify.
I love this image of you,
the story you told about coming at him on the field
and him falling over.
And tricking him out.
Yeah, in his head going like,
oh no, he's using both of his arms, I'm fucked.
He broke my ankles.
Is that a yellow card offence
if I deliberately trip him over like that
by using my body weight Like that to trick him
I think so
So you
So you're saying
Like say you had a counterweight
On that side
Then he might be
Yes
So some sort of ballast
He should have
Some sort of mannequin arm
Or something
Or like a kettlebell
Yes
Strapped to his body
Yes
It's unfair
Look I knew I was being
A cunt at the time
But it was also
A very funny thing
Don't say at the time.
Yeah.
I was like, it's far worse now.
You had 20 years to stew on this.
Is there perhaps a Daylesford special side that you could join
and just fucking mop the floor with the opposition?
Well, again, 20 years ago, I think it was pretty close.
Yeah.
But I've gone to watch them now,
and now they're actually pretty good.
So now I'm actually a little bit like, fuck, I came home and did a bit of extra training.
I'm like, I've got to fucking...
I could very much embarrass myself.
Does that mean you came home and did some training?
No, no.
Well, yes, yes.
Pop a limb off just so you've got an excuse.
I bet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe that guy was just so good, he was like, I could beat you with one hand tied behind
my back.
Oh, whoops, no, I couldn't.
I love the idea of you looking at someone with two arms and going,
there's no way to get them off balance.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm like, whoop, I've met my match here.
Guys, don't even try faking them out.
It's impossible.
Someone get a chainsaw.
No, no, we've got to win.
We've got to win.
Yeah.
So I'm I'm
Just waking up from a horrible accident
Doc give it to me straight
Can I play soccer
Is my balance gonna be okay
Can I
Can I
Can I run
How will I run
Yeah they tell you
You'll never run again
You're like
But I've got two legs
You go mate
You've fucking lost an arm
Like are you an idiot
You don't understand running
Yeah
These are all making sense to me, these things you're saying.
It's like we say in the Hippocratic Oath, an arm is a wing, okay?
Yeah, yeah, you can run, you can't fly, unfortunately, now that you've only got one arm.
You know what I've just realised?
Just before we started recording, you went, hang on, I've got to get my phone out to look at my notes.
I've made some notes.
Was one of the notes to talk about this?
One arm equals no balance. All Alright, I'm good to go
boys. Let's hit the recorder.
Theory of physics.
No, that's not even a note.
Keep the rest of your powder dry, mate.
I can get to my notes if we run out of time.
Well, I've got something that
I'm curious, because I reckon
one of you will have tried what I did for the first time.
Right.
If it's sex, you're wrong.
Talk for yourself, mate.
I was just picturing a one-armed person kept falling off someone when they're having sex.
I did a flotation tank for the first time. I've always wanted to, but I haven't.
Right.
Rosie?
No, I haven't.
No, I've looked into it, but I've never done it.
The old deprivation
Yeah I thought it would be
In your wheelhouse
Yes
I like the idea of it
But I just have never
Got round to it
Well here's a little
I've floated
Do you know
Are you floated
I've gotten tanked
Bro
That's it
Talk to me
Did you love it
I
By the end I was enjoying it
It kind of feels like
Your first one is a bit
Of a write off
Because you just
So much of it is like
Getting used to
Like the whole feeling of it.
And by the end, I was like, all right, I'm settled into this.
If you get in there with one arm, are you just fucking rolling around?
I'm drowning.
No, I'm not.
Real boring.
How long are you in there for?
You're not a person I would have thought to do this,
given that I know your history of you going overseas to go to a meditation resort,
you walking in one hour later going,
is there any strippers in this joint or what?
See ya.
You literally ran away from a meditation camp, didn't you?
I ran away in the middle of the night because I was going insane
and I didn't think they'd let me leave.
And they're like, see you, Mr. Little.
Did the old one-armed man in the door, curved around right back out of it.
No, I just went real romance, like rom-com on them,
and I was like, you're not even going to put up a fight.
You're just going to watch me walk out of here.
It's a meditation camp, not a meditation concentration camp.
Yeah, yes, yes.
Meditation will set you free.
Gas seeping in the showers
But it's like lavender scented
That's great
That's the reason
I was wondering where you were
Fucking going with that
That's the reason I did it
To try and get better at
Being still
And you know
Doing that stuff
And I
They gave me a warning
They said when you
Go and he said
If you've got any
Here's some Vaseline
If you've got any open cuts
Jesus Just you know Put it on that And I some Vaseline. If you've got any open cuts, just put it on that.
And I was thinking, of course I don't have any open cuts.
It should be a deal breaker.
You're not allowed in the tapio.
Also, if you're going to go in there and not say anything
and just sit by yourself in a room and then they give you a Vaseline,
I would have thought that's for a different reason.
Yeah, maybe that's what he said.
He didn't say open cuts.
He said it's for you butt sluts.
I was like, yeah, I didn't have any open cuts.
What happened?
He said, oh, because there's 750 kilos of salt in the tank,
so it'll just sting like buggery.
So anyway, if you don't, that's fine.
And I was like, yeah, sure.
And then he left, and you have a shower.
She's in the room.
And it's all very calming music, soft lighting and stuff.
And I'm thinking, isn't this lovely?
And then I lower myself down into the tank.
And even though I did not have any open cuts, I had just shaved my balls.
And the scream pain.
He would have just heard from one of the rooms over this soft
music.
He just would have heard
the lead on me.
So I was like,
great.
I do love that idea. I can't be at one with
myself with hairy balls. I better
shave these first before.
And the alternative would have been him walking
back in on me dunking my nuts into a tub of Vaseline.
Smothering the minute.
So yeah, you're in there for the full hour just with the balls just in agony.
Yeah.
Did they settle?
Yes.
It was a minute of real pain.
Yep, yep, yep.
A minute of subtle pain and then we're good and then how long before you
like switch off and do you get into that like you know um meditative state where you feel like you're
you know dropping well i hit that i kept falling asleep yeah yeah yeah i'd just like wake up and
be like twitch yeah because i did hypnotherapy and that's kind of the the levels that they take
you down to so it's sort of like that. On the edge is the consciousness.
Yeah, yeah.
So you'd be talking and it sounds like you're miles away,
but I'm still with it.
I've talked about this years ago on the podcast,
but I used to live in a place in Ballarat in a share house
and then I moved out, but I moved out directly.
What did you move out for?
Well, I moved out.
It was a terrible house and it was haunted.
It was weird.
No, that's a Bluetooth on.
Yeah, yeah. a terrible house and it was haunted it was weird now that's that's a bluetooth on yeah yeah
so I moved directly
I moved directly
over the road
but someone
in my house then
still knew the people
that moved into that house
oh yeah
and
they were fucking weird people
and they moved in
and they built their own
um
fucking
what's it called
deprivation tank
yes
really
but
surely you mean they just bought one.
No.
They made their own.
That's nuts.
Yeah, so it wasn't like vertical.
It was horizontal.
What they got was...
Hang on.
They, yeah, I hope I'm right in saying this.
No, you lie down in them.
Yes.
Horizontal.
This, you didn't.
What they got was two wheelie bins.
They took out, they hollowed them out
and put them on top of each other.
You mean they hollowed them out?
Well, they got the top off one and the bottom off the other.
Hey, when are those bin holler-outers coming this week?
Is it Tuesday?
When are the excavators coming into the rubbish?
So they put them on top of each other and then filled them with water
and then made their own some sort of harness.
So, like, the place was on a second story.
Yeah.
And then they would just harness themselves down into two bins full of fucking bin juice.
And salt.
And then play.
And they were like fucking metalheads or something.
And then they would just blast fucking loud music into the two bins.
So, were they doing...
Did they have ice or something in there i don't
sorry i'm literally like yeah no no either way i'm not sure yeah is it was it like a therapy
because the idea of the float is you float yes i know but sorry i know you get that yeah
you fucking dumb cunt i wasn't looking at the setup going fucking tickety-boo to me this seems
perfect so did you go over and see it?
Like did you see him doing it?
Or is this all from afar?
I saw two bins
Yeah
And then I was like
What the fuck is going on there?
And they were like
Oh dude
That's obviously their probation tank
They also had
They also had half a police car there
Very fucking weird
There's a snow town written all over it
Yeah you know
Totally
Totally
It was fucking weird
Also the timing of this is great
Just them being like
God I'm pretty stressed
After that guy moving out
Let's build a floatation tank
To take the edge off
Half
Yeah the front half
Of a cop car was there
I don't know why
Cut in half
Yes
That's amazing
Yeah
You wouldn't steal a whole one
Hang on
Is this giving you ideas
We're looking around the room
Is this the thing
You're missing from your house
This is Crazy Dave's Isn't it This is an origin story Of Crazy Dave Hang on, is this giving you ideas? We're looking around the room. Is this the thing you're missing from your house?
This is Crazy Dave's, isn't it?
This is an origin story of Crazy Dave.
That half a cop car would be terrible at soccer.
I'll give you that.
Terrible on the field.
Terrible at driving you to the game.
So there you go.
I did a picture of organised crime bosses busting out their mate from the back of a cop car
and stealing the wrong half.
Yeah.
Now we've got two cops. organised crime bosses busting out their mate from the back of a cop car and stealing the wrong heart. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, now we've got two cops.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah. So I don't know.
I couldn't vouch for it.
I never got a go at it.
I was never brave enough.
You didn't go ask for
can I have a hoon on your bin?
No, no, no.
Give us a dunk.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, in hindsight,
I wish I had,
but at the time,
I was quite rightly going,
these guys are fucking insane.
How did they get up to get in?
Because it was on the,
there was a stairway. Oh, so they'd lower themselves down.
From the second story.
Yeah, from the second story.
And so you'd need your mate to pull you out.
Yes.
Or you'd have to like rock it and tip it.
Yes.
Fucking hell, that's a lot of fucking, that's a lot of confidence in that fucking fellow stoner.
And also like below was like, there was like a fully, you know, working cafe.
So like these people were doing this stuff.
And like someone's coming out to fucking, coming out to chuck the old sandwiches out.
And these fucking hippies are just headfirst into these fucking two bins.
Getting real relaxed.
Well, you're a pretty stressed guy.
It must be good to know that you can just build your own flotation tank.
You don't need to fuck around with going to the place that Tommy went to.
Oh, you don't want my secondhand ball juice anyway.
I want secondhand bin juice instead of 20 years ago. So will you go back? Yes. Okay, you don't want my secondhand ball juice anyway. No, I want secondhand bin juice instead of 20 years ago.
So will you go back?
Yes.
Okay, you enjoyed it?
No, I found it hard.
I found it hard too, but it's the point.
You want to get over that.
I was going like, you know what would be perfect?
Get the Nintendo Switch rigged up in the ceiling of this thing.
It'll be fucking good to see.
Yeah, and then actually get the Switch.
Instead of putting it in here, put it just out of here
and then I can sit out of here and have a couch.
Maybe a few beers.
Mate, can we get some of the salt out of this water?
Because I'm trying to drown myself in here.
I keep floating up.
Maybe get some of that happening.
Could you take edibles, or would that just fuck you up if you were a bit like...
If it went wrong, I think it would be...
But you can just get out whenever you want.
You're not locked in there.
Yeah.
Wait, you weren't?
You're like an idiot.
That guy's sitting on the lid.
I thought this was the world's worst escape room.
What's it like just floating there?
Sorry.
So you can't sink.
Yeah, okay.
Because of the salt.
Yeah.
Which meant that I could nod off and it was fine. You can nod off while you're floating. Oh, I was nodding off the whole time. Yeah, okay. Because of the salt. Yeah. Right. Which meant that I could nod off and it was fine.
You can nod off while you're floating.
Oh, I was nodding off the whole time.
Yeah.
You've done that?
You sort of meant to, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I got close and I felt like I shouldn't, but...
Right.
This is like the Dead Sea or whatever.
Is it the sea?
Dead Sea, yeah.
You can't drown in the Dead Sea or you've got to be fucking pretty fat.
Yeah, you've got to be swimming down.
Yeah, yeah.
You've got to be pretty fat. You've got to be swimming down yeah yeah you've got to be pretty fat
imagine that
being your dying thought
oh I'm fat enough
that I've drowned
I've clocked the Dead Sea
they said this was impossible
except for those
morbidly obese enough
I ate so many chips
I've busted physics
fuck
this is ultra suicide
I've really done
an impressive one here
so yeah to go back to the yeah moving house of busted physics. Fuck. This is ultra suicide. I've really done an impressive one here.
So yeah,
to go back to the moving house,
did it a week ago,
had the movers turn up
at the masturbatorium.
Man with a van?
Man with a van,
yep.
Give them a sweet plug,
why not?
They came through.
Did you have them
get you into this place?
Oh,
I don't know.
Someone,
but it wasn't man with a van.
I don't know if you had the same experience,
but I had,
what I have to assume
is the,
forgetting two guys,
the very common setup
of the moving man,
where one of them,
Good moving van,
bad moving van?
Little bit.
Yeah,
slightly.
Nah,
don't move it.
I reckon that looks good
where it is.
Don't listen to me mate I need to help you
It says kitchen
But I'm putting that
In the fucking bedroom
Don't worry
He's just angry
But he actually moves stuff
Really well
Yeah
I can't control him
When he's like this
I saw him throw a bed
Off the freeway once
I mean I'd do what he said
If I was you
But we're mates
We get each other
When do you keep your phone books
Why are you asking?
Yeah, so like the two guys, and I assume this is pretty standard.
First guy, pretty young, very affable, very chatty, very friendly guy.
Like he comes in, he sees my guitar.
He's like, oh, wow, that's a great Stratocaster.
And then he's like, oh, my dad was in bands growing up,
so he taught me about musical equipment and stuff.
Shut the fuck up, mate.
Just pick the strat up, mate.
Take it to the fucking truck.
Move this conversation, bro.
He's not a man with a combo.
Oh, he taught you respect for the instrument, did he?
Okay, well, there better be no fucking scratches on this
when it turns up at the new address.
But so him, you know, he's the front-facing guy.
He's talking me through
The whole operation
And then his mate
The other guy
What's he talking you through
We're going to pick this shit up
We're going to put it in there
We're going to move it
He goes to the truck
Yeah
Then the truck goes to the next location
Slow down
Slow down
Sorry too much technical speak
A truck is the
Big brick on wheelie things out there
Hang on why are you saying truck
I hired a man with a van.
I want a van.
What's this truck bullshit?
I'm not paying for this.
A van is going to take 20 times as long.
I said I want it.
And there's two of you.
I hired a man with a van, not a man with a van.
I hired a man with a van.
I thought I was getting a pedophile here.
All of a sudden you're trying to pick up all my fucking worldly possessions.
Man with an ice cream van. Getting your stuff moved in by guaranteed pedoph here. All of a sudden you're trying to pick up all my fucking worldly possessions. Men with an ice cream van
getting your stuff
moved in by
guaranteed pedophiles.
And we certify them.
We do background checks.
We make sure that
they've got a criminal record.
We show them
an adult in the nude
that if they don't
get a hard on,
you're in.
All the reviews
are just like,
well,
people say it's right.
They are very affable.
So him,
then his mate, he's up the back, he's coming in.
Now, I don't want to speculate about what was going on with this guy.
Shit.
But let's just say he seemed to be able to stand in the apartment
and then immediately visualize where everything was going to sit in the van.
Yeah, right.
Awesome.
You get what I'm getting at?
That's what you want.
Perfect.
Sort of get what I'm getting at?
A pro.
Kind of looks, standing in the room, like eyes half closed.
He's like, now, if you have some pillows, that's going to help me a lot because I think
I'm going to be able to get the wardrobe in here and then have the two seats sitting on
top of it like that.
You know.
A rain moving man.
Yeah, yeah.
Did you and Chando have a meeting before the pod and just think, hey, who can we have a crack at?
Who's left?
I've got a one-armed bloke from 20 years ago.
I've got an autistic guy.
Not how to go at you.
Your words, not mine.
Hey, it's difficult.
When it's me and Tommy, it's pretty hard to punch down,
but we manage it.
That was like you were going through your phone.
Who else?
Who below us?
I saw her going
in a wheelchair before
and he's fucking...
And I reckon we're
at least even with him.
Maybe, yeah.
It really is like
drowning in the Dead Sea.
We found a way
to do it.
To punch down.
So, yeah,
this other guy,
this guy who,
you know,
had the real aptitude
for details.
What's to say there?
We get it, bro. He's got a bit of the real aptitude for details. What's to say there? We get it, bro.
He's got a bit of a real aptitude for details.
He's a real keen eye.
A real keen eye.
I would love you to write the synopsis for Rain Man and do that.
Tom Cruise hangs out with his brother who has a real aptitude for details.
PG.
What does aptitude mean?
Oh, you're apt.
You're adept at something.
You're good at something.
He's good at it.
You know, he's got a real flair for it.
A real... Comes naturally to him.
Yeah.
An incredibly keen eye.
Yes.
Possibly one of the keenest eyes you can have.
Good.
Perfect.
Great.
Yeah.
For sure.
Not knocking it.
Great. Good for him. He's in, for sure. Not knocking it. Great, good for you.
You are not.
It's in the right business.
I'm not knocking it yet.
You're just noticing it.
You've got a good keen eye for this sort of disability.
Yes.
That's my one of that.
Yes, yes.
So he like midway through.
My one of that.
Midway through picking up and moving stuff out of my house,
he turns to me and he goes, bro, do you like Nickelback?
Great.
And I'm like, what's – I just go, mate,
I don't know what the right answer is here.
Is that what you said?
Yeah.
I was like, well, I don't know what answer you want.
What?
What?
I couldn't tell.
Is that a testing question, do you think?
I was like, is this guy really into Nickelback?
Or if you say yes, all your stuff's getting smashed. Yeah, yeah., do you think? I was like, is this guy really into Nickelback? Or if you say yes, all your stuff's getting smashed.
Yeah, yeah.
What would you think if you asked someone,
if it's not Nickelback, if it's any band,
hey, do you like the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
And they said, I don't know what answer you want.
And you're having a crack at old mate risk.
He's packing the boxes just like,
geez, this dude's a bit weird.
Can't answer a simple question.
Tommy's not paying for the box packing part.
You packed the boxes yourself, didn't you?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Packed the boxes myself.
Oh, is that an extra fee?
What the fuck on earth it is?
Oh, I don't know.
I've never used it.
Is that a thing you can do?
Get them to do the boxes and shit as well?
It's not cheap.
That's the thing about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That seems like...
Old mate over here.
He hasn't fucking packed a box in his life.
No, no, no, no.
Why would you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why would you?
What's the bottom wiping fee when they're in here as well?
It's all part of the service.
Wiping, tonguing, please.
I can't have any open wounds for my next float.
No wastage, too.
I'm environmental.
Nothing porous, please.
You know I've got a dainty daint.
So, yeah, he asked me that and then I go, I don't know what answer you want.
What would your answer have been?
No.
Well, yeah.
I don't know what answer.
But if you're asking that, it's like...
It's come out of nowhere.
Yeah, it's like he's going to go,
they're actually not as bad as people think.
He's not in front of a stereo at the time.
He's not like going, well, I'll put it on then.
He was actually holding the stereo.
Oh, right, right, right.
But it's not like you have a Creed poster up at home.
No, no.
He was holding your Nickelback collection.
And you're like, I don't know what answer to give.
And Tommy's like, I don't know why I'm going to give. And Tommy's like,
I don't know why you're asking me this question.
Dressed as Chad Kroger.
I was like,
I don't know, man.
Yeah.
How you remind me,
I guess it's still a pretty good song.
And he's like,
yeah,
it is a pretty good song.
And then he just gets back on
with the task at hand.
And that's it.
And I was like,
all right,
nothing got broken.
That was the end of the Nickelback chum bar. That was the end of the Nickelback combo.
That was the end of the Nickelback chat.
You've got to get better at conversing.
Yeah.
Just like when someone says, you know, it's a nice day,
just go, yeah.
That isn't really a nice day.
If you said that today, it's sort of not really.
I'm going to get the answer wrong.
But maybe you like the weather like this.
I don't want to offend you.
Sorry, I've just got one question out of all this.
Do you like Nickelback?
Yeah.
No.
See, that was easy.
So do you reckon they're in the truck going, that guy was really good with detail about...
Yeah.
He was really good at playing computer games.
Despite knowing the song title.
But maybe the bloke's holding all of Tommy's fine china,
saying, do you like Nickelback?
If Tommy says no, he just fucking drops the lot of it.
You do like your china.
I do love my china, yeah.
Maybe it went the other way.
Maybe they got in the car and they were like, oh my God, that's the simplest question.
Everybody says no.
This guy couldn't even bring himself to say no.
Right.
Maybe he's dropping off.
You got a vinyl collection?
Yep.
Do you like Nickelback?
Moves everything in, all of a sudden he's given you a few Nickelback.
House warming gift. Gets me a Nickelback? Moves everything in, all of a sudden he's given you a few Nickelback. House warming gift.
Gets me a Nickelback record on the way to the new address.
Could have done a sweet zing when you said, no, no, I prefer penny front.
Oh, that's good.
And then you guys crack a beer and just enjoy the day together.
I think he would have looked at me and gone, what?
Yeah.
Here's a news champ.
Yeah, it feels like bringing that up, you're bringing it up because you're,
it's like most people accept that, you know,
you never meet anyone who loves Nickelback,
even though they are incredibly popular.
So it's like, why are you bringing that up?
You're probably bringing it up because you're actually a big fan
and you're waiting to convince me.
It's the little kid thing of saying something that they want to be asked back.
Right.
Like, you know, do you have a new jumper?
No.
Do you?
Yeah.
I can see it's got the tags on it.
I'm not even wearing a jumper.
And look, I don't like them,
but I don't care about it enough to sit
and have a 20-minute conversation about it with this guy.
It's a pretty old hat topic for 2021 to be like,
yeah, man, fuck Nickelback.
They suck.
So would it have been a better answer to say, who's Nickelback?
Oh, yeah.
Because then you get him talking
about his favourite thing.
Yes, I like that.
And he gets to have a good time
because he gets it.
And you go at the end of it,
that's fantastic.
I didn't know about that.
Thank you.
And I'll definitely get into them.
Yeah, okay.
What's a Nickelback?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, I'm moving house again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Call up Amber the van.
Try it again.
Now you're going to have to
pack those boxes again,
you pov-o prick.
Guys, I'm desperate for this radio job.
If I ever move house again, I can't pack my own boxes.
That's the aspirational life that I need to lead.
Can't get in a flotation tank after you do that.
So in my apartment building,
you guys have both been there before
To my old apartment
It's out the back of the apartment building
We talked about it a lot on the podcast
It's like the Kato Katelyn sort of deal
You live out the back of the rest of the apartments
And you're this
You know, a little bit of an odd area
It's an odd
I don't understand the reference
Kato Katelyn was the pool boy of OJ Simpson
And so he was like
He came up in all the trials because he was
sort of there, but he was like this
sort of drifter that was like,
oh, you can clean the pool or whatever. You can
live out the back next to the pool
in this sort of little shack.
A back shack?
Yeah, the back shack. And so then
he got dragged into court even though he was just
like a fuckhead.
And so it's a serious thing and then Kato Kaelin gets called to the even though he was just, you know, like a fuckhead. And so it's a serious thing.
And then Cato Kaelin gets called to the stand and he's like,
Oh, dude, I don't know.
I didn't hear any stabbing, dude.
I was listening to Nickelback, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
People who've listened to this podcast for 10 years gone,
When the fuck are they going to talk about the OJ trial?
I need to know what happened.
Wow, they got 10 more years to wait on Chando's book.
Wait 20 years?
So yeah, my apartment out the back of the building,
there's the main apartment block, then there's a car park.
But the car park that's there is only for some of the building.
There's only about six spaces in that car park.
It's pretty small.
Did you have a car park?
I did.
Look at you. Very good stuff. So there's a laneway that leads car park. It's pretty small. Did you have a car park? I did. Look at you.
Very good stuff.
So there's a laneway
that leads into that.
The truck was pulled up
in the laneway
as they were moving
the stuff out of my apartment.
So if anyone was coming
out of that small car park,
they were going to have to move.
But it's a small enough car park
that I was like,
you'll probably be fine.
So right near the end,
this lady comes out
from the building.
She needs to get out.
Quick.
Yeah. And I'm like, oh, they're just wrapping up.
They're putting the last thing on the truck.
They'll just be like a couple of minutes.
Just put my nickelback CD in and then we'll be off.
So she comes out and she's like, oh, do you live out the back?
And I'm like, yeah.
And she goes, I've always wanted to know what it's like out there.
And I'm like, well, I mean, you've got a couple of minutes while they finish up the van.
Do you want to come have a look?
Oh, here we go.
This is the start of a porno.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Put this on the top shelf of your house right now.
I can't wait until Tommy gets called to the stand.
Yeah.
So she comes in to my apartment that's like basically empty by this point.
Yeah, she does.
And she's like, just the bed left.
Here we go.
Did you come into her apartment?
Sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Did you pack her box yourself?
Yes, there we go.
There we go.
Put it in her back shack.
Yeah.
Come on.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
I might take a walk
around the block
for a few minutes
while you guys...
Do a couple of abs.
Hang on. Did you put a nickel up her. Do a couple of abs. Hang on.
Did you put a nickel up her back?
There we go.
There we go.
Yep, yep.
So, yeah, so then she comes into the apartment and she's looking around.
She's like, yeah, right.
It's pretty small in here, isn't it?
Yeah, it's pretty.
These are pretty small apartments. Mine went in the main building it? Yeah, it's pretty. These are pretty small apartments.
Like, mine went in the main building.
Like, yeah, it's bigger than this.
And did you say, let's go check out?
Let's go back to yours.
Tit for tat.
Let's have a squeeze.
Let's have a squeeze at your tit for tat.
Or your tat since it's whatever.
I'm going to have to really tread carefully.
So, I've got my dick out.
No.
Do you have to tread carefully because your dick's out
and it's such a thumper that it's hanging on the floor?
Because you don't walk on the tip?
Yeah.
He loses balance.
Yeah, Chandler's forward.
Just think it's a man with one giant arm.
How does he play soccer?
When are you going to show me your dick?
No one has done more for the image of my penis than Tommy Little.
Really out there doing some good PR for me.
I've played against a man with one arm.
I've never played against a man with three legs like Tommy does.
How did he kick that?
When I first met Tommy, I thought he was in Tripod,
and then I realised, I know.
He is. He saw Tripod on the poster and went, went oh that's tommy oh there's a bear hey baby do you want to come back to mine and get a look at gatesy
um so yeah then she she's just she's just basically rinsing my apartment just going
she's like what do you what do you pay here a week? I'm like, oh, this much?
She's like, yeah, see.
Why didn't you say the amount?
I pay $20 more to be in the building and it's, yeah, it's much better than this.
It's so much bigger.
Like, I'd never live here.
Like, I reckon I'd be really depressed if I lived here.
Bro, she was just trying to get you up to her apartment.
She was negging you.
Because I've spoken to her and everyone in the building
and I said, if anyone can get a look at Tommy's dick,
trace it.
And I want that piece of billboard for you to trace it on.
Yeah, and get your moving friends to fucking lift Tommy's dick
off the ground and load it into the fucking apartment.
Yeah, that's why he wanted a van.
in a barman.
Yeah.
That's why he wanted a van.
So then,
my upstairs neighbour,
who I've talked about on the show before.
The big old
Cheech and or Chong upstairs.
Stomping around up there.
Is this the hottie?
Are we not allowed to say that?
I don't know.
Have we seen a hottie?
Is there a hottie?
I don't know.
I'd say she was attractive.
Oh, is she?
Okay, good.
I can't believe out of all the stuff we've talked about that's the thing that made the needles skip off
the record no no i paused because i was like fuck how did i miss the hottie isn't wasn't that she's
gonna have to have some kind of physical or mental ailment for us to want to talk about
no positive descriptions please sorry i'm sorry i mis the room. How dare you? I don't have an aptitude.
We're only talking about disabled people on this podcast.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Anyway, back to your story about yourself.
So, yeah, the upstairs neighbour comes in.
She comes past and sees all this happening.
She didn't know I was moving.
So she comes past, sees an empty apartment and goes, oh, wow.
And then she's like,
can I,
can I go onto your balcony
for a second
and just see
what you've been able
to see of my balcony?
Whoa.
Yeah.
So she goes on
onto the balcony
and then she's kind of like
looking up under the,
underneath,
like trying to get a,
I guess trying to work out
if I've been able to like
upskirt or something.
Are you upskirting from home?
Yeah.
Up-balcony.
Yeah.
Are you up-balcony? It's like, what do you think Iirting from home? Yeah. Up-balcony. Yeah. Are you up-balcony?
It's like, what do you think I've been doing down here?
Up-balcony.
Up-balcony.
What does that mean?
Also, what's she been doing on the balcony to warrant fucking being worried about?
That's it.
What do you mean?
She's been down-balcony.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, so that's...
And what was her review?
Was she like, oh, I can't believe you could see this?
Or was she just like, oh, yeah, that's fine?
She didn't really have any – yeah, she just –
It's hard when you've made up the story, isn't it,
to think of what reaction you want.
She just did normal.
She said, I don't know how to answer that question.
Yeah, there's a lot of me trapped in just very awkward interactions
that I do.
Like, actually pretty simple interactions that I just do not know how to get my way out of.
This is your farewell to the building.
This is my farewell to the building.
Just having weird fucking talks with everyone in your shop.
Having my neighbour come in and go,
I'd kill myself if I had to live in an apartment like this.
And it's like, yeah, I'm moving.
Like, I'm not moving in.
So you're going to be missed.
I'm not moving out and moving back in.
But also, unless I'm romanticising
I thought that apartment was sweet
It's fine
Yeah
It was good
So then I'm like
Really on the defensive about it
I'm like
Oh you'd be
You know it looks different
With furniture in here
Like when you're just
In the empty room
It looks bigger
With furniture in
Put a few
Mick bodies in there
And fucking boom
So hang on
So did you fuck
Both of these women
Yeah
Isn't that obvious
With the one dick
With that one huge dick of yours
You go to that end
You come to this end
Yeah
Yeah
But yeah
That's my
That's my man with a van experience
Do you have anything like that Tommy
When they were
When they were boxing up
I don't know
I didn't talk to them
Gumball machine
Tommy's people
Take care of that
Yeah exactly
I didn't
I just burnt the stuff at the last place
bought some new shit here i went to dave and i went hey bro yeah a whole new house you're just
worried about the the big buck hunter that's it that's the that's the only thing that what they
actually they hated moving that yeah i'll bet okay yeah and you know looking at it now that's
bigger than i remember a buck hunter it's massive it's fucking huge it's the last one before they
started that started to be a consideration right so they start now that they're like flat screens a Buck Hunter thing. Bro, it's massive. It's fucking huge. It's the last one before they started,
that started to be
a consideration.
Right.
So they start,
now that they're like
flat screens and
they're quite,
they would be quite moving.
Yeah, that's old school
curved screen
and that looks
fucking heavy.
Big TV, yeah.
You know what?
I've seen that in
different houses
you've lived in.
I thought I was
doing you a favour.
A Brett Blake friend
of the show
was like,
oh, I'd love to get
a Buck Hunter and I'm like, oh, fucking Tommy Little's got one and I just assumed you a favour Brett Blake Friend of the show Was like Oh I'd love to get a buck hunter
And I'm like
Oh fucking Tommy Little's got one
And I just assumed
You'd be fucking over having that
And I said to you
You know what about this
And you're like
They cost fucking 20 grand mate
No they're not that much
Well it's a heap though isn't it
It's a lot yeah yeah
I thought you'd be happy
For him to take it off your hands
And you're like
This is how much they cost
I'm like fucking hell
Yeah no
And I love it
Now you've got like
A western type hat on it.
Do you have to wear that when you're playing?
Oh, yeah, you do too.
Where is it?
I can't even see that.
Like a Smokey the Bear-type hat.
Oh, yeah, and a cookbook.
That's what you do with the buck.
You work out which way you're going to prepare it.
What are you putting in when you get the top score on it?
What are your initials going in as?
What's the leaderboard at the moment?
Weapon.
Don't be shy.
How many letters are you allowed to have? Maybe we can guess it. How many the leaderboard at the moment? Weapon. Don't be shy. How many letters
are you allowed to have?
Maybe we can guess it.
How many letters
are you allowed to have?
It's really mature
and see if you can work out.
So it's three, three.
So three letters,
three numbers.
No, no,
just three, three.
Big, anything.
Oh, so you can have
two three-letter words.
Anything?
Three?
Numbers Letters Anything
Oh okay
Three
So the idea is
First name
Last name
Right
Which doesn't happen
Very often in life
Big 069 or something
No that's
I wish I thought of that
That's pretty good
More aggressive
Oh well
F-U-K
That's good
Y-O-U
C-N-T
Yeah Is correct Ding ding ding For the first one F-U-K-Y-O-U. CNT is correct.
Ding, ding, ding for the first one.
F-K-N.
No.
Is it F-C-K?
Mad.
No, no.
CNT is the first one.
F-C-E.
F-C-E.
What's that mean?
Cuntface.
Cuntface.
Oh, nice.
There we go.
Wow, this cuntface is...
That removalist would have got it in.
Could have scanned all the possible... He can look at the machine not plugged in and go,
I reckon I know what the top score is on that.
And I noticed, Tommy,
these guys were obviously guessing quite hard at the thing.
And when I ask the question, have a guess,
were you just thinking to yourself,
I don't know what you want me to say?
N-I-C-K-L-E...
No, that's too many letters.
I love the idea
That someone accidentally
Pulls out the cord
Of your machine
And you're like
I had Cuntface's top score
What the fuck are you doing
How am I going to beat
The top score
On my own machine
Or it ends up
In a lost and found
And they're like
We'll know who the owner is
Their name will be there
Yeah
No my guess
Is it's just going to be
Cum something
Yeah that's good
Cum bum
Or something like that
That's pretty good You're just thinking Of your own name I am That's what my parents's going to be cum something. Yeah, that's good. Cum bum or something like that. That's pretty good.
You're just thinking of your own name.
I am, yeah.
That's what my parents were going to call me.
That's my name.
You've seen my passport.
Yeah.
Well, I went to the dentist this week.
I had a thing where I had a slight little concern.
I was like, fuck, I better go and get it checked out.
And it went to, it's that thing where you go in there and you go, oh, look, it's like
a checkup. And they go, oh, what are thing where you go in there and you go, oh, look, it's like a checkup.
And they go,
oh, what are you worried about?
Is there anything we need to worry about?
Like a concern,
like when you breathe in,
you can feel air rushing over a nerve.
Well, I was biting on stuff.
Yeah, I was biting on stuff
and chewing on stuff
and going,
oh, that doesn't feel right.
So I better check in.
Because sometimes I do that.
Eat.
So I thought,
I better check that out.
Masticate.
Yes, thank you.
That's where I used to live,
in the masticatorium. Ah, yes. That's where I used to live, in the masticatorium.
Ah, yes.
A lot of chewing in there.
Absolutely in the dark.
Yummy down on you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really lube my mouth up and get to it.
Fuck me in the face.
Now we're cooking.
There we go.
There needs to be more letters on the big buck under so we can have that as a name.
F-U-K-F-C-E.
Reporting for duty.
the big buck under so we can have that
as a name.
F-U-K-F-C-E
reporting for duty.
So I went in there
and went,
right,
so I made the mistake
of in hindsight
of saying
specifically this thing.
You flagged it.
Yeah,
flagged it.
So then they go
looking for that
and they go,
right,
we've checked it.
Seems like it's fine.
I'm like,
great,
no need for me
to be here anymore.
Oh,
we better just run
three or four more tests.
I'm like,
no,
no,
no,
you've done one test.
That's what a test is for.
If it comes up negative, then this is fine.
I look for more.
No, I keep looking.
I love the man who's, so, sir, we found your one S.T.D.
Do you want to?
No, no, no other test.
Your cock is falling off.
We noticed you're missing one arm.
We don't need to look any further.
Do you want us to prescribe anything?
No, no, just good to know.
Test my balance and let me go.
Just make an appearance, show my face and right to go.
Told the missus I did it, so here now, write me a note.
So then they start wanting to do x-rays.
Yeah, but you looked.
It's all fine.
I'm like, you know what's going on here.
It's like they're running the meter.
It's like a cab.
They're running the meter.
X-rays, a little bit more than just running the meter it's like a cap yeah yeah you know they're running the meter i feel like x-rays a little bit more than just running the meter like yeah yeah yeah i feel
like i'm stuck in traffic and all of a sudden it's like oh fucking hell it's not like you can look at
the mirror and go oh no i'm i'm cool like yeah yeah you know what i can't hop out of the cab
what kills me about the x-ray is they go well we can't find any problems but we've got a machine
yeah yeah but maybe you can find more stuff why don't i keep we've got a machine Yeah yeah That maybe can find more stuff
Why don't I give the money
To the machine
Yeah yeah yeah
Why don't I just start
Seeing the machine one on one
Why do I need fucking this person
Sounds like someone wants
To fuck an x-ray machine
You should get one
Fuck
Oh
That's a very good move
How fucking good
Are you going to leave the room
Nah I'm fine
Yeah yeah yeah
Put your initials into it
We've got an X-ray here.
I clocked it.
For a C&D.
I'm on the final level.
I'm playing the big boss.
A foot.
Can't believe you didn't say an arm.
How good would that be?
If you go, you've got to try and guess what's up my arse.
You play it. Well, you know because you put it there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm happy with that. If you go, you've got to try and guess what's up my arse. Oh.
You play it.
Well, you know because you put it there. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
People come around.
It's your hand again.
That's why the guy lost his arm.
We play the puppet game.
Yeah.
Look, his lips don't move.
Why am I putting on a voice?
I feel so...
I'm Tommy Little.
I feel so violated.
So I go through the whole procedure
we do all the tests
and whatever
I'm like fucking hell
alright okay
so they couldn't find anything
it's like great
do you want another x-ray
I'm like no I don't want another x-ray
oh should we leave that
till next time
yes we shall leave it
till next time
all that sort of stuff
so my dentist
is
I would say
I'll preface
I'll preface this
next bit by saying,
I don't believe that English is their first language.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Bro, what is this?
I'm just saying.
What is this show?
Here goes another one.
I'm just saying.
You go, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you've changed.
And certainly not for the better.
I don't think this makes as much sense.
Is he still in the country now?
Did you get him deported?
No, no, no.
Him or her.
You know, anyone can be a dentist these days.
I apologise.
I apologise.
That's actually right.
We haven't had a go at women yet.
It must be on your hit list in your phone.
So we get the explanation.
Now, the dentist starts, like, you know, cleaned everything up.
I'm almost out of there.
I'm almost out of there.
Almost out of there.
But they're looking up Google Translate.
Yeah, yeah.
Is this why you said it's like a taxi?
No, no, no, no.
No.
No.
No, but that does work.
But a little bit.
But you get a curry on the way. No, no, no. They said you can't eat for half an hour afterwards. Okay, but that does work. But a little bit. But you get a curry on the way.
No, no, no.
They said you can't eat for half an hour afterwards.
Okay, damn.
So, no.
So I got to go out.
And the dentist uses some terminology that I don't think I've ever heard,
or I like to think no one's ever heard in a dentist's office,
which is I've got everything out, I've done the clean,
we've got the apparatus out of the mouth, all that sort of stuff, and they're giving me a bit of an update on
how things are going in my mouth.
And the dentist described my teeth as poofy.
Sorry?
The dentist described my teeth as poofy.
I mean, we've been saying that for years.
Dave O'Neill's been saying that for years.
What do you mean?
And I don't know.
And they said it twice.
Described my teeth as puffy.
So even if you take an accident to that, like, puffy doesn't make sense either.
Yes.
Exactly.
That's what I'm like.
I'm like, well, I won't say anything.
And if they say it twice.
Your teeth aren't puffy, by the way.
And did you not say anything Because you had his dick
In your mouth
Yes
Nah
That is the good stuff
That is a very
That's what it's all about
So you didn't ask
To seek clarification
No I didn't want to say
What do you mean by that
Yes
That's what you could have said
Well I was stunned
And also I had my phone
Out making a note of it
Going fuck it
I better bring this up
next episode.
This is like me
with Nickelback.
You don't want to give
a wrong response to that.
Also, it's hard
when you're in your 40s
and you discover
that you've got poofy teeth.
Yes.
Like, that's embarrassing.
It's weird that my teeth
came out without me knowing.
But yeah,
I've got one wrong...
The country boy in him
just going like,
I've got to bash
my own teeth out now.
Yeah, maybe remove
some of my teeth
so I don't have to remove them myself.
So you couldn't get an answer out of them.
What have they been talking about in the lead up to that?
Are there any clues there?
I feel weird to say to someone, what do you mean my teeth are puffy?
Well, you don't have to say the second half.
You can just say, what do you mean?
What do you mean by that?
What does that mean?
Is that bad?
Do I need to do anything about that?
Do you mean, do I like Nickelback?
Yeah.
I've done that answer.
Okay, well, I guess what we're learning, Tommy and I,
is we need to ask more questions.
But look, the first time I felt stunned,
I'm like, well, I don't know where to go next.
I have a request, possibly.
So you have Invisalign?
Yes.
Can you please...
Or it could be any brand?
No, they certainly didn't give me any discounts,
so it could be anyone.
This is why we're having this meeting.
Right.
Can you please say,
because I'm assuming you still have some more to go?
Not long.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I would have thought more,
but that's fine.
Can you?
But you'll have another bill to pay at some point,
will you?
I don't believe so.
Oh, damn it.
I really wanted you to look them dead in the eyes and say,
how many...
I've got a podcast.
Yep.
I've got a few followers.
Yep.
How many posts would I have to do to get this?
See, this is the thing.
Because, as we've mentioned, Luke McGregor, who's your ex-housemate...
And lover.
...did get a free deal
with his teeth
liners if he
begrudgingly then shouted it out on
social media.
It would have been the worst
for them because then he got all in his own
head about not wanting to appear
like he was doing an ad, even though
he was doing an ad.
Nobody cares, mate.
But also, how are you supposed
to casually put Invisalign
into
like
into content
to make it look natural
and he was like
ad
ad
ad
sorry everyone
this is an ad
sorry don't listen to the ad
and they were just like
oh mate could you just make it
you know a bit
a bit more casual
yeah yeah yeah
just watch it and tell him
it's teeth straightening
and I think if
people
I get it, you know,
if people do ads with betting companies and stuff,
people rightly get angry at people who they held in high regard
or they know you've sold out.
But I think if anyone...
We do ads for Coles.
If anyone, yeah, I know, and we judge you.
I think if anyone can do a teeth straightening ad,
no one is going to begrudge McGregor for doing that
no one's like
oh you sell out
yeah yeah yeah
totally
it's such a good
positive product
like yeah no one's going
look at this fucking
seller doing an ad
for the children's hospital
what a cunt
yeah yeah yeah
and also
get it girl
get those things
I knew he had that deal
and to be honest
when I saw what
they'd done for him
I was like well they can fix mine
If they can fucking fix his
So I was in there
And doing the first consultation
And I'm like
Yeah
They're like
How are you going
I'm like
Yeah I know Luke McGregor
Like oh yeah
What are your problems
Yeah I've got a podcast
Yeah it goes out to this many people
Yeah and they're like
Cool man
Anyway this is how much it costs
Yeah well they've been burnt
They're not gonna
They're not gonna get
You know They're not gonna get you know
they're not gonna get a comedian
to do an ad again
after the last experience
so yeah
so are you meant to have
an appointment again
where you can get to the bottom
of these poofy teeth
yes
I literally did book one
in the other day
okay
so maybe I can
we need to know
I need to find out
I need to know if my teeth are poofy
yes
yeah
need to know if it's just a thing
that my teeth are going through in university.
Yeah, yeah.
Just a phase.
If it's a real deal.
Self-discovery.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Just, you know,
it's normal just to like a teeth
up the back of the molar.
You know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll keep us posted.
Yeah.
We need to, yeah,
we need to let people know
how to prevent poofy teeth.
Yes.
If it is a mailing list and you are going to
let people know individually, I don't
need it.
I'm happy with a bit of the story.
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alright, we'd better wrap it up for another week on the Little Dumb Dumb
Club. Tommy, Little Adam Rosenbach, thank you
very much for joining us. Thank you, gang.
Hey, this might be a weird place
to say this, and I don't even know
if you can delete it.
Have you talked about
Lisa Storer here?
That's a good point.
Yeah.
It would be a nice thing
to say something of.
Well,
huge comedy fan
and absolute legend.
Absolute original fan
of this podcast.
Yeah.
A day one-er.
Was it the very first live podcast we ever did
oh man uh we we messaged it was about a week ago now i got a message from brad her brother so so
what's happened is lisa store is a original comedy fan of this show of many of us we knew her and she
unfortunately passed away a week ago yeah out of out of nowhere yes and it's
probably just i don't know if brad still listens or he's listening now but it's probably just a
nice place to say yeah what a legend and absolutely very very very very supportive of us over the year
lovely person much loved much missed like i said i mean the first live podcast we ever did in the
lead up to it i I was saying to everyone,
come along.
You know, we didn't know what to expect.
I was saying, come along.
Everyone, bring along signs that say Team Dassler or Team Chandler to show where your true colours are.
She was the only person to do that.
There was one person there
and she put hashtag Team Chandler.
So I did win that contest 1-0
out of everyone that was there.
But she was the one person to come along
and play along with the gag.
Mate, she was great. Yeah, very sad
and yeah, but
our thoughts are with her family and friends and everything.
Yeah, man, and having a little bub.
And Brad, if you are listening, much love, mate.
I hope you're doing alright.
But yes, we've got to wrap it up here
for another week.
Guys, have you got things that you would like to
plug? Tommy Little,
you're on radio every day.
I am now a listener of your show
on the radio every day
because I am picking up my child
from daycare sometimes.
Got him.
I now listen to Cody
on the radio in the morning
and you in the afternoon.
Three to six on the hit network
around this great country of ours.
I listen for a couple of minutes a day
or however long it takes to go there and back.
And I'm thoroughly confused by a bit where you just...
All I hear, I never hear what the story is.
All I hear is you making up things and then listeners ringing up.
And you playing it straight.
And listeners ringing up and going, what the fuck is going on?
And then I'm like, fuck, I've got to find out what happens.
Oh no, I'm home now.
And then I don't hear any context.
So I get complaints daily, even when I'm on break at the moment.
Because it's literally an example would be.
So here's a segment.
Right.
It's called, how long till they tell us we're wrong?
Right.
And we start the segment by going, all right, if you listen now, you're in on the joke.
And we need you to defend us to the hilt.
Okay.
Right.
So I've never heard that bit.
And so I need you to call up and defend whatever we're saying right but people are going to tune in
halfway through this and they're not going to hear this bit they're the ones we're playing the joke
on that's me you and so then and so then we'll go um anyway so we're talking about favorite memories
from the uh 2001 olympics right right 13 10 60 If you want to join Stanley Kubrick
Presents the Olympics
And so people
Ring in
Furious
And for weeks after
I still get messages like
The Olympics were in
2000 fuckhead
How do you not know that
But people will ring in
And they'll go
The Olympics were in
2000
And we'll go
I don't think they were
Let's just go to our
Next caller
And he's like
Mate I was there
It was 2001
Like what he was
Doing there
And we said the
Opening ceremony Was in Perth And mate I was there it was 2001 like what are you talking about and we said the opening ceremony
was in Perth
and
can I guess
whether this was
a Tommy or a
Carrie idea
it came from
the journalist
yeah
well all I've heard
is the middle
and I'm like
what the fuck
is this
I was listening to
a thing where
you were like
what's your favourite
moment of friends
and it's like
people ring up
going when
Kramer walked through the door yeah we love that bit I'm like what's your favourite moment of friends and it's like people ring up going when Kramer walked
through the door
you guys were like
yeah we love that bit
I'm like what the fuck
is going on with this show
and I hear
because then we'll go back
to the original
the call who complained
and they'll get like
three people telling them
they're wrong
and it's so funny
to hear them break
and they're like
I guess Kramer was in there
maybe Kramer
yeah okay
yeah
Stinky Dog is the song
yeah
yeah
okay great
now I know that
now I know
I've heard it too many times
I'm like
and I keep texting you
get involved
what the fuck is going on
and you don't answer
so now I know
good
yeah so check that out
have you got live shows
coming up Tommy
oh
I do
hypothetically yes
I've got Perth
and the Central Coast
still to go for this tour
right
and so
yes
check your local listings
Rosie what have you got
why don't I plug
my audio book
so you can get
Paris and Other Disappointments
is available on Audible
and probably wherever
you get your audio books
I'm assuming
and how long did it take you
to read out the entire
it was like five
four or five days
of about four or five hours.
I was about to say brutal, but that's probably the dimension.
No, no, the whole book is about five and a bit hours.
How many takes?
So that's the thing.
So you can't have a breath in the sentence.
So you will read out, say, two sentences,
and normally when you keep talking you'll be like, and then go like that.
But you have to take the breath and then start the sentence again
so you kind of read everything
in two sentence blocks
and then I'd read something and be like
I've got the intonation wrong on that
I'm being aggressive when it's not aggressive
or I'm being funny
I forgot to hit play and record
I fucking felt for the tech
I felt for the tech who had to sit through all that shit
did you read bits I fucking felt for the tech I'm reading the wrong book I felt for the tech who had to sit through all that shit oh bloke
did you
read bits
that in hindsight
after reading them aloud
you
wished you'd written
different
yeah right
yeah there was a couple of bits
where you're just like
ah fuck
you think there's something there
that you're like
I should have done this joke
on that bit
did you punch it up
did you put any improv in there
no because it's got to match
the book
for whatever reason
yeah
what are you doing there in the recording studio?
What do you do for a job?
I remember O'Neill telling us once when he did the audiobook of his book,
you have to read out the spelling mistakes.
If anything's made it through the proofing and has been printed as incorrect,
you have to read it out incorrectly.
Oh, no, I didn't have to do that, but you do notice...
How do you read out a spelling mistake anyway?
If you put a K instead of a C? It's more grammatical where they've left in a word like i'd change the tense of a
sentence so it would have been like i we did do this to we had done this but i'd left both so
it'd be like we did done this right and then as i'm reading i'm like fuck out of that and there
were so many of those that made it through i'm like what the fuck was the editor doing
so i didn't read those out for betaim. Did you ever get angry at the author
not realising it was you?
This guy's a fucking moron.
I hate this guy's dad.
I'm only reading professional books.
Hey, the book's great.
I know I've said it to you in private,
but the book's great.
Thanks.
Appreciate it.
Alright, check all that out.
Guys, thanks very much for listening
and we'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
And they've done it again.
Bernie.
Straight off the instep.
Straight off the... He's got new laces.
Not even bothering to mention if he's kicked a big one.
Just saying, Bernie.
Well, it's implied.
He's connected so sweetly with it.
The tone with which you say Bernie.
Yeah. I didn't so sweetly with it. The tone with which you say Bernie. Yeah.
I didn't even look at the ball.
I just heard that sound.
You can hear that point of impact and go,
that's out of there.
And you can tell by the look on Bernie's face.
You can see his reaction.
He knows what he's done.
He's done a bit of a Babe Ruth of football.
Just pointed out of the stadium.
Pointed his foot up into the air and you've gone,
I reckon I know what's happening here.
Bernie's done it again.
But yes, nice to be in Little Towers for a week.
An away game, as it were, for us.
Treated it like a home game though, if we are Bernie.
I'm assuming we are Bernie in the metaphor.
Have we ever actually talked about that?
Have we ever worked that out?
What that relates to?
Are we Bernie in that situation?
I kind of view it as more like he's the, you know, not so much the weatherman,
but it's like he observes what we've done.
And then based on what he kicks, that's what he thinks.
That's the quality of what he thinks the episode was.
Is it like Groundhog Day and they pull Bernie out of the tree trunk
and he just kicks a big one and you go,
ah, six more weeks of great podcasting.
That's it.
And it is like Groundhog Day because it's like every week they've done it again.
Yeah, right.
It never falters.
I thought maybe it was possibly like Voltron.
Me and your powers combine together to instead of
voltron it's like the podcasting version of voltron bernie yes this giant podcasting robot
called bernie i get into my car you get into your helicopter they both morph they link up together
and they form bernie yeah is that i mean that's my recollection of what voltron the cartoon was
like where they'd it's, whatever the problem would be,
they'd be like, oh, fuck, how are we going to do this?
Oh, no, it's getting worse.
Oh, what the fuck are we going to do?
And then it's like, I know the thing we do every single week.
Yes.
Combine all of our powers,
and that'll fuck all this shit right off.
That's a good point.
And happen every week.
Yeah, it's that and Captain Planet and the Power Rangers
are the three off the top of my head
that are all the same.
Right.
All the same theory.
They've all got powers.
Yeah.
They can link up to create a superpower.
Mm-hmm.
And they don't whip that out until minute 25.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just go straight to fucking, just get Captain Planet in there from the first minute.
Right.
What's he doing?
Yeah.
Just summon him.
He doesn't give a fuck.
Yeah.
What's the, I mean, is that supposed to be a metaphor for teamwork for kids, I guess?
I don't know.
Or is it a metaphor for on your own, you're a fucking loser.
You can't get jack shit done.
Well, if it's meant to be that metaphor, it's like, yeah, spend 24 minutes fucking around
by yourself.
Yeah.
See how far you get.
Yeah.
Give it a crack.
Waste everyone's time trying to do it by yourself.
But inevitably, you are going to have to use other people.
Should I blame how I did in uni exams and stuff on Voltron
and Captain Planet and stuff?
Right.
It taught me to fuck around until the last minute
and then pull out the Hail Mary,
except I couldn't.
And then you just cheat off five other friends.
Or like when you're in uni and you have a group exercise
and there's two people
that just could not give a fuck.
They're not coming
to any of the meetings
and then invariably
it just gets done
by one person
at the last minute anyway.
Right.
But that's not a combination
of a combination
where five people
are morphing their powers together.
That's just one person
in the group
getting the shits
and going,
I'll just fucking do this.
Right.
And then we'll have
a group presentation
to put together.
Right.
There's no Voltron in that metaphor.
There's no Captain Planet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There doesn't need to be an arm with a group presentation.
Exactly.
Yeah.
There's just two stoners that just didn't even show up to present it.
And then they just get a nice A because some nerd did all the fucking work for them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I am currently reclining on a couch.
First time I've done that for Talking Dum Dum,
getting into the Talking Dum Dum spirit.
This is a chat show where we talk about the events of the Little Dum Dum Podcast.
Where the two hosts interview each other.
Yes, and we are announcing our first ever live show.
Oh, yeah.
We're talking about Voltron and Power Rangers,
but we've got a big scoop here.
Yeah, we've buried the lead.
Buried the lead?
Fucking what? What's the lead?
Because burying the lead is L-E-D-E.
What's a lead?
Is it L-E-D-E? I always assumed it was
L-E-A-D. I believe that's
not correct. Oh, okay. I'm looking it up
right now. I assumed it was, yeah,
you're burying the lead story. Yeah, I
don't. In some other shit. I don't
believe that's true. You're opening with the weather story in some other shit. I don't believe that's true.
You're opening with the weather.
It's like there's been another terrorist attack in New York,
and today we're going to open the news with the forecast
for the next seven days in Melbourne.
Well, you could do that if you were the New York media,
and it's like, oh, there's been 7-11.
But anyway, let's cut to the weather.
Yeah, pretty dusty yeah a lot of fear out there today um that's it is that almost too smart for the for the funny fellas the bury the bury the lead news bulletin yeah whereas it's
like they might they open with the fucking dog on a skateboard yeah and they work their way back to
you know big celebrity death or... Yeah, maybe, maybe.
Well, here's this, burying the lead.
A lead, L-E-D-E, is the introductory section in journalism
and thus to bury the lead refers to hiding the most important
and relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information.
Yeah, in journalism, the lead refers, yeah,
to the introductory bit that's intended to entice the reader to read the full story.
Why have they invented their own word there?
Like their own spelling of the word?
Because bearing the lead, the lead story, that makes the exact same level of sense.
These fucking journalists, they've gone, nah, we've got to have our own word.
Well, that's it.
They deal with, they're so sick of like, you know, dealing with words every day.
It's like, we're the only, we're the guys that keep words alive.
Let's, why don't we have our own ones?
And just, just made their own up.
I reckon it's like someone on the autocue just didn't know how to spell and they've
spelled it L-E-D-E and then that's kind of gone around and it's like, that's the, that's
the official spelling now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I meant that. Yeah. I'm not bad at my, I like, that's the official spelling now. Yeah, I meant that.
Yeah.
I'm not bad at my, I'm not bad at the autocue job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, you're right.
As of time of recording, hopefully, if this is the way you're finding out about it, hopefully
there are tickets left.
But Brisbane, we have sold out our live podcast slash stand-up show on August the 7th, Saturday
afternoon at Lefty's.
Yep. At 2.30pm.
So what happens now is if you got your tickets to the live talking dum-dum, that's at 5.30pm.
What happens is we go from Lefty's to Good Chat Comedy Club, which I believe is directly over the road.
You come out the front door, you dodge traffic Frogger style.
You play your little own real-life version of Frogger.
You hop on some logs, you jump on some crocodiles' heads.
You drink.
And then you're out there at good chat.
Well, it's probably a little bit like that, even with no cars on the road,
because you've just been drinking at Lefty's for three hours. So you're coming out and going, whoa.
Yep.
I'm dodging the line in the middle of the road.
What do you think of Frogger?
As a game?
Yeah.
Oh, look, good memories.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fond memories.
Holds up, I've got to say. Really? Have you played it? They haven't cancelled it in 2021. Yeah, look, good memories. Yeah. Yeah. Fond memories. Holds up, I've got to say.
Really?
Have you played it?
They haven't cancelled it in 2021.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's timeless design.
It's pretty classic, you know.
It's just kind of infinite.
Gets harder and harder.
Simple to play.
Yeah.
Hard to get very good at.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's okay.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Look, this is your thing, video games.
Not for me.
Yeah.
Not for me.
Yeah. I can't know. Look, this is your thing, video games. Not for me. Yeah. Not for me. Yeah.
I can't.
If there was a Frogger machine in front of you right now set to free play,
you don't think you'd get on and have a good time?
I reckon I'd last like a minute.
Yeah.
I'd be, you know, I've talked about this on the show before,
but Championship Manager, my one weakness with video games.
Yep.
It's I haven't touched it for a while.
I haven't touched it for months.
Just because I need to, like, I get it.
I get the addictive nature of it, of video games.
So I've weaned myself off it and I just haven't gone near it for ages.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I'm off it.
I'm completely cold turkey.
Didn't you also, you went to go back in and it, like, deleted your save or something like
that?
Or your past progress was gone?
I was about 30 seasons in and it got rid of it.
That's the real headline here.
You buried the lead in this one.
No.
Because that is the biggest motivator to give up a game.
Your whole save's gone and you're like,
I actually fucking hate this game anyway.
No, no, no.
But that's not the case because then I was like,
oh, this is fucked.
I'll just start a new one 15 seasons in.
Yeah, right.
So it is sitting there about 15 seasons in.
Right.
Yeah.
But talking dumb-dumb, get along to that.
Yeah, look, come and we might have a guest or two on it as well.
Yep.
And it's only $15.
So it's basically a design.
So if you want to kick on after the live podcast,
because it finishes so early, finishes at 5 o'clock,
we'll be having a beer over the road and doing another little additional little show. much like actual kick-ons when you've been out at night or you've been at
a party or whatever where you just it's 4 a.m nothing of value is being uttered yeah you can
do that you can sit across the road and listen to us read names yes yes bring that forward pretty um
but yeah debut live show pretty pretty nervous to be up there in front of a crowd, to be honest.
We've never done that before.
Yeah.
I mean, the other boys in Little Dum Dum Club, obviously,
well-versed in these live shows.
But in terms of us on Talking Dum Dum.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, they'll have done their show across the street.
So we'll be at Good Chat ready to go.
We'll have been listening in.
We'll have the gig piped in and we'll be commenting on what they've just done over there on the stage.
And hopefully they don't go too long so that the beginning
of our live show is delayed.
Is there a way that if they go long, should we start anyway?
Should we start without?
Well, maybe we could send out our sacrificial lamb.
Is that the term?
Yes.
We could send out. I can't tell you how they spell that.
That might be L-E-B-M.
Yeah.
We could send out Talking Gibbo.
We could send out the Talking Gibbo boys to just kind of be our opening act and kill some time before they're done.
Should we crack open Talking Gibbo this week?
It's a very small update.
Talking Gibbo, of course, the show within the show within the show,
that's about updates on our fascination for Belle Gibson,
renowned cancer defeater.
Famous cancer grifter, Belle Gibson.
Yes.
Love it.
So she has been, I mean, she lives in Melbourne.
So this is the thing.
We've had updates from listeners and stuff like that.
I'd love to know where she lives.
You know, look, the goal is I'd love to know, I'd love to get her on the show.
Some guy messaged us saying he lives next door to her.
No.
Yeah.
What?
On Twitter.
Some guy DM'd us on Twitter saying she's his neighbour or she's his mate's neighbour or something.
Oh, fuck.
All right.
Well, I'm opening Twitter.
You must have.
So that's a big
So that's an update
Alright
So
Because I was going to say
I mean this guy notwithstanding
Because this is just
A random messaging us
It would be fascinating
To try and work out
How many degrees
Of separation there are
Between us and Bill Gibson
Right
Yes
Well I mean we've got
We've got that friend
Of my girlfriend
Who's friends with
One of the influencers
Who outed her So that's like I think that's friends with one of the influencers who added her.
So that's like, I think that's like four links.
There we go.
Could we get closer?
Right.
You found it?
Yep.
They've said, hey, listen to Talking Gibbo.
My friend lives next door to her.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm asking.
You're asking for the, don't ask what Belle's address is.
Ask what's your friend's address.
And then we'll go and knock on the doors either side.
What suburb?
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Yeah.
So we also got messaged a fair few times in the last couple of weeks about...
There's like a doco on BBC3 about it.
Have you watched that before?
Haven't been able to.
But look, I've read the book, so I think it's all covered by that.
But what I was going to say
is beyond that,
she's been spotted
by,
who do you reckon
spotted her online?
What,
a listener of this?
No, no.
Or someone we know?
Media.
Oh, media.
News media.
Oh, Nui Takoa.
No.
She's headlining
the big day out next year.
No, no, no.
No, yeah, she's headlining the canceroa. No. She's headlining the big day out next year. No, no, no.
No, yeah, she's headlining the cancer tent.
No, the Daily Mail have tracked it down. Okay, yeah, of course.
They've tracked it down.
Either that or someone else has tracked it down and they've just stolen it.
Yes.
Which is what they usually do.
She's spoken on a podcast and they've reported it as news.
Disgraced wellness blogger's been caught by disgraced news media outlet,
the Daily Mail.
Yep, yep.
Now that's Voltron.
Yeah.
Disgraced Voltron.
Yeah.
So, yeah, she's been spotted dropping off her kids.
I do love the reporting that they do a bit of, you know,
dropping off her kids despite the fact she has to pay $500,000 in fines.
It's like, I guess you shouldn't drop off your kids until that's done.
Yeah, yeah.
The idea what the petrol to school is eating into that fund that she's got to pay back.
Let me say this.
I think she should get back on the fake cancer because it was, you know, it was keeping her looking all right.
Oh, no.
At the moment, she needs to, she might need to, yeah, have a fake relapse, I reckon.
Get herself back in shape.
Is this Perez Hilton commenting on Bill Gibson?
Honey, get back on the fake canter.
Hey, I wouldn't do it with a good person.
Yeah, true.
It's hard to imagine anyone getting too defensive of this.
Yeah, so anyway, look.
She might be due a bit of fake chemo, I reckon. Yeah. So anyway, look, she might be due a bit of
fake chemo, I reckon.
Yeah.
I reckon.
Get the kegs down,
I reckon, Belle.
But anyway,
that's up to you.
What do you reckon
she's put on
since you last saw
pictures of her?
Oh, wow.
There'd be,
I reckon,
it'd be easy
five to ten.
Okay.
Surely.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm just saying,
I'm saying this
as an alert to you to keep fit because you've got the cookbook of hers. Surely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm just saying, I'm saying this as an alert to you to keep fit because you've got the cookbook of hers.
Yes.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, look, maybe she hasn't been cooking from that cookbook.
Well, it must be all that African food.
It must be pretty fatty.
Right, right.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's loading up on that spongy bread and the curries and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of, yeah, okay.
All right.
So what you're saying is you're blaming the Africans on this.
For this one?
Yeah.
For only this one.
Right.
I'm blaming the Africans.
Right, okay.
Based on the evidence available to me,
specifically the Africans that are cooking the food that she eats.
Right.
I think, and look, also, I can't see these photos.
You think she's going to church to eat? Yeah. The church is now a buffet. Communion. Right. I think. And look, also, I can't see these photos. You think she's going to church to eat?
Yeah.
The church is now a buffet.
Communion.
Right.
The African church communion is just a full curry that you have to get stuck into.
It's a bit of buffalo.
Yes, yes.
I also, I can't see these photos that you're looking at on the Daily Mail.
Wow.
No, it's pretty good over here.
Yeah. You've deliberately, you're looking at on the Daily Mail. Wow. Yeah. No, it's pretty good over here. Yeah.
You've deliberately, you're deliberately withholding from it.
Well, I don't want you to look at it and then go, nah, she looks good.
I'd still fuck her.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I think I'm going to try and watch the doco.
Quite a few people have sent it to us now.
Is this a recent thing?
It's a BBC3.
It's a brand new thing.
Oh, it's brand new, right?
I couldn't tell if it was something that people were sending us from five years ago or something.
No, no, no.
So let's talk in Gibbo.
Other updates.
So update on what we've been talking about the last couple of weeks and during this episode as well.
The big comeback from Kay Chandler.
Hall of Famer.
Team of the Century era,
Downsford Soccer Club.
What's happened is since we spoke on the main episode, I've got the call,
got the call up.
Not only have I got the call up.
The red phone started ringing.
Yes.
The comeback phone, the comeback line started going off.
Not only did I get hit up because I was sort of aiming for like in two weeks
time or
whatever they hit me up on the saturday night just after we recorded this we recorded yes saturday
afternoon at little's house yes yep little brought out the beers i started having some of them then
i get the message yeah actually we're short tomorrow do you want to come up and play oh
i was like absolutely not wow i need some more training and wow i was having beers at night so
i was like no no I can't do it.
Okay.
I've got to give myself time.
Yep.
And I've got to give myself, I've got to give the heads up to the show.
Yep.
As well.
So that's it.
So they locked me in for the week after.
So we're recording this on Tuesday.
Yes.
This is out on Wednesday.
So this weekend.
We're recording this on July 6th.
So the match is July 11.
Sunday. This weekend.
Yes, this weekend. If you're listening to it hot off the
races. One o'clock kickoff,
Dalesford Soccer Club. Home game.
Home advantage. Which isn't that much
of a great advantage because the pitch is not
great. And the pitch they were playing on last
week would have been fucking awesome.
North United,
that's who we're playing.
I don't know if the one-armed man is still there. week would have been fucking awesome. But anyway, North United, that's who we're playing. Yep.
I don't know if the one-armed man is still there, is still playing.
I don't know if he...
He might be making his 20-year comeback as well.
Who knows?
Yep.
Or he might be out there still, you know, killing fucking Richard Thimble's wife or
whatever the fuck that cuss name was.
I've got a good nickname for you if you see him.
Fugitive?
Pokey.
The one-armed bandit.
Oh, there we go.
Hey, Pokey.
Right.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I push him and try and tilt him, get him to pay out or something.
Here she is, the queen of the Nile.
All right.
All right.
Well, good.
Good.
Because you need a bit of trash talk on the field.
Exactly.
So I'm prepared just in case a man from 20 years ago is still playing.
Yep.
So in case he's not only disadvantaged in terms of having one arm,
but now he's 20 years on.
Yes.
So he's probably, I think he was well older than me when we played.
So he's probably a 50-year-old one-arm man.
I did have to assume he sorted out the balance issues in that time.
Well, can you ever really do that?
A lot of time to practice.
I don't know.
Like, just because you've got 20 years up your sleeve,
not sleeves, but sleeve.
Yep.
I don't know.
What if that's the arm that he lost
was the sleeve that he kept things up?
Now he's got nowhere to stash.
Well, you know what?
You know what?
In the last two weeks,
I've seen two different people,
and I've never noticed this happen before. I don't know if it's a trend with one-armed people. I've seen two one-armed people In the last two weeks, I've seen two different people, and I've never noticed this happen before.
I don't know if it's a trend with one-armed people.
I've seen two one-armed people in the last two weeks going around
with just the loose sleeve, flapping around.
Oh, yeah.
Usually they do a bit of tying it back and whatever.
Just walking around with that, going where I'm having to go,
wow, that's a floppy arm.
No, actually, wow, that's a one-armed person
who's just letting it all hang out.
Could be that they've just bought the top at Uniqlo or something.
It really spoke to them and they haven't had the chance
to get it modded yet.
Freshie.
I guess would you do that?
Yeah, you'd have to just...
What would you do with one arm?
What would I do with one arm?
With clothing.
That'd be good if you did that with one leg.
Would you do that with one leg?
Just keep the flapping, you know, other...
I was going to call it leg sleeve.
Half of the pants just flapping around.
No, well, I've got to get a prosthetic.
You're not seeing me walking around with one leg.
Do you?
Hopping everywhere.
What do you do with crutches?
You'd have crutches.
You'd have crutches.
I mean, maybe if it's like a – when it's very, very recent.
Right.
But I would imagine the prosthetic leg is more common than the prosthetic arm.
Yes.
But for me personally, if I lost an arm, I think I would get my –
I just would get – I'd find a good tailor and I'd say,
you're going to be doing a lot of work with me.
Here's my entire wardrobe.
I need you to take all the arms off and just close them over.
Right.
So.
So you wouldn't give people the fantasy, like if you were on a date, you wouldn't just have
the flapping arm there.
So for at least half.
I was on a date?
Yeah.
What?
If you were like, you know, if you were single again.
If this all goes south.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you lose your arm.
That's how I lose the arm.
Yeah.
My current girlfriend chops it off and I'm like, I'm out.
This is a deal breaker for me.
Or either that or the other way around.
You lose your arm and your girlfriend goes, come on.
I didn't start going out with you.
I didn't start going out with one arm, man.
This is, you're reneging on the deal.
Yep.
I'm in for all limbs or I'm out.
That left arm was my favorite thing about you.
Yeah.
In fact, it was the only good thing about you.
Well, you know, that was the arm that, you know, that did the magic.
Yep.
Yep.
You don't need to say it.
Without it.
Without it.
You know, I did all the magic everywhere.
Like, it's your good arm.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, you can't even use it on yourself.
Yeah.
You're going, love, come over here.
You've got to, you know, this, I'm on my wrong arm here.
Yeah.
I can't do anything. I can't figure it out. I'm going to rehab and they're teaching me how to, like, come over here. You've got to, you know, this, I'm on my wrong arm here. I can't do anything.
I can't figure it out.
I'm going to rehab and they're teaching me how to like pick things up.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you teach me how to finger with this hand, please?
Is there like a dummy that I can practice on?
Yes, yes.
Girlfriend goes, I'm out of here.
This is no good.
So you're having to start again.
All right.
So then your question is, I'm on a date.
Am I just going in with a loose sleeve? You're going with a flappy sleeve.
Or as opposed to what?
I'm getting it sealed up.
You seal it up like you're some sort of veteran.
Yeah.
You know, all pegged up right at the top of the shoulder.
Yeah, no, I'm going the full seal.
Right.
Okay.
I'm going in with the full seal.
You're going in with medals hanging off your lapel as well?
Yeah.
No, I'm stealing valor while I'm doing this as well.
Yeah.
And you're trying to, and you're making up a war that you didn't end?
Opening with the fact that I was a 9-11 first responder.
Right.
A building, the other building fell on your arm.
Yeah, that's how I lost it.
Right.
I got trapped.
My arm got trapped under building, under the second tower.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Okay, that's good.
And you won a medal for that somehow.
Yeah, no, I don't think I'd want the flappy sleeve.
I think it would annoy me too much.
But, you know, I think that'd be a fun little project.
You know, you take the clothes into a tailor and you just get them sealed up.
You know, it wouldn't feel as much like you're, you know,
you wouldn't feel like, you know, you're missing something as much, I think.
I like to think, because I saw two people doing this
and I've really never seen it happen before.
I'm just wondering maybe if they had tank tops, it gets hot in the summer.
They just invent a new sleeve on their tank top just to have that flapping around.
Well, you don't even need one hole of the tank top.
You can just have that side sealed over.
Oh, yeah.
Not as good for ventilation.
No.
But.
Yeah. That's interesting. Any one-armed people out there, let us know what it's like. Right. Oh, yeah. Not as good for ventilation. No. But. Yeah.
That's interesting.
Any one-armed people out there, let us know what it's like.
Yeah.
What sort of life are you living?
Like, clothes-wise.
What sort of decisions do you have to make?
Oh, man.
And any, like, amputation-style thing freaks the living hell out of me.
Right.
It's up there as, like, top fears.
What?
In terms of the concept of it or
you seeing people with amputated limbs oh yeah just having to see it oh really no no no like you
know being in a fucking car accident or whatever and you survive but it's like the legs gotta come
off that's that style of thing okay i've said this on the show before but i saw it this morning
dead animals on the street oh yeah yeah freaks me out yeah dead dead animals i just accidentally
see something especially go, oh.
Especially like, fuck, I can't remember where I was.
I've blocked it out.
But it was like in the city.
It was just me going about my day.
And I saw like a dead possum in the city.
When you're out, if you're like driving into the country,
you sort of accept that that's part of the deal.
You're driving along the highway.
You're going to see some roadkill.
I think you're a bit more mentally braced for it.
Yes.
But just seeing this dead possum in the gutter in the CBD, it was like, oh, this isn't part of the deal.
Someone should have come and fucking gotten rid of this.
If you'd seen a dead accountant, fine.
You're ready for that stuff in the gutter.
But not a possum.
No.
You've made it all the way to the big city and just couldn't survive.
Yeah, it's true.
Like me when I was 17, you know.
Dead in a gutter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
First day out of Maribor, no, he couldn't make it.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I'm going to try and watch that doco.
I hope I can watch it easily enough.
My VPN just expired.
Yes, and to confirm, soccer re-debut.
Oh, yes, of course.
So I've been told.
This weekend.
I'll be on the bench, I think, in the reserves.
Yep.
Early kickoff, 1pm kickoff at Dalesford Soccer Ground, whatever it is.
So you need to get in there and you need to manufacture a way of getting yourself actually
on the field.
Go down there with some laxatives and slip them into the drinks of some of the people
on the team.
No, I'm fine coming off the bench. Okay. I'm fine. on the field go down there with some laxatives and uh you know slip them into the drinks i'm
fine coming off the bench i'm i'm fine i've just i've just done a training session then and i'm
you know i'm not i'm not i'm not i didn't walk out of it going get me in coach okay all right
fucking i should be starting this thing yeah yeah um so yeah it's gonna be i'm running around with
the ball every day i'm i'll be getting closer But at this point, as I'm recording, Tuesday morning,
I wouldn't be saying put money on me being red hot on Sunday.
Okay, and Sportsbet do have this one.
Yes.
You can bet on the hottest 100.
And now you can bet on Tandem.
Open mic soccer.
For a podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm trying.
I'm trying to hook in some friends to practice with me later in the week.
Yep.
Give me a bit of some form of match practice.
But yeah, we'll see.
We'll see how this is going to go.
All right.
Exciting stuff.
Well, I guess we've got to get into the most important.
That's all well and good, this soccer match.
But what people are really here to hear.
That's kind of sort of encroaching on the territory of the little dum-dum club there.
Sorry to those boys.
I guess in hindsight what I'm thinking of, you know, of encroaching on the territory of the little dum-dum club there. Sorry to those boys for stealing their content.
I guess in hindsight, what I'm thinking of, you know, I remember being very confident
back in the day playing, but 20 years later, you know, now I'm sort of sitting there thinking,
well, a lot's changed.
I might be playing against people with two arms.
Yes.
So all of a sudden it's a little bit, you know, things have, a lot of, you know, things
really progress in 20 years.
Yeah.
You start playing people with all of their facilities.
Yep.
Faculties. It's 2021. Yeah. Two armed people people with all of their facilities, faculties.
It's 2021.
Two-armed people can play now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, yes, we have to get into this.
You can support the show on Patreon, patreon.com slash little dum-dum club,
and you can get yourself a bonus episode, two bonus episodes, I should say,
every week with special guests, and they've been a lot of fun.
So get on and check that out.
And most importantly, if you head to patreon.com
slash little dum-dum club
and put in some money,
you go into the draw
to have your name read out
on Talking Dum-Dum
via the unplanned title alternator,
which spits out a different number of names every week.
That's it.
Completely at random
to keep things fair in here.
That's it.
It has made the move over here.
You told me before the show
the Bell Gibson cookbook has not made the move yet. No. You've got a million fair in here. That's it. It has made the move over here. You told me before the show the Bell Gibson cookbook
has not made the move yet.
No.
You've got a million comic books here,
but somehow that's all more important than the cure to cancer.
Exactly.
Which is, you're coming off as pretty cocky at the moment.
Yep.
The cancer's gone away forever and you don't need...
Well, it's double jeopardy rules.
Right.
You can't go away for the same crime twice.
Right.
Okay.
That would be great.
You get it again and you just say to the doctor,
there must be some mistake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Check my records.
I think you'll find I've had it when I was 10 years old.
Yeah.
I couldn't possibly...
It's double jeopardy.
Then he's like, no, this is the jeopardy.
What is a dumb cunt that thinks they can't get cancer again?
What is Tommy Dasol?
Oh, no, I've been holding my mobile phone against my balls.
I've had the microwave door open.
You've been bumming a microwave.
Yep.
But what you have moved over here is the unplanned title,
which is very handy.
But I would like to see what's left in the Masturbatorium 1.0,
if that's still there.
What else is still left there?
Yeah, so there's like maybe three boxes of books and stuff.
There's my drum kit and my microwave.
And that's it.
Right.
So I've got to go over and do a last little trip.
So that cancels – the Bell Gibson cookbook is over there,
but the microwave's not here either,
meaning you can't get cancelled from that.
Yes.
So you don't need the...
If they're both in the same house,
they kind of negate each other.
Yeah, right.
Okay, that's smart.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to look out for the next person
to live in that apartment.
Right, right, right.
Okay, well, let's kick this thing off.
Let's read out some names.
Thank you to everyone who contributes to patreon.com slash little dum-dum club.
Keeps the lights on in here.
Keeps the microwave at Tommy's second house.
Yep.
What if I just never gave notice?
Yeah.
Just hang on to it.
Yeah, that's my holiday house.
Yep.
Two kilometres away.
It's got a pool.
Yep.
It's not the dumbest idea in the world.
It's not the worst idea in the world.
Yeah.
My summer house.
You know, you can move in there when Comedy Festival's on
because it is a little bit closer to the city.
Well, friend of the show, Marty Sheargold,
his actual house is a bit out of the city
and he's doing Triple M radio now.
Yes.
And he's rented an apartment in the CBD
to be closer to that radio job. Yeah. So I just do the same thing for the podcast. Yes. It's rented A department In the CBD Yes To be closer To that radio job
Yeah
So I just do
The same thing
For the podcast
Yes
It's closer to
Carl's house
Yeah
I can go swimming
After we record
Yes
Makes a lot of sense
To just be paying
Two lots of rent
Yeah
Two kilometres
Closer to the city
Where we do
Live podcasts
Yeah
Probably about
Seven times a year
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I think it is
It's not far off
Being just basically The same distance From the city as my current house.
Yeah, yeah.
You're probably right, actually.
All right, let's crack on.
Thank you very much to everyone who subscribes, particularly this week, to these people that have never had their names read out, probably.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Luke Edwards.
What's your initial vibe off this guy?
Two first names?
Yeah.
Never great?
Well...
Is it?
How many people have you ever met with the first name Edwards?
Edwards Scissorhands.
That is a good first name, actually.
Refreshing first names by making them plural is quite good.
Well, you know, if you had multiple of them, so like in the way that you say, like, attorneys general.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I mean, can you, like, for people that identify as them, can you now go the next level and just make multiple of your own first name?
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can you do that?
I think that would be cool.
Yeah.
So what you're saying, you decide that, or you, yeah, you realize that you've been non-binary
for your whole life and you don't want to have the he, him pronoun.
So then it's like your name is Carl's.
No.
It's they slash Carl's.
I think there's too much thought put into that.
I think it's more someone hearing about people identifying as them and just not understanding it completely.
Not quite getting it.
And then going, oh, so we can just be plural now.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I want to be very 2021.
I'll be.
I'm Tommy's.
My name's Edwards.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I identify as them.
Yeah.
I identify as multiple people with the same name.
It's funny to imagine because, yeah, there's plenty of boomers out there
who don't get the non-binary and the pronoun thing.
I'm like, I don't fucking understand this.
But then the next step being, but I want to get in on it.
So it's like I've got no idea how it works, but not even in a negative way.
I'm going along with it.
In fact, I'm one of them, whatever that is.
Yes, exactly.
That I'm not bothering to educate myself on, but I'm right in there.
One of these people that, you know, is trying the dance moves for their grandkids or whatever.
Yeah.
You know, oh, I can do the, I can't even remember the name.
A dab.
The dab.
Yeah.
Doing the dab now.
One of these ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Doing a dab and now I'm identifying as them.
Just so the grandkids think I'm cool.
The idea that they're linked.
Oh, no, I dabbed and now I'm non-binary.
Yeah, that would be great.
Just some old person on Instagram in their bio.
It's like, you know, he slash what.
Just not.
I want to be referred to as a what.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm confused about what gender I am and I want everyone else to be as a what. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want, I'm confused about what gender I am
and I want everyone else to be confused about what gender I am.
And I want them to vocalise that confusion.
Yes.
So it's not they, them, it's what.
Yeah.
What slash who.
Yes.
What slash the fuck.
Edwards.
What am I?
Yeah.
Great question.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Edwards. Edwards. What am I? Yeah. Great question. Your guess is as good as mine. Edwards.
Edwards.
Yeah, multiple Edward.
I hope Luke is actually non-binary.
That would be a beautiful bit of a...
I hope he's accidentally spelled his name wrong.
His name's actually Luke's Edwards.
Yes, Luke's Edward.
Luke's Edwards.
Luke apostrophe S is Edwards.
Oh, yeah.
Well, what if you did that
so you
you're them
you identify as a
as a multiple
and then you fuck it up
even badly
even worse by having like
a
apostrophe in there
that doesn't need to be there
right
you know all those people
where they just whack it in there
just in case
it's like
no no you don't need it
when it's just a multiple
of a noun
yes yes yes
so I'm identifying
so my name's Edwards and then you've got the apost in there.
It's like, you couldn't have fucked this harder.
That would be great.
That would be a great way of pranking your kid.
On the birth certificate, you put the apostrophe in there.
Yeah.
It's just in the wrong spot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So for the rest of their life, they're having it.
But people do have that.
Actually.
People do have that.
There might even be a listener out there that's had their name misspelt on their birth certificate.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there's people out there that have some real...
People that...
Dads that are too dumb to pull out or spell a name.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
They go hand in hand.
Yeah.
Well, thanks, Luke's.
Thanks, Luke's.
Edward Z's.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Laura Potts.
Ah, the Potts and Pans. Yeah. Ah, the Potts and Pans.
Yeah.
Laura on the Potts and Pans.
Mm-hmm.
Very, what do you get?
What sort of imagery do you get with a name like Laura Potts?
Well, I've met Laura Potts.
Oh, do you know Laura Potts?
Oh, okay.
Oh, well, don't spoil it for me.
Yeah.
Because my initial thought is someone shorter, maybe with a bob haircut.
That's what Laura Potts says.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're not too far off.
Really?
Yeah.
Do you know Laura Potts?
I've met her.
She came up to me when I was at a gig, it was before the gig and I was eating dinner by myself.
And she came over and started bullying me about wearing an Apple Watch.
Oh, right.
And she's like, oh, you're trying to look cool.
I'm like, I'm just trying to read the time, honestly.
And then that interaction kind of went around in circles for a bit.
And then I think she was having a crack at me for eating by myself.
And I was like, yeah, it's before the gig.
I've just come here early to get some dinner.
Okay.
Before the gig.
And then she was going in to see, this was at a venue that had like comedy in one room
and then a band in another room.
Right.
So she's like, oh, I'm a listener of the pod.
And I'm like, oh, were you here to see the comedy?
She's like, no, I'm here to see the Smith Street band who are in the next room right it's like okay cool right yeah
right and then she's stuck in my head because now every time she she comes to live shows she'll make
a point of coming up to me and going yeah how's your fucking cool apple watch going
so now you can see why she's sheared in my memory. Right, right.
So she's your high school bully these days.
A short girl with a bob and a bad fucking attitude.
Right.
You got two out of three.
Right, okay.
Well, next time I'll look after you.
You tell me when she's at a live show and I'll cut her off at the pass.
Yeah, I don't know if I'd say short.
I guess she'd be average height, I suppose. pass. Yeah, I don't know if I'd say short. I guess she'd be average
height, I suppose. Okay. Yeah.
And bob
haircut?
I've got this all wrong.
Maybe. That's what that
name says to me. Yeah.
I mean, that's... I can
afford to have this fanciful idea of what
it sounds like, whereas you're traumatised.
I can't remember. Yeah, i can't remember if i'm actually remembering seeing a bob haircut or if the
strength of the name right is is doing so much to implant that it's hard for you to think because
you your chest got all tightened and you're starting you're sweating sweating yeah yeah
it's taking me back there i'm currently in the fetal position Rocking back and forth
Yes
But I'll tell you what's not on my wrist
What?
Oh!
She's done it
It's worked
Really?
No
It's just fucking always out of battery
Because it's an Apple product
That I've had for like five years now
So it's really handy for a watch
To get about two hours of charge out of it
It's really good for going about your day
Really, really handy stuff.
Right, okay.
That's good.
I've had to turn off basically all the functionality of it
to even get that much battery out of it.
Right, okay.
That's a good ad.
Yeah.
For your own Apple Watch.
Well, it's a good ad for fucking buying every new one that comes out
so that you can, you know.
Use it.
If you want to be in the Apple ecosystem,
you've got to be prepared to be.
You've got to be watching those press conferences with an eagle eye.
Because you know you're going to have to buy all that stuff.
Because the stuff that you have is about to be completely fucked by a new software update.
You've got to get ready to say how high.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, please.
Yes.
Please can I have this new iPad?
Yeah.
No, don't update the iOS on my old one.
Now it's not running properly.
Did you see that they did?
We talked about Apple months ago and they actually did what we predicted.
I reckon so long ago.
I reckon that chat might have been pre-pandemic.
The old coloured back, like the original kind of, like we had at school. I think anyone of my age, if you had a school computer, the, coloured back. Yes. Like, the original kind of... Like, we had at school.
Like, I think anyone of my age, if you had a school computer... The coloured...
What we're talking about is the coloured iMac.
iMacs.
The big round back one.
Yeah.
And, yeah, they brought them back.
Yeah.
Pretty recently.
The first computer I ever bought myself.
What colour?
You would have gone with blue, I reckon.
Pretty standard stuff.
Play it safe.
Did I have blue? I think I might have. You're not getting out there with an orange back. I reckon. Pretty standard stuff. Play it safe. Did I have blue?
I think I might have.
You're not getting out there with an orange back.
I didn't get the orange.
What could you get?
I think blue was kind of the standard one.
Blue, purple, orange.
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
I feel like this is the exact conversation we had when we were talking about it.
I think I got blue because the other thing was I bought it in Ballarat from some small store where they didn't have the whole range.
They're not lashing out.
They didn't have the whole range.
But blue's good.
Blue's pretty tasteful.
You know, kind of blends in.
Purple was a bit strong.
I was trying to think.
Purple, orange.
They're two like, you've got to really be someone who's like, I love that color and everything else on my desk is that color.
And it was like, it was portable.
Yeah, it had the big handle on it.
But you didn't really want to make it portable.
No.
Like, it was fucking pretty heavy.
Yeah.
Like, where are you bringing it?
Well, it's nice to have the option, I think, was their thinking.
Because it was all in, it was just that and then the keyboard and mouse.
Yes.
Right?
Yes.
So it wasn't like a screen and a unit.
So I guess they're thinking like, well, you know, if people want to, it is pretty easy to.
Yes.
You're not having to chuck, you know, four separate things in the car.
It was amazing.
It was amazing to have.
But they're back.
They're back, baby.
Yeah.
Proof that someone in it, proof that Tim Cook listens to this every week.
Yes.
And look, proof that Steve Jobs maybe should have listened to this every week
and got a copy of The Whole Pantry by Bell Gibson.
Tell you what, a good eggplant parmigiana with cauliflower cheese
would have sorted that right out.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I swear I've told this before, but I was in LA the day Steve Jobs died.
I think I landed the day he died.
And then the next day I was in a mall
and there was a big Apple store there
and like all these people had left tributes out the front.
And they brought out the new iMac with black.
Yeah.
Yeah, all of them just, all the colours changed on them.
Great.
It's like software update.
But yeah, people had left flowers and pictures and stuff
out the front of the Apple store.
It was like a pretty huge tribute.
And I was there near the end of the day as the stores were closing up.
And I just saw this janitor come across with a huge broom and just wipe all this shit out.
Just like comically.
It's like, where are you?
Where's this all going?
Like, where are you brushing these flowers and framed pictures to?
Classic Apple.
You know, so tomorrow there's a new update of new flowers.
You have to come back
and bring new flowers.
These flowers are obsolete.
Yeah.
They're already dead.
Classic them.
They're wilting,
they're running out of battery.
You've got to get the new one.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Well, thanks Pottsy.
Thanks Potto.
Potts Point.
Thanks Pottsarelli.
Thank you very much too,
Patreon subscriber.
Hmm.
Yeah, there's a lot going on with this one thank you
very much to raymond r-a-i-m-u-n-d fuck me raymond dyke okay d-y-k-e okay raymond dyke
tommy i mean this is brutal. Yeah.
In another world, Raymond is
spelt how you'd expect. Yeah.
And Dyke isn't spelt how you'd expect.
Yes. So there'd be no, you know, there'd be no
expectation of us. We could, ah,
let's talk about everybody loves Raymond for ten minutes.
There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in this world...
Everybody hates Raymond's spelling of his name.
Yeah, everyone hates Raymond.
Yeah.
Also, I feel like we could turn the mics off and do a 10 minutes easy on this name.
Oh, if we were just at the pub.
But on record.
If this was just at the pub, if we were like, you know, there was like a pool competition leaderboard.
Yeah.
And we saw this one on there.
That'd be the night done.
Yeah.
You'd be set.
But we don't want to get cancelled, you know.
Like, you know, we don't want our podcasting license taken away from us.
We don't want big podcasting to come along and just squash us like a bug.
Especially after the main ep where we were both so well behaved.
It'd be a shame for this to be the thing to bring us down.
I don't want them deregistering me from the Ballarat and Association District Soccer Society this weekend.
Association District Soccer Society this weekend.
Well, so dykes are like the thing that you use for… Sex if you're another lesbian.
That's what I was looking for, yeah.
Yeah, right.
No, they use them for like flooding.
Are they the big like…
No, it's like a wall.
A big wall.
That's what it is, right?
Yes.
So I remember being in New York and I went to a taping of Letterman.
Oh, hang on.
I thought this was going to be another LA story where I saw this big lesbian die.
I was at Big Tribute out the front of Bunnings.
There we go.
There we go.
No, I went to see a taping of Letterman, you know, and you've done that.
And you go in and you go, the great man.
Got to make this pilgrimage.
Yep.
Working comedy.
Yep.
Who is there that does comedy that doesn't think of Letterman as something of an idol?
In that generation, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So go in and I think, oh, fuck, I'm so excited.
You know, see how it's all done.
See the great man operating.
And he comes out for his monologue and there had been a lot of storms
and I believe flooding in New York at the time.
And he goes, there's been a lot of talk.
Hang on, hang on.
Don't beat me and him.
So he comes out and he's like, yeah, a lot of flooding,
a lot of flooding in New York at the moment.
And there's been a lot of talk.
There's been a lot of talk about how we need to get the dikes yeah they need to get the dikes in to stop
the flooding yeah and all i'm hearing all i'm hearing is people say that we need to put the
dikes in yeah into new york to stop this yes dave we need to bring yes i'm paul i'm hearing it
everywhere i'm paul i'm hearing it everywhere we need to put the Dykes into New York. And, you know, I'm here saying, well, don't worry about that.
We've got Dykes in New York.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, I watched the show back on the telecast that night.
That monologue joke didn't make the cut.
But honestly, I think I've underplayed the run-up that he took to that one.
And you go in and you go, the great man.
And then you're watching that and it's like, oof.
And also, just as a joke, it's like, oh, plenty of dykes in New York.
And it's like, is New York renowned for that?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's a big city with a big population, like statistically sure.
New York, the big gay apple.
You know?
New York, New York, The town's so nice.
Gay ladies. You licked a pussy twice.
Licked them out twice.
Licked each other out twice.
Very weird sort of idea to think of New York as any different from any other town.
But I think going to a taping like that of someone that you...
San Francisco maybe.
Yeah.
But New York, I don't know.
Well, he can only work with the location that he's in, you know? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. But New York, I don't know. Well, he can only work with the location that he's in, you know.
Ah, okay.
But it really was a, it's that thing that's like, it's good to see, you know, someone
that you really think is great.
Yeah.
You know, and watch a recording of that.
And you sort of realise that it's, you know, it's the fish that John West reject.
You know what I mean?
Right.
It's the stuff that doesn't make the cut.
Yes.
That makes him as good as the stuff that does make the cut.
Well, look, to be fair, maybe it's a bit like there are stories about Letterman's treatment of his writers and staff and whatever.
You read interviews with his writers and, oh, he never came and saw us.
He never spoke to us.
I worked there for three years, never talked to him.
Well, to be fair, if they're writing gags like that,
maybe it's not worth a trip down to the writer's office.
I almost get the impression that it's maybe the other way around.
That's a Dave original.
That one wasn't on the autocue.
That was just him.
That was him doing a bit of a riff up the very top.
The writer's in the writer's room going,
can't please.
I'd be surprised.
I think he was not putting too much effort in terms of written jokes at that time.
Yeah.
This was pretty, yeah, this was sort of near the end of his tenure, I guess.
Yeah.
Relatively so.
Yeah.
But thanks, Raymond Dyke.
Yeah.
Yeah, thanks very much, Raimondo Dyke.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, thanks very much.
Raimondo.
Dyke.
Oh, well, finally.
I feel like it would be a miss for us not to guess his nickname.
Do you reckon, what would he have copped?
Oh.
A lot of people just finding out and going, can I put my finger in you?
Surely.
Yep. Because, you know, the old story, the boy with his finger in the dyke.
Yep, yep, yep. So surely there's a lot of that. I mean, that's a big risk, though, if you do that and they haven't know the old story the boy with his finger in the dark yep yep yep
so surely there's a lot of that
I mean that's a big risk though
if you do that
and they haven't heard
that old story
it's like what
yeah yeah yeah
and especially it's like
how many times have you
heard a little boy finger
yeah
and what this is meant
to be a nickname
can I finger you
yeah yeah
old baby finger
yep
yeah
dykey
Ray
big Ray thanks Big Ray.
Thanks, Raybo.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Belinda Drew.
Oh, okay.
Belinda Drew.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just like you.
You draw.
Yes.
And then once that moment's gone.
Once it's done.
Guess what?
You've drawn.
Tommy Drew.
Tommy Drawn.
Or Tommy Drew.
Tommy Drew.
Okay.
No, because I would say I drew that.
I wouldn't go I drawn that.
Yeah, but I'm trying to think of what I would say.
You could still say Tommy Drew that.
Tommy Drew that?
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I could.
Yeah, Tommy Drew.
Tommy has drawn this.
That is a good note.
Like, if you would have just gone full time with your cartoons and stuff,
I mean, that is a good last name.
Is there a cartoonist with the last name Drew?
I mean, Nancy Drew really fucked that up from being a fucking yeah yeah meddling yeah what's the uh well yeah what's the artist with the best um surname for what they do and
it can't be they've changed their name you know what i mean right so someone with the surname
painter and then they're a famous painter for example yeah are there any examples of that in
the world a musician that's you know got the got the last
name you know like tempo or something like that yeah yeah there must be people people know there
must be that'd be a good that's a good list but that's that's the thing sometimes when you see
those names you go okay tommy drew and he's a cartoonist did you change your name or did you
your whole life just get beat down by people going, you should draw with a name like that?
Yeah.
Fucking okay.
That's a good interview series.
Yeah.
You just track down people and it's like, you know, what was it?
Did that, this is nature versus nurture.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Were you beaten into that by your name or did you genuinely have an aptitude for it before you yes got into it i'm i'm sorry sorry if i'm a
tiny bit distracted while i'm talking to you uh tommy but what's happening at the moment is our
webmaster is transferring our website over okay and um and i'm getting a lot of messages where
he's doing it for us but it's all all the information is going to me and it's just
literally i'm getting emails from the new servers going,
oh, just give us the pin from this, and then an email from him
or a text from him going, can you give us the pin from this?
And I'm just the middleman between the server and our webmaster,
who is Joel, who lives up in…
Cairns, doesn't he?
Well, yeah, sure, yes, that way. Okay. Yes. Joel who lives up in Cairns doesn't he well yeah sure yes
that way
I met him when I was up there
lovely young man
who's very nice to be
if you go to our website
he did all that for us
we sort of update it
but he was
very nice enough to listen to the show
and offer his services.
And we've said, thank you.
Yep.
And then now he's transferring us across to another server because he got sick of hosting us.
Yes, absolutely.
He emailed us.
He's like, how would you boys feel if I shut this down?
And we're like, neither of us know enough about how all that really works to be like,
I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing or not.
You tell us whatever's easiest.
Yes, we don't know the answer to anything.
So you tell us the answer and then we'll agree with it
because there's no other option.
Yeah.
Yeah, but hey, look, go and check out our website.
Go and see his fine work over there.
That's where you find all the merch and tickets and whatever.
Yeah, go and see what's left in the merch at the moment.
But Belinda Drew, Belinda Webmaster,
as she'd be known if she was doing this job for us.
Yes.
Belinda, well, Belinda Draw, she used to be known at the time,
but now it's Belinda Drew.
But Tommy Drew, that'd be a great name for you if you were doing...
Tommy Drew.
Yeah, because it's a snappy name as well.
Yeah, it is good.
Yeah.
It is good.
Maybe you can make up a new, another fake name.
Yeah.
So you've got Tommy Dastley for comedy and Tommy Drew for your cartoons.
Tommy Drew for art.
Yeah.
Tommy Brush for when I do paintings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Tommy Anal for when you...
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Tommy Spoof.
Yeah.
Right.
Have I ever talked about when I was in high school and i was a i was around a kid
who was a year above me which at that age is like that may as well be a decade and i used the term
i was talking to a friend and i used the term spoof and this kid overheard me and he went did
you just call it spoof and then just started like roasting the absolute shit out of me and he went, did you just call it spoof? And then just started like roasting the absolute shit out of me.
And I was like, oh, I guess that's like the bad thing to call it.
And then over time it's come back.
The world has caught up.
Yes.
And I like to think that that man remembers that interaction as vividly as I do.
Right.
And thinks back and is like, wow, I really got it wrong that day.
But that's just classic fashion.
I've got to track this kid down and let him know I'm sorry.
Something goes out of date. No one says anything. But that's just classic fashion. I've got to track this kid down and let him know I'm sorry. Something goes out of date.
No one says anything.
No one uses it for ages.
And all of a sudden someone goes, remember when we used to call it this?
Oh, yeah, that's the funniest thing in the world.
Yes, exactly.
And now it's absolutely back.
Yeah, yeah.
But I wonder if he sees it chucked around online and goes, yeah.
I thought I told these people.
No, yeah, he's still out there just bullying people who use it.
Yeah, right, right.
Commenting on stuff, people he doesn't know.
Cool, it's sprog like an adult.
Yeah, yeah.
But he's now like gone, fuck, I really fucked this one up.
And now he's using it seriously.
Yes.
Like he's making love to his partner and going,
oh, how would you like it if I did a big spoof right now?
And the girl going, what the fuck?
And just laughing.
Yep.
Yep.
All right.
Well, thanks.
Thanks, Belinda Drew.
All right.
We've got one left.
Look, I can't concentrate while I'm getting these nonstop messages, I'll be honest with you.
So let's just, I've got to bloody concentrate on this one.
Our website's going to go down.
So let's just, I've got to bloody concentrate on this one. Our website's going to go down. So let's just do one more.
Oh, Jesus.
It's absolutely nonstop.
Wow.
Is he currently doing littledumbdumbclub.com slash Silk Road?
Oh!
That'd be good.
We need to have like a little dark web section of our website.
Oh, yeah.
That's a way to drive up the traffic.
I wonder if we can do that.
Come for the child pornography.
Stay for the funny content.
Fucking hell.
It's still going.
This is fucking going nonstop.
Jesus Christ.
Okay.
Fucking hell.
Well, let's just do one more then.
Yeah, yeah.
One more name.
I have to do one more.
But look, that's a great idea.
What we can do.
What about this?
We don't have a link to it on the site. But look, that's a great idea. What we can do, what about this?
We don't have a link to it on the site and we go... Secret URL.
Yes.
But if you can guess it...
Exactly.
There's like a little bonus section.
So it's a littledominantclub.com slash and then you have to guess it.
Right.
That's a great idea.
First person to find it gets some sort of prize.
Maybe there's a link to a prize on it.
Okay.
That's good. Yeah. a prize on it. Okay.
That's good.
Let's do this.
And I can't wait to get all the codes updating me to pull it on once we make any fucking change.
It looks like Joel's already doing a lot of work.
It's like, can you do this one extra thing for us?
Okay, let's do one more.
Yeah.
One more.
Okay, thank you very much to patrons. Oh, okay.
Wow.
What?
Oh, no.
It's just sort of weird.
Like sometimes you read a name and it'll be a little bit similar to a previous name.
But this is rare.
This is similar to two names that we've...
Well, it's similar to one name twice.
Is this what it's like to be getting all those updates at the moment?
This is incredibly tedious.
This is similar to a name we've just read out, but like a combination of the person's name.
So, remember when we had the...
I don't know if you remember back, but we had something called Raymond Dyke? Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So, remember when we had the, I don't know if you remember back,
but we had someone called Raymond Dyke?
Sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, well.
It's a combination of that and that.
This sort of reminds me a little bit of that.
Just, I don't need to be braced.
Just read the name.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber
Gaimand Comedy.
Gaimand Comedy.
Yeah.
Right.
Isn't that weird?
Right.
