Hey mates, welcome once again into the Little Dumb Dumb Club for another week Thank you very much for joining us, my name is Tommy Daslo
And with me as always the other half of the program, Carl Chandler
G'day DK
Joining us today we have two very special guests
Please welcome into the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Ben Lomas and Ben Kappa
Comedy
Yes Oh we're back, finally Ben Lomas and Nick Capper. Comedy.
Yes.
Oh, we're back.
Finally.
Who said comedy was dead?
Big comedy fans who are on social media,
they would have seen this news this week.
Huge.
Health-related issue relating to a comedian, friend of the show.
So, of course, that's why we've pulled this episode together.
Nick Capper, where were you when you found out that Danny McGinley has COVID?
Oh no, you're going to reveal that Lomas has got gout.
Sorry.
Oh man, I wish it was just gout.
Do anything for gout right now.
Gout would be sweet.
Gout would be awesome.
We do have two guests here that have both
had major health concerns. And we thought, this would be awesome. We do have two guests here that have both had major health concerns.
And we thought, this will be funny.
Let's get it together.
They're both close to death to some degree.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Actually, I don't know what you're talking about.
I'll be fine.
What about you, Kev?
Man, the weather's been bad.
I'll tell you what.
Fucking cold days in Melbourne.
Yesterday I was wearing shorts, you know.
Hey, fever fever that's been
playing up. A lot of pollen
in the air. Keeps sneezing.
Who would have thought COVID would be the least of our
troubles?
Such a fuck around.
To be fair, we couldn't get Danny on to talk about COVID
with him.
Have you got the all clear
yet, by the way?
I need to get tested.
In fact so
Yeah this is just to deviate quickly
Before we get into
These two guys
And their health issues
So yeah Danny
Danny McGinley has COVID
Yes
He didn't know
When
How long he had had it for
So we had to go and get tested
Because he had been on this show
In this room
About a week before
I believe he got it
From trying to bring his kid to the pub
It's like It's sort of affiliated with karma It's believe he got it from trying to bring his kid to the pub.
It's sort of affiliated with karma.
It's like he got it off the back of his head. Well, he went around all the different pubs in his area that day
trying to find a place that would let him have his kid in there.
Yeah, the pub was the only place that was clear of COVID.
Yes.
And he wasn't allowed in there, so he got it.
Yeah.
So –
That's where they were hoarding all the backs.
So how did you find out?
He called you and told you to go and get tested?
Yes.
You know how I found out?
Through you.
Yes.
Not a direct message from the person who actually has the COVID
who should be passing it on.
A very Danny McGinley move to just relay that information
to the person who books him for gigs.
I will say he was copying a lot of calls and I said,
I'll pass them to Tommy for you.
Right.
And then how long did you wait?
Immediately.
Okay.
This is great and all, but what the fuck's the result?
I don't give a shit.
To be fair, immediately, because then you're like,
I'll go get a Tesla.
I'm like, cool, you go and do that and then I guess I'll find out
from your result.
Yeah, very nice.
Very nice.
Yeah, thanks for discussing this in front of Lomas and I.
We don't have enough on our plate.
This is a bit of a lighter subject matter
before we get into your fucking death rattles.
Yeah, this is the last time you're going to have fun
after you find out that this room is a tier one exposure site
because Carl's been out every night running gigs
and has surely contracted it at this point.
You better not have fucking got it.
You hear me, you piece of shit?
Didn't you bring a test today?
Yes, I do.
I have.
But I've got a test, so we're going to test you right now.
Oh, wow.
But I'm in two minds about this, okay?
Why is the box handwritten?
Right.
So I do have a test for Carl, but the thing about it is if you test positive.
I've got to close my eyes and the thing about it is if you test positive
I've got to close my eyes
and then you put it in my mouth
I get it
yeah
bend over
no the problem is
if you get tested
it's not the fact that
now this becomes a tier one site
and we've all got COVID
but then it fucks me
for the next two weeks
because then I can't work
because you've given me COVID
sorry hang on
hang on
what work is when you get back me covid sorry hang on what work is
hang on yeah yeah what's this work thing so but you said you've already been tested or you have
not been tested okay and the and the results were positive that's why i'm here damn it this is the
worst podcast ever hang on do you get the crisis payment if you've got COVID?
That's all I want to know.
Oh, but fuck's sake. You ought to be a professional COVID getter.
Yeah, they've cut me back to 400 now.
I'm fucking starving.
How about this?
If this becomes a dear one's side,
I'm losing money and you're making money.
How am I the immediate guy that definitely has it? Like, what are the rest of you guys around about? You could have it. Why am I the immediate guy that definitely has it?
Like, what are the rest of you guys
writing about?
You could have it.
Why am I the guy?
What are you talking about?
You run comedy rooms.
Yeah, you've been to comedy gigs
after telling me you weren't
going to do comedy.
I've never done stand-up.
Lomas, we know that comedy attracts
the healthiest people.
They don't waddle in there
huffing and puffing.
Fresh from their wellness retreats.
We're all fit.
In fact, Kappa's recently lost weight.
We'll get to that.
I love it how we're dancing all around.
The hell that we've gone through.
Are you going to do this live on air?
Yeah, let's do it.
Am I doing it? Yeah, you're doing it. Just to make sure. How long does you going to do this test? Are you going to do this live on air? Yeah, let's do it. Am I doing it?
Yeah, you're doing it.
So just to make sure.
How long does it take to get the result?
So 15 minutes.
What a fucking moment this would be.
Carl testing positive live on the air.
This is some good evergreen stuff as well.
A listener.
New listener.
Keep talking, keep talking.
I'll set it up.
In two years, there'll be something worse than COVID.
It's fine.
They'll be able to relate it back to here
They're like
Oh remember when they laughed about COVID
Yeah
Or remember when Chandler
Found out he had COVID
And then he died four weeks later
Well this will be
This will be the new
Chandler strain
We'll be ripping through
Fucking parts of the world
In two years time
And people can look back
As the dawn of that
When it spreads to Thailand
In three weeks
Yeah
For sure
Yeah I've never
I haven't seen one of
these yet
I wanted to
I wanted
they're hard to get
aren't they
look are they hard to
buy
they're hard to open
apparently
now what you want is
just absolutely
finger that swab
before you give it
over to me
okay so what we've
got now we've got
the little nasal thing
that I'll be inserting
into Carl's anus
oh you're not gonna
do it are you
do I do it or do you do it?
No, no, I'm doing it to you.
That's how it works.
You can't.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm professionally trained, okay?
I've done the course on YouTube.
All right.
Just remember, I haven't booked you for any gigs yet.
Yes, but the idea of shoving this up your ass makes me so happy.
I'm actually really nervous.
This is really stressing me out.
Yeah, absolutely.
Imagine looking at it
and it comes up as positive
and then all our lives
are fucked for the next
quarter.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why
I don't want to do it.
You brought it.
Look, I think
we shouldn't do it.
Or should we do it?
No, I think you should do it.
Okay, we'll do it.
Yeah, you've got to
commit to the bit.
Even if the bit will ruin us all.
I mean, look, if it's positive,
we may as well just sit here and churn out a fucking 10-hour ep.
Yes, exactly.
We may as well just do episodes.
You guys may as well just move into my office.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is being on a wire.
You shouldn't do this to me.
Why can't I do it?
You can't do it. I'm a professional. No. Yeah, he's a professional. He's done the YouTube. He's watched the YouTube clip. No, this shouldn't do this to me. Why can't I do it? You can't do it.
I'm a professional.
No.
Yeah, he's a professional.
He's done the YouTube.
He's watched the YouTube clip.
No, this is not good.
No, don't.
Just let me do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.
Who hurt you?
Well, I know he's about to.
Fucking hell.
I don't see any time.
This is, I can me too you for this.
It's fine.
Just do it a little bit.
It's all right.
You can have a lollipop after this.
All the way up to that.
You've got to touch all the way up.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Don't push it.
Wing.
And then wiggle around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One, two, three.
I don't think he went in deep enough.
Do you know? I don't think he's gone deep enough. Do you know?
I don't think he's gone in deep enough.
I've gone deep.
I think you've got to go deeper.
Now, cut your balls.
Sorry.
No.
Next one.
Other one.
What?
You do two.
Two, two.
Here we go.
Why is my nostril different to the other one?
I'm thinking you didn't get a test last week if this is a shock to you.
Yeah.
No, but this is just what it is.
They're not putting it in,
but...
Yeah, but they're not doing it
for fucking 20 seconds
when they do it.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
You're just fucking freestyling.
This is not what you do.
What a white powder
on the end of that Q-tip.
What's going on there?
All right.
Now what do you do?
So what? now you stir it
Now you piss on it and you wait for the little lines to turn up
Yeah, I've got to see if my nose is pregnant
I've got to stir it
Squeeze it
Alright, okay
Alright, so you're letting it sit now for 15 minutes or something?
Is that what's happening?
God, we're nerds
Are we really recording an unboxing video of a rapid antigen test?
What happens now?
How much are these, by the way?
Can you talk into the mic, you fucking idiot?
What do you mean it depends?
What, do they have the bloody crazy Clarks one?
They've got one for kids that's got the Flintstones on it.
Talk about yourselves.
Let's talk about health issues.
All right, can you just let it sit there and we can talk about something else?
We're nearly there.
We're nearly there.
God.
I thought you said it takes 15 minutes.
Open that for me, please.
Yeah, okay.
What's this?
God, this is a real procedure.
It is a real procedure.
So you had to watch a whole YouTube video.
Yeah.
Okay.
It says positive.
Oh, thank you.
All right, so
Wow, so this is what it's like to find out kind of the opposite of pregnant
Like you're not going to see anyone new, you know
Yeah
Do we now, we just have to wait, right?
Or do you do other stuff?
Oh my God, it's disgusting
I'll keep you on mine
There we go
Can you fucking tell me Hello, yes? Or do you do other stuff? Oh, my God. It's disgusting. I'll keep you on mine. There we go. Can you fucking tell?
Hello, yes.
Jesus Christ.
Have I got three hands?
Yeah, well.
Do I have three hands?
To the actual thing we're trying to do, which is a podcast, you fucking idiot.
We came in with the best rolling start, you know?
There we go.
God.
Thank you.
Now, I'll just put it here.
This is a pro podcast, mate.
It's not like your one. This is a pro one. Hey, don't back down. People listen to this. Well, they're trying to listen to you. Now, I'll just put it here. This is a pro podcast, mate. It's not like your one.
This is a pro podcast.
Hey, don't back down.
People listen to this.
Well, they're trying to listen to you.
This is extreme podcasting.
This is like some real man on the wire shit.
This is the thing that you should sit there and we find out at the end of the episode
so we can talk about other stuff.
Lovely.
Here we go.
Can you do that?
This is modern jackass.
All right.
We're done.
All right.
I'm going to hide.
No, no, no.
Don't touch it. Leave it there. Leave it there. I'm gonna hide No no no Don't touch it
Leave it there
No no no
You can't touch it
Touch it
Cause you could wreck the reading
You can't move it once you've done it
So you have to leave it there
That's another thing you've made up
Alright
Now it just sits there
Oh Carl's like
Shaking it around
Turning it upside down
It's like he's scared
No no
Stop Carl
Stop doing that
I'm covering it
He's trying to throw it out the window
Let's concentrate on the episode
Okay
Here we go I don't want any distractions Right It's like a Polaroid It's like a myth Stop doing that. I'm covering it. He's trying to throw it out the window. Let's concentrate on the episode. Okay.
Here we go.
I don't want any distractions.
Right.
It's like a Polaroid.
It's like a myth that you have to shake it a lot to develop it quicker.
It actually ruins it.
Steals your soul.
It overexposes it. This is something we can look forward to at the end.
Okay.
Now we can concentrate on other things.
And maybe for one of these minutes on this podcast,
Lomas can get back on mic.
I'm on mic.
He's doing the Lord's work.
Yeah, I'm doing the Lord's work.
Giving you the all clear.
You've got to go work after this.
Yes, I do.
So, again, there's a lot riding on this.
Hence, I'd rather be in denial than I know what these results are.
Let's say it's positive and then we all just have to isolate in this room for two weeks.
How long before we're in a four-way fucking royal,
either punching each other out
or in just an orgy?
How many days do you reckon we lost?
What about if it was just a three-way
and one person just wasn't asked?
I'm not...
Yeah.
So, you know, I've got the PC here.
We have Netflix and everything on there.
We've got stuff to watch
We'll be set for entertainment
For a little bit
That'll get us through
Maybe today
We put on a movie
No we'd watch
All our favourite movies
So what would
Your favourite movie
If we're stuck in here
1989 Batman
Okay
This is going to be
A long two weeks
Michael Keaton Batman
Is your favourite movie
Michael Keaton Batman
Really
Your favourite movie
First movie I saw in a cinema
And it never got topped
Well it got topped?
Well it got topped for a few It was Robocop 2 when I was a kid
But then I saw it again
I saw it again in my late teens
Robocop 2 I love it
Is it up there with Godfather 2 as the greatest sequel?
Well yeah I mean
Obviously as I got older, I got better taste.
I actually like Robocop 1 better.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Robocop 2 sucks.
It's terrible.
I've watched any of them.
I haven't watched anything.
I'd be keen to watch that
because I've never watched Robocop.
Oh, you've got to watch it.
Oh, well, now I'm barricading
for me to have that.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, Cap has two picks.
So we get two picks each
for our isolation film festival.
Lomas, what have you got?
First one would be Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Yep., what have you got? First one would
be Ace Ventura
Pet Detective.
Great pick.
Second would be
Police Academy 5.
They're off to
Miami.
I've never seen
it.
I've never seen
that one.
That'd be fun.
So good.
I've seen that
one.
I saw it on
Miami Beach.
What about
you, Carl?
Your two picks.
My two picks.
You're designing
them for this
situation where
we're all watching
them, I'm assuming.
I think it's like we're bringing our two favourites to the table.
So we're all in there together.
If we do Ace Ventura, can I keep rewinding the bit
where he finds out that it's a man?
Yeah.
That maybe is not Ace well.
But I'm just going to keep rewinding it.
As soon as it came out of my mouth, I'm like, I'll do it.
I know your two picks.
It's Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, just for that bit,
and the new Chappelle special.
Is that right?
You kept laughing about it before we wrote the podcast.
You were like, I just watched it again, guys.
What if you brought in your VHS copy of it,
and it's just blurred, that bit, from just overuse, overwatching.
But it's like the Finkler just overuse over watching like it over and over but it's like
the Finkler's Einhorn
t-shirt on
but do you remember
that was the case
with Basic Instinct
do you remember
Basic Instinct
that bit
you'd hire it
and go
oh here it comes
and it's blurry
blurry blurry
it was the VHS days
yeah
so hang on
so what are your two
oh god
I don't know
because now I'm trying to think of something that would...
It's a crowd pleaser.
You want something a bit fun.
You're not running a gig here.
Cap has got us covered with some kind of like camp,
like late 80s, early 90s action.
Low Mass has brought the comedies.
So maybe think about like a little gap in the schedule.
Billy Madison.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
Great.
Billy Madison.
Have a good time.
The big two. Two big Adam Sandler. Great. I would have not picked that Billy Madison. Yep. Oh, yeah, great. Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore. The big two.
Two big Adam Sandler's.
Great, great.
I would have not picked that from you.
Yeah.
Easy.
That would be fun.
Recently went back to Happy Gilmore.
Loved it.
Held up.
So good.
Anyway, my two, Requiem for a Dream and Ken Park.
Great.
Just to mix up the mood.
We've got too many comedies in the mix.
We've got some actions.
Drama hasn't really been represented at all.
You're right.
Am I too late to change mine to Gummo and the other one that I did?
What was it?
The one where all the kids rooted each other and got AIDS in the end?
Kids?
Kids, yeah.
What's that film called?
The one with the kids.
I haven't seen that one.
Well, there you go.
Actually, we're going to do a film festival now.
Yeah, this is pretty good.
Screening Tommy's pics in the day.
Started off good.
All right, breakfast.
Let's get back to the news at hand.
You two have been poorly to some degree.
We're very.
In the last, what, three, two, three months?
Yeah.
Who wants to go first? Me for. Which one three months? Yeah. Who wants to go first?
Me for.
Which one of you shit motherfuckers wants to go first?
Well, I'll go first.
Yeah, because I don't know what yours is.
Let's go chronological.
I think yours was probably first, Lomas.
So it's been hard, but having a 10-inch penis.
I thought you were in the hospital.
You got three inches taken off
I wish mine was only that big
Yeah when I went in there like
are you the elephant man comedian?
So
with me
I actually talked about it on the pod
four years ago on this pod
with Ballard
I had a little lump in my neck
and I got it tested
because I didn't know what it was had a biopsy it was fine That's weird because Ballard in the same episode had a little lump in my neck. Yeah. And I got it tested because I didn't know what it was.
I had a biopsy.
It was fine.
That's weird because Ballard in the same episode had a big lump just below his chest.
And he didn't get that test.
Oh, fuck.
Jesus.
Jesus Christ.
So, long story short.
And this was when you were really worried that it was bad.
Yeah.
That it was going to be bad.
So, was this true? You were eating a lot because you figured, well, I'm going to have cancer and be on chemo that it was going to be bad. So was this true?
You were eating a lot because you figured,
well, I'm going to have cancer and be on chemo
and I'm going to drop this.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
One of my million and one excuses.
Plenty more than that.
I found a bit of cancer, Wayne.
You never know.
I mean, two, me and the growth.
Are you training for a marathon?
I'm training for cancer.
Just watch the Lance Armstrong documentary, Time to Eat.
Are you tapering?
So am I at KFC.
So I had a lot of scans and stuff,
and then I found that I had a lymph node in my groin,
which was quite inflamed, quite large.
What's his name?
Larry.
I don't know.
Got a biopsy of that, and they look it's looking all clear but you know because there's a history of cancer in the family uh maybe
there's a one percent chance it could uh turn into cancer right so i said look let's take it out
it's a day procedure so i thought okay so that's what i did end of july uh got it taken out testicle
taken out uh what's that what are your lymph nodes so what what did you it taken out. Did you get your testicle taken out? What's that?
Your lymph nodes.
So what did you get taken out?
The lymph node.
Do you know what a lymph... Stop projecting, mate.
I just listened to one of those stories.
I was like, how come I don't know this?
He was trying to find out if he was a hack or not.
Yeah, so what did it look like?
But the first time around, they took the lymph node out,
and then two days later, the area just got insanely infected.
Like a bug got in, and so what was a tiny little scar
turned into an infection the size of, I reckon, about a mango.
Wow.
And it swelled all the way across.
It was just so ugly.
It was red.
It was raw.
Have you eaten a mango since?
Don't know.
Sorry, I can't eat mangoes.
I'm off them.
What was that?
They remind me of my infected dick.
Why does Lomas never go to Sunshine Coast?
Can't get him to eat a Whisper for love nor money.
Lucky he wasn't trying to cross the state border or anything.
Confiscated it.
I never want to do fruit picking again.
Did he get infected because you had a fruit fly in there?
Is that what happened?
So then I had to go back to hospital,
and then I was there for a week.
So it was just like antibiotics, antibiotics.
In the end, what they had to do to get rid of all the pus,
they'd have to stick a needle in it every day and suck out the pus.
Hang on.
When you say they have to suck out the pus, they had a device for it.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, so someone was trying to siphon petrol out of a stolen car or something.
Well, no, this is the weird thing is they would do it the needle and then it just wasn't working and then one night one night
one night because it would swell up so they take it out and then it would fill up again and because
the antibiotics on the drip didn't have kick in so there's one time where i was like this is not
true 100% true because i filmed it and i can fucking show you oh it's on camera so i said i
said to the nurse it's like you know goes, I can try and squeeze it out.
It'll really hurt.
And I go, yeah, you know what?
Let's give it a go.
I am sick of this.
So she presses down on it and starts breathing.
And it is killing.
And then suddenly the amount of pus that comes out of this starts flowing.
And it really kicks in.
And then she wipes it away.
And then as it's happening
I'm groaning
I'm just like
and then at one stage
I just go
this brings me back
to Thailand by the way
I'm discovering a new kink
it's moving down there guys
but that's what it felt like
I felt like I was
cheating on my partner
because I was like
oh
oh
Julie
Julie
telling your wife now look she squeezed me stuff came out it was yellow okay different colour I'm like, oh, oh, oh, Julie. Julie.
Telling your wife, now look, she squeezed me, stuff came out,
it was yellow, okay?
Different colour, it's not cheating. She didn't swallow, it's fine.
I was like, and then she's like, and then when it happened,
I was like, just it was, the relief was phenomenal.
But then she started giggling.
I was like, what's so funny?
She goes, this is my favourite part of my job.
Wow.
Because I love doing this.
She's like you, loves watching a bad,
what a lot of people would think would be the worst part of comedy,
watching other bad comedy.
Yeah, yeah.
But you love it.
That's like her.
She's like, I'm watching this guy's leg just absolutely bomb.
Just two.
Puss and shits coming out of her.
Two Schadenfreude fans collide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, man.
So what?
That's why you're in hospital?
No, it gets so much worse than that.
That's a good thing you're buttering us up.
This is the cold open.
He hasn't even said live from New York Saturday night yet.
So then that happens.
I get out of hospital after a week.
I'm like, oh, okay.
So I got told to heal, take a lot of antibiotics. I think it was like i was on pills and then i finished them right
finished them a couple weeks maybe four weeks after that like you know went to the doctor's
looking pretty good and then five days after that i started getting a little rash on my leg
oh my god i was like a little rash and i was like oh and i was like oh it's kind of underneath where
the operation was but it's a bit weird. And then it started growing a bit.
So I went to the doctors and they said, you know what, just go to emergency.
Just go to emergency.
Just because you've had issues before.
I rock up an emergency at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
4 o'clock in the afternoon and it's starting to hurt a little bit.
It's starting to spread a bit more.
Anyway, I go into emergency and like what they do is
if you have a rash
that's growing
the doctor comes in
and goes
yeah look
hopefully antibiotics
will kill it
if it looks okay
he goes
what I'll do is
I'll draw a texture
around the rash
because if it goes
past the line
then we can see
how fast it's growing
so he goes there
gets a texture
draws
draws a dick and balls
on your leg
he's like
you got me doctor
the doctor's medical
procedure is
is like having a teenager
and owning a bottle of vodka at home.
It's like marking off how much they're drinking.
Absolutely.
Good theme hospital.
Every time you're under for anaesthetic,
you wake up and they've drawn a cock going in.
All the doctors place a bet on which side it's going to reach through first.
It's like crab racing.
Like, come on, boys.
Come on.
Go towards the head.
Who flies on a wall
Yeah
So he goes
He draws a line
He goes
Oh no
This texture's no good
I'll have to get another one
To finish it
Goes and gets another one
Comes back a couple of minutes
The rash has gone past
Oh my god
So they went
Oh this is not good
To be fair
Where did he go
Chadston to get the texture
Or where did he
That's a key part of the story
I mean there's a lot
Going on in emergency
I was like Come on Hurry the fuck up So then to get the texture that's a key part of the story I mean there's a lot going on in emergency I wasn't like
come on
hurry the fuck up
so then
but then by then
it gets crazy
because then
they were like
oh this is not good
and then they did
a couple more tests
and then they came back
saying
just so you know
we need to
operate on you
as soon as possible
have you eaten anything
right now I hadn you eaten anything?
Right?
Now, I hadn't eaten anything.
And you said, look at me.
How long have you got?
No, but the thing about it is, like, someone had thought I was having surgery.
And so they'd given me sandwiches.
So I'd eaten some sandwiches and a biscuit.
And they were like, please don't tell me you've eaten anything.
I was like, oh, no, we've eaten anything. And they were like, well, we can't do anything about that.
Because the reason why you can't eat before surgery is you get reflux
right just because
you're laying down
and then it goes up
your esophagus
and then goes into
your lungs
and then you get
ammonia
oh that's weird
yeah so that's why
you can't eat
because it's really
hard for the
anaesthetist
I thought it was
the prize at the
end of the surgery
like you get to
eat after
I just always assumed it was one of those old rules,
kind of like you can't use your mobile phone on the plane,
which most people just assume.
It's like, come on.
That's like downing a plane,
just getting on a bit of 4G while I'm up in the sky.
It's just an antiquated rule that they've just got to keep around.
I assume maybe it was like,
oh, we don't really want to smell it if he shits himself during surgery.
Wait till everything's out of here.
Fuck. So anyway, so then things are happening. The rash is getting bigger. want to smell it if he shits himself during surgery wait till everything's out of here fuck
so anyway
so then things
are happening
the rash is getting
bigger
there's more surgeons
coming in
and then they think
it's something called
necrophagitis
now necrophagitis
that's when they
fuck you when you're
dead right
dead fascist
oh no not again
karma
that's the third spot in the second bracket of spleen
Anyway, so
So
Things are moving really quickly
Now, this is in lockdown
So what's necrophagitis?
So necrophagitis is a flesh-eating bacteria
So it's flesh-eating
And so the only way you can deal with it
Is cut it out
You have to cut every bit out of it.
Antibiotics doesn't do anything with it.
You just have to cut it out.
But to be fair, if it's a flesh-eating bacteria,
you've probably got three, four weeks before it finishes you.
There's a lot there.
Jesus.
If I was fatter, it'd work.
The bacteria was like, I'm full, honestly.
Why didn't you do the other thing? I had lunch just before I hopped into Lomax.
Why didn't you call up Carl Chandler for moral support at this stage?
I was ringing him every night.
Carl, I'm on death's door.
I bet you can't fit through the door yet.
No, I'll take the credit.
Carl did call me a lot in hospital, which was a level of...
I seem to cheer up the bacteria more than anything, though, to be fair.
Put me on.
Put the phone down there.
Put on speaker so everyone can hear me.
So then it's getting pretty dire.
I can't have my partner in there.
Yeah, because it's locked down.
It's locked down, so it's crazy.
It's happening.
There's a lot of COVID in your ward and stuff oh yeah yeah so covid it's already that's
already was starting to kick in so there was already covid patients in there they weren't
it wasn't a covid patient operating on me
hey how you going i tested positive much like this podcast
oh and i got covid and he was was knocked out. So things happen.
It's like we have to go in there to determine whether it's necrophagitis.
We think it is.
So the sooner we get in there, the more we can save of your leg.
Oh my fucking God.
Yes.
Oh my God.
Now that's when I start.
It just becomes insanely surreal.
This explains why you did hop in today, right?
I just noticed something missing about you.
Walking in a circle at the front of my house.
Yeah.
So then it just gets dire because it's like,
well, you have to sign this stuff before you go under.
And one of the ones was you have to give permission
to have your leg removed from your hip.
Fuck, man.
And it was the most fucked.
So you went under, signing that off going,
I could wake up.
Yes.
As Hopalong Lomax.
I could wake up and I will have a show for next year's comedy.
Yeah, I was going to say, did you go,
which one did Hilsey get off?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I quit drinking.
Never thought I'd be legless again
You know, there's your
Thanks and goodnight
Because, you know
You speak to your kids
Going, hey
I don't know how bad it is
But I just want to say
I love you
Like, it gets fucking dark
And I'm really sorry
You'll never be able to sit on my lap again
My knee, sure
Not my lap
But that's the kind of
So when I went under
And they put the mask on me,
I was just like genuinely having those moments like,
well, I guess this is it.
I've had a good run.
There's no more running.
Yeah, I know.
But that's what it was.
And I was like, oh, you know, and it was the same thing.
I was like, you know, I should definitely...
Did you think for a second, oh, there was, and it was the same thing. I was like, you know, I should definitely.
Did you think for a second, oh, there was so much things I wanted to do with that leg. No.
I wanted to kick that guy.
No, it was really weird because, I mean, one, I was really annoyed they were playing John Mayer.
Like in the background.
Yeah, that's what the surgeon like.
I know it was weird.
Your body is a wonderland.
It's not a wonderland.
You're taking away one of the rides.
It's a haunted theme park.
What's a theme park without a leg?
One part's closed for maintenance.
I don't think it's coming back.
I want to run through the halls of my high school.
I'm not running anywhere.
It is so awesome.
Actually, we need the hall and mirror
just so it can look like I've got two of these legs. It is so awesome. Actually, we need the hall and mirror just so it can look like I've got two of these legs.
It is so awesome doing a podcast that rides your festival shirt.
It's amazing.
So I went under going, oh, I've had a good run and I've had a good life.
I don't know what's going to be
life on the outside
but at the same time
at the same time
going
I don't want to wake up
oh
it was really weird
because I was like
I was too scared
to see
what was on the other side
yeah that's
because when you come out
of anaesthetic too
like you're fucked
you're so groggy
and it takes you
like a few moments
to recalibrate anyway
so that plus potentially knowing that you're going to have to like have that phantom leg thing or whatever.
And so when I went under, like I went under, but when I woke up and I was groggy,
it was like four o'clock in the morning.
I was the only patient left in an emergency because I had to get another surgeon to do it.
Because I couldn't fit anyone else in the ward.
Sorry.
I've got to jump on now.
I've got to jump on.
Kevin!
There's so many
madder people.
Yeah, but they're not here.
I know.
I know.
No, that's the last one.
But when I woke up and I just tapped the right leg.
Oh, my God.
That was one of the best feelings I've ever had.
Just going, fuck, it's still there.
Like, it's still there.
Good prank for the nurses would be rub numbing gel all over that leg.
Oh, yes.
I was going to go to hit it and feel it.
No, no.
It was freaking right out.
Rub numbing gel all over his hand.
But see, that's not the end of it, right?
Because then what happened is I had to have not one,
but then another operation as well.
They had to keep going back in to see if it was still there.
So it was like they didn't find it,
but then they had to go back and do the second surgery
to close up the wounds.
And every time it's the same thing of like you might come out and not have a leg?
The first one was the serious one.
The second one was patching it up.
But after the second one, it was really bad because after the second one, I got transported
to the wrong hospital.
So after the second surgery, I woke up in a different hospital with just old people.
It was like a nursing home.
I woke up in a nursing home and I'll never hear this
I turned around
I thought this is not my room
I was like this is really weird
and this old lady
was staring at me
right
and just going
you're not supposed to be
and then
long story short
I went downhill from there
because I was on the wrong antibiotics
then I was rushed back
to the other hospital
and then I spent another week and a half trying to work out they fucked up though Long story short, I went downhill from there because I was on the wrong antibiotics. Then I was rushed back to the other hospital.
And then I spent another week and a half trying to work out.
They fucked up that.
So in the end, maybe nothing was wrong with your leg.
Maybe you just had fucking color blindness or something.
There was definitely something wrong with my leg.
Fuck. And I only became an outpatient like a week ago because then I had to become,
I was part of the, like, you know,
the head of infectious diseases
looking after my case
because they still don't know
how I got it.
Right.
They still...
How can people get it?
Well, so for me,
they reckon it was a tiny little cut
that this type of infection got in
and then joined,
as they think,
with two other types of infections
to create this absolute monster.
And they say,
they say that if I rocked up 24 hours later to emergency,
I would have definitely lost a leg.
Fuck.
But even worse, they were like, you're lucky the infection went down.
Oh.
Because he goes, if it went up and got to your heart, you'd be dead.
Fuck.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Anyway, tickets on Saturday, $32.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Anyway, tickets on Saturday, $32.
You know, I'm very glad you're all good, but I do love the image. But.
I do love the image of you on stage coming out with one leg going,
comedy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think I could even do that.
So, anyway.
Good to be here. In fact, I was able to get a disabled park out the front, so it's good to be here
in fact I was able
to get a disabled
park out the front
so it's fucking
great to be here
anyway see you
mate
that's another
little dum-dum
podcast for this
week
I do love that
you did tell me
afterwards you were
like you were so
happy and like
weeks later you
were saying it's
giving me a new
lease on life
I've been like so
happy and so
positive it's really
changed me I'm like
cunt the only thing
you do is scream
come on in it's not like you're the grim reaper or anything you're a fucking happy I've been so happy and so positive. It's really changed me. I'm like, the only thing you do is scream,
come on in!
It's not like you're the Grim Reaper or anything.
You're fucking happy already.
No, I am happy, but it genuinely... It puts everything in, like lockdowns and stuff,
it puts all that into it.
Everything.
It puts so many things...
It's a weird thing about it, not to get all...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm turning to my podcast, but it's just like I've got more patience.
Like I'm not snapping at everything.
Like I just genuinely, because I was facing a fucking shit fight.
I'm not out of the woods yet.
Like they say it could come back.
Like I have to be really careful.
Can we test you for that now?
Drop your darts.
I'll get in there
i'm good at finding
a rack so yeah
i love finding a
that was me so
hey cap i heard
you've got a root
canal
the big tooth
yeah the real
chomper yeah
no but that's
weird man because
i saw photos of
you in hospital
and i really wanted
to send you a
message going hey
i hope you're okay
but i thought oh
he's probably getting bombarded with messages.
And then when I went to hospital and everyone sent me a message,
I was like, oh, God, that felt good.
Yeah.
I feel so bad that I didn't send Lomas a message.
I'm sitting in hospital like, you know, the person I'm thinking of is Ben Lomas.
The guy I see three times a year.
Fucking, I feel bad about Ben Lomas.
Yeah, yeah.
No, man.
I actually, I feel weird because, yeah, fucking, I, mine was really bad, but I don't, like,
oh, yeah.
So let's spell out what's happened with you.
Yeah, well, basically, I was just riding my bike a lot in lockdown,
just riding my mountain bike heats.
And then I just felt a little bit more sensitivity in my testicle.
Yes.
And it was like, it kind of felt like there was like a little pea joined onto one.
You know what I mean?
Oh, like the classic tale of the princess and the pea.
Yeah, it was fucking, I don't know what that was, Carl.
What was that riff?
But the princess and the pea, the fairy tale where they could tell who the princess was.
They put a pea under like 10 mattresses.
And she could still feel it.
She could still feel it.
The princess sleeping on your dick and going there's cancer in there so that
proves you're a
real princess you
could feel a pee on
your testicle yeah
yeah well yeah it
was a bit like that
because I was
bloody um I'd
never I've never
voluntarily gone to
the doctor you guys
know me my my head
could be falling off
and I'm like I'm not
gonna go to the
doctors regularly
nah who cares
I haven't got time
for it that's smart
yeah I know
this is after this year you've already
come off a motorbike and woken up in hospital yeah yeah like covered in a big like scrape
yeah on your back yeah and uh so but for some reason just thought i better go get this checked
out and uh yeah was um and i i called a friend who was uh he friend who rides mountain bikes a lot,
and he's like, oh, yeah, man, there's a bit of pain there.
You've just got to sit back on the seat and wear these special jocks.
Just so the listeners know,
Lomas is checking his watch as you're telling this heartbreaking story.
No, no, no, I'm expecting the results from the hospital right now.
We've got the results uh you're bored
testicle who cares i've nearly lost a leg um yeah so you get the special she's like oh look
yeah and i looked it up on the internet they're like yeah you get pain from riding a bike yeah so i went to the doctor he's like yeah if there's pain there it's probably not
a cancer he's like usually there's no pain okay but because you're in the age group we'll get you
looked at right and then uh so i got an ultrasound and um yeah it was funny i went and got an
ultrasound at the place and uh there's this lady and she's got a rub gel on your scarf and all that, right?
Yeah.
And I was rocking the biggest forest of all time.
Yeah, but that's fine.
It was very, very crazy.
So you, the drapes smushed the carpet.
Yeah.
How it's supposed to be. The drapes match the carpet. Yeah.
How it's supposed to be.
We don't need to know about how you're looking as well, mate.
Okay?
Let's just hear about Kappa.
And there was the... 70s style.
And here's a funny dum-dum thing, right, that happened,
because it was in Richmond,
and then they had those smash pop-up burgers in Richmond, right?
Oh, yes.
And I was going to meet up with you that day, Carl.
And I pulled up my pants after it and I looked out the window
and I was like, oh, smash burgers is here already.
And she goes, oh, are they good?
I'm like, yeah, they're real good.
And then there was a bit of silence.
I go, what a way to spend a Saturday, huh?
Hoping that she would laugh.
Like, you have to feel around my balls.
And she's like, yeah, anyway, we'll see you soon.
She's seen it all.
She's seen it all.
She's heard all the ball jokes.
Yeah, she's doing this all day.
Oh, buy me dinner first.
She's probably used that three times a day.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it was fucking awful.
So, yeah, anyway, I was just like, oh, didn't think anything of it.
And then I got the call.
And then, you know, when you get the call and then they're like,
you've got to come in.
You've got to chat.
Yeah.
You don't want to do it over the phone.
Nah.
I've had those ones, don't you?
You can do it over the phone.
It's like a girlfriend.
Hey, let's meet up in this park that's halfway between both our houses.
Oh, here we go.
This isn't a date. There's no weapons in this park that's halfway between both our houses. Here we go. This isn't a date.
There's no weapons in this park.
It's equidistant.
It's like an easy trip back for both of us.
There's a lot of witnesses.
I think it'd be a great place to just have a picnic.
You always want to go to that park. I'll bring
a mate along.
I don't want to bring a mate along
for this one. Let's see what the mate's
doing an hour after that.
See if they can meet you
somewhere then
at a pub or something.
Do you mind if tissues?
Probably going to talk
to Bing like,
nah, not here.
Let's meet at the park
so I can give you
these results.
Let's meet at the supermarket
in the aisle
with the tissues yeah so
yeah he called me
and he says like
there could be a chance
you've got a
a tumor
they don't
never want to alarm you
right
so they go
a tumor or a growth
and you're like
a tumor
a tumor
he had it ready on the video're like a tumor a tumor he had it
ready on the
video
might be a
tumor
fuck let's
watch that
if we're all
two weeks
kindergarten
yeah that was
great
but it's so
funny because
I'm like
oh man I
thought you
were going to
tell me I
had a cancer
and he's like
no that's a
cancer
oh fuck
the old
the true
wait that was
the full sentence
It's not a tumor
Or a growth
Long pause
It's a cancer
It could be a tumor
Or a growth
And I was like
I didn't know a tumor
Was a cancer
So I'm like
Oh a tumor
Oh that's fine
You know
So it's not a cancer
And he goes
Yeah it's just a cancer
Yeah yeah
So yeah
So he's like
We're gonna
Tumor's got some big
Good PR people working for it
You know, you hear Tumor
You don't think great
But you think
Oh yeah, this is workable
This is manageable
I don't think cancer can go
Well, it could be a good cancer
Yeah, exactly
Tumor's a flip of a coin
There's still a little bit of hope
Yeah
Tumor's like
A harsh thunderstorms
prediction,
but really
it's a fucking
cyclone coming
towards you.
Whereas cancer's
a roll of the
dice, but it's
one of those
12-sided Dungeons
and Dragons
dice and every
side of it
says get
fucked.
There's one
that's like
maybe you're
okay.
He's like,
we're going to
have to operate
as quickly as
possible because these things grow fast, so we'll try he's like, we're going to have to operate as quickly as possible
because these things grow fast.
So we'll try and get you in as quickly.
So finish your burger and let's hop in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll wait for the fries.
We'll wait for the fries.
I was like, at least buy me dinner first.
He's like, I haven't even touched your balls yet.
I just told you you had cancer.
Oh, sorry.
I came when you said cancer.
That's on me.
Leon Smashburg is, they're out of Tullamarine today.
So good.
Yeah, so, yeah, he said, yeah, we're going to have to operate as quickly as possible.
Now, was it like Lomas, the thing where he couldn't eat, you know, for like a day before
you had the operation? So So did you have to come
Everything out of your bowl
First before you had to operate
Yeah
I thought of that
I thought
Oh is this my last good wank
Yeah
Like a rental car
Just fucking empty
The tank before you take it back
And just
And just not a lot of motivation
Given you've just had that news
You're like
Oh
Yeah
I guess I better do it
Yeah
The doctor telling me that But then he sucks me off That's pretty horny I guess Yeah you're like oh yeah i guess i better do it but the doctor telling me that but
then he sucks me off that's pretty horny yeah they're like oh fuck what if i punch it accidentally
while i'm jerking off you know that was actually one of my thoughts but what was the turnaround
from them saying that to you then getting the operation man it took ages because i was public
hey just a little advice out there.
If you can afford private health, do it.
Do it.
How much I disagree with you.
So public's the good one.
Public's the one that saves you.
Private's the one where you spend a shitload of money and anyway.
Yeah, all right.
Yeah, I don't know.
But fuck, yeah, it took ages to get me through.
Yeah, I don't know.
But fuck, yeah, it took ages to get me through.
And yeah, so I was okay with it.
Because as far as I was told, all we've got to do is just lose the nut,
then it's all good.
Yeah.
So how long were you waiting?
So you did get told that literally, it's like, right, we're going in,
that's coming out.
Yeah.
Say goodbye to your little friend.
My partner's like, you've got to ring this private guy.
Get a second opinion, you know?
And I was like, what a fucking waste of time this is.
Anyway, I'll ring.
It cost me like 200 bucks to talk to this guy,
but it was real funny because my doctor is very professional about it,
tiptoed around it, and he calls me. He's like, mate, basically, what's got to happen is that nut's got to come out.
Sounds like a mechanic yeah yeah
I was gonna say
that's worth 200 bucks
that's good
am I talking to Mick
I used to work
on the cotton farm with
yeah and so
go to your doctor
they've got like a calendar
with like a nude
pinup woman on it
yeah mate
just have a look
under there
it's fucked that nut's fucked that nut. Yeah, mate. Just have a look under there. It's fucked.
That nut's fucked.
That nut's fucking cactus, mate.
He's got a nut
and he's got a pie
and a fucking coke
sitting in the desk.
You've got to leave it
overnight, mate.
You've got to leave it overnight.
Fuck, I've never had a doctor
with a high-vis vest on before.
I just came to get him checked.
He's like,
nah, the nut's got to come out.
Now just lay down on here.
Hey, I'm leaving it at the oil tray.
I'm in the cum tray.
Anyway, it really helped.
The guy was great.
But that's what he told me.
Did you have to go and store any spoons?
Yes.
For possible little kappers?
So I was like...
I love you dad
yeah
wipe me out
yeah
well
this is the weirdest
fucking thing ever
right
this is the weirdest
thing ever
because they go
because we rang around
we're like fuck
we've got to get
the sperm stored
I didn't really
want to do it
I was
you know
I was like
it'll be fine
you're like
I've got gallons
under my bed
they're like
that's too old yeah but what do you mean you didn't want to do it because they were like oh look it'll be fine. You're like, I've got gallons under my bed. They're like, that's too old.
Yeah, but what do you mean you didn't want to do it?
Because they were like, oh, look, it'll be fine.
Like they said, look, your nut's going to come out,
but usually it's good.
Oh, God, the miso's making me go and have a wank into a cup.
What a waste of an afternoon.
Anyway, because we're in such a rush,
my father rings me and she's like,
look, the only place we could get you in is at the children's hospital.
Why do they even have a place set up for this?
I was like, finally, I can do it legally.
Finally.
These are three words.
It's a trap.
I was like, oh, that's pretty good. That's a trap Yeah I was like
That's pretty good
That's the only place
I haven't jerked off
To be honest
Is it your festival show
To catch a predator
Yeah
Was the first clue
It's in the playground
You gotta do it
Yeah
The children's hospital
We start you off
With a happy meal
Hopefully that gets you chubbed up
Then we take you into
The Starlight Foundation room for a bit of Xbox.
See the meerkats on the way out.
We're going to stick a nugget up your ass.
Put in the hot coffee code on GTA.
Do you want a porno to get you started?
I go, no, I'll just use a picture off the wall.
Just take me on a little tour, thanks.
The only implication being that they have pictures of all the patients
dotted around the hallway.
Anyway, no, it was fucking...
It was the horniest time of the year, the Royal Children's Hospital, Peter.
Yeah, yeah.
So I was like, fuck.
So you were at the children's hospital and you were in...
Well, this is the funniest thing, right?
I was so scared.
I was like...
Of wanking?
Going up to the reception.
I was afraid.
I'm here to have a...
Yeah, exactly.
Now, look, you're going to think I'm insane.
Please, I'm going to need you to take your hands away from the phone
or any emergency police buttons.
You're going to think I'm insane and you're going to probably say to me,
stop, you've already started doing it now in reception.
I know it takes
me a while. Just point me where to go.
But I'm not interested in you. It's you all.
Hi, I'm here to be my surgeon,
Ronald McDonald.
Do I get to make a wish
or what?
Yeah.
This is my whiff.
Just been able to jerk off and everybody knows it.
So, yeah.
Because you've got all these ideas in your head.
You've spat on yourself in the middle of that story, by the way.
Oh, fuck.
You made another deposit.
Fuck it up.
You've got all these ideas in your head because you think that,
well, it's just going to be a big sign saying,
guys jerking off here.
Kids, do not come in here.
But anyway, to my relief, but not to my relief,
it wasn't the children's hospital.
We got it at the women's hospital.
Oh, yes.
Okay, now we're talking.
Harbor, harbor.
A natural place to do it.
Yeah, but it was just natural place to do it.
Yeah, but it was just a door in the wall.
Didn't have a sign or anything.
Well, you just did it into the door. What a glory hole.
What?
I just thought it was going to be some big neon sign.
Literally like telling a sausage down the hallway.
Come in this room.
Fill this room up
It was
So you mean you go in
And it's just a very
Like nondescript
Yeah it's very nondescript
And they don't have
Customer service people
They've just got the scientists
Right
So you've just got
Did they give you like
Pornos or anything like that
Man
This is probably
The biggest regret ever
I walked in there
And they just had
A video
Like a Just a TV Just Milo and they just had a video, like just a TV.
Just Milo and Otis.
Just a TV and a remote.
No, just CCTV of the rest of the hospital.
Milo and Otis.
Milo and Otis.
Some poor woman with bronchitis down the hallway.
Yes!
So you're in the room And
Yeah
They had the remote there
And just the TV
And
I was gonna talk
But I was like
This place
Has probably been
Fucking painted
Many a time
Yeah
Including the remote
Yeah
But
They did have
This is worse than the sit down comedy club
Spare flat up
Yeah Yeah Fucking aliens With all the 70s pornos in it But they did have This is worse than the sit down comedy club Spare flat up Yeah
With all the 70s pornos in it
I've been in that position before
Where I've had to get a check
And had to go into the room
And jeez into a cup
Yeah
And the TV and the remote
And it's kind of brutal
Because you like turn it on
And it's at the exact point
That the person before you
Check the porno
Do you really
Do you really need the porno Can't you just do it Well there's like I don't know it's all kind exact point that the person before you checked out. Do you really need the porn?
Can't you just do it?
Well, there's like an answer.
What kind of scene have you got on offer?
What do medical people think is like the best porn
for this kind of situation?
Also, you're in a sterile environment.
You're at the women's hospital.
There's just white walls.
Are you that fertile that you're like,
nah, I think I'm still good?
I think that's a bit personal, but I'd have no problem.
that fertile that you're like,
nah, I think I'm still good.
I think that's a bit personal,
but I'd have no problem.
Not an issue in the world.
No stage fright for your car.
Absolutely.
They're like,
Mr Lomis, you have to close the door first.
Let's just put it this way.
Let's just put it this way.
Let's put it this way.
If that comes back positive,
you're going to see a lot of me waking up.
You're just going to walk around Princess Park you're like
I'm a bit chubbed up
I might pop into the room
at the women's
take care of business
are you like me
during lockdown
instead of shitting
you were doing something else
getting half way
down the street
I ate a lot of bread
doesn't take me much
we need milk again
really into homey
the funniest thing is they had two charcoal drawings of nude women.
Oh, there you go.
And then just one painting of like a European port town.
Right.
And I'm like, oh, lucky I haven't travelled in a while.
Imagine being on Emirates.
Oh, just watching that.
Oh, yes.
The Riviera.
So it had that and, yeah, it was.
So your boys are on ice?
Yeah, yeah.
It was funny because, I don't know, I was trying to.
So this is their swan song.
This is your last hurrah of a fully lethal jerk-off session.
Yeah, and I felt so weird about it because, yeah,
my ball was getting bigger and it was getting more and more painful.
Right.
And I was like, yeah, I just felt so shit.
I felt so horrible.
But, yeah, it was fucking – I got into the car and I was just ruined.
You know, I couldn't – After you'd finished. Yeah, it was fucking – I got into the car and I was just ruined. You know, I couldn't –
After you'd finished.
Yeah, yeah.
I was just – because they just –
They asked you just to do it once, but you did it five times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also the funny thing is I know you guys have all jerked off
and I know you'll probably do it in the future, but I don't know when.
Right?
Yeah.
And it's so weird knowing – like, you're filling out the form
and someone's like, yeah, you can write all you want, buddy,
but we know you're going to fucking jerk off.
Well, also, when I went...
He's jerking off there.
I did it early enough in the day that I went
and then the waiting room fills up with people behind me.
Yeah.
And you go in and it's like, when are these people booked in for?
Because it's like, this takes as long as it takes.
So going into that room and closing the door and knowing that there's, like, when are these people booked in for? Because it's like this takes as long as it takes. So going into that room and closing the door
and knowing that there's like a waiting room of people
that are waiting to get in there after, you know what I mean?
Like the rest of their day is just dictated by how fast you can come.
And like you open that door and walk out and everyone's like,
yep, we know what's happening there.
Oh, man.
It's fucking bizarre.
Oh, I didn't, yeah, I didn't.
Like that's so much worse than what I went through, you know.
But the funny thing is they get the sample, right,
but you want to just get in and out.
You're just like, hey, here it is.
All right, bye.
And then the guy's like, oh, stick around.
We've got a few more forms.
But the guy took the sample and then he put it in this cube thing
that's like moving.
Right.
Like that they use for science.
To keep it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just with heaps of other sperms.
They just put it in the thing and it's moving.
But what if it's moving?
Like it's got this rotating box.
They just keep it fresh.
Yeah, keep it fresh.
Like a milk to make sure the sediment doesn't go to the bottom.
Yeah, like in a slush puppy, the fucking thing moving around.
Right, right, right.
Now I get it.
Now you say slush puppy.
A bit of blue syrup in it.
Delicious.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've never had a white slush puppy before, but sure, okay.
Yeah, and then I went home and, yeah, just really just waited for the operation.
Look, guys, I tell you what, the anti-vaxxers, they were right.
You know, like it didn't hold things up at all.
Like it didn't really fuck up everything for me for like three weeks.
They're on to something.
Don't believe in science.
Just let some dude at home look at his testicle get bigger
and have a heart attack for like three weeks
because they can't get you in operation because you're back of the line, really.
But yeah, they got me in, cut the bloody ball out, and then I couldn't walk for fucking
five days.
Is it like a tooth?
No.
Do you put it under the pillow?
Wait for the ball fairy.
The nut fairy.
No, they wait until it goes hard and it's a ball they use at the children's hospital.
Chuck it on Marketplace, surely.
Anyone who needs one.
Is that the ball pit at the children's hospital?
All the kids diving into it?
Someone paid to pay for it.
Plaster of Paris in your heart out.
Yeah, so it was pretty brutal,
and I've still got to – I'm pretty sure I'm out of the woods.
The tuba markers have gone down.
I've got to go under heaps of tests, and then I'm under surveillance.
But, you know, you don't want to – like you, Lomas,
you don't want to get deep, But I never saw a doctor before this.
But just if anyone, listen to the podcast,
if you've got the slightest lump on your nut or your breast or whatever,
fucking get it checked.
Don't wait.
Don't wait.
Don't fucking wait.
I was so lucky.
I was so lucky I had pain.
And I was so lucky that I wasn't working.
Like, if I was working, like, I would have just put it was so lucky I had pain. Yeah. And I was so lucky that I wasn't working.
Like, if I was working, like, I would have just put it off, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Lucky, yeah, lucky for the pandemic.
Yeah.
Pandemic finally paid off.
Man, and my partner was telling me, hey, stop lying on the couch playing with your balls, you know?
But look what it led to, huh?
Like, of course. I was like, who's right now, you know?
Let's just say You got a lot
Like Lomas
We got to ask
How did you get it
Is bombing carcinogenic
Is that how you got it
But it's true
And also don't wait
Like even if it's something trivial
And you're like
I'll sleep on it
If I fucking slept on it
I would have been fucked
Yeah
Just go to the doctors
And check it out
Yeah
Just get it checked out
Buddy
Because yeah You never know what's –
and because so many – I got so many messages off, you know,
from dumb-dumb listeners and people like that who were like, yeah,
mine was brutal.
Because I might have to do preventative chemo.
I don't know yet, but probably not, you know.
Yeah.
But I only have a 30 30 chance of it coming back
which is still kind of high but not really yeah whereas people that put it off it fucking comes
back tenfold yeah like it comes back on you tenfold yeah so and then and then it's no it's
not just a little bit of chemo it is full blown there for weeks on end yeah sick and all that jazz
yeah so fucking women's hospital
is even busier now so you'll have to be batting off in the lord smith animal hospital yeah yeah
which is across the road yeah burning off down the road but i do hope i have to give another
deposit so i can go back and actually see what's on that tv yeah yeah well i wanted to make you a
little get well soon gift.
And I also, you said you're now, like, you think you're out of the woods.
Yeah. But there's, you know.
There's always a chance.
There's always a chance.
And for all of us.
And so you guys might not know this, but in the middle of lockdown,
I bought Belle Gibson's cookbook off eBay.
Her now out of print and unavailable,
except on the black market cookbook,
of recipes that are... Cured her cancer.
And so I'm going to have to leave the room to get this,
but I cooked up something from it last night.
A little snack that we can all enjoy.
Amazing. Ah, yes.
This is culinary chemo right now.
Yeah, yeah.
So I thought I'll go...
I'm just going to have to run to the other room.
This will make sure me and Lomas don't get it either.
Yeah, exactly. This is amazing. I'll go and get'm just going to have to run to the other room. This will make sure me and Lomas don't get it either. Yeah, exactly.
It's amazing.
I'll go and get him and dish him up,
and then we can all protect ourselves.
We might not be protected from COVID.
It's the cancer vaccine.
Yeah, exactly.
I'll be right back.
Can you one sec?
Yeah, I'm going to, you know,
I feel better already, to be honest.
Yeah.
Well, it's funny, though.
Even just talking about this,
like, as traumatic as it is,
like, you know, it's the way we deal with it.
Just, like, fucking make fun of it.
Yes.
Yes.
And lovely of you blokes both to come in and make light of a serious situation.
But yeah, God, it's better than fucking being doom and gloom about it,
especially because it's happy endings.
Yeah.
Let's say.
Yeah.
It's really funny, though, because you bloody, you do comedy or whatever.
And I try not to talk about it. You know, and I try not to talk about it.
You know, like I only want to talk about it in ways of awareness.
I don't want to make it about me.
But then I did a gig with Hughsey on Saturday night,
and I'm just talking to him.
He's like, oh, yeah, I heard about the thing, and I talked about it.
Anyway, I get a call.
I get a message from Hughsey's radio station.
They're like, hey, mate, we're just wondering if we could talk to you
on the show about prosthetic testicles.
Oh, I see Husey.
Yeah, here we go.
But it was good.
You know, anything to spread awareness.
Oh, so you have a prosthetic in there?
No, no.
They said, do you want one?
And I'm like, well, I said to the doctor straight up,
it's not going to look any better.
Yeah.
It's not going to, like, I don't know a woman that's a fan of symmetry.
Yeah.
If you've got a fucking dog turd and you're like,
oh, I'll tell you what, I'll make that look better,
another dog turd next to it just hanging next to it.
Can you maybe just center the remaining one,
maybe just to make it look a bit even?
It does go in the center a bit more.
Oh, does it?
Yeah, and you don't notice.
You honestly don't notice.
Prove it.
I'll show you my scars if I'll show you.
Look at that one right there.
It does raise a question, Tommy,
because this is the number one question I always had for you on Cancer Corner.
Does it hurt?
And apparently the answer is yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, mine did.
I think mine was pushing on a nerve or something.
Like it was just the growth.
Right.
But, yeah.
And it grows so quick.
It was going crazy.
It's so lucky.
They grow up so fast.
And also, Tommy Tommy what do you think
about this revelation
another rooster
in the hen house
how are you feeling
about this situation
it feels good
having someone
in the clubhouse
it's good
it's nice to
have someone
in the brotherhood
this is
we should announce
this now Tommy
that we're doing
a double act
called the cancer boys
we're touring
RSLs and hospitals.
What about the chemo bros?
Yeah, I mean, if you do have to go,
I hope this doesn't happen,
but if you do have to go through chemo,
that beautiful head of hair.
I know.
I don't reckon even chemo could knock that off.
You know, I'm already there.
So I look like I'm going through chemo.
So that's when we do the tour.
I'd love to hear a song like,
I got a computer, he lost a nut.
Cancer boy.
Don't you wish you said that had happened like fucking 30 years ago
so you could have gone to Disneyland?
Yeah, I know.
Is there any adult make a wish?
Where would you have gone?
If you were 12
and you had cancer
and you got to make a wish,
what do you think
you would have wished for?
Monster truck rally.
Do you know what?
I would have just wished
to have gone to Sydney
because I think I'd been to...
I think I'd been to Sydney
once in my life.
Right.
That's...
Yeah, that's brilliant.
That's what I need to do.
I need to,
there must be,
I mean,
a laptop is pretty bad
but there must be,
I need to try and get onto
the Make-A-Wish
and find the records.
There have to be people
that have ones
as bad or worse
than my ones.
I want to go on the rollercoaster
and learn to park.
I want to see a movie
in the cinema.
Yeah,
no,
you know what you get?
You get people
that'll be like, oh, I want to meet Mickey Mouse or I want to meet Santa movie in the cinema. You know what you'd get? You'd get people that would be like,
oh, I want to meet Mickey Mouse or I want to meet Santa.
And so you're just meeting some cunt in a fucking hat.
Absolutely.
And they must be like, are you sure?
Like maybe meet him at Disney World so you get the trip as well.
No, just wherever.
Just down the street.
Yeah, just Ringwood Shopping Centre.
I want to go for a ride
in my uncle Danny's car
anyway I'm going to try
one of the
onion bhaji
oh wow
god
okay
I can't
you let me know how it is
onions don't sit well
so it's like a shallow fried
kind of crispy
onion fritter
could be a bit warmer
I had to kind of heat them up
before you guys got here
is this the cancer Is this the cancer?
Is this the cancer?
Are we eating cancer?
Yeah
No this is saving you
Oh it's really
You're alright
That's alright
This is one of your
So what's in it?
Onions
Onions
Turmeric
Bit of batter
Cummin
And Anti-cancer Cooked in coconut oil Turmeric, a bit of batter, cumin.
And anti-cancer.
Cooked in coconut oil.
Oh, yeah, nice.
I would have to say, if I had to pick whether this was getting rid of cancer or giving me cancer, I would definitely vote for giving.
Now, guys, now that we've eaten these and we've talked about Bell Gibson,
if anything comes out in the media that I don't have cancer,
they don't know what they're talking about, right?
You know what I mean?
How many of you faked it just to get a ball cut out for free?
A bit of cosmetic surgery.
Don't go ringing any hospitals, all right?
What they couldn't hear because it was on a podcast is that when I said I have cancer,
I was doing like the air quotation marks around cancer.
But that doesn't travel in the podcast.
Yeah, I didn't do it
for a free suit, okay?
I would never be that broke
or destitute.
Or it was just a long game to get into the children's
hospital.
I always wanted to see what it was like.
Yeah, here's his radio station. Can I go back to see what it was like.
Yeah, Hugh's radio station.
Can I go back to the children's hospital?
Yeah, probably Hugh's station.
You lost a ball.
I opened a packet of balls and they're all dead.
I was at a gig the other night and someone on stage said that there's a rumour going around that Hugh's has COVID.
And it was like a really, there was like some kid from tiktok was on the bill so the crowd was all these like 20 year old people there to see him and i turned to the person who runs the
gig and said that in in response to this rumor about hughesie having covid i was like opened a
packet of snake the live the other day couldn't smell any of them i thought oh fuck i've got the
rona and this person was like you should say that when you get up there. I'm like,
everyone in the audience is like 21
as if they've ever fucking heard
of Husey's Snakes Alive routine.
But the idea of me getting up and doing
that and then just to absolute silence
wheeling out a Husey
impression. And them going,
then going, who's Husey?
Yeah, absolutely.
That was my first gig back
I thought of you with this low mass
Got on, bit rusty
Four months without doing a gig
I was open with like
Anyone planning to travel anytime soon?
And this kid goes
Yeah, me, I'm going to Europe
And I'm like
Oh, that'll be good
I'm back, baby!
Four months hasn't felt the flame at all.
Still good.
I've got to approach you about this, Lomas.
Something big, but it's pretty funny.
But we were talking about, before we started the podcast,
going to shows that you know are bad, right?
You love doing it at a comedy festival.
You went to one 21 times this year didn't you yeah yeah yeah it was really interactive you know it depended on me
to be there um by the end of it i almost knew it off by heart but uh one of one of my first comedy festival shows, Lomas and a mate came high as fuck.
To your show.
Yeah, and it was me.
I think we were pissed.
When you see Lomas at your show, that's like seeing the Grim Reaper.
And he laughed all the way through.
And I loved it so much.
I was like, but one of the best things is because it was a very poorly written show.
Of course, it was an action hero show.
I think at one start, because I was very pissed and I remember laughing a lot.
Yeah.
But all I remember is one part, you were pretending to be a helicopter.
Yeah, a toy helicopter comes out and saves me.
I remember that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was so funny.
The show went way too long.
And I remember you thought the show was over,
but then the helicopter comes out.
And the helicopter comes out to silence,
and then what saved it, though, was Lomas giggling in the background.
He goes, it's still going.
What was the premise of that show?
It was like you've been flown to Iraq to stop the war by doing comedy or something like that?
Yeah, they said it was...
That's a long time ago.
They put a bomb in Saddam Hussein's stomach and it didn't go off.
And the only way to make it go off was to make him laugh.
They needed to send me, the world's best comedian, to do a gig for him for the bomb to explode.
Actually, it's a pretty good premise.
I should bring it.
It is good.
About four people saw it.
And you'd retire in the show.
You'd done a gig that you'd killed too hard
and people actually died or something like that.
Yeah, I did a gig and I killed so hard
I killed my wife and child that was in the crowd.
No wonder you got cancer
fuck yeah yeah yeah so uh yeah it was i always remember that and i you know obviously you know
you came there as a friend and stuff but also you were like that you took a moment like this
show is going to be fucked well he didn't want to go he didn't want to go he's like oh every time
you take me to comedy, it's just like...
And also because it was another friend who I still stay in contact with
that you did with Xander as well.
So I remember you go there, but also when you guys started doing
the helicopter stuff, I remember just...
And that's the only bit I actually remember
because I remember just laughing.
Xander Allen had one of the best lines ever in comedy.
I would love to steal it whenever he emceed.
He goes, well, tonight's the night.
We've got a lot of comics on.
We've got a few that should be on the TV.
It's a real who's that of comedy.
I don't think that's a visually hip thing.
Yeah, a real who's that of comedy
So you can have it
Yeah
Thanks guys
Alright we got one more thing left to do
To wrap this up
Oh well
Oh yeah
Can I
I got one little thing
Well
Can we start
I gotta fly
Oh alright
Okay okay
We gotta fly
Should we do that
Big announcement
Oh okay
Yeah
Oh
Sure
Alright
Drum roll
Drum roll
Drum roll
Drum roll
Test results
Test results
I don't even know what I'm looking at
Tell me what it means
Oh god he's stuck
Oh he's stuffed it
He's absolutely
Who put the extra thing on
I did
I put chewing gum on the top of it
To hide it.
Ladies and gentlemen, he has herpes.
He's very much in the clear, Carl Chandler.
What does that mean?
So that's the control line.
So if there was another line there of the same colour,
you would be positive with COVID.
If it was like Like a Like a fake
Like a sort of
Like a faint line
Then you'd have to
Either do it again
Or then go get a PCR test
So
I'm not having a bad day
Guys
No
After this episode
You guys better get a sponsorship
From fucking Big Hell
I know
Like what the fuck
This episode brought to you
By the rapid antigen test
They're having trouble
Shifting them guys Get down and pick one up This is what they play In the Rapid Antigen Test. They're having trouble shifting them, guys.
Get down and pick one up.
This is what they play in the waiting rooms from now on this episode.
Yeah.
But before we go, go see the doctor.
Go see the doctor.
Just go see the doctor.
I know we harp on about it, but you've just got to do it.
In general.
Yeah, it's a good time.
Just go, you know, like some people say people from the country are stupid.
Sorry, I was on my phone.
I might go after this.
Yeah, yeah.
Go see the doctor.
Yeah, you know, everyone's sending photos of their boobs
and their balls to people.
You might as well get the ultrasound person to do it.
Get a real blurry one that makes a sound.
That's a good app.
Send an X-ray to someone. Yeah makes a sound. That's a good app. Send an x-ray to someone.
Yes.
That's a good app. It takes a dick pic that gets sent to you unwontedly and forwards it to
a medical professional.
Then get back in touch with the sender.
That'd be funny if you sent a dick pic of your balls
and then someone goes,
oh man, you should get that checked out.
I think that probably does happen.
Yeah, yeah, I do too.
I reckon that does happen a fair bit.
I haven't seen a Ben like that before in ages.
I imagine that you're a porn star.
It's like, I think I saw an anal polyp in there
when you were popping it up to fucking Kaiser.
I didn't want to stop the shoot because I'm a professional.
We're really in the moment.
All right, we'd better wrap it up for another week.
Ben Lomas, Nick Capper, thank you very much for joining us.
Thanks for having us.
Thank you.
You guys both have podcasts.
Ben, you've got Fitbits.
Yes, go check it out with Mandel.
And I've got the Phone Hacks podcast.
And I've also got Flat Stick with Brett Black.
And tomorrow, well, today, when this gets released,
we are releasing a shower beer holder called No Dorks.
It's for those that want to have a beer in the shower.
We started this in lockdown, and to be honest, I thought Brett would get disillusioned and forget about it.
But no, he hasn't.
Yeah.
And now we've got shower beer holders and T-shirts.
A T-shirt drawn by me of an EB Falcon with a machine gun and a snake in the back.
Sorry, just checking my watch.
He's got the result.
He's like, oh, gangrene was better than this.
Can we cut this out?
Can I take Kappa's throat while they take my leg?
And that's at nodorks my leg? And that's it.
GoDorks.com.au.
Check it out.
It's going to be great.
I'm surprised someone else hadn't bought that domain name by now.
Yeah.
Well done for getting in there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
Thanks very much for listening, and we'll see you next time.
See you, mate.
Comedy and cancer.
Yeah.
And they've done it again.
They have.
They meaning various ailments.
Yep.
To our guests.
Yep.
Diseases, viruses.
Yep.
The old Jack the Dancer.
Yep.
Rearty's little head.
Mm-hmm.
Jack's kicked a big one.
Is that the only...
A big ball.
Cap is ball.
Is that the only illness that has like a little rhyming slang like that?
I'm feeling a bit vague.
Got the Black Plague. Yeah. Is that a thing? No, but it should be like Jack the Dancer. It'm feeling a bit vague. Got the Black Plague.
Yeah.
Is that a thing?
No, but it should be like Jack the Dancer.
It should be a little character.
Right.
Yeah, a little mascot.
Yeah, a little mascot.
Right.
So, like, what rhymes with AIDS?
Metamade AIDS?
Yes, there we go.
Metamades.
Just that.
How would that work?
How would a meter maid, like a physical little cartoon character of a meter maid,
would she be the one that's bowling the ball down the bowling alley
instead of the Grim Reaper, like on those old AIDS ads?
Well, no.
So it's like a meter maid.
They go and put money into people's parking meters that are expired.
They're going – they're like Jill the meter maid, let's call her,
the AIDS one.
It's like, yeah, they're going and looking at the meter
and it's like expired and they're just not topping it up.
Oh, that's the thing.
Or they're hacking, they've got like two hours left on it
and they hack in and they like crank it forward.
They're putting dirty syringes in the parking meter.
Yeah, they're bumming the parking meter.
They're having unprotected sex with the parking meter.
Right.
They're putting their little coin-like dick.
Exactly.
This meter maid is putting her coin-like dick
into a parking meter.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay, we've got that sorted.
Anyway, hope our guests get well soon.
A lot of respect we have for their various complaints.
Yeah.
Very nice of them to come on and let rip.
Yeah.
About a serious matter, but fuck.
You've got to laugh, don't you, Tommy?
You sure do.
Especially when you're me and you haven't had any of those things.
Yeah.
When are you going to hurry up and get a serious illness?
You're due.
I guess.
Law of averages.
Yeah.
What's the worst thing I've had, I think?
I was shitting blood there for a little while. I i did get quite nothing ever came of that i'd sort it out yeah i can't remember what i
did to sort that out i think i just i think i wasn't drinking enough no i i went to the doctor
but i think they were just like yeah i think you just haven't been drinking enough water or
something okay yeah and also that was a bit of an old man thing where it was like yeah yeah, your arsehole's going to tear a bit if you don't drink enough water
or fucking something.
Yeah.
I do like how that's like an aging injury.
Like when I've torn my calf a few times, it's like, oh, yeah, old man.
That's the old man complaint.
Your arsehole's just going to rip open from time to time.
Yeah, but the calf is the old man injury.
It's like, you know, and your arse as well.
You know when your arse bleeds?
Old man. Just your sloppy old man shits are even going to be too much for it. It's like, you know, and your ass as well. You know when your ass bleeds? Old man.
Just your sloppy old man shits are even going to be too much for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's just going to fucking disintegrate like paper mache.
Oh, just seeing someone walk along and just seeing their pants from the back
filling up with blood going, that guy's getting on a bit.
Wow.
Yeah.
He looked quite young from the front.
Yeah.
Still got all his hair.
Yeah.
No wrinkles, but it must all be Botox.
Yeah.
Just shitting like he's 60. Yeah. He's not his hair. No wrinkles, but it must all be Botox. Yeah. He's shitting like he's 60.
Yeah.
That's not a, that's not, he's not in year 12, that's for sure.
He's a, he's no spring chicken.
That guy with the completely red asshole.
Yeah.
Um, yeah.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see if I can rustle something up for the 500s.
Yes, that would be great.
Yeah.
Huge announcement.
Yeah.
You come out with a drip attached to your arm.
Yeah. No spoilers. Huge announcement. Yeah. You come out with a drip attached to your arm. No spoilers.
Save it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I told you guys.
I promised you something.
And that's it.
I've got Legionnaire's disease.
What is Legionnaire's disease?
I don't really know.
Something to do with the lungs, isn't it?
Because I remember it's always something to do with air conditioning and stuff.
Like there was some bullshit in the air conditioning.
But it's one that people don't get anymore, right?
Well, people got air conditioning still, so I don't know.
It's some sort of like...
So the solution hasn't been to fix the thing in air conditioners that makes you get sick.
Yeah.
Look, I haven't heard of it for a long time.
But when people were getting ill from asbestos and they're like, hey, I wish there was a
way of not having these things in roofs, but we're just powerless against it.
There's nothing we can do.
Is it one of those things like chicken pox? Is is it it's one of these like an ad for the vaccine guys that's
why we don't have legionnaires disease anymore because we've got the the legionnaires disease
vaccine yep as much as you want to um that's why we all check in at the pub and we have the little
hat with a flap on the back of it icon just to prove that we've got yeah no you check in at
your friend's air conditioner when you're around there in summer you have to like so then if they go hey bad news i got legionnaires
from my air conditioner right so you'd better check because you've probably got it too it's
one of those probably one of those ones that gives you legionnaires it's one of those things like
covid where they get scared where it's like we're going into winter months that's what going to be
when it's worse summer summer's legionnaires. I'd stay outside if I was you.
Yep.
That's why, you know, a lot of people are, you know,
they're pissed off in Melbourne at the moment.
We're getting close to summer.
But still, we're wearing jumpers and jackets.
It's been freezing this week.
Yes.
But not me.
Keep that risk of Legionnaires in faith.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, yeah.
You're keeping the little podcast studio in here
like the Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theatre.
Exactly.
Keeping the comedy fresh in here. And keeping our lungs cleanman's ed sullivan theater exactly keeping the comedy
fresh in here and it's keeping our lungs clean exactly that's au natural i'm not having to turn
on that bad boy to keep the climate down in here yeah mother nature doing that all by herself
appreciate it we have been close contacts of um kappa who with cancer and lomas with whatever
the fuck was wrong with him again i can can't remember. Necrophilia.
He fucked the dead corpse of his comedy career and got sick.
He's addicted to rooting dead people.
And he had to go in and have an operation to get it taken care of. Yeah.
He had his operation at the morgue.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where it was stuck.
Now, do we have an ad or something that we're meant to be doing here?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I believe you've got it in your hands.
I thought we were going to run it in the main app, so I don't know.
Yeah, well, I've got it, and I think it's unfair to say a fair bit of work went into
it, but some work did go into it.
Okay.
And, well, I've got it.
I've been sent it, and I assume they want it played?
Yeah, well, that was the conversation.
Blake, you wanted to be on the show.
Kappa, he was on recently.
So I was like, no, you don't need to be on the show.
Kappa's going to be on.
Like you said, you've given a little plug for their little,
well, like Kappa said, they've got a plug for their little new range.
Yep.
Well, I mean, I guess the ad will speak for itself.
I thought we were going to riff off it in the main show.
Well, I just got sent it at like midnight last night.
Right.
No idea what it was.
Right.
No context of what was going on.
Right.
But I've got to, look, I'll drop it in.
Okay.
I've listened to it.
Okay.
There's not that much to riff on.
Right.
It's what you'd expect.
It's the two of them doing an ad.
Right.
Okay.
But anyway, here it is.
Okay.
G'day, legends.
It's headline comedian Brett Blake
and headline comedian Nick Capper,
and we have just bought an ad
off the Dum Dum Club.
Yes.
The soundtrack by Funky Bunny.
The bunny that beat Carl
in Australia's Got Talent.
Man, he's pretty good.
He's fucking shredded.
Who do you reckon, now we've got this ad space,
we can just do whatever the fuck we want in this time.
Who do you reckon would win out of a fight between Carl and Tommy?
I think the world would win.
If they both died.
If they both punch each other at the same time and explode it?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
I would like Tommy to win because I know, like,
just imagine, like, being bashed by a dude with a Pokeball or some shit
and then you just see a guy walk off in Birkenstocks.
What the hell is a Pokeball?
I don't know.
He's into the Pokemon.
You know that Pokeball?
It's like Pikachu.
I choose you and you throw it.
It's a Pokeball.
He's got a Pokeball in his house, you fucking idiot.
Well, I don't know.
Isn't that a Pokeball ball?
We're running an ad.
We're running an ad.
We've got to tell them about it.
How much time have we got left?
We've got a new...
How much time do we pay for?
We've got 50 seconds.
We've got 50 seconds left.
He'll probably be angry if we...
Yeah.
How do you reckon you're going on this episode?
Do you reckon you're bombing?
I reckon I'm crushing it.
Okay.
Probably Lomas is letting the team down.
Oh, is Lomas on?
Yeah, I think so.
I thought it might be COVID Danny McGinley.
Anyway, we've got a new product called, we're at nodorks.com.au.
It's a new brand that we released.
Check out our Instagram.
We've got Shower Beer Holders, Nick.
Oh, yes.
What else have we got?
Shower Beer Holders.
And we've got a t-shirt that's drawn by me, an EB Falcon with a snake and an Uzi.
Ben, what else could you possibly want?
Oh, man. Please head over to nodorks.com.au. Check out all our products. Falcon with a snake and an Uzi. Ben, what else could you possibly want?
Please head over to nodorks.com.au.
Check out all our products.
Please buy them.
We've sunk a lot of money into this, and we could end up being bankrupt.
You're a person.
You listen to podcasts.
It's time to get cool.
With a snake with a fucking Uzi.
It's time to get those dicks hard and get those pussies wide on.
They're going to delete all this.
But anyway, head to nodorks.com.au or at nodork69 on the Instagram.
Peace.
Peace.
And we're back.
Okay, that was great.
I haven't heard it, but what he told me this morning when he sent it to you,
I don't know, because I'm going back and forth with him, and then he goes, yeah, cool, I sent it to Tommy.
Okay, I don't know why you would do that.
Yeah.
But then he described it.
Because I'm the one that's going to have to put it into the show.
Sure.
But then I talked to him about it and he said,
I suggested, I'll do it this way.
And he's like, oh, I've done it a completely different way.
Oh, well, I guess just do whatever you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And what are we getting for this well look i
think i think the thing was that those cunts need all the help they can get and blake you want to
plug it i said you know what let's meet in the middle cap is going to be on it i bet he'll forget
to do it or he'll do a very bad job of plugging it so just record something entertaining that we can play with and riff off and whatever and they've just done that instead yeah yep we'll
check it out nodorks.com.au yep yep an offshoot of the other flat stick thing that isn't particularly
built up as a brand for some reason there's a brand off the back of a brand that's not very
big which is kind of you could, an offshoot of this.
I don't fucking know.
I don't know what the fuck they're thinking.
But,
you don't need to know
all that brand bullshit.
Like,
I don't know what the fuck
they did in that ad,
but it's cool.
It's a stubby holder
in the shower.
Yeah.
It's fun.
Little products.
Are we getting,
we should get one of these
for free,
I reckon.
Yeah.
Oh, look.
I'd like a little,
I'd like a little suck.
I don't need a, I'd like a little suck from the boys
I don't need a free one
You know I'm happy to
You know
Just pay
Absolute cost price
Two cents from China
Happy to chip in
I'd like to be paid
In order to have one in this house
As an influencer
I think they should be sending me money
To talk about it
And you do
A lot of
Content from the shower
I do
Yeah
Your nightly live insta
Yeah When you're scrubbing away And you have your little Chat As your lot of content from the shower. I do, yeah. Your nightly live Insta.
Yeah, yeah. When you're scrubbing away and you have your little chat as you...
My little bath time chat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where you pull someone up live at about 10.25 and you're talking to...
Yeah, I've got all my little toys and people send me money and dictate which of them goes
up my ass while I'm in the tub.
You treat yourself like a little money box and if they send you five bucks,
you put five $1 coins up your ass.
A little piggy bank.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
That's what they call me.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
I would be donating 50 cents a night because I just want to see that big old
bevel-edged coin go straight up your dot hole.
Yes.
Yes.
The little rubber ducky absolutely swimming around up in the day.
I have been in that tub a lot in lockdown, though.
Have you?
In all sincerity, yeah.
Great little lockdown activity.
Running a bath.
Real good.
I've been having a few baths, which is very rare for me,
but only because my child has to have a bath.
She's a big one at the moment for you have to be in the bath with me
and you have to watch me sleep.
So it's been a rollicking two weeks.
It's been quite a shithouse two weeks.
I've been up since 4.30 this morning.
Right.
Yeah.
Bath time, bedtime.
Yeah.
Doing it all.
Yeah.
Just, yeah, who cares?
But, yeah, it's not as much sleep these days.
Had it too good for too long, it's not as much sleep these days.
Had it too good for too long, to be quite honest.
Yes, yes.
So what have we got? Looking forward to
what's it called? Heathcote. Yep.
That's the next cab off the rank. Yep.
In a little under a month,
our live
comeback.
Been quite a while.
Like we said, the big 500th
believe it or not
it's actually happening
it's under two months away
I can't believe
it's actually going to happen
and it's nearly sold out
and people are buying tickets
nearly every day
at the moment
like people have
found
refound the faith in us
know it's going to happen
things are opening up
properly
and people are
fucking realizing that there's a chance they might miss out on this shit so they're getting into it
so please don't be one of these absolute fools and uh become involved in our little um celebration
yeah also we'll we'll have to uh solidify this plan that we had months ago that we're going to
do like our little after party. Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's still a thing, I believe.
We haven't talked about it, but I presume we will still do that.
I guess.
I think it'd be fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The space is still booked out.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, it doesn't need to be.
They can have a break if they want, but we've got the option for it.
Yeah.
So if we want to do...
We'll solidify those plans in the next couple of weeks.
And you guys want to come and have a drink and a boogie, maybe?
Yep.
We'll do a bit of disco dancing.
That'll be fun.
And yeah, like you said, Brisbane.
Don't forget, you guys, hold on to those tickets.
That's the new date, January 29.
January 29, Saturday, Jan 29.
Thank you for your patience as you've been living your lives in absolute freedom up there.
Yeah.
But we had to wait for the borders to be all okay and people to be up there and whatnot.
But, yeah, January 29, we're on.
You've all been waiting for so long.
It's like these are basically free tickets.
Yes.
It's a free hit.
Yep.
It is nice.
I bought tickets a few weeks ago to something in August of next year.
By the time that rolls around, that is going to feel like an absolute freebie.
I can't wait.
God.
That's a big ask.
It's like, am I going to want to go to this on a Friday in August?
Yeah, anything could be
happening.
Anyway, looking
forward to getting out there again and adding some more
dates on top of all of that when we
get a little bit of confirmation. Perth,
we'll have a new date soon, East
Shopefully.
And
Adelaide. Yes. Adelaide.
Coming up as well
I'm sure you guys are
Big sighted over there
To hear that
But
Closer to home
We've got to talk about
The Patreon
Patreon.com
Slash little dum-dum club
Where you can go
And sign up
And support the show
And get two
Little bonus episodes
Every week
Always great guests on them
Always a lot of fun on them
Been some rippers lately
So head on over there And that is how You can get them if you're on the $10 a month tier.
But also you go into the draw to have your name read out and immortalized in the back
end of an episode of the free Little Dum Dum Club every week.
Right up the back end.
Yeah.
Just like the coins going into Tommy's ass in the bar.
I love that you've hung on the fact that they're coins.
Yeah.
I love the idea that you're like a little piggy bank.
You're just ass up in the water, your little squiggly tail glistening up there
and just these coins dropping in live on Instagram chat.
Yeah.
Live, I should say.
Just the – I love the old
being watched by like
seven people
yeah exactly
exactly
that's
that's what I love
the idea
one of the things
that'll stick with me
from lockdown
from here is just
comedians going live
and having
11 people
early lockdown
yeah
March
everyone was trying
yeah
everyone was trying
something on like that
oh I gotta keep the ball in the air.
Got to do something.
And just the low figure.
And them being public.
And like name comedians doing it and then still no one watching.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
The idea that anyone wants to sit on Instagram and just watch something for that long too.
It's like, what, sit on, hold your phone out and just watch someone give a presentation
for an hour?
I'll look at it.
I get it if you're really into it, but there was some people doing it where I'm like, I
don't think anyone's that into watching you in that way or any way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But let's get on with some people that we are very much into, very much appreciative
of because they stoke the coals that is this fire. Yes. Let's get on with some people that we are very much into, very much appreciative of
because they stoke the coals that is this fire, this podcast, this podcast that is always
described as fire by the youths of today.
Has anyone listened to that fire podcast?
You know what?
I was over this end-ish of town.
I live in, how would you describe Hawthorne?
It's a bit of a – you would call it more suburban, I guess.
It's getting there.
It's probably like the first suburb out of the city where you're getting into suburbia.
Yes.
Because Richmond, you'd probably still class as like inner city.
Yes, you should.
But then Hawthorne is like the, that's when you're like,
because then after that you're in like, you're in Malvern,
you're in Camberwell.
Camberwell.
Yeah.
All that sort of stuff.
So you'd think it's a bit, you know, there's kids around Camberwell.
There's a couple of cool little bits and pieces.
I mean, not Camberwell and Hawthorne.
But it's not like this.
When I cross the city and come over to your neck of the woods
and it's very, you know, dense with cool little shops and whatever.
It is not like that over in Hawthorne.
I don't mind Hawthorne, but this is different over here.
So, you know, I was over this way-ish over the weekend,
and you're getting a few more people of the demo that listen to this show.
Okay.
What a horrible thing to say about this area.
I did.
You would get, I guess, recognized to some degree over here.
I think there'd be probably more people.
I get a little bit.
I haven't been recognized from the show for quite a while, I have to say.
Okay.
I mean, look, haven't been going out and fucking doing anything for months.
So that's obviously a big part of it.
Sure. I mean, look, haven't been going out and fucking doing anything for months, so that's obviously a big part of it. For sure.
But I feel like back in the day, there was like a red-hot period where,
yeah, pretty regularly I would get recognised at like bars and stuff.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it a bit.
There's quite a few listeners in Hawthorne, Richmond, so I do get it a bit.
But over here –
Maybe that's what happened.
They've all grown up and moved over to Hawthorne.
Maybe.
Settled down.
Like I've said, said you know the age of
ellis they're growing with us yeah you know we do get some newbies on board but they're growing with
us um but i was over at a bar over the weekend and uh you know you're not always getting recognized
and being someone coming up and going hey fucking podcast yeah yeah so some people a lot more subtle
i did appreciate this.
I was at a bar with friends of the show, Nick Capa,
friends of the show, Brett Blake,
friend of the show, Mike Goldstein.
And we got a photo for the gram.
We got a photo for socials.
And it was Capa's housemate, Josh, that was taking the photo.
And there was the next, the table of you, not you,
it was probably early, mid-30 guys,
were sort of watching it all happening,
sort of being a little bit too keen watching us take the photo.
And then they just, they didn't say anything to us at all.
But then when it was finished, they said to Kappa's housemate, Josh,
are you Milan?
Nice. finished they said to kappa's housemate josh are you milan nice that's the most subtle way of saying hey i listened to this podcast over here yeah do you think yeah yeah yeah that's the tell me you
listen to dum-dum without telling me you listen to dum-dum yeah and just the assumption that anyone
who's hanging out with that that says to me that those people go this cunt must only have three
friends so anyone else who's with him,
well, that has to be Milan.
There's no way it could be someone else.
Anyone that we haven't seen on stage
and know the face of.
Yeah.
Speaking of this area,
my dad was telling me
he had been around here recently
and he went for a walk down Brunswick Street
and he goes,
it's pretty rough down that other end
of Brunswick Street, isn't it?
And basically what he was commenting on
was that there's a lot of homeless people around, which there are, especially up one end of Brunswick Street, isn't it? And basically what he was commenting on was that there's a lot of homeless people around, which there are,
especially up one end of Brunswick Street,
a lot of homeless people around.
But the way he described that was he goes,
I just saw so many tramps around.
So many tramps.
That's good.
I was laughing so hard.
I was like, I can't remember the last time I heard the term tramp.
Yeah, that's good.
I guess your instinct is to go, Dad, that's not cool.
That's not politically correct. But then you think about. And it's like, I guess your instinct is to go, Dad, that's not cool. That's not politically correct.
But then you think about it and you're like,
it's so old school that it almost sounds like
it's impossible for it to be offensive.
It's good.
It's such a 1920s description of like,
I don't even picture like modern day homeless.
I picture like tuxedo that's just really like got holes in it
and really what like top hat with like the top bit flapping off it.
The bindle at the back, the spotted bindle.
Tramp.
Yeah.
Let's bring it back in both ways.
I want the homeless tramp and the lady is a.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
As a, I get what's it?
It's like loose morals.
Yeah.
It's, it's, it's what is it pre the term slut?
Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Because again, it sounds the term slut? Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
Because again, it sounds less offensive than that.
Absolutely.
In both cases, it sounds less offensive than the terms that have come after it.
Let's bring it back in both directions.
What a tramp.
Yeah.
She's a real tramp.
A real homeless, loose-moraled woman. That slut is a real tramp. A real homeless, loose-moraled woman.
That slut is a real tramp.
That homeless woman is a real tramp.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I love it.
Tramp.
Speaking of tramps, speaking of people that will do anything for money, that's us.
Speaking of people that will give us that money that we'll do anything for, this is them first came off the rank this week off the uta after the unplanned title alternator
ding ding ding number one is thank you to listener and subscriber tim unwin unwin yeah of alan and
i i presume the air of yeah'd have to think so, yeah.
The great publishing house giants.
What have Alan and Unwin put out lately?
Yeah, good question.
Let's do a Google.
What have they got on the roster?
Yeah, what's...
It's funny the idea of like being a huge,
being a big publisher head and being like,
you know, there's some like small kind of indie film distributors, like A24. I don't know if you know there's like there's some like small kind of um indie film uh distributors like a24 i
don't know if you know them but like they've got their own little kind of cult of people that are
like anything they put out is going to be great yeah so you subscribe to the mailing list and you
go these guys kind of have the Midas touch anything they put out is gallant guaranteed gold but the
idea of doing that with a with a book publisher like I simply won't read anything unless it's Penguin.
Well, yeah, exactly. Like a bit of a sub-pop, the Seattle label.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, well, everything's going to be of this sort of ilk.
If it's not Puffin, I'm not interested.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but Puffin at least, Puffin makes more sense because it's like
that's just for kids, but Ellen and I wouldn't make fucking anything. So it's like, well,
I know it's a cookbook.
I like their colouring books, so I guess I'll like their phone books.
There really is no rhyme or reason to what any book publisher is putting out.
To the untrained eye.
I like, well, look.
I've just gone on their homepage now.
They've got an Arn Doe.
They sure do.
They've got an Arn Doe called Rise of the Mythics.
Legends Unite, Rise of the Mythics 4, which, well, it says R&D on the cover,
so he's definitely written that one.
He's the number one best-selling author.
Yeah.
Is it just me or is Mythics, have they just ripped the Harry Potter font?
Look, it's similar.
They've got a bit of a –
Hang on, hang on.
You're saying something to do with R&D is ripping off something else.
Yes, yes, yes.
We heard you the first time.
I just want to go as close as I can without being liable.
That's all.
They got a bit of David Stratton in the mix.
What?
What do you mean?
Where's David Stratton?
Next to the Arndo book.
Oh.
David Stratton, my favourite movies.
Century of Films and the world's best director.
I thought when you said David Stratton, I thought you meant...
Strasberg.
Yeah.
The fucking...
The ventriloquist.
Yeah.
I was like, ventriloquist's got a book out.
That'll be fucking great.
That's not bad.
Where it's just like him...
It's ghostwritten.
Yeah, and then in italics it's like, you know, Chuck Wood saying,
oh, that's easy for you to say.
Yeah.
You never hand up your ass.
Well, I like the idea of
Ventriloquist putting out a book
that's like not written by him
it's like well this is what I do
on stage
yeah
it's ghost written by someone else
yeah exactly
it's the same deal
um
Christos
Siolkis
the author of The Slap
they got his new book
you'd have to imagine
that's a big earner for them
this is um
hang on
why are we doing this again
this is just
we're shouting out
um
Tim Unwin.
We're presuming we're doing an ad for his company.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, his family.
Oh, they put out the new Sally Rooney book, which I read, and it's great.
So they got, that's a good, that's a big one to have on the stable.
Who's Sally?
Sally Rooney, she's a, well, this might shock you, she's an author.
She's a young Irish author who's written three books now.
And yeah, this new one came out like a month ago.
Big event.
Big event.
A new Sally Rooney dropping.
Also, they've got the new Wilbur Smith book out
and he just turned into a big bit of brown bread yesterday.
Did he really?
Yeah.
Well, again, you'd have to imagine
a few post-mortem sales off the back of that.
Well, he's down at the bottom of the website.
Do they do that with music, how people will die and they've got an album 80% done?
And friends get together.
Does that happen often with books?
It's just like 80% of a manuscript didn't write an ending.
Don't worry, Chief, I'll get in there.
And then I woke up and it was all a dream just put a few pictures in the back yeah uh there was a there
was a douglas adams like you know the the the author of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
series and then about 10 years 15 years after he died they went yeah but what if he wrote another
one it's like oh is there fragments of a no no, we're just going to do another one.
We're channeling what we think he would have written.
It's like, that's quite a prediction.
Yeah, yeah.
And what, they put his name on it or they just used the IP?
Yeah, they just used it.
Yeah, yeah.
And just –
You know that thing –
The Tiger's universe.
Yeah, just that thing of like, you know, a lot of faffing about the, well, I think this is what he would have done.
It's like, I think he sort of tied that one up pretty tightly.
And that's like, you've got to be such a huge fan of that universe above all else to go in on that book.
Because it's like, yeah, it's kind of weirdly like disrespectful.
You know what I mean?
You're not like, I love the author. You're like, I love this world
and the lore of this world so much
that I don't care
if I'm desecrating the memory
of a deceased person.
I'm going in
because I want to know
what other people have done
with his vision.
Yeah.
But anyway,
Tim Unwin,
yeah,
let us know if you,
there couldn't be too many Unwins around,
surely.
No.
It's got to be.
And look, Alan Unwind, sorry, no offence,
but they're not the first people I think of.
Like, you know, when I shot my autobiography around,
they probably won't be the first people I hit up.
No.
I mean, look, and just looking on the website,
they've got a good roster, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
I wouldn't, honestly, no offence,
I wouldn't have picked that they had that good of a roster of authors.
Yeah.
So they're clearly doing something right.
But in terms of name recognition, yeah, they're pretty far down the pile.
What?
It's a shame that we got a Tim on that side of the company name
because, you know, we're pretty close to having Tim Allen subscribing to the podcast.
Yeah.
That really would have been something.
That would be.
Tell me who Sally Rooney is again.
Author.
Irish author.
But what's she famous for?
She wrote the book Normal People, which got turned into a series which is on Stan.
She also wrote a book called Conversations with Friends.
And she's just written one called, what's written one called Beautiful World, Where Are You?
Okay.
Is she like Ando?
Did she write them or not?
Yeah, she wrote them.
And this is you trying to get close to saying it
without saying it?
That was just you saying it.
No, it wasn't.
It was a question.
I put a question mark at the end.
Yeah, Sally Rooney writes her own books.
Okay, great, great. Oh, That's different to someone else I know
Who is the person that you know?
I can't remember his name now
But he was
I believe
The author of Rise of the Mythics
Written by Ando
Okay
I'm not sure of the name though
Looking forward to this being played in court
And me being subpoenaed Arndo. Okay. Yep. So I'm not sure of the name though. Looking forward to this being played in court.
And me being subpoenaed for my role in Talking Dumb Dumb this week.
Thanks, Tim.
Thanks, Tim.
Well, it wasn't me saying this.
Someone else wrote this for me.
Ah, right.
Okay.
This is the ad for No Dorks. Yeah.
Thanks, Timmy.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Georgia Latham.
Okay.
Oh, no.
Another infamous surname.
Oh, no.
And in relation to the great statesman,
one of the great labor leaders of recent times, Mark Latham.
Yeah.
Turned.
What the fuck happened there?
Turned, fell off out of a window, off a ladder onto his head, I presume. Yeah. Turned... What the fuck happened there? Turned, fell off out of a window, off a ladder onto his head, I presume.
Yeah, that was a really...
That seemed like that...
That really snuck up on me, to be honest.
I remember back in the day, it was like, yeah, we like this guy.
And then all of a sudden, it was like, oh, no, he's fucking crazy.
I missed all the in-between.
I missed the gradual...
Yeah.
I missed the origin story.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's tough to sort of figure out
like to listen to someone just to back up their craziness like how do you go from the leader of
the left to just like a shit kicker on the extreme far right of politics yeah something
your wife has to leave you or something doesn't't it? Is that what has to happen? I mean, there are people that change their vote.
Like they don't align with one party for their entire life.
But if you work for the party at a certain point and are the leader of it,
you would assume that that's set in stone forever.
But in 10, 15 years, he just keeps going more right and right and right and right and right
yep it's like he's he's literally there's nowhere left to go yeah he's he's literally going to try
and bomb um uh you know some sort of aboriginal settlement at some point in the next couple of
years like he can't go he's gonna try and commit genocide or something yeah he keeps going right
at this trajectory.
Well, hey, presumably we're talking about this woman's father who supports the show.
So let's not go too hard on her family.
She doesn't want to pay to then sit there and hear this kind of stuff about her dad.
Yes, but we're presuming that because she supports this show, we mean, we are pretty clear on our thoughts
of no genocide.
Yeah.
So if you support this show,
you'd like to think that your beliefs align with ours.
Yeah.
So she'd be fine with us saying,
no genocide, please.
No genocide, please.
Hey, you know what?
If you can pass it on to your dad,
please no genocide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do us a favour.
Yeah.
Play him this bit. Maybe this will win him over. Say hi to your dad yeah please no genocide yeah yeah do us a favor yeah play him this bit yeah
maybe this will win him over say hi to your dad for us yeah say no genocide to your dad for us
yeah um but yeah oh god again another maybe this is for the you know what this might be a little
a little you know three minute four minute little interview for our upcoming documentary about what
it's like to live with these um weird surnames Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not Georgia in particular, but maybe, you know, along with when we interview people
like Johnny Cocksucker, we interview someone called Gary Liberace, where the sort of the
angle is, what's it like to grow up with this famous surname that you're not aligned to,
that you're not actually related to that person?
So what?
What was it?
Johnny Liberace.
Yeah, yeah.
He's the straightest man.
Or Gary Liberace.
Gary Liberace is the straightest man who ever lived.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's the owner of a gym in Darwin and his name's Gary Liberace.
Gary Liberace and he's just a real hound.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Puts him away.
Yeah.
He's never even seen his own dick. Yeah, yeah. And he's just a real hound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Puts him away. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
He's never even seen his own dick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When he's nude, he keeps away from a reflective surface because he wants to be a gold star
hetero.
Yes.
I've never seen any cock on TV, not even my own in real life.
Never.
I never look down.
Never masturbated without a glove on.
Yeah.
Just so he doesn't have to touch it himself.
Yeah, yeah.
And if he does, he sort of just covers up the palm and he paints his nail polish
so it looks like it's a lady's hand.
Right, right, right.
But even that, that's once a year on his birthday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there's a lot of like burning the clothes that he was in afterwards
and having a cold shower.
Yeah, he sits on his hand for like three days to make sure it's nice and numb.
It's on the verge of sort of turning black.
And then he goes, all right, that's nearly dead.
I can't feel anything.
Then jerks off with the nail polish on it.
Which is essentially the most straight thing you can ever do.
Yes.
Can you tell me if you've ever heard this somewhere?
Because I said this to someone the other day, a comedian,
and they were like, you could tweet that or do that on stage.
And I was like, I swear that someone said that already.
Is this about the black box in the plane?
No.
that on stage and i was like i swear that that's someone said that already is this about the black box in the plane no this is um i sit on my own dick so that when i jack off it feels like i'm
jacking off someone that's funny yeah that's funny that but that feels like something that
must have been tweeted or said or something i agree i i'm not taking any credit away i would
not dare to think that i was the first person to think up an angle as funny as wedging your own dick under your ass so that you can sit on it and make it numb.
I'm saying that's very funny, but I also agree that there's a big chance it's being thought of just because it's a trope that has been examined from many angles before.
Well, literally all it is is just taking a very well-known thing and just reversing it.
Yes.
So it's not like there's any great fucking architecture going on there.
Yeah, it's still funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
All right, I'll try it tonight.
Yeah.
Actually, I think it's – I think I actually – I do remember.
I think I read it in Rise of the Mythics published by Alan and Anwen.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Right, so I would be stealing it from another comedian.
Whoever wrote that.
From comedian Anwen.
From whoever wrote that.
I'd be stealing it.
No, not from him.
From whoever wrote that book.
But no, he wrote it.
From whoever wrote that book.
No, whoever wrote that book.
Well, I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
Whoever wrote that book.
Is this the new Who's On First?
Yes.
Rolls off the tongue.
Yes.
The old routine
Who wrote
Rise of the Mythics
Volume 5
Hey it's great to be here
Yeah you know that
That thing
The stranger
Where you sit on your own hand
And it goes numb
Yeah
So it feels like you're being
Jerked off by someone else
Yeah
I got bored of that
So what I've been doing
Is my own twist on it
I sit on my own cock
Yes So that when I jack off It feels like I'm jacking off Someone else Yep a thought of that so i've what i've been doing is my own twist on it i sit on my own cock yes
so that when i jack off it feels like i'm jacking off someone else because i'm gary liberace
imagine that's a great example of a bit where you go you just you picture it in your head and you go
this will kill yeah it's kind of crass yeah but people will get into that yeah and then it gets
nothing oh i've done and you're just up there, it's like it's so much worse when it's like,
if it's anything even slightly disgusting or sexual, you're going,
yeah, and then I fucking put my fucking dick in there.
And just absolute silence is like, wow, not only am I not funny,
I'm a reprobate, I'm demented, I'm sick.
I've done that where I've gone, I've tried new jokes and I've gone,
well, this is clearly just funny and I'll get a response. I don't love it. I'm notmented. I'm sick. I've done that where I've gone, I've tried new jokes and I've gone, well, this is clearly just funny and I'll get a response.
I don't love it.
I'm not proud of it.
Right.
But I'll just chuck it in there because it will definitely work.
It's shocking and that can be funny.
Yeah, and then you get up there and go, oh, now I feel like dog shit
and everyone else thinks I'm a cunt and I don't like this either.
Yes, yes.
It's an absolute loss on every level.
Yeah.
It's like imagine to put for the listener who doesn't do stand-up,
put yourself in the position of like Carl's story of having to shit in the street.
Imagine you're doing that in front of a room full of strangers
and no one is laughing at you.
Yes.
That's the prime example.
You'd come up with a – you'd go, oh, this is absurd.
I've got to tell this on stage.
Yes.
And something about you're midway through describing backing one out in a side street on a footpath.
Yeah.
And in your head you're thinking, here it comes, here it comes, and then just silence and going, oh, I've just got to finish telling the story.
And it's not going to get a laugh.
So just so you know, you're describing when I told this story to my wife after I did it.
Right.
That's how that's going.
Went a lot better on the podcast than it did just one-on-one at home.
Yeah.
So you tested it out.
It bombed.
I had to punch it up a little bit after that.
Yeah, okay.
That's good motivation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But anyway, thanks, Ms. Latham.
Thanks, Georgia Latham, for all of what you inspired there.
Oh, my God. No, you know what? I'm going to save that one. Fucking hell. Latham for all of what you inspired there oh my god
now you know what
I'm going to save
that one
fucking hell
nah do it
no no
I'll save
I'll just
we'll do
that as number
four I think
okay
we'll just do
this one as number
three
alright alright
my god
that's a
there's a juicy
one coming up
alright that's good
well I hope
that's good to know
because it doesn't
matter what this
next one is
yeah well look just you know what?
This name here, thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Nick Jones.
Now, this is like, you know, Nick Jones, good on you.
It's a name I could live with having.
That's fine.
But considering what's coming up, this is like you're making love to your long-term partner
and you're thinking of someone else.
That's what we're doing at the moment with Nick Jones.
Well, I mean, it's different for you because you've got the other name in front of you.
You've seen it.
So you're actually thinking of someone you find hot or a past conquest or whatever.
Me, I don't know what it is.
So I'm making love to my long-term partner.
I'm just picturing a hot, amorphous blob.
Just pretend you're Ben Lomas as described earlier in the episode
where he's happy to sit in a fucking white room
and just jack his dick to nothing.
Okay, yeah.
That's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I'm like, I'm in the Matrix in that big white room
and I'm just, I'm making it more white.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're just masturbating to nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you ever done that?
I can't imagine ever doing that.
You mean like not thinking of anything?
Just purely on texture, I guess.
Well, I guess then it gets into kind of weird territory
where presumably you're masturbating to
and getting off on
the very idea
of yourself masturbating
which is a sort of
a pretty disturbing
like feedback loop
to be trapped in.
Like you're going
yeah this is so fucking sexy
what I'm doing right now.
Yeah.
Pulling my fucking pud
in my shower.
Yeah.
Wife's beating on the door
going it's been 45 minutes
not even hard yet.
God, this is arousing.
Anyway, that's Nick Jones.
That's Nick Jones.
That's what he does.
NIC, by the way.
Oh, I was about to say I know a Nick Jones.
But to presume that it's the same one would be absurd.
NIC, as in like, you know, when you have an open mic.
It's never like open mic,-i-k-e it's open m-i-c as in short for the microphone yeah so this this
this might be nike jones well his name might be nicrophone oh yeah which as i'm saying it sounds
sounds off not be might be microphone though so it's Nike oh yeah
okay
Nike Jones
yeah
Nike Jones
yeah
Nike Jones
microphone
yeah
yeah
open Nike
open Nike
open Nike Jones
why is there
so yeah
obviously MIC
is yeah
shortening of
microphone
but then you do
also see it
spelt
M-I-K-E
sometimes
rarely
yeah
I think
I think
MIC
you see a lot
more
when you see
open mic spelt it's MIC generally these days I think yeah I don't think mic you see a lot more when you see open mic spell it's mic generally
these days i think yeah i don't i don't see it m-i-k-e but um i do like the idea that this guy's
name is nike that people call him if you like he's gone you know what he's done the whole you know
his name's nicholas yep instead of calling himself nick because it's like well why have i got a k
there's no k in Nicholas. Yep.
Okay,
I'm going to do the abbreviation NIC,
and all these mates go,
well, I see that,
and I raise you.
Your name's now Nike.
Yeah,
because you can't go,
I'm Nick.
Yeah.
Well,
no,
because we all know how Nick is spelt.
Yeah.
So the fact that you've done something different.
Yeah.
Ergo.
If any listeners are friends with Nike Jones,
Nike Jones. Make sure he's called that from now on.
And, you know, why not throw in a bit of his last name is Jonas instead of Jones.
Nike Jonas.
Yeah, Nike Jonas.
Jonays.
Yeah.
Yep.
Jeronays.
Is that enough?
Can we get to this other fucking name yet?
I know.
I know.
Sorry.
All right.
Here we go.
I'm busting to hear the name.
Okay.
I'm busting to go to the toot.
Yep.
I've got something to do right after this.
Okay.
Time is like I am fucking I could not be more edged.
Okay.
And tantrically ready to blow my load over this name.
That's very interesting that you put it that way, Tommy.
Yes.
Because let's read it out.
All right.
Thank you very much to Patreon.
Number four this week.
Patreon subscriber Jack Cox
Wow
Fuck yeah
It's finally happened
Jackie boy
Jack Cox
Do we end the podcast now?
Thank you to
Patreon subscriber
Jack Cox
Do we
Do we
Do we shut down
The Patreon?
Do we just stop doing it?
Cause this is
This is where All of this stems from.
The original riff of reading a name that sounds kind of funny
and saying, is this every week we're going to be supporting,
saying thanks to Jack my tiny dick off.
And now it's happened.
This is the thread closed.
We should, either we should or someone else should help us go back
and let's find the top 10 names ever that we've had on this show yeah that is that's that's got
to be number one oh there's been a couple of rippers actually there's been some awesome ones
yeah but yeah jack the hall of fame pared it down you cannot do that much you cannot do better than
this name in that many letters. Honestly, there is no
point in ever going on with this segment.
That's it. It is so pared down and
so perfect for this segment.
A listener of our show is
called Jack Cox.
Is this a put on you thing? It's not even one cock.
It's multiple cocks and jacks.
It's so good. This seems
too good to be true. Fuck. Now I've got to
fucking research it. This seems too good to be true. Fuck. Now I've got to fucking research it.
This seems too good to be true.
No.
Fuck.
Don't take this away from me.
I just don't, you know.
Fuck.
I want to believe.
Don't get me wrong.
Yeah, I know.
But I also, you know, I've been burnt before.
All right.
Good things like this just don't happen, you know. Yeah, you're right.
This is too good to be true.
Hang on. Pinch yourself. Okay. Pinch you. Get off your dick that is falling asleep. It's like this just don't happen, you know? Yeah, you're right. This is too good to be true. Hang on.
Pinch yourself.
Okay.
Pinch you.
Get off your dick that's fallen asleep.
It's gone numb.
Yeah, and black and pinch it.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
Look.
You found him?
My first little bit of investigating is there's one big red tick.
Yeah.
Which is, I just looked up what his email address is and it sort of checks out.
Okay.
Which holds up in court, I believe.
Yep, yep, yep.
Now, let's go to the millionaire group on Facebook and see if he's in there somewhere.
See if we can do a bit of intel through his personal account.
Let's have a look and see if Jay Cox turns up there.
There he is.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
Well, that's his name on Facebook.
Okay.
Let's go to his profile.
View main profile.
Don't mind if I do, Jack.
How many photos has he got?
He's got an absolute whopper of a profile picture to start with.
Okay.
I mean, look, I feel like we don't need to do anything about anything else that is anything about him apart from the most perfect name of all time.
But this is his profile picture.
What the hell?
It's the worst cropped picture of all time.
What the fuck's going on there?
It's him and his girlfriend and he's cropped out both their heads so you can just see both their rigs and his girlfriend's sort of got a slightly revealing outfit on.
So it's like, oh, cheers everyone.
And then there's a dog in the bottom of the picture that's perfectly in frame.
Yes.
So maybe that's the whole point is he just wants to highlight the dog.
The only head you can see in that pic is the dog's head.
So he's a great user of Facebook and technology in general.
And that was updated.
That horrific profile pic was updated nearly five years ago.
Well, I should say it's four years ago.
And not been changed since then.
No need to alter that.
Maybe this is something that's come in where they've kind of changed the ratios of how the pics get displayed or whatever.
And that's fucked him.
I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe with a name like Jack Cox, maybe Zuckerberg himself has gone,
well, we don't need the head.
Let's just show this.
Yeah.
Well, maybe he's aware of it too.
He's just like, who gives a fuck?
No one's even looking at the picture anyway.
They're focusing on the seven letters that are next to it.
Yeah.
Let's give someone something else to focus on rather than the name.
Let's distract them with a picture rather than the beautiful four letters that they're
going to do whatever the fuck they're going to do with.
Yeah.
Jack Cox.
Do you think that's his, like when he's talking dirty to his partner,
he just goes, do my name.
Yep.
Yes?
Yep.
Great.
What a great, that's the only upside to his name.
Do my name.
Yeah, just say, just pull out his business card and then point down.
Read it.
Yeah, read it and make it weep.
But then he's made a rod for his own back because as we discussed, it's plural.
He's jacked a rod for his own back.
He's getting taken care of.
