So enjoy this.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Dave Hughes, Melanie Bracewell, Brett Blake and Josh Earle. Hey, mates. Welcome once again into the Little Dum-dum club for another week. Thank you very much for joining us. My name is Tommy Dasolo, and with me, as always, the other half of the program, Carl Chandler. G'day, dickheads. There he fucking is. Get on in.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Come on, mate. Fucking squeeze past the little props. Yeah, get in. Come on, mate. Fucking squeeze past the little props. Yeah, get in. Fuck our recorder. People at home, 50,000 people are listening to you walk across audio and going, why did we download this, you fucking dumb cunt? A beautiful recorded drunk cast. Even though it feels like a drunk cast, it's not.
Starting point is 00:03:18 This is on the record. We hope. Are we good? Are we good? Are you guys good? You guys feeling good? Honestly, honestly, I reckon we've been doing good live records and you guys have been okay. Now, I don't want to talk out of school, but they're our friends.
Starting point is 00:03:34 But do go on, do the podcast just before us. And honestly, that crowd laugh at fucking anything. So, if you could match their energy. Honestly, Matt Stewart said the words, what's a fig? It got a seven second round of applause. So let's break the record. Let's go for at least eight seconds. What's a fig?
Starting point is 00:04:02 Well done, well done, well done. Well done. All right. 23. I got to 23 seconds. Suck my dick, Matt Stewart. Do go on the end of my penis, you fucking idiot. All right, now it's a drunk pass.
Starting point is 00:04:20 See, now that should have got the seven second round of applause. That is the good stuff. That's good shit. But seriously, what is a fig? It is a great question. It's a, I don't know, it's a little nut or something, isn't it? Is it like a date? It's like you, Tommy Dasso.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It's a little fruit. I'm gay. You know what? Let's not record this. Let's just do it properly. It's going to be so much more fun if we don't have to worry about the recording. So we've been hitting up some guests, like
Starting point is 00:04:57 lining people up today. Porky pig is here. What's a fig? See you mates I texted friend of the show Dave Thornton To ask him down And I was looking at my phone going Why the fuck isn't this cunt replying to me And then I realised what I'd done by accident
Starting point is 00:05:22 Was text my best friend from high school Drew Thornton Very similar name and then I realised what I'd done by accident was text my best friend from high school, Drew Thornton, very similar name, and he's currently living down in Phillip Island and then it's like after two hours I get a reply back going like, oh, mate, I could get on the bike and probably be there by like ten if you need me. So, yeah, my best mate from high school, he's going to be on later tonight. He'll be dishing up all the dirt about me. He's seen my little penis in the locker room, so he can tell you all about that.
Starting point is 00:05:51 It's going to be really good, yeah. Bring up a few fairy penguins. Boy, you are really locked and loaded on one theme tonight, aren't you? Well, if I get another guest up here that's not like that, maybe I'll change tack. Oh, yes. Yeah, okay. Well, this is all right.
Starting point is 00:06:12 All right. This is all right. All right. All right, we've got a few guests. Should we crack on or not? Yeah, we do. Who's... I mean, we haven't talked about the order at all.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Please welcome to the stage, great friend of the show, Brett Blake! Yes! Yes, I'm around, ladies and gentlemen. What are the odds? 110% Guys, yesterday, I don't know if you know this, the award ceremony for the best of comedy and stuff was on.
Starting point is 00:06:43 The best of comedy. The best of comedy. The Gibbo, all that stuff. ceremony for the best of comedy and stuff was on. The best of comedy. The best of comedy. The best of comedy. The Gibbo, all that stuff. But I feel like someone was left out, not you Carl, you're not going to stand up. I feel like Danny McGinley was potentially ignored because he did such a
Starting point is 00:06:57 beautiful job of doing a Ukrainian fundraiser. Let's give it up for Danny everybody. Good on you. It's potentially the funniest tweet I've ever seen in my life from Danny McGinley saying, don't worry, guys, my family's safe. He's like, yeah, can't we know? You live in Brunswick.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Anyway, get him out here. Fucking idiot. Well, borders are open, Blakey. Yesterday I announced the big first Dumb Dumb Con 22. It's happening in Koh Samui. Calcella. Oh, my God. Calcella.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Calcella. Dumb Dumb Con 22. When you hear this at home, the website will be up by now, so it's confirmed. Calcella.com. No, that's not it either. Can't wait to see Carl flamboyant with glitter on his face. Yes, bitches.
Starting point is 00:07:43 I'm at Calcella. Oh, yeah. A gif of Carl flossing on the page of Carlcella. Oh, he'll be flossing, but his teeth. Anyway, he's old as shit. Old people floss. Okay. I've done a lot of market research, and I'm correct. So I'm
Starting point is 00:07:59 going back to the motherland. I'm going back to Thailand. What about you? Look, I've got some believe you? Look, I've got some believe it or not, I've got some flight credits available at the moment. Jetstar, thank you. Nice. My career is better than both of yours.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Wow, that's a true humble brag. Also, do I get paid for today? Because I am short of cash. I remember being on a Jetstar flight with you to Thailand and you were sitting opposite me in the aisle and you got on the flight immediately, your shoes came off and you started watching Wolverine on the screen.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Before we'd even started taxiing across the runway, I was like, this cunt gets down to business. I love it. That's actually incorrect and that's a slur because I ordered a Bundy and Coke, then I took my shoes off. So, thank you. Sorry, my and Coke, then I took my shoes off. So thank you. Sorry, my lord. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I will glass you. But I got a credit, because I had a Mexican standoff with Jetstar. I was like, man, if you think you can fucking take down a low breed, welcome to my world, you fuck. I've been to court upwards of 14 times, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:03 You are the Jetstar of comedy. So it's a fair fight. I'm frequently known as Jetstar Cody. Really hurts, guys. Hey, you know... That's officially better than the fig. Has no one said this? Brettstar.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Oh, nice. There we go. Your brother. There we go. You got it. There we go. You got it. There we nice. There we go. Your brother. There we go. You got it. There we go. You got it. There we go.
Starting point is 00:09:28 There we go. There we go. Yes. Fuck that fig. Fuck that fig. Kill ourselves. Kill ourselves. You've got to get that
Starting point is 00:09:36 I can't wait to see an image of that tomorrow by someone of you fucking nerds. Anyway. Get it? You're a dumb cunt. Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Fuck heads. Anyway, so I had You're a dumb cunt. Yeah, I do. Fuckheads. Anyway, so I had a Mexican stand-off with Jetstar because they go, during the pandemic, and they go, hey, just so you know, because I was going to Bali. Nice. Hang on, hang on. Let's all soak that in for a second.
Starting point is 00:10:02 For the 15th time. And believe it or not, it was a family get-together. What are the odds? 110%. So we had the flights booked in, and they emailed us, because obviously the pandemic happened, and they go, hey, hey, you can get a credit. Did someone just say what?
Starting point is 00:10:25 The pandemic, the what? Oh, wow. I'm glad there's someone who's dumber than me. Someone in the front row has been walking around for two years going, where is everyone? It's good to see someone has worse sleeve tattoos than me as well. That's really good. I think I've offended all my friends.
Starting point is 00:10:42 They don't want to come round to my house. What's going on? So Jetstar emailed me going, hey, the flight's still on. I know there's an apocalypse going, but the flight's still on and we can only offer you a flight credit. Oh, so this is like, what, a year ago or something like that? No, two years ago. When the first pandemic hit and they go, we don't do refunds.
Starting point is 00:11:04 We only do credits that last like a year. And I was like, well, sorry, I've just gone through all your policy. I know it took me five days. I can't read.
Starting point is 00:11:15 But I got my lawyer hat on. I said, with Jetstar, the fine print's still probably 15 points. Yeah, man. Okay. If you actually click
Starting point is 00:11:22 on the fine print of Jetstar, it just goes straight to Pornhub. Just an arsehole getting penetrated, and they go, that's you. And anyway, so after I lost my boner, I started investigating. So according to their company policy, if they don't cancel the flight, they don't have to refund you. But there was no way you could go to an airport because of the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:11:52 They weren't going to, like, you know, fly the plane. It was like a month away. So every day they'd send me home, and, hey, mate, do you want a credit? And I'd be like, nah, I'm good. And they'd go, mate, we'll give you 25% extra on your credit. I go, nah, nah, nah. I'll be there.
Starting point is 00:12:11 I'll be at the airport. And at this point, you're not allowed to go to another suburb, let alone another country. Couldn't leave 5Ks out. I said, boys, this is in my 5K zone. I'm ready to go. Yeah, exactly. Not Bali.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Telemarine. The woman doing the check-ins is my bubble buddy it's gonna be fine i'll see you there yeah i'm yeah they go oh look like it was like four days out they go serious you can get a credit and we'll give you the food voucher and i go no no no no no no i'm good i'll be there i hate eating i'll be too busy watching wolverine with my shoes off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No appetite for me. I was like, if you think I won't rock up to the fucking airport to get my full cash refund, you are fucking wrong, you dogs.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And I got an email which started going from a generic one to someone specific called Sam. Big Sammy. And I loved it. And he goes, mate, just so you know like you know the plane got like you could lose money and I go
Starting point is 00:13:08 nah I'll be there I'll be at the fucking airport you tell the captain I'll be mate you might be the only it's dangerous I said yeah I've worked at an airport before
Starting point is 00:13:17 I know the risks I will be there with my fucking luggage ready to go and an hour before the flight Sam goes, okay, you win, here's your money back. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Never come as a king, you fucking rat. That's awesome. You won the Balinese standoff. That's great. And what did you do when that $80 found its way back into your account? Tommy, it was actually $72. Can we get another? We've got some big name guests that need to be on rather than Who's waiting there, who's next up
Starting point is 00:13:51 I saw I saw someone there waiting Oh there we go, there we go Please welcome to the stage Melanie Bracewell Yes Fuck, they got more than the fig. It's huge. If you've got any fig humour, it's going to kill in front of this crowd. We've primed them up beautifully for you.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, I'm so glad to be here. I choked on calamari at dinner. Yeah, I was, like, saying to you when you got here, I was like, oh, how have you been since, you know, recovering from COVID? And you were like, yeah, nearly died at dinner from choking on calamari. I'm like, I don't know that you can blame that on COVID.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I was with one of my friends who's not good in a crisis. And you decided to gag on calamari? Did you say calamari? Calamari. Halfway through that, I realised I had a lot of beers. Yeah, it was still in the haka as it was going down her throat. That's why she choked on it. Calamari.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I wanted you to feel more like at home, Melanie. I'm so sorry. So there was a bit of gristle on the calamari. Yeah. And so, oh yeah, I know. Few fans in the audience. And so I was choking and my friend went, do you want me to do something?
Starting point is 00:15:20 And I was like, yeah. I couldn't say anything. He's like, should I pat you? And so he gave me a few light taps. And then I saw him gesture to the waiter who was like, yeah, I couldn't say anything. He's like, should I pat you? And so he gave me a few light taps. And then I saw him gesture to the waiter who was like, oh, is she okay? He was like, she's fine. As if I was just doing it just for the drama. That's brutal that the waiter's like, this woman is choking
Starting point is 00:15:41 and her useless friends are doing nothing about it. I'd better step in and perform the Heimlich. And then I was like, you know, my life flashed before my eyes. I thought, oh, you know, I might not have much time on this earth. I could die at any moment. What should I do with my time? Probably a podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:58 A little dum-dum club. Let's meet Tommy Dasolo in real life for the first ever time. That'll be fucking great. Yeah, we've been whacked a lot of times and halfway through that set up I'm like, we're getting whacked here. A huge run-up for Melanie Bracewell. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:15 We get it, we get it, we're shit. They are. Anyway, yeah. It's nice when someone gets it so quickly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, I'm having such a bad time, I start eating more calamari. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Get me some more of that. It's in small pieces, so she's trying to push it down the wrong pipe. I'd rather die. Do they serve it here? If you do die, your last flashback has been on this pot. Oh, yeah. Do you guys serve calamari here? You do die. Your last flashback has been on this pod. Oh, yeah. Do you guys serve calamari here?
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah. If we could... The guy behind the bar is going to look at the menu. They're like, we've only got figs. Yeah. A little fig and calamari platter. Yeah. The two funniest foods of all time.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Absolutely. That's worth finding out. Yeah. I don't think we're going to find a third funnier food than that. Yeah. What do you think?'re going to find a third funnier food than that. Good night. The end. When we find a third funny food, that's the rule of three.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Then we wrap the podcast up for this evening. Calamari, fig and? Oh, God. No. No. Not inherently funny. Depends how you eat it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:26 It's on the consumer, not the product itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't count. Yeah. And I swallow them whole. What do you do? You what? You build them a rat. Brother, if you're going to try and be funny, do it well.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Also, which is a note you could say to me in about half an hour when all the drugs kick in. What's coursing through your system, Brett? What have you got? I knew a few people were waving at me because they've given me some stuff. Tommy, I'm just actually high on life and the enjoyment of the festival. Thank you guys.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I love positivity and comedy. It's just good to be around such a great community of can't do shit on you. I'm on ketamine. I hear that's good. I feel like we should get another guest on just in case he's still here because he was here and I just hope he hasn't left.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Let's get him on in case he's here. Oh, there he is, there he is, yeah. The king. The king. Oh, the great man. The great man. Oh, my God. Please welcome back into the little dum-dum club, Dave Hughes.
Starting point is 00:18:39 And also, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you know this, but this man has just came second in the South Yarra Tan Run today with a crazy time of 16 fucking minutes, which none of you fat nerds would understand. So give it up for Dave Hughes, everybody. What a fucking athlete. Yeah, I'm a runner. I am a runner.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I don't look like a runner, but I fucking run. You see me on the street Don't you keep going easy What the fucking else would I be doing? Stopping and buying a new house Imagine being dumb and rich and having a house Seriously, can I rent off you? You actually can. I don't think I can afford the block house.
Starting point is 00:19:29 No, I've got a block of flats. I love you straight away. Does anyone want to live in South Caulfield? I had a rental report today. I got a block of eight flats in South Caulfield, Virginia Court, and we had a rental report. I got it in today. I can't go.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I reckon they're really on your side. I've actually never seen you lose a crowd until now. Guys, you are the best audience ever, and I really love you. I'll be happy to lose a crowd if I gain a fucking tenant. We had seriously, people you don't understand how hard it is for landlords at the moment. Fucking this exodus
Starting point is 00:20:15 from Melbourne is fucking cutting deep. We have, on the rental report, how many people came to have a look at this really reasonably priced two bedroom fucking flat? Zero people came to have a look at this really reasonably priced two-bedroom fucking flat? Zero people came to look at it. Every time. It's a bargain.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Every time. Right today, $300 a week. Too bad. It could be you. Man, you won me over. I'm rooting for the overdog. Every time I go to buy a fucking avocado, I stop and I think about you, Yuzi.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I would not want to take money from your pocket. I mentioned having a picture hook in my house and you strangled me. You can do whatever you like in my flat, I don't give a shit. You want to run a fucking meth lab, you run it. As long as the money's
Starting point is 00:21:05 coming in on time. As long as you pay the kids. Sorry, meth lab? Caulfield, did you say? I know some people who are me.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I don't know. What does that mean? Are you going to get in trouble now? I don't know what happened. Anyway, there we go. Well,
Starting point is 00:21:23 welcome back. The last time you sat next to Tommy it ended well I know this is this is fucking bullshit look if I
Starting point is 00:21:31 gave Tommy Dazzalo COVID he should be fucking honoured I did I felt like I had the most exclusive strain of all
Starting point is 00:21:40 can you sign he's COVID you got the Hughsy strain I've still I've still got I've still got the rat test at home can you sign he's COVID? You've got the huge strain. I've still got the rat test at home. Can you sign it? Oh, yes. Do that.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Of course I can. Like harbouring the virus was the closest you got to being a landlord. You get COVID and all of a sudden your jokes start landing. You're on the gala. You're on the fucking Masked Pega or whatever the fuck it's called. Masked Singer, right? Fucking hell. Yeah, anyway.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I had cancer and jeez, it made me angry. I had so many people send me photos of me with them. You gave me COVID. Fucking maybe you gave me COVID. Hey, maybe Aaron Chen gave both of us COVID. He was sitting next to me. Yeah, he didn't fucking cancel any of his fucking plays. In his defence, his room is that big, he's very well socially distant.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, yeah. A 900-seater every night. Fucking hell. Yeah, no, on the slow nights. Yeah, yeah. Don't talk about it. Come on, move on. Abby, was your room?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Shut up, mate. I fucking paid this room. When are you doing this room? I paid this room for a little while. I got COVID from this room right now. No, no. It's in the wall. It's your fault, Chandler, you fucking arsehole.
Starting point is 00:23:00 You owe Hughsy money. Contact tracing doesn't exist anymore, but we're bringing it back on this podcast. Mel, you got it, didn't you? Oh, yeah, I did. We're in the same room. We're in one move from here to her room, and fucking then she got it.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Can I be honest with you, Mel? No. No. Here comes creepy uncle vibes. Babe, I think you're developing quite well. Every uncle ever has said that. It's a terrible thing to say. No, this is a true story.
Starting point is 00:23:40 I didn't say it was your word. No, no. I was here with a puppeteer. Now, we've been doing a room at the Town Hall, the Supper Room, which is a lovely room, but it has no toilet in the backstage. Oh, God, no. It has no toilet.
Starting point is 00:23:54 This has got car vibes. It doesn't have a toilet, and I don't know. I am a nervous weir before I go on, and look, you don't know this. This is a true story. You, look, all right. I go on. Look, you don't know this. This is a true story. Look, alright. I would say to the bar before I went backstage
Starting point is 00:24:12 I need a paper cup every night. They had no idea why I needed it. I thought there was a stack of paper cups. And you've been drinking from them? Oh my god. Hear me out.
Starting point is 00:24:25 The bar wouldn't know why I needed them. I think they've hazarded a guess. Do you know what else is back there? You're asking for a paper cup and going, don't put anything in it. And they're like, sure, no more questions. Here's a bag of empty cans of iced coffee. Yeah, seriously, that's what ends up in the paper cup.
Starting point is 00:24:43 But, ah... So, all right, so the paper cup every night, before I went on's what ends up in the paper cup. So, alright, so the paper cup every night, I would, before I went on, I would wee in the cup and after the show I would walk out. No wonder they've moved you from Town Hall to here, you fucking grub. They moved me the other way, you fuckhead. So I would walk out
Starting point is 00:24:57 of my venue with a paper cup full of piss and some people would be lingering. Sorry, I'm the fuckhead. Some people would be lingering for a photo and I'm like, I'd have a cup of piss and some people would be lingering Sorry, I'm the fuck, Ed. Some people would be lingering for a photo and I'm like, I'd have a cup of piss
Starting point is 00:25:08 in my hand. What? Anyway, but the point of the story is so I would go straight to the toilet, pour out the urine into the sink
Starting point is 00:25:20 and then put the cup in the bin. But one night there was no paper cups and I said, I need a paper cup. And they said, we fucking don't have any.
Starting point is 00:25:28 No fucking, you're not going to say what I'm going to, I've got these glasses backstage that I drink alcohol. Oh no. Yes,
Starting point is 00:25:36 really heavy, expensive glasses. They're not, they're Kmart. Oh well, they're fucking heavy, they're like decanters, you could kill someone
Starting point is 00:25:42 with one of them. Yes, anyway. I know that now. Alright, so I, you need a decant, here're fucking heavy. They're like decanters. You could kill someone with one of them. Yes, anyway. I know that now. All right. You need a decant who's just pissed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need a Roman.
Starting point is 00:25:51 You could kill someone with one of them who's just drinking from it. One of the town hall workers said, how about Mel? She's got COVID. She's not here. Why don't you use one of her glasses? They didn't know it was to piss in. So I said, oh, she's not here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I reckon go back to talking about being a landlord. I think that's how I would refer it. No, I didn't leave the glass there. I took the glass home after I'd weed in it. I thought there was going to be... Now you're stealing from a venue. There was one using it. Don't you have enough money here?
Starting point is 00:26:25 No, but then I got, my wife had been away for Easter with the family and she got home and said, why is there a weird glass in our sink? Was there a weird yellow stained glass?
Starting point is 00:26:34 And I said, that's Mel's glass. But also, you did a marathon running today where they have little paper cups full of water.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Now, some guys will be coming behind, oh, I'm behind Hughsey, I don't mind having this yellow Powerade. There's two questions. Mel, do you want that glass back? Fuck no. I once
Starting point is 00:26:55 did the same thing at a... Your show's an hour long. Why can't you just piss beforehand? But I'm... You can't... Once the audience come in, you can't go out, can you? Yeah, but what kind of small peanut, thick-sized bladder do you have?
Starting point is 00:27:12 She said it! She said the word! Fuck yeah! What the fuck? Let's just say she's the reason why he buys a lot of big houses. I once was the I was an ambassador for overactive bladder syndrome. Seriously.
Starting point is 00:27:31 And I got really good money for it. To be honest, you've been an ambassador for a lot of things that you don't give a fuck about because you love money. Well, at the time I didn't even have overactive bladder syndrome, but as I became an ambassador and started talking about it, I developed it. Oh, okay. So now we're ableist because you pestered my glass.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Anyway. Okay. Anyway, I will keep the glass. I once did a backstage in another venue at the town hall and Pete Hellyer was on next and he drank it. That was a mistake. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:28:10 Husey loves piss. Husey loves pissing on people. No, I don't. That was anyway. So, all right. That's where the glass is, my house. I've got another story now. I was sharing a venue with Denise Scott once.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Pissed all over her. Wow, can you guys at home believe what he just said? That's fucked up. I can't believe he just told that. That's so weird. Australian icon, that's really funny. Why would you say that on a recorded podcast? That's so fucked.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I don't have to respond to that bullshit Anyway, what else is happening? Oh, okay Blakey wants to swap out for the next guest Who is... Is there someone better? No Please welcome to the stage, Josh Howell
Starting point is 00:28:59 Yes I brought some jokes with me, Carl I don't know, I was reading I was reading some jokes Do you want to hear a joke? You've got your fancy glasses on, haven't you? Here's a joke which I can't believe he's letting you still sell this I love reverse racism
Starting point is 00:29:20 almost as much as I love Asians Who said that? Oh I don't know Tommy Little almost as much as I love Asians. Who said that? Oh. I don't know. Tommy Little. Oh. What joke book is this?
Starting point is 00:29:35 What is that? The one that Carl's telling. Are you not in it? You're right. Are you in it? No, he's not in it. I'm not in it. No, your management said no. What would you 10 years ago,
Starting point is 00:29:48 what was it, roughly 10 years ago when it was published? Yeah, 11, 12 years ago. Yeah, if it had have gotten through to you, Husey, can you remember off the top of your head any bits that would have gotten in? Can you write one of your jokes in the back of it? Absolutely. Then you can be officially in Funny Book.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Yeah, I'll write snakes alive. Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Take that, pig! Why the fuck do I even bother, honestly? Do you know that joke, Mel?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Do you know it? I've denied the ball. You don't know it. Oh! I'm sorry! Yes! Alright. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Oh, sorry, I'll explain it, Mel. It's like his duck sandwich. Yes. Do you know duck sandwich? No. You're in for a treat for two of the best jokes over here. Alright. It's now a good old-fashioned joke-off.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Alright, Hughsy, your turn first. Well, I need to know that you have Snakes Alive in New Zealand. Yeah. The Snakes Alive, the jelly snakes. It's called Snakes Alive. Yeah. This is like when Chris Franklin does the bloke, but he has to explain what the song by Merrick DeBrooke sounds like first.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I remember. But this is also now we have to explain who Chris Franklin is. But the start, I thought of the Snakes Alive joke, and I thought I can never say that out loud, all right? So I sat on a... Oh, hang on. Now we're into behind the joke. This is great.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I love this. That is too embarrassing to ever say out loud. But I went on Triple M one day back in the late 90s and I had fucking nothing to say and I thought I'll throw out my Snakes Alive bit. And it fucking landed. The phone lines lit up. And so then I went on the gala that year,
Starting point is 00:31:21 the comedy gala, and it fucking landed again. My fucking show blew up after it. I've become the Snakes Alive guy. This is the joke. I bought a bag of Snakes Alive the other day and opened up and they were all dead. The great man.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Yes. Yes. Unbelievable shit. You absolutely love to see it. I am so honored to have fought COVID off this man. It is. A fucking dream come true. It is true what they said.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Comedy used to be better back then. It was. Anyway, you can read that again in a copy of Funny Bugers after the show. $20 at the door. No, there's a second half to it. They should have put some air holes in the bag. They could have grown up to be killer pythons. Wow.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Do you have killeroplasm now? I can't believe, I can't believe Snakes Alive had a sealed section. It all went out. They lost their minds so much in the first half, didn't get to the second half. I can't believe we literally booked Yuzi for this by bumping into him in the street
Starting point is 00:32:40 before the gig. Fuck me. This is the greatest night of my life. Yuzi? Yeah. He was piss greatest night of my life. You think? Yes. He was pissing into a keep cup. Hey. Dave, I did a bit of research. If you do go to New Zealand, you can't
Starting point is 00:32:56 do the second half because they don't have killer pythons. I thought you meant a real killer python. Fuck, that is good knowledge. Thank you. You thought this guy thinks that lolly snakes can turn into actual real snakes. Don't have killer pythons. If you were thinking of going to do the New Zealand gala
Starting point is 00:33:13 25 years ago, don't. I can't believe you don't have killer pythons. What? Maybe I'm not aware of them. Oh, Josh, you know. They're like big snakes. Yeah. They're real big.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Real big jelly snakes. Hugh's going to invest in killer pythons and take them over to New Zealand so that he can do the bit over there. I actually gave up killer pythons. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Because you know how tasty they are. It's fucking, yeah, you're fucking, they really put the weight on, don't they? You've quit everything. You've quit me, you've quit Grog, you fucking really put the weight on, don't you? You've quit everything. You've quit me, you've quit Grog, you've quit... Yeah, I've quit almost everything, absolutely. Yeah. Gotta quit fucking Instagram, though.
Starting point is 00:33:53 How shit is that? Just looking at it and being jealous. Please, Dave, never quit Twitter for us. Never quit Twitter. I fucked Twitter. No, Twitter can get fucked, honestly. People are nasty, aren't they? Yeah, you're one of them.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Oh, bullshit. Fucking tell the truth is what I do. Friend of the show Joe Biden thinks you're pretty mean, mate. Fucking who knew Joe Biden had a start-up, honestly? What? Did you know? Oh, you would have known Mel knows fucking everything
Starting point is 00:34:26 Everyone in New Zealand Would know Anyway He's got over though Because he He worked on it Now I'm going to get Cancelled again
Starting point is 00:34:37 It's great to be here No man You know Mel's been mean to me About the Masked Singer Haven't you? Yes Oh because your guesses are fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I was talking to one of the guys who works on the show as a bit of a producer. He's in your ear sometimes. And he mentioned as a joke in your ear, Ivan Milat as one of the singers. That's not true. And he said that you said it and went, Ivan Milat.
Starting point is 00:35:07 No, not him. How cool would that be, though? How did Lindsay Lohan go with that reference? Poor Lindsay. She was sold. Lindsay Lohan go with that reference? Poor Lindsay. She was sold. She was sold, you know. Lindsay Lohan was on the first series and she thought there was going to be all these massive stars here.
Starting point is 00:35:31 It was so sad because every head came off and she's like, who the fuck is this? And I'd be like, Lindsay, even I don't know who that is. And I live here. I'm their landlord. I don't know who the fuck they are. So, is she... Lindsay Lohan, you've been talking about it.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Was she... She's supposed to be sober, but she's... I don't like this now. Not in a podcast. You mention Lindsay Lohan on anything that's broadcast and you end up on The View. And you end up with American people looking at photos of me going
Starting point is 00:36:17 who the fuck is that guy? And it hurts my feelings. Let's go to of the territory. What about BTS? What do you think of BTS? Tee off on that. You don't mention BTS. BTS are a great band, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:36:34 We love BTS here on the Little Dumb Dumb Club. We should. Yeah, yeah. Actually, haven't we got one of the biggest fans of BTS here? Do we? No, that's IBS. It's Tommy. He's like... of BTS here. Do we? No, that's IBS. It's Tommy.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Is he here or not? Who? What? I can swap out if you like. No, no, no. No, seriously, my car's in a fucking car park. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Oh, no, you'll have to get a taxi home, get the other car, bring it in. I've got to be there before 11pm. No, you don't. Just buy the car park. That's not bad.
Starting point is 00:37:09 You should buy a car park. Good money in car parks. Yeah. Buy the car park next to Spleen. That'd be great. Then you're like a landlord of cars. No, I've thought about a car park. But are people coming back to the city?
Starting point is 00:37:23 You're asking people in the city. Yeah, but not to work. Just to have fun you'll come in, but you're not going to work in here again, are you? Fuck that. Come on, Hughsy, buy a car park, join the Melbourne club, just engage in that Melbourne CBD lifestyle, brother, get into it. Nah, it is beautiful, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yeah. Those protesters had a good all those Saturdays, they came and did that. They were protesting yesterday. There's nothing left to protest. What the fuck are they doing? They won. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I think they just like getting outside, don't they? What money? What's that, sorry? They found friends. They found friends? Exactly, they found a fucking community. They're like you. Yeah, which community is more toxic, these guys or those guys? Gathering in support of something fucked.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Who could imagine it? Hey, these guys are alright. They're a better audience than the dude go on now. So fucking I'm into it. I'm into these guys. So Cody, officially not here. Is he... He texted me 25 minutes ago
Starting point is 00:38:35 saying I'm here. And then he probably watched this for 25 minutes and left. That's alright. We're doing alright up here. We're doing great. He's absolutely holding court. We're having the time of our lives. Yeah, but I do honestly need to get my car.
Starting point is 00:38:52 No, I'll get an Uber, it'd be great. Duck sandwich. Oh yeah, so Mel's heard snakes alive, but she hasn't heard duck sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. No, but this is the same deal as you, Husey They all know this joke and they cheer for it and then I tell it
Starting point is 00:39:10 and then they don't laugh That's disappointing Shut up, you old fruit, just tell the joke Is it in here? I didn't put a fucking index in there You don't need to read it Surely you have it committed to memory No, I don't want to read it. Surely you have it committed to memory.
Starting point is 00:39:26 No, I don't want to muck it up. Mel, once you've heard Snakes Alive and Duck Sandwich, then you're truly a citizen of Australia. Is there a third great joke of Australia? There's Snakes Alive, Duck Sandwich. I like how you're searching in the back. Didn't you curate this book and you put yourself at the end? I was actually checking for an index. I couldn't remember whether there was one.
Starting point is 00:39:47 It's a 12-year-old book. I haven't looked at it for 12 years. Fuck some ordinary comedians got in here. I was looking at that out there. It's so funny that you put those people in who you now absolutely would not. No, yes. No, this reminds me. No, I've got an old joke that
Starting point is 00:40:05 goes, so this is what happened. I had a joke that I used to do that was this joke. I would say, I wonder Now it's just an open mic from ten years ago. No, no. No, no.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Joke one. No, no. Put the one. No. No. Put the pyjamas on. No. The pyjamas need to come on. No. So, I had a joke that went, I wonder if brothels have tight ass Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And if they did, I wonder if it was cheaper or more expensive. Good joke. And also, I like that most of you laughed, which means that most of you have never seen me do stand-up in your fucking face. So. It's no fig,
Starting point is 00:40:49 chuck a fig in there and they would have lit up. But yeah. That is a quality joke. Thank you. So. So, I would do that joke
Starting point is 00:41:00 and one night I did that joke in a gig in St Kilda and this guy came up to me and was like, oh man, that joke was really great, I love that I'm going to use that and I'm like what the fuck are you talking about
Starting point is 00:41:08 and he goes I'm going to use that I'm like how would you use that, it was just some old bloke and he goes oh I own a business and I'm going to paint that on the side of my business that joke and I'm like are you fucking for real, he goes yeah and I'm like what's your business for real? He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, what's your business?
Starting point is 00:41:25 And he goes, a brothel. Yeah, great. This is a, so this is a guy that owns top of the town that's in like a couple of blocks.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's nice. Don't be like that. Yes, King. Go off. No, it's not. Don't be like that. Yes, King.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Go off. I've been living in the... Oh, you can physically see him suck back in. Yes, yes. No, look. Look. It's a fucking... It's just off King Street. It's there.
Starting point is 00:42:02 It's like... You have eyes. You see it, you know? It's where a King Street. It's there. You have eyes. You see it. That's where a snake comes alive. Come on. That's a closer. That's a fucking closer. That is good shit.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Let's drop the mic and go get your car shit. We should end it there. We honestly should end it. That's when we go to the commercial. Fuck. That's fucked. I do have a bit after that. I regret having to do it,
Starting point is 00:42:30 but that was so good, I have to still do it. But, so he said that, and I was like, because this is 10 years ago, so I'm still like, precious about my art.
Starting point is 00:42:41 And I'm like, no, you can't do that. That's stealing material. That's mine. That belongs to me. And honestly, a week ago, I walked past it'm like, no, you can't do that. That's stealing material. That's mine. That belongs to me. And honestly, a week ago I walked past and went, fuck, I wish my joke was on the side of the air.
Starting point is 00:42:52 I can't believe I was saying not to do that. I could have been immortalised in a place where people are rooting for money. But also, you could have got money. He could have bought it off you. No, I don't think he was going to pay me.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I think he saw the value in sex but not in comedy. Did Snakes Alive ever hit you up about licensing the Snakes Alive? No, absolutely never did. It was a business opportunity they missed out on. Fuck, is it too late?
Starting point is 00:43:24 You know, I think the brand's flagging. I think people have sort of forgotten about Snakes Alive. I wouldn't be hitting up killer pythons in New Zealand, that's for sure. But the problem is now, I'm a vegan now. Is there any other vegans here? Good on us, but we can't eat Snakes Alive because it's got fucking gelatin in it. Guys, I think we have the first recorded case
Starting point is 00:43:43 of a vegan telling a room full of people they're vegan. Okay, that's the first recorded case of a vegan telling a room full of people they're vegan. OK, that's the first time that's ever happened. So, did they get on duty? Did you get that? Good, OK. Yeah, so it's disappointing. Nah, it's disappointing.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I was meant to do an ad for Cadbury. Oh. And I still may. What are you holding out? Were they filming tonight and you didn't turn up? No. I told my manager I'm a vegan and she said, ah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Just Cadbury in general or any specific thing in the range?
Starting point is 00:44:18 No, they're favourites. Oh, the box of favourites. Does Cadbury make Magnums? Because they do a vegan range. You could do... Yeah. The problem with vegan products is that they go on the market and then they go off the market because no one buys them. It's tricky.
Starting point is 00:44:34 I'd love that. Get a box of favourites, pop open the top, use his faces on there. Did you do Banana Boat? Was that you? No, I did... That was Kermit the Frog. LaTan.
Starting point is 00:44:43 LaTan? No, I knew he did LaTan. My first ad was LaTan back in about 1997 or 6, yeah. LaTan, it's ironically Australian. Oh! And you did... You know, the irony of that is it was filmed in Broome. They wanted to find the sunniest place in Australia.
Starting point is 00:45:00 We flew to Broome to do it. And I had so much fake tan on me while the ad was being filmed, I had no idea how sunburned I was getting. I fucking nearly died filming that ad. Filming an ad for sunscreen. I nearly died. And is it true, Hughsey, that you helped a team make Australian emojis? Is that true?
Starting point is 00:45:23 Yes, yeah, absolutely, yes. Yes, I can hardly remember that. Sorry I brought it up then, sorry. What were the Australian emojis? Is that true? Yes, yeah, absolutely, yes. Yes, I can hardly remember that. Sorry I brought it up then, sorry. What were the Australian emojis? Oh, we're trying to think of new Australian emojis. I can't... None of them really fucking... Were they memorable? Not the one with the mask on.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah, he was doing Dan Andrews with devil horns and that. Anyway. Nah, good on you. Yeah, a little emoji with a speech bubble coming out going, you're a great text message, never forget that. This is actually the best audience you've ever had. You know what, they're right up there, you are. I feel like I'm not getting the references because I don't know Stakes Live,
Starting point is 00:46:06 I don't know the Killer Pythons, but also I've muted Yuzi on Twitter. It was just... No, that's... It's nothing but Yuzi. There was a lot at once. No, I had a... I was the fifth most... Last last year the fifth most thing on Twitter
Starting point is 00:46:28 for the whole fucking year. Right up there with BTS. It was fucking unbelievable. I was going to say you and WAP. Yeah. It was incredible. Bring a bucket and a mop. You're a wet-ass pussy.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Never forget that. I don't know what he's talking about There's some whores in this house But on the side is Carl's joke Anyway I feel like there's alternate realities Going on right now Anyway
Starting point is 00:47:01 Fuck Twitter shit Is Elon Musk not buying it anymore Has he decided not to buy it Or what the fuck's going on there? Not to buy what? He's not buying Twitter, I think. I last tweeted, I saw he said moving on, which I think means Musk is not buying Twitter. So anyway, I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:47:17 You could buy it. Why don't you buy it? Oh, yeah. What if you buy Twitter? No, look, just don't be mean on the internet, all right? I'm not that mean. I just talk sense, Mel. Fuck that!
Starting point is 00:47:34 You once told me off on Twitter. I made a joke about Paul Hogan and you were like, respect an Australian icon. Oh! Yes. Now I fucking leave Paul Hogan alone. As you... Who remembers bloody... Crocodile Dundee.
Starting point is 00:47:48 All of us. Yeah. In Tropic Thunder. Who's seen Tropic Thunder? Yeah? Yeah. Fucking where bloody Robert Downey Jr. plays a Russell Crowe character. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:59 And he plays an Aussie. He plays a Russell Crowe. And in that movie, another bloke's having a go at Crocodile Dundee, and Robert Downey Jr., playing a version of Russell Crowe, said, that man is Australian royalty. You fucking... I got it wrong. Well, you fucking come up here now.
Starting point is 00:48:19 You're just like Carl. You're not respecting Australian comedy royalty. This is the best night of my life. Fuck, I'm so happy. This is my make a wish. This is so good. There was a roast of Paul Hogan the other night. Were you invited?
Starting point is 00:48:41 I was invited and I didn't go. I don't know why. You didn't want to disrespect him, I guess. Yeah, I felt like it would be too weird. I don't know. Do you know what happened? What happened? Well, they got I heard the first two names and I was like this is going to be amazing because the first two names I heard
Starting point is 00:48:58 were Tom Gleeson and Sean McCullough. I'm like, this is going to be incredible. They're going to kill that cunt. And then the rest of the line-up was absolute dog shit. So the first act on stage to roast Paul Hogan was Kerri-Ann Kennelly. Yeah. Sick.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And I did a... So Troy Kinney, friend of the show, Troy Kinney was on, and I did a bit of work with him for it. And so then what I heard back was they said, oh, okay, you can do some of those jokes, but all the other ones you're not using, we're going to distribute amongst everyone else. So I didn't see the show.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Some of my jokes could have been told by Kerry and Kenny. Oh, sick. I heard there was a lot of auto-cue reading. Yeah. Sick. Paul Hogan's a big fan of Tight Ass Tuesday. I once saw Paul Hogan eat a sandwich. There we go.
Starting point is 00:49:54 But apparently at the end of the night Paul Hogan came on, had no auto cue, referenced many things that happened during the night and absolutely smashed it. We cannot leave here without realising that Paul Hogan... Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:08 You just Google the fucking... The Academy Awards in 1986, yeah? Where Paul Hogan absolutely smashed it. He had a movie that was a worldwide hit. This is the same lecture I got on Twitter, by the way. Anyway, I fucking love hoax! That's all I've got to say. I do think you got it wrong.
Starting point is 00:50:39 In what way? What? How did I get it wrong? Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder. You know Robert Downey Jr. did play the Russell Crowe character? Yeah, and then one of the other characters was having a go at Crocodile Dundee.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Which bit was wrong? I love footnotes. Yeah. He was, yeah, he was. I reckon we don't take criticism from people who can't speak. Hey, I'm allowed to speak. Oh, here she goes. Here she goes.
Starting point is 00:51:17 I like it. I like it. I like this. We still know Nick Cody? No, we don't need him. It's fine. Yeah, we're having fun. We're just interviewing Hughsey a bit. This has turned into Hughsey, this is your life. No, we don't need him. It's fine. Yeah, we're having fun. We're just interviewing Husey a bit.
Starting point is 00:51:26 This has turned into Husey, this is your life. No, I'm happy to... Is Cody here? No. No, I don't know. Fucking hell. Not getting off that easy, mate. We're about due to end anyway, aren't we?
Starting point is 00:51:37 Have we done our time? Yeah, it's been great. I guess you're right. It's been wonderful. What a night. What an amazing night we've had. You've been a great crowd. It's the end of the festival, guys. Never forget that. What a night. What an amazing night we've had. You've been a great crowd. This is the end of the festival, guys.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Never forget that. Fantastic. Jussie, let them know what you think of them as a crowd. You great? Best crowd I've ever had. There we go. Best crowd ever. There we go.
Starting point is 00:52:00 That's what everyone wants to hear. There we go. The fucking kiss of life of Dave Hughes. I'm telling you that you're part of the best crowd he's ever had. You've got to realise... What is the genuine best crowd you've ever had? Oh, that's a good question. Probably a crowd I didn't have to tell them that they were the best crowd I've ever had.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And what's the worst crowd you've ever had? A crowd that I pumped up a lot. Have you ever bombed? What's your worst bomb? What's a fucking bomb? Yeah, absolutely. What's your worst bomb? What's a fucking bomb? Yeah, absolutely. What's your worst bomb? When was your last bomb?
Starting point is 00:52:27 I bombed in Edinburgh once where I was doing Late and Live. Edinburgh Late and Live. It was one o'clock in the morning. Have you done that, Mel? No. One o'clock in the morning we'd come on. It was advertised. Don't use the cups backstage.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Come to the comedy abattoir, the home where thousands of comedians have been slain. I had not seen that advertising when I went on. I went on the opening night. Ross Noble was the MC. Someone else had pulled out so I got a spot. And then he gave me a pep talk before the show. Just relax out there, mate. No matter what happens
Starting point is 00:52:57 just keep doing your jokes. I'm like, what the fuck's he doing? It's a comedy night. Did his pep talk go for about 25 minutes as well? It was full on the pep talk. and I did not realise I needed it. I walked on stage and started speaking. Within about 30 seconds I had 1,000 people chanting, fuck off, Aussie, fuck off. That's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:18 You know why? Because Scotland doesn't have snakes alive. Anyway, that was an horrendous gift. No, actually, you know what? I ended up telling them they were disgusting.
Starting point is 00:53:30 You're the most disgusting crowd I've ever had. And they actually enjoyed that. Okay, that's a good one. Yes, they enjoyed
Starting point is 00:53:38 me yelling at them, but then you're trying to do jokes and they can give a fuck. Anyway, there you go. That was a tough one. Alright, well that'll do. Alright. So anyway, there you go. That was a tough one. All right, well, that'll do. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:48 We'd better wrap it up. Please give a big round of applause. Brett Blake, Josh Earl, Melody Bracewell, Dave Hughes. Thank you guys so much for coming out and we'll see you next time.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Thank you. See you next time. Thank you. See you, mate. And they've done it again. Bernie has kicked a big one. A rotating cast, which basically just mean the one person left and another one came in for a bit. That's it. Well, we did think, I did, I was told that Nick Cody was there. Yeah. And he was supposed to be there and so was Harley Brain.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Yep. One or two others. But they were not there when called upon. They got cold feet. Yeah. When push came to shove. I don't know what happened there. They left the boys high and dry.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Yep. We were lucky Mel Bracewell and Hughsy didn't fuck off as well, to be honest, because I was sitting there just watching us talk to each other for quite a while. So we're lucky we didn't just have one guest. Yeah. But great episode. What did you think, guys? Let us know.
Starting point is 00:54:51 But that was, I don't know if you've listened back yet, Tommy, but that was a lot of fun to do. I had a skim just before you got here just to refresh myself because I don't remember much of it at all. Right. And good? Yeah. Okay, that's good.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yeah, I thought that was a lot of fun um the great man great symposium dave hughes what a what a what a man he's had a real i don't know what an up and down sort of year i think for him i think you know coming into this sort of time a year i think there was a bit of a thought of maybe people would drop off him because of the sort of twitter thing and his opinions about the pandemic and stuff like that but i think now there's like at least from us and a lot of people that they're into the show a bit of a groundswell of love and i will say i weirdly he was on i think we talked about this the other day when we did an ad for him but he was on it, Nick Capper's cancer fundraiser, which was like the week before the festival started. And he opened very funnily,
Starting point is 00:55:48 but I had a few friends there who walked away going, you know what? I know you rave about him and stuff. I'm not into it. Because he was doing a lot of like Dan Andrews gear and they were like, why is he, A, why is he doing his Twitter account live? B, it's like, it's over, mate.
Starting point is 00:56:04 We're out living our lives. Like these people were all kind of like very off him after seeing him at that gig. Right. And then by coincidence, those two separate sets of friends both happened to be at this podcast. Right. On the Sunday night, the one people have just heard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:19 And walked away going, oh, the great man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, I said to both sets of them, I love how your comedy festival was bookended by just the two ends of the spectrum of your experience with dave hughes yeah but you know what it's a microcosm of what it's all like it's always darkest before the dawn he's tasted the depths of it the hatred on twitter when we're all in lockdown and there weren't any live gigs for himself to redeem himself at yeah and they're now like a phoenix rising from the ashes it's a real i reckon we're going through a real dave hughes renaissance yeah yeah people are
Starting point is 00:56:49 loving him yeah no totally and and i like i said on the night after we stopped recording i believe um he'd done a stand-up gig at my venue that night like in as part of a showcase and you know ripped it up and then like it's the last night of the festival. He'd already done his last solo show. He'd done someone else's show. He'd come there. He was just looking around for stuff to do. So he did my gig. Smashed it.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And then just sort of absentmindedly went to promo his own show and then sort of went, come and see my show next year. If you like me tonight, come and see me in 350 days. Well, he was such a funny, lucky get because I ran into him in the street after he had done that spot for you and he was just like, I just did a spot in there. I don't know what to do now.
Starting point is 00:57:37 He was just kind of like walking around the city just looking for more bodies to get himself in front of. And look, I think it paid off well for us and it paid off well for him. And also I like the nice little, I don't know what you would call this, but like he, so that show, that show wasn't even meant to happen. That was meant to be, you know, we were meant to do the second Saturday of the festival at the European Beer Cafe.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I get COVID, I strongly suspect, from Hughesy, which means we have to cancel that show. We move it to the final Sunday. Hughesy comes on and he absolutely rips it up. So the whole thing's kind of like beautifully come full circle. It's a real season of dumb-dub. It really is. Yeah, no, much fun.
Starting point is 00:58:23 You know what as well? I feel like after all that break of us doing live shows, I always thought, we do the best live pods in the bitch. And then we didn't do any for ages and we did a couple of ones here and there. We were like, okay, okay. And now, I think we're back, Tommy.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Yeah. I think we're back. Last punch we did, we're back. I got to say, it was just nice to finally meet Mel Bracewell. Oh, yeah. In the rare mix of people who were on a Zoom episode of the podcast before I had formally met them IRL. Oh, so you'd never met her before?
Starting point is 00:59:00 I'd never met her, no. Not in real life. Yeah, right. I think, who else is in that category now? I guess Ed Gamble and Lou Sanders are the two who have been on
Starting point is 00:59:10 over Zoom and never shaken their hand. Never looked them in the eye. I reckon you're a big chance of never meeting them. I don't think Sandals will be out here at some stage.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Maybe. Maybe. We'll find out. Hopefully. She's funny. Great advertisement for our live shows. There's one coming down the pipeline. Aimed between your two eyes in wherever town you live in,
Starting point is 00:59:34 think of this episode. Come a longer. And that next one, as you said at the top of the episode, is Perth. We don't really have anything else lined up apart from that. Yeah. So get your tickets. You know what? episode is Perth. We don't really have anything else lined up apart from that. Yeah. So get your tickets. You know what? This is very funny.
Starting point is 00:59:48 A person has been texting me every now and then, has found our podcast and done that weird thing that some people do, whether it's weird or not, I don't know, but just has gone, I'm going to start at episode one. Okay. Yep. And so every now and then when something happens happens I'll get a reference from episode 115 or whatever it is yep
Starting point is 01:00:06 and go oh yeah do you still want your car washed or something and it's like what yeah something you did
Starting point is 01:00:13 once nine years ago and you're expected to immediately recall it yes yep so every now and then I get one of them and this guy
Starting point is 01:00:22 hits me up you know every couple months he'll hit me up and he said something about living in perth and i go yeah cool come come to our show and he's like i'm up to 2015 or whatever right and i yeah just fast forward and come to yeah yeah yeah i said we're going to your town in like three months or whatever. And he goes, okay. And then like two seconds later, all right, I bought a ticket.
Starting point is 01:00:50 So that's good. Yeah, we'd better find out where he's up to just before the gig. If he hasn't fully caught up, we might have to just throw a few references in. If we can, look, it'd be a rare thing for us to refer back to something from a long time ago. Yeah, we're pretty fresh. But yeah, no, so I said to him, well, you've got three months to catch up about, I think it was about 200, 300 episodes. That's doable.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Depends what his listening situation is. But if we're talking daily commute, that's pretty doable. Yeah, if he lives in Perth and he works in the middle of the Nullarbor, very possible. Yeah, he could knock off 10 eps on the drive to work, 10 eps on the drive back. That's 20 eps a day. Look, he's obviously not a Patreon subscriber because I don't think we're on Patreon when he's listening to that. So maybe I should text him back and say... 2015.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Because you know what? By the time he catches up to this, if he signs up to Patreon now, by the time he catches up to this, it might be time for him to be read out. This episode? Well, soon. If he signs up now. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:51 You'd have to rush him through the ranks. Right. Or maybe. Maybe. But anyway, speaking of Patreon, this is a part of Talking Dumb Dumb where we immortalise some of you little, small little listeners out there, the people that make us who we are. Yeah. We immortalise you in the show by reading out your precious dinky little names in return
Starting point is 01:02:17 for cold hard cash. If you sign up at patreon.com slash little dumb dumb club and support the arts. That's true. We support you and we support your immortality. Two bonus eps every week coming down the pipe for you if you are a Patreon subscriber. Little bonus mini chunks. So, hey, this listener who's texting Carl, if you've caught up by this point, by the time you're hearing this, if you've thrashed the entire back catalog, then guess what?
Starting point is 01:02:45 There's a whole back catalog of Patreon content for you to wrap your little laugh and gear around. Wow. Two hundred and, what are we up to? Two hundred and sixty something of those little mini bonus eps? Yeah, there's a lot there.
Starting point is 01:02:56 So there's a fucking fair whack of content there now. Even though they are smaller ones, that's still heaps. Yep. So, yeah, get into it. So, visit our website, and if you want the link, you can go to littled's still heaps. Yep. So. Yeah, get into it. So visit our website and if you want the link, you can go to littledumbdumbclub.com. You can find a link to that.
Starting point is 01:03:11 You can find a link to our merch. You can find a link to all our back episodes if you want to be more sort of aesthetically introduced to those back episodes since there's like little pictures and stuff. But let's kick off some of these name reads. Let's do it. Let's enter some people into the club, through the white pearly gates of immortality of the Dom Dom Club. It's like this is the cartoon where they've died
Starting point is 01:03:39 and this is in the paper. Yes. This is the obituary cartoon. So we're both dressed as St. Peter. Yes. Yeah, that's good. And we're both dressed as St. Peter. Yes. Yeah, that's good. And we're going like, ah, sorry, you know, whoever. Shane Warne.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Yeah. Oh, we've only got, we don't have any baked beans in here. Yeah. Sorry, Shane. Yeah. Some of that. Some of that stuff. Look, we're not as funny as editorial cartoonists.
Starting point is 01:04:05 No. You know, notoriously the funniest people around. But we'll give it a crack. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber. First cap off the rank this week. Thank you to DZita. DZita? DZita.
Starting point is 01:04:19 D as in like Deidre? I assume so. Okay. Yeah. What else is there short for? Hmm. Well, I thought it might just be, I was wondering if it was just the letter. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:04:30 It's actually D-E-E. D-E-E. Okay. Double D Zeta. Double Zeta. And I know it's pronounced Zeta. I'm not even mucking around with this. It's S-Z-I-T-A.
Starting point is 01:04:39 And I know that because they've actually made that their profile name on Patreon. It's like DZTA pronounced, I mean brackets, pronounced Z-TA. That's pretty cool. We could use that a bit more often. I assume people know that because we're often just fucking around trying to work out the pronunciation of things. But if more people could start doing that, that would be a great help to us.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yeah, apart from your cash, can we'd be a great help to us. Yeah. Apart from your cash, can we have some phonetic help as well? Yeah. Yeah. Everything you can. If you can chew up our dinner and spit it into our mouths as well, like a little baby bird. Wiping the bottom.
Starting point is 01:05:15 I'd appreciate that. Yeah. Fuck on our asses. Yeah. All of that stuff. Yeah. That you do to children. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:21 If you could do that to us, that'd be great. That'd be really handy. Yeah. But double D, Zeta. It's weird to put the pronunciation of Zeta in there, but then not also include... Oh, and by the way, yes, D is short for Deidre. Oh, yeah. What else could D be short for?
Starting point is 01:05:38 Just anything, any name, like Dennis. Yeah, Dennis Zeta. Dennis Zeta. Yep. Yeah, Donald. Donald Zeta. Donald Zeta. Yep. Yeah, Donald. Donald Zeta. Donald Zeta. Maybe that's what it is. Donald's a good name.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Imagine nicknaming yourself D if you named it Donald. Mm. No, go with Donnie. Don? No. D. Mm.
Starting point is 01:05:56 D Trump. It's a shame that I like the name Donald and it's a shame that it's probably the great man's probably put it out of vogue for a fair little while, I'd say. Why do you like Donald? I like that cartoon duck with no pants.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Okay. Still, you know, still Trump's got a fair way to go before he can push Donald Duck out of my head as the go-to Donald. Right. My daughter's discovered Daisy Duck. Okay. She's got all the new Netflix cartoons and whatever,
Starting point is 01:06:27 but she goes a bit old school as well. She's got a bit of Daisy Duck. How is she specifically finding Daisy Duck? Does Daisy Duck have her own show now? Yeah. Or has she just seen like a Mickey cartoon and gone, Donald's bitch, that's the one I like. I think we were just roaming through Disney Plus.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Oh, okay. Yeah. And there's a Daisy show. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she's part of... No, actually, not on her own. PC gone, man.
Starting point is 01:06:50 She's part of Minnie Mouse. She's hanging out with Minnie Mouse. Yeah, okay. And finally, a cartoon for the girls. Oh, there's a The Girlies version of Mickey's Clubhouse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. It's the Miss Pac-Man of cartoons.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Sex and the City, but they're all animals. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Sex and the City, but they're all animals. Yes. Yeah, yeah. They're all going shopping for no pants. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to shops and dropping off their pants.
Starting point is 01:07:14 Going shopping to buy all the little instruments for their husbands that are in the Merry Melodies band. Right. Yeah. No, she likes a bit of Merry Melodies as well. She's into the – there's a couple of, like, clips on YouTube that are just Bugs Bunny for an hour straight. Yeah, you were telling me a while ago you were introducing her to Looney Tunes. Has she – is she still into – like, if she had to pick,
Starting point is 01:07:40 if there was one TV with Disney and one TV with Warner Brothers Looney Tunes on it, which one do you think she'd pick? At the moment... It's all Disney. Yeah. Okay. Every now and then she does come up and say Bugs Bunny. Okay. That's cool to know.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Yeah, no, it's great. It's good. Because it's easy to find compared to whatever the fuck she watches where she just comes up and goes, Muggledorf. And I'm like, I don't know what any of that is. Yeah. Cool, it's a Japanese cartoon for kids. Well, I fucking have no idea about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:13 I don't even know what platform it's on. Yeah. But. But DZita. DZita. DZita. DZita might know. DZita.
Starting point is 01:08:20 DZita sounds like an anime character, actually. Yeah. It sounds like something. DZita. DZita. DZita. Well, thanks, Dezita. Thanks, Dezita. Give us something that is. What's Dezita? Dezita. It sounds a bit like dessert, which is appropriate because we're doing this after dinner. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, I wouldn't mind a little bit of dessert. We are here recording it at night, which is too late for my favourite cookie house to be open.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Yeah. It seems like a bit of a waste of a trip to come over. But I did have some the other day. They might have thrown some out. You could go hunting through the bin behind there. That wouldn't be... Cookie... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:03 What do you call it? Dumpster diving. um uh yeah yeah yeah um cookie creeping they always sell out they're they're not chucking them out yeah well you never know you know what's today wednesday could be a slow day yeah they were um they're very happy to see me the other day i hadn't been there for ages and they were like where you been i'm like oh i don't know comedy festival man yeah it's been busy just started telling them about my adventures and they're like oh cool yeah nice okay don't worry i'll come back and buy more of your expensive biscuits yeah yeah you haven't lost they would have been thinking like we're fucked we're gonna
Starting point is 01:09:39 go under yeah this guy stopped coming in yeah what if the cookies have been piling up like in science i'll just the muffins out the back? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm the Newman. I just come through and start eating all the cookies. That'd be good. Thanks, Desita. Thanks, Deserta.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Thanks, Deserta. Don't desert us. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Mark Godden. Hmm. Do you know who this character is? Name sounds familiar. This is who I think this is. This is who I believe it is.
Starting point is 01:10:11 I'm going to double check, but this rings a big old bell. Or it sounds a big old horn. Because I believe this is our, or one of our, but this is the original and the one I know of, our train driving listener. This is, I once was on a train and this bloke got on the loudspeaker. Bloke wasn't the first choice to cycle down the list. Got on the PA on a Friday night And did a bit of, you know, you get on the public transport and sometimes the driver will do a little bit of, you know, have a great Friday night, everyone.
Starting point is 01:10:54 You're all going home. You know, end of the week. TGIF. Good on you, everyone. Bit of that stuff. Yep. He does a bit of that. Does a side of that.
Starting point is 01:11:03 But then goes goes and guys if you need something to cool down with on the walk home from the train you need a bit of a laugh it's Friday
Starting point is 01:11:11 who doesn't need a laugh why don't you listen to the little Dumb Dumb Club Tommy Dazzling Carl's Channel they always have great guests
Starting point is 01:11:18 who doesn't need a laugh on a Friday the most depressing day of the week everyone's miserable on Friday well I'll tell you what it gave me a big laugh because I'm in the train.
Starting point is 01:11:27 I've had a few beers and I'm listening to that and I just start laughing out loud. That's good. As people are just looking around going, why are we getting fucking recommended a podcast? And that's so funny. You're on a train, not a tram, right? Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Because a tram, it's like the driver is like, you know, you have access to the driver from the tram you could be like love your work buddy yeah but the train is like you're you know you're in a you're in solitary yeah you have no way but this is what happened this is you got out and like ran up to the front i was near the front anyway oh okay so i got out and i went to i think i went to go and then he's i think the bloke stuck his head out or it was like, Hey, how's it clocked you? Has he just been looking in the mirrors as you got on and just like, wow, that's fucking, yeah, that's crazy. I remember being very excited.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Yeah, that is good. That is really good. Yeah. Yeah. I would love like a, I would love like a, like a page in the supermarket from like a listener working behind the counter that's seen me there. Oh. Something like that where you're just like, not just someone coming up to you, but like a very public.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Yeah. I've spotted you on like a security camera. Yeah. Like voice of God style. Yeah. Man, I forgot to say this. This happened ages ago and I wrote it down. I forgot to say it. But I was in the supermarket with my daughter and I had my headphones on.
Starting point is 01:12:50 And I was just walking around. She's just, you know, walking around just picking up stuff and whatever. She loves the shops. Loves going around and buying stuff. Oh, she's one of the girlies. Yes. And someone that's working at the supermarket walks up and says something to me. and this, someone that's working at the supermarket walks up and says something to me
Starting point is 01:13:08 and I'm like, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, what? And I pull my headphones out and he goes, oh, fuck. He said something like, I'm just trying to think, I've forgotten what reference it was.
Starting point is 01:13:19 I think he said, is everything all right? Have you gotten Tim yet? Right, okay. What? He's like, have you got Tim? And I'm like, fucking hell. I love knowing that this person's listening to this,
Starting point is 01:13:34 just furious going, that's not what I said, you fucking idiot. He's butchering my joke. I think I might have butchered it. He's butchering my joke that was one of his jokes. Yeah. I'm pretty sure maybe, I think that was a reference. It was something so ridiculous. Right.
Starting point is 01:13:48 Because at the start I was like, because it was built in this way that. The reference that's not very obvious immediately that it's a reference. Because obviously you're not walking around every minute of every day going, well, someone's going to come up to me and recognize me any moment. Yes. Like a stranger comes up to you like, oh, what's this stranger want? Yes. So someone just going like.
Starting point is 01:14:05 But also what's funny is like the, we're in the supermarket and this guy has come up and done, acted like as if you're in some other, you know, if you're browsing in say like a furniture shop, someone's going to come up and go, is everything all right? Or can I help you or whatever? So he's just used that. That's a good point. He's used that energy for the supermarket. Right. So this guy's come and gone, is everything all right or can I help you or whatever? So he's just used that energy for the supermarket. So this guy's come and gone, is everything all right?
Starting point is 01:14:28 And I'm like, it's a fucking supermarket. That would be really good to open a supermarket where people come up and do that to you. Is everything okay here? Yeah. Just like looking at cereals. Do you need a hand? Do you need a hand picking out grapes? No, I think I'll be all right.
Starting point is 01:14:43 That would be so good if you owned a supermarket franchise. Just have a day where you just get the staff to do that. And I reckon everyone who they came up to would flip out. Yeah, it was weird. You've clearly butchered it. I wonder, would it have been you're in the supermarket? Was it maybe something like, hey, have you got that high fibre bread? No, it was a reference.
Starting point is 01:15:06 What's a reference that you could have used? Let's break this down. Let's go backwards and figure it out. It was one of those. It was got him or it was...
Starting point is 01:15:16 It wasn't I'm aware. Okay. It was another little catchphrase. What else have we got? What else have we fucking absolutely... Prove it. Buried into the ground. ground yeah I don't know
Starting point is 01:15:29 what else did we say let's I reckon I reckon it must must have been that okay got him that sounds about right then
Starting point is 01:15:37 maybe for new listeners something that we haven't said for years and years that's still stuck on my number plate maybe this was the guy texting you
Starting point is 01:15:44 maybe it's just taken him this long to catch up. Maybe he's a few years behind. He's come over. He's from Perth. And then he's moved over to Melbourne just for the prestigious job of stacking shelves at the Hawthorne Woolworths. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Well, thanks, Mark Godden. Thanks, Mark Godden. Thanks, Mark God of the train. Yeah. Are you still on the trains, Mark Godden? You still... Training it up. Yeah. Are you still on the trains, Mark Godden? Are you still... Training it up. What line are you on?
Starting point is 01:16:07 I remember I was on a... I'm not a big train catcher, and I would imagine you're not, because there's no trains near where you live. No, I haven't... Fuck, I haven't caught a train in ages. Yeah. I'm not a big train catcher, even on my line. I like the tram.
Starting point is 01:16:22 So, I haven't seen Goddo for a while. Are you... If you... Look,ot for a while. Look, give us a shout. If you go through Hawthorne, maybe I'll get back onto the trains. If there's half a chance of me listening to a plug of my own podcast, I might get off the trams and back on the trains. Now that the MX is gone, what else are you going to do?
Starting point is 01:16:43 Well, having said that, we've got a few listeners that are tram drivers as well. Yeah, we do. Maybe they need to update a game and give a few plugs when we're traveling. But thanks, Goddo. Waiting for Godden to give us another plug. There we go. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Shane Don't. All right, well, let's move on to the next name then. There we go.
Starting point is 01:17:05 He's never copped anything like that before. Shane, don't or D-O-H-N-T. Don't. Don't. Don't. You've got to go with don't, though, don't you? I guess you do, yeah. Of course, at school.
Starting point is 01:17:18 Don't, Shane. Roll call. But teacher, I didn't. Shane didn't. Yeah, when call. But teacher, I didn't. Shane didn't. Yeah, when he's dead. When he's dead on the gravestone. Shane didn't. Yeah, surely that's lined up.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Yeah. Every name should have like a past tense equivalent. Or it's either that or it's Shane don't. And then down. Well, we tried to tell him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is where he's ended up when he didn't listen to us. So he's just got, so just Shane's got a comma after it.
Starting point is 01:17:53 Or Shane don't dot, dot, dot. Shane did. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go. There's some great ideas for when you're dead, Shane. I wonder if this was happening on like first day of grade one with his teacher at roll call. Oh, Shane, don't. Imagine when you bloody
Starting point is 01:18:07 die. Imagine when you're a rotting pile of bones deep in the ground. Imagine the kids fucking, oh, Shane didn't on his tombstone. Yeah, mate. Got him. You little kids think you're going to live forever. You're not. Yeah, kids are crying. One foot in the grave.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I'll be dead within 20 years i wish i was dead now don't get paid enough wife hates me looking forward to it kids think i'm a fucking loser might might swallow a gun at fucking recess then i'll be like shane didn't oh shane dunn shane dunn or whatever the fuck his name is i quit yeah. Yeah, I'll be Mr. Dead Cunt. Yeah. Wish I had a teacher like that. Yeah. That would have been cool. Who was your coolest teacher?
Starting point is 01:18:52 Oh, good question. I was going to say I wish I had seen a teacher have a full mental breakdown. A friend of mine at school, at his school, someone in his class had written something on the floor in really big letters. And the teacher came in and saw it and just goes, Stop wasting my life! Which is one of the greats. That is what you're like.
Starting point is 01:19:22 At that age where you're just playing up relentlessly at school. It's like, that is what you're fucking dreaming of. You might as well walk up to a kid and give them a trophy. Oh, totally. You've done it. Yeah, I remember thinking in my school that we'd had some people that were really pushing the envelope, and then hearing that from another school being like, boys, we've got to up our game.
Starting point is 01:19:41 That's good. That's a good result. I'd be very happy with that. But it's funny that's a good result i'd be very happy with that but it's funny that now the person who told me that listens too so they'll they'll have a nice little trip down memory lane reliving that great but it's it's now at a point where like as if you wouldn't say that if you're in that position that you now relate to that a lot what do you oh like the person having the breakdown yeah oh that'd be me day one yeah yeah yeah because also you realize when you when you know when you get into adulthood a lot of people that are teachers that's not their first pick right you
Starting point is 01:20:17 know what i mean there are not to say there aren't people who are like you know passionate about it from a young age but a lot of people it's a it's a Yeah. But a lot of people, it's especially a lot of people who were in the creative arts at some point will sort of go, you know what, this artist lifestyle, it's too fucking, you know, too hard to make money and too stressful. I'm going to go back to uni. I'm going to study to become a teacher. Right.
Starting point is 01:20:39 And that's relatively common. Yeah. So the whole like stop wasting, like the full, like realising how close a teacher is to a breakdown yeah it's like yeah man they're on the fucking edge oh also it's like you know when you're a kid when you're a teenager you look at adults and go i'm as smart as you if not smarter yeah and then when you're an adult and a teacher and you're teaching teenagers you go you dumb fucking cunts right and also when you're a kid you assume that most adults don't exist until you walk into
Starting point is 01:21:08 the room. Right. So this teacher had, they were just in a cryogenic chamber in suspended animation until it was time to teach you. Yeah. When it's like, yeah, man, they've had 40 years of life. Yep. They've been fucking copying it from both ends.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Yeah. Also, whatever you're fucking pulling pulling here They've seen it all before They're bored by it You're jumping around Going I'm the first person To throw a duster into the fan You're not Yeah

Starting point is 01:22:17 Okay. I think like a little island of normality in between a bunch of sort of little weirder sort of names. There have been some strange ones this week. Yeah. Jacobs. What do you think of Sarah? I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Yep. Fan. Yep. Never had much of a negative experience with Sarah, I don't think. Doesn't jump out to me as a great name in and of itself, but I do know a lot of nice Sarahs. So I'm prepared to, you know, I'm prepared to give it a... It's not a name I would ever consider for a potential child.
Starting point is 01:22:55 It doesn't really leap out at me with that kind of pizzazz. It's a nice little 7 out of 10 name, though. Yeah, but I hear it in the context of this and I go, I bet they're a good person. Okay. Well, Jacobs doesn't hurt, I think, you know, as a piece. Let me clarify. Sarah, only with an H.
Starting point is 01:23:13 Yes. Oh, look, I wouldn't have pronounced it Sarah if it was Sarah. Okay, good. Yeah. Why are you laughing? To your fair. Oh, okay. I don't get it. Why are you laughing? I'll tell you off air. Oh, okay. I don't get it.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Let me type it on my phone. Okay, all right. Let me communicate it. Good. Let me turn the subtitles on. Oh, great. This is going to be so good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:38 You guys should be here. You guys should have had a ticket. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You get what I mean, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what's going on. I'm with a ticket. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You get what I mean, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what's going on. I'm with you now. I think you're as delirious as me.
Starting point is 01:23:50 I'm fucking tired. Are you as tired as me? I am pretty tired, yeah. You seem like you're delirious. You're laughing at a lot of things I wouldn't have pictured a laugh at. Well, I guess maybe it's contagious. Maybe I've got that like, you know, when someone will yawn and it makes you yawn? Maybe it's like, you know, it's contagious. Maybe I've got that like, you know, when like someone will yawn and it makes you yawn. Maybe it's like, you know, it's like that.
Starting point is 01:24:08 I'm just getting swept up in the mania. But no, I am quite tired. You're getting the good bits of it. I'm not deliriously laughing. I had to do a big day of potting before this as well. So I've been, you know, I'm nearing the edge of sanity in terms of talking into a microphone. But you're making it sound like the thing that I sent you, that I showed you on my phone, makes absolutely no sense. No.
Starting point is 01:24:31 But you get it, right? I get it. Okay, right. But you're laughing a lot at something I think's not that funny. I'm now laughing at you. Yeah. Thank you. That's my job. I'm now laughing at you yeah laughing thank you
Starting point is 01:24:46 that's my job I'm not laughing at what you're showing me though this is no you don't say thank you it's not like you go oh I killed it tonight
Starting point is 01:24:56 because you got on stage and laughed and someone laughed at the fact you laughed oh hey I'll do whatever it takes if that gets the audience yeah but I mean
Starting point is 01:25:04 if I'm up there laughing and I'm killing and everyone else gets the audience that yeah but i mean if i'm up there laughing and i'm killing and everyone else in the audience is laughing harder than they've laughed at anyone else doing jokes they're just laughing at me laughing right then yeah i've killed why wouldn't i feel good about that okay and then i think what's happening now is it's a bit of a feedback loop where a lot of what i'm laughing at is just the absurdity of life in and in and of itself you know so it's a real comment on the world. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'm just like the Joker baby.
Starting point is 01:25:29 Okay. Well, now I'm back. Now I like this. Now I'm happy. But Sarah, great name, normal person, H on the end, the way God intended. So the devil intended to take the H off. Yeah. That's the greatest trick the devil ever pulled
Starting point is 01:25:46 Right To pull the H off a sailor Coming and Yeah Taking the H Also the greatest trick that Greg Fleet ever pulled Now I'm just doing what I can To get you to the state of delirium that I'm at
Starting point is 01:26:00 Right Yeah Well I'm glad that you're tired of potting all day Because we've got some more to do I know we've got more to do. Yeah, but again, I'm trying to get us – because, you know, look, not looking ahead, but I feel like we might be getting near the end of this talking dum-dum.
Starting point is 01:26:13 Right. What I'm trying to do is inspire a sort of a second wind. Right. Okay. Yeah, that's good. All right. Fair enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:19 You know what I'm looking forward to? Doing some more after this and then going home. And it's already a bit late now. I haven't had a run in two days. And I haven't gone without a run in two days for fucking a couple of years now. Yep. So now I need to fucking go home and deliriously go for a run. I'm surprised you didn't run here.
Starting point is 01:26:37 I thought that might have been on the agenda. It's pretty far. Yeah. No, you know what? It's fine to run here, but then it's a pain in the ass to get back. You've got to get back. Yeah, that's very true. But let's we've done enough of this.
Starting point is 01:26:49 Let's look. Thanks, Sarah Jacobs. Let's just do one more. You looked over to the recorder as if you were looking at the timer and there's no way you can possibly see those numbers from over there. I'll tell you what, turn it facing me because it's on the side. I'm on the verge of being able to see it. What? Take a sight. What?
Starting point is 01:27:06 Take a stab. What do you think? Well, I'll angle a little bit. See, no, that doesn't help me. Just give me a proper, you know. All right. Oh, no. Still can't from there?
Starting point is 01:27:21 It's not facing me. All right, but if you had to take a stab at it, if you had to take a guess. All right, I'm going to take a stab, but then I want you to hold it up flat, not any further towards me. Just hold it up so I can actually see it. Oh, okay, sure. Yeah. All right, my stab is 46 minutes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Pull it back, pull it back. Oh, okay. You want the distance, but you just want the angle to be right. Now angle it down. Yeah. Yeah. Can you see? Now I realize I don't know where I'm looking at the time of it.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Up the top in the red. Up the top in the red. Oh, 36 minutes, does it say? Yeah, it was like, yeah, it's 36 now. There you go. Yeah. That's a good read from here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:56 In red? Yep. Thank you. Guess way off, but good read. Yes. Yeah, my brains don't work, but my eyes do. Estimation, horrible. Eyes, perfect. Thank you. All right. Estimation, horrible. Eyes, perfect.
