a ball burster of an episode right now this is our last live one in melbourne um white hot if you've
uh if you ever if you've been to a drunk cast or if you've ever wanted to go to a drunk cast this
is probably the closest this is the next best thing this is we usually record an episode on
the last night of the comedy festival uh well we don't record it we just do it live we don't record it it's us being very loose we have a little bit of a rotating panel of guests
this is sort of the closest you're going to get to a normal episode that's like that well yeah
actually heathcote was probably the next best thing to a drunk cast but in terms of being
listenable and fun for people who not just the people who were in the room yes i think this will
translate to an at-home audience as well. So enjoy this.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There we go.
There we go.
Yes.
Fuck that fig.
Fuck that fig.
Kill ourselves.
Kill ourselves.
You've got to get that
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
welcome back.
The last time you sat
next to Tommy
it ended well
I know
this is
this is fucking bullshit
look if I
gave Tommy
Dazzalo
COVID
he should be fucking honoured
I did
I felt like
I had the most
exclusive strain of all
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
really heavy,
expensive glasses.
They're not,
they're Kmart.
Oh well,
they're fucking heavy,
they're like decanters,
you could kill someone
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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?
Do you know it?
I've denied the ball.
You don't know it.
Oh!
I'm sorry!
Yes!
Alright.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
You're the most
disgusting crowd
I've ever had.
And they actually
enjoyed that.
Okay,
that's a good one.
Yes, they enjoyed
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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
and go
oh yeah
do you still want
your car washed
or something
and it's like
what
yeah something you did
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'd appreciate that.
Yeah.
Fuck on our asses.
Yeah.
All of that stuff.
Yeah.
That you do to children.
Yeah.
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?
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.
Imagine nicknaming yourself D
if you named it Donald.
Mm.
No, go with Donnie.
Don?
No.
D.
Mm.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
I don't even know what platform it's on.
Yeah.
But.
But DZita.
DZita.
DZita.
DZita might know.
DZita.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Yeah.
Also, whatever you're fucking pulling pulling here They've seen it all before
They're bored by it

Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Sarah Jacobs.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you.
All right, that means one to go.
One to go.
Famously, the 36-minute mark is when we read the final name.
Yeah.
You can set your watch by it.
Thank you very much to Patience Subscribe.
