But until then, enjoy this new one.
Mick Molloy and Adam Rosenbach.
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 Daslow and with me is always the other half of the program,
Carl Chandler.
Good to see you, Ken.
Joining us today, two very special guests.
Please welcome back onto the show, Mick Malloy and Adam Rosenberg.
Yes.
Yes.
I'm confused.
You said back onto the show.
Have I done this?
Have I?
We did an interview on Triple M with you at the start of 2020
to plug the 500th episode, and your intro to the interview
was looking at the fact sheet of who'd been on, and you went,
now, some great people have been on.
When are you going to ask me on?
And we both went, you've been on.
You've been on in the studio next to the one we were in.
Was I good?
Yeah, you were good.
Well, why did it take you so long to invite me back?
You know what?
I'm going to pull up the photo.
It's like one of the very first pictures on this phone.
Oh, wow.
It's like iPhone 1.0.
It must be one of the first pictures I took.
It's in sepia tone?
Yeah.
Carl's thumb is just scrolling.
I know, man.
iCloud's working overtime on this one.
When did you get your first mobile, Mickey?
Oh, gosh.
Late 2000s?
Definitely late 2000s.
No, I'll tell you when I got it.
So my boys are now nine.
Yep.
Came free with them.
Can we hold this up?
Can we hold this up?
They're in a car out the front.
But I thought,
it was the first time ever I went,
oh, jeez,
if I need to be contacted,
I probably should be contacted.
So I got the phone because of Fred and what's the other one's name?
Lenny.
So if you'd never had children, you'd still be completely off the grid.
I would, but there's something about getting off the reservation which I kind of like.
It's like being in a witness protection scheme or something.
Because you used to have to call a pub to get a hold of Mickey.
Oh, wow.
So you'd call the All Nations and if you were there, you'd take the call and otherwise it'd
be like...
Backpackers?
Yeah, it'd come in...
No, the one in Richmond.
But I'll tell you what happened when I knew it had gone too far.
When my mail started being delivered to the All Nations.
Oh, dream.
It's true.
I would go in, order two beers and then they would hand me some mail.
A summons.
The best of that ever, though, was Bill Hunter,
who, and Bill Hunter's...
Great Australian actor.
And one of the great father figure of my life.
One of the great Australians.
Yep.
Thorough gentleman.
And he, like me, had a penchant for the front bar,
and his agent used to ring me, because he didn't have a phone either
and so his agent would ring me going,
I need to track down Bill.
Is he with you?
I go, no, but I would try the All Nations,
the London Tablet or the Vine.
And invariably, through the Bush Telegraph,
he would be located.
I thought he was ringing you at one pub to find out if he was at that pub
or another pub because you didn't have a phone at that pub.
Well, not at that.
I did by the time.
No, I didn't.
So I don't know how he would have got me.
Probably my agent.
I love that.
Like, you know, now people will have on their poster,
they'll have like the Twitter icon and the Instagram icon.
It's like, here's where you can track me down after gigs
if you want to follow me.
Just putting the pubs you frequent on your flyer like,
here's where to find me, guys.
Do you know what?
Any memories of that, Mick?
There we go.
There's photographic evidence right there that you have been
with me and Tommy before.
I can date that.
That's three chins ago.
That is three.
Look at that good-looking young man.
I've gone fully bald since that last time you were on.
Also, I've been scrolling through that, and there's some –
I don't know if you've ever had this when you, like, update your iPhone
and you plug it into your computer to save your pictures or whatever,
and it makes multiple pictures of, like, one picture for some reason.
Have you ever had that?
So just before I got to that pic with Mick, this is what I scrolled through.
A couple of dozen pictures of Tommy Dasol.
All identical. All identical.
All identical.
That looks like, what was his name, the artist?
Andy Warhol.
We should give you the Warhol treatment.
Yeah, I like it.
I like it a lot.
Instead of tomato soup, it's just one open mic.
In the future, everyone will be a dumb cunt for 15 minutes.
So I reckon the first time you did it was probably back in the day
when you were doing Brekkie Radio.
So imagine your memory of that time.
It's just a haze.
Brekkie Radio's blur, I reckon.
Because we were talking the other day, you're a night-time person,
so you normally go to bed like 2, 3 o'clock.
Slightly nocturnal.
So Brekkie Radio was like the hugest change in the world for someone like you.
So if you're going to bed at 3 o'clock, that means you have to get up ideally at 4 o'clock, doesn't it? nocturnal. So Brekkie Radio was like the hugest change in the world for someone like you.
So if you're going
to bed at 3 o'clock
that means you
have to get up
ideally at 4 o'clock
doesn't it?
Yeah you'd think
so wouldn't you?
Da Vinci only
slept an hour a day
you know?
Well that's when
I negotiated what
has now become
the standard
contract for
comedians performing
in Breakfast Radio.
Well some call it
the pang but it's
not the pang is it? It not the pang, is it?
It's the law.
Well, pang, yeah.
So I was the Rosa Parks.
Brave.
Slooping up the back of the bed.
I was the one who said no.
Enough is enough.
So I pioneered the two hours, so the seven to nine,
and also the days off.
The mental health days.
The mental health days.
The roster days off. The mental health days. The mental health days.
The roster days off.
And I had up to five a year.
He then took it next level.
He did go.
I think he's got about ten.
Mick walked so that pain could run kind of thing.
I should be a fucking statue of me out in front of Nova and Triple M.
Every comedian should come along and salute at once in the morning. I'm waiting to see where it ends up.
Just like in 10 years, there's a comedian who's like,
yeah, mate, get in there at 8.45, 15 minutes.
It's all thanks to Mick.
I've got to do two jokes and that's it.
In world football, there's the Bosman ruling
because of the guy that once you're out of contract,
you can now free transfer between clubs.
This is the Mickey rule.
There it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that was a game changer for me and by necessity too
because I just said I'm not going to go up at –
well, I'm not going to go up at five to do six.
See that shift work?
If you get up at six, you're just getting up early
or in my case, getting home early.
So you can then go on and do it.
But see, you can get up at six, get in there at seven,
and punch
out two
hours.
Also,
three hours
is a lot.
At that
time of
morning,
not a lot
changes from
the six
o'clock
hour to
eight.
And also,
do you
really,
you know,
how much
time have
you got
for people
that are
listening to
the radio
between six
and seven?
Do you
really want
to talk
to those
people?
I don't
feel I
need to entertain them.
They've made their own choices in life.
This is what I've always been fascinated by with that rule.
Do you ever feel like when you go in,
the people that you're on the show with,
they've already been in there plugging away for an hour.
Is there ever an attitude of like, here he is.
Well, well, well.
Does that breed any kind of like...
No, the cavalry's arrived. Thank God. an attitude of like here he is well well well does that breed any kind of like contempt
no the cavalry's
arrived
thank god
they're almost
they've been taken
out in stretches
very good my lord
seriously let's be
honest if you're not
a comedian you're
doing fuck all
you're literally
reading out the
odd spot from the
paper
there's a lot of
big hello to Luke
Darcy if you're out
there
he just used to rename the odd spot there's a lot of quizzes between six and. There's a lot of quizzes. Big hello to Luke Darcy if you're out there. He just used to rename the Odd Spot.
There's a lot of quizzes between 6 and 7.
There's a lot of quizzes.
A lot of lists.
Top fives.
Fair bit of talk back if anyone will bother to ring.
One hour, but it feels like about four.
They are sweating at 7am when you get in.
Mate, they're thankful that you're there.
And also, you were the game changer for Drive as well,
four till six.
It used to be like three till six or four till seven,
and you and Tony came in and went, that's it.
That's it, boy.
We've been at it a long time.
I like how you're being treated as Edison
when it's really your idea is, how about I do less?
I love radio.
Sounds like you're trying to dismantle it from the inside.
Edison's new invention is half a light bulb.
Marconi should have said when he invented radio,
and don't go too hard, boys.
But I always think comedians do,
and it's a rod for our own back,
but we, in the other form of entertainment,
people go, get up and just tell your stories,
or in the case of music,
I know this is a well-worn anecdote,
but play your favourite songs, which is the opposite of a comedian,
which is, mate, do some original.
Right.
So we've over years made a rod for our own back.
We do work harder than anyone, or put it in radio,
out of the three blokes or four blokes or girls and boys in that room,
you're pedalling harder than anyone else.
Yeah.
Because it's a furnace that needs a lot of fuel.
So I don't fear, as much as we have a laugh about it,
everyone can go fuck themselves.
Hey, you're carrying this pod so far.
We're not arguing.
I can't wait for you on the front bar to just be lobbying the AFL.
It's like, let's knock out the fourth quarter.
Let's just make this game a little shorter.
We're just bringing this up because we were worried you were going to turn up 20 minutes
into this podcast and do the equivalent.
Well, I'll tell you, Pang, that's how serious he is.
He goes missing after Seg 4 on the front bar.
He literally could read a book for the last two breaks and it would make no tangible difference.
It is annoying someone like a Sam Pang who's so popular with people,
so beloved that it's like he does that
and people go, ah, classic Pang.
It's like, no, if it was me,
it'd be like, you lazy cunt.
And rightly so.
I think that pendulum's staying to shift, though.
People are working out he's not that likeable.
He's great.
Do you know what it is?
There's something going on there.
It's like there'll be a Will Smith moment
For Sam Pang
Where everyone goes
Wow
A Tiger Woods moment
Where you go
Wow everyone loves him
He's so great
He's such a strong role model
But you and I know
Something shady is going to happen
Those prescription meds
Are going to bring him under
You can see it coming
Also there must be something
In the water in Australia
That's like hypnotised
Everyone about Sam Pang
Because we've got
You know overseas listeners
And we had him on this show
About a year or two ago
Or whatever
And we're like
Oh finally we've got
Sam Pang on the show
And then people from overseas
Are like
What's the big fucking deal
On this guy
I don't know
It's hard to explain
It seemed like he didn't
Want to be there
You're right
He's like you know
It's a very known thing
That he's very protective
Of his private life
He won't really talk about
His private life on the radio
And you've got to ask Why not What's going on When you're in an open marriage No, it's a very known thing that he's very protective of his private life. He won't really talk about his private life on the radio.
And you've got to ask, why not?
What's going on?
When you're in an open marriage, I think that is the type of thing you need.
You're very private.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the swing of circuit.
You just want to...
You know what?
Your world's colliding.
Well, it was great to get you in.
Finally, your white whale.
We've been trying to get you in ever since you...
How dare you!
It's nasty.
How'd you go to the
Dumb Dumb Club?
He fucking called me
a white whale.
No!
He tried to harpoon me.
One of the great figures
of literature
is what we mean.
You can't say that stuff
anymore, Carl.
That's their word.
No, but like,
you know,
there's obviously deals
when you get big names
in on the show.
What we were told as the deal hammered out here today was that you were arriving thanks to your brother was dropping you off.
That's right.
And so the deal is now after this show that I have to drop you home.
That would be good.
What time does mum want you home today?
I think we could probably stop at six pubs on the way.
Right, right.
Still get home in time.
Right, all nations.
The other all nations.
Do you know what
I always said
I could do
I can navigate
people anywhere
here in Melbourne
based on
pubs
right
yeah you go to
the Lord Dudley
you turn right
turn right
at the railway
you go past
the Rising Sun
and you just
go
that's what
you know what
Dave O'Neill does
of course
the way he figures out people is where they live and then he goes then he can Dave O'Neill does of course the way he figures
out people is
where they live
and then he goes
then he can name
the nightclub
that you would have
gone to
when you were 18
and what private
school was in the
area or whatever
whether you're
public or private
school boys
so that's all he knows
he knows all of that
what was your
nightclub
21st century
dance club
Frankston
where I worked
on the door
I did so you were a bouncer or just kind of I was a doorman so if there was a fight they'd all club? 21st century dance club, Frankston, where I worked on the door.
So you were a bouncer or just kind of... I was a doorman.
So if there was a fight, they'd all target me.
Because I was clearly... When I say if there was
a fight, I mean when there was a fight.
The first one would be about
7 o'clock, which is generally early for drunken
behaviour. A doorman, you're in like
tails and a top hat, like down at Frankston?
Mate, I
just used to, I had to wear a tie.
Oh, really? Which was handy because the magistrate's
court was across the road.
Fuck, I would have thought a tie
for someone working at the front door is not,
like it's just a handle. It's like a target.
It's a target, yes. It comes in handy.
That's funny you say that because I just went back to
my hometown the other day, Mariborough.
So we, I went past my parents used to own a lot of different businesses.
Not all at once, but just would shift from one to one.
They paid the bills.
Sure.
They were laundering.
No, it was all above board.
Yeah, I mean, they're not going on the run just like two shops down.
On the small town.
On the small town.
Time to flee.
No, no, I've left Target.
No one will look for me in Fosse's.
When you say that it's home for you,
I thought home for you may have been Phuket or Thailand
because every time you post, every time you present public,
you're somewhere in the Asian...
Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia.
What's going on?
Look, I do have a big hankering for it.
Last time when we were on your radio show, we were there plugging...
Oh, no, fuck, we weren't plugging that.
We were talking about the Koh Samui International Podcast.
The Koh Samui International Podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which I thought would be right up your alley.
What's the deal?
What is it?
Well, we did three years of it.
We did three years of it.
We somehow got away with basically me going on holiday and then reverse engineering the rest of it.
Yeah.
Making an excuse to bring 200 people over.
It's like a podcast fire festival.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah, except it wasn't.
It was more successful than that one.
And we didn't even have to have any jennies or anything.
A fire festival.
That's good.
So every year?
Three years in a row.
Wow.
Three years in a row.
So that ended with,
what was it,
80,
no,
80.
Could have invited me to that one.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean,
this is a rare opportunity
to sit in a shared
household lounge room.
But,
I mean,
Casey,
where were you from?
Yeah.
Well, look,
you know what?
You know what?
Okay,
well,
how about this?
Right,
so,
we haven't done it since we did it 2017, 2018, 2019.
Is that right?
Yeah, 19 was the last one.
Pretty sure we didn't do it in 2020.
Something came up.
But now that we're all safe, COVID's gone forever, obviously, whatever.
I've got a little thing coming up in a couple of weeks
where we've talked about it on the show recently.
It's not the Coastal Movie International podcast.
Where there's podcasts going on.
What it is,
is the 2020 Dum Dum Con.
So it's the first fan festival of the little Dum Dum Club.
So where's that?
So that's in Coastal Mooray.
And so people are invited to that.
There's no live shows or anything.
When's that?
There is a Q&A
with one of the co-hosts of the show.
Okay.
It's me.
You're the Rosa Parks.
Oh, a Parks podcast I reckon
hang on
so you've got
you're going to go there
but you're not even
going to put on a show
you're just going to
answer a few questions
it's an unofficial
bootleg fan event
it's just for the fans
can I come
absolutely
I'll only fly business
you're good like that
well it's a business trip
we're all riding this off, aren't we?
That's fair.
And I've said on the show leading up, I announced it two weeks ago, I think it was, and I said,
confirmed six to eight people.
I can say right now, we've got double figures.
We've got double figures coming.
So it's bubbling along very nicely at the moment.
And when is it?
That is June 18, or whenever suits the people who are there.
It's a post-it note
on the calendar.
Literally one person
hit me up to say
I can't make it
until the 19th.
So 19th could be a chance.
It's a flexible.
Due to popular demand.
Second show.
Well, if you got told
10% of the festival
could make it.
Due to popular demand
second question asked.
They'll get mad.
So basically you're holding a press conference in case the moment Do the popular demand second question ask. Can I get mad? Yeah, yeah.
So basically you're holding a press conference.
Yeah, yeah.
In case of movie.
Yeah, look, you can be on Zoom if you like.
You know, we can have some guests on Zoom.
We're going to do that.
I'm going to read from the joke book I put out on Penguin Books on 2011.
It's going to be a big day.
You're not over-promising.
Yeah.
I'll answer some questions and read from a joke book.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's fiercely negotiating.
Well, so that's, look, that's a big,
that's obviously the big deal.
It's coming up in four weeks and whatever,
and my wife's going to, might be there as well.
Like, so there could be 11 to 12 people there.
It's going to be great.
You've got to have her for once.
Well, yeah, she is coming, yeah.
She's got to be taking part in the Q&A.
Oh, yeah, no, I don't think I want anyone asking questions of her,
to be honest.
I don't think so.
I interrupted anyway.
So Maryborough, that's your hometown.
Yes.
So what do you say your parents have done?
Oh, they owned a cafe, a coffee shop.
And it just reminded me of that when you said that
about the 21st Century Nightclub.
They started a cafe.
In when?
The 90s?
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah, maybe late 80s, early 90s. Were focaccias on thes? Oh, no. Oh, yeah, maybe late 80s, early 90s.
Were focaccias on the menu?
Oh, no.
I think salad.
That's how you date places.
It's investigative journalism at its best.
Focaccia and wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce.
No, you know what?
Someone sent us an ad a couple of weeks ago, a couple of months ago.
They'd found an old ad for our coffee shop.
What was it called?
This one was called – they own two coffee shops,
one called Chandler's Deli Classic.
And then the second one was called –
Chandler's Deli 2.
I like Chandler's Deli.
I'd go to Chandler's Deli.
Sounds like a spin-off of Friends.
I'm mentioning a big couch.
Yeah.
Creepy guy behind the bar
yeah
no no
those very 80s
sort of like brown
metal chairs
with the brown cushioning on it
you know those ones
you saw everywhere
those ones
this one was called
the Terrace Coffee Corner
okay
right
which I drove past the other day
and I was like
oh they finally changed the name of it
and it's like
Maribor is very meth-y
very bogan-y these days
and so they've changed
they've changed he's a good advert and so they've changed I don't have
any tickets
to sell there
I'm not getting
in South Coast
of Millie
if it's a town
in regional
Australia
I think we can
just assume
it's a bit
meth-y
every town
you go to
is like
we're the
meth capital
of Australia
they love it
they're always
bragging about it
that's us
they need to start doing how cafes in regional towns and bakeries will have voted It's on their number plate. Yeah, they love it. They're always bragging about it. No, it's us.
They need to start doing how cafes in regional towns and bakeries will have voted.
Best vanilla slice. It's like we need the great outdoors or something to really get to the bottom of what is Australia's methiest city.
Best meth.
Cleased teeth.
The great meth chefs of regional Australia.
That's what you want.
You want tourism.
Get Mirabar.
Get the Breaking Bad Festival going.
Most overworked bathtub.
This could be the most original idea for a cooking show I've ever seen.
It's a master chef for meth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm watching this.
It's a new one because if Mirabar is claiming meth capital,
which I'm not sure if they are,
then it will overtake what they used to claim, which
is the sweet double, which was the skin cancer
capital of Australia and the suicide
capital of Australia.
Really? Yeah, nice little couple of claims to fame
before the meth came along. And were people committing suicide
via skin cancer?
That's a slow burn.
A literal slow burn.
That's really a cry for help more than a
genuine attempt, you know.
You see someone lying on the Marabara beach and go,
oh, you're having a relax?
No, I'm trying to kill myself.
It's coming along.
Very slowly.
Stage three.
If you're at the beach one day, you just see someone,
their shirt off, you've noticed they haven't put sunscreen on at all,
you've got to be like, are you okay?
It's stuff to live for.
People love you.
You don't have to do this.
There's meth to have.
So no for car,
just someone sent in an ad for a coffee shop
and it said this
and I had to ask my mum and dad about it.
It was advertising health sandwiches,
which I believe was just salad sandwiches
rebranded in the late 80s.
Okay.
Wow.
I've never heard of that, health sandwiches.
So my parents may have invented that, I think.
Yeah.
They began the organic food kick.
Yeah.
A salad sandwich just used to be still bad for you.
Remember in our day?
It would still be like, it would be a white bread, loads of margarine.
Oh, yes, cheese.
Processed sliced ham.
Yeah.
Processed cheese and then whatever.
That's still bad for you.
Some shredded carrots kind of thrown in there.
Shredded carrots.
Shredded lettuce. That's it. Did you. Some shredded carrots kind of thrown in there. Shredded carrots. Yeah. Shredded lettuce.
That's it.
Did you have them in your high school tuck shops?
What was like your go-to at school?
Loganbury pie.
Loganbury pie.
You've never had a Loganbury pie?
No.
Oh, well, it was a private school.
Beef Wellington.
Okay.
No, no.
It was a Loganbury pie, which is like a, it's a berry, not raspberry.
It's like a pie and you get it for, not very good for you at all.
Berries in a pie?
Like a hot pot.
Loganberry pie, I'm telling you.
And they used to fucking cook the shit out of it.
Yeah, really sweet.
Right, right.
And sometimes, as a kid, you get over excited and it was not ready to be eaten.
I was too hot.
And you would burn your mouth on it.
I'd burn my mouth on a Loganby pie at least once a week.
That was it.
So Loganby pie.
We didn't stock them health sandwiches, what we had.
And I brought it up because it was a coffee shop in Mirabar opposite the Supreme Court.
So it was just people going in and losing their kids
and then coming over for a health sandwich to drown their sorrows. This will take your mind
off it.
Bit of shredded carrot.
Give them a discount.
Come on in if you've lost your case.
It's half off. Well, you should have fed this to
your kid to start with and you wouldn't have lost it.
Half price to anyone wearing rivers.
Half price.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, well, speaking of... It's an unofficial court canteen.
That's awesome.
Speaking of Thailand,
well, look, this is an interesting thing
to bring up to you guys.
I think you guys will be into this especially
because I know you've got a...
not a penchant,
but you've got a history of going to Southeast Asia.
You love your Bali.
You love your Phuket, don't you?
I've been to Bali, I reckon,
three, maybe four times as an adult.
First time, disgraceful.
First time, literally, that dick.
That guy.
Oh, right, right.
That cooter fuckhead.
Yeah.
And in my defence, 19, 20.
Yeah.
Working on the door of a nightclub in Frankston.
Thinking, this will be great.
Yes, yes, yes.
And so that one, I apologise to everyone involved.
I really do. They're listening. Anyone I apologise to everyone involved. I really do.
They're listening.
Anyone who happened to see it.
We do have a couple of listeners in Bali, so they'll pass it around.
Well, so I was telling this story the other day where the first time I ever went there,
I was staying in Kuta, and I sat in a pool bar for about nine hours drinking a ruck,
the rice wine.
When I got out, the barman had to put my shoes on and tie up my laces so I could walk home.
That's how fucked I was.
Okay, that's good.
And then on my recent returns, I've done it to Seminyak and Great Bar and so on.
So I love it.
I'm not, it's not on my list.
Thailand, I've done, you know what?
I've only done Thailand once.
Oh.
And that was Phuket.
Yep.
Yep.
So I'm happy to go back.
Oh, right.
At any point.
If there's an invite going.
So you gave me one of the greatest pieces of advice for Bali,
because I've only ever been there once, and that was for the Limo's wedding.
Oh, yeah.
And you said that if it ever rains there, you don't go for a swim on the beach because.
Well, I hung over and went, I better go and have a swim.
I'll just knock off the cobwebs.
Nothing feels...
The best hangover cure in the world, write this down, kids.
I believe the only one is diving into ocean.
Salt water is your best friend after a big night.
So I thought I'd go and test this.
And then I'd go, oh, it's a bit soupy today.
It's a...
So I thought I'd go and test this.
And then I go, oh, it's a bit soupy today. It's a soupy soupy.
How do these fucking shoes get on me?
Well, as I'm sitting there, I dive under the water and look up and a big wave forms.
And at that precise moment, a dead dog was dumped on top of me.
Oh, my God.
Mental note.
Oh, my God.
Mental note.
Don't go for a swim after storm runoff in the Cootah area.
A dead dog.
You don't get that in the surf report.
No, you don't get that.
So, better or worse for the hangover?
Well, up until that point.
That is a real hair of the dog, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
How'd you go? I had a hair of the dog. It a real hair of the dog, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. How'd you go?
I had a hair of the dog.
It was a hair of the dog.
That's going to wake you up.
That's a big jump scare.
Yeah.
But I loved it.
I've been to Vanuatu quite a few times because my father established the airline over there.
Oh, really?
So I used to love going to Vanuatu.
The Nivans are some of the nicest people I've ever met in the world.
Air Vanuatu? Air Vanuatu. The Nivans are some of the nicest people I've ever met in the world. Air Vanuatu?
Air Vanuatu, yeah, that's right.
He was happy until I tried to break Booney's record on the flight over there.
He said, not a good look for the...
So he's a crackerjack, the only thing that plays on the in-flight entertainment.
Oh, that's right.
Do you know what he did for in-flight entertainment?
I swear this is true.
This is how casual it is over there.
The first time I ever got on a flight with him,
he was flying the plane,
and about 20 minutes in, we were here.
Evening, ladies and gentlemen.
This is your captain, Keith Molloy, speaking.
We're currently flying at an altitude of 32,000 feet.
Our arrival time will be 7.45.
We've got five hours ahead of you,
so in the meantime, why don't we relax and
enjoy some music.
He started playing the harmonica.
What?
I'm sorry.
That is a true sadism.
Oh, fuck.
It's slightly different. Pre-9-11
by the way.
That would have caused a new 9-11, I would have thought.
People love to complain about how bad it was
when you had everyone watching the same movie on the one screen.
Fuck, that's nothing.
I remember, so when I got there,
and I remember the first story,
so I was staying on the main island,
and I was at a resort,
and the first thing I did,
this is when I learned how casual the natives are,
and I went down to the pool bar and thought, I'll have a drink.
Anyway, the guy behind the bar couldn't be nicer,
huge, small, polishing glasses.
And anyway, the phone behind the bar starts ringing.
He makes no attempt or doesn't even bat an eye.
He just keeps polishing and smiling, and the phone's going off.
Sitting around the bar, there's a whole heap of Europeans and myself getting really agitated.
He's not going to answer the phone.
Why wouldn't he answer the phone?
He's not going to answer the phone.
So after about a minute and a half, he casually walks over, picks it up and places it down again.
Problem solved.
I went, oh, okay, this is going to be fun.
These guys know how to do it.
I just picked up the phone and then hung it up.
Problem solved.
But I loved it over there.
I haven't been in a long time.
I hope it hasn't deteriorated.
I kind of felt towards the end maybe the promises of tourism
hadn't arrived for them.
And they were maybe getting a little pissy.
But anyway, I loved it.
I recommend it.
Your dad's on the phone to you like,
we need you to plug the flights on Triple M.
Yeah.
Get you to the airline.
Yeah.
Give us a shout out.
He started too.
He started that one and Anna Rue was the other one.
Okay, all right.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm getting the feeling he didn't like to come home.
Yeah, yeah.
Where's dad?
He's setting up another airline.
Really?
Yeah.
Meanwhile, the people of America Samara are going,
Malloy, what's the fucking delay?
Wouldn't mind a holiday.
Bring it.
You've got your brother driving you around.
You've got your dad flying you places.
That's right.
It's silver service.
Carl's dropping me off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's your point.
I do have a soft spot for the Asian region,
so feel free to invite me to anything.
Well, here we go.
So the other day there was a sale on Jetstar
and I was at work.
I was working on a TV show
and I saw the sale.
I know Brett Blake's a fan of a bargain on Jetstar,
so I sent him the thing and I said,
look at this, cheap flights.
What do you reckon about this?
And I said, look, look at this.
A Bangkok $250 return.
What do you think about that?
And he goes, nah.
And I go, how fun would that be?
$250, we'll just go for a long weekend.
How good would this be?
And then I just left it.
And then I went, I was working on Speaks and Speaks.
We did rehearsal.
I'm on the panel.
And I get a message going, all right, you've won me over.
I've booked in November 2 to 7 or whatever it was. And I'm like, I wasn't trying to win you over. I'm on the panel. And I get a message going, all right, you've won me over. I've booked in November 2 to 7 or whatever it was.
And I'm like, I wasn't trying to win you over.
I was just having conversation.
And then I'm like, oh, fuck.
And he's like, you said you're going to go.
And I'm like, I didn't really, but fuck, okay.
And so all of a sudden we're doing rehearsal.
It speaks to the fact they're going, Chandler, hit the buzzer.
I'm glad you said it was rehearsal.
I thought you were taking it to the actual show.
It's important.
So we're doing rehearsal and they're saying,
Chandler, when are you going to buzz in with some answers and stuff?
November 2 to 7.
I'm trying to book a flight.
And in the meantime, so I'm like,
because it's a limited sale.
So I'm doing it.
They're saying, oh, there's only two flights left.
There's three flights left.
So I'm like, fucking no.
So in the meanwhile, I'm then sending it to other mates going,
oh, well, who else wants to come or whatever?
So by the end of rehearsal,
four mates are going to Bangkok for a long weekend.
Will that be your third time in Thailand this year?
Yes.
Yes, yes.
That's the simple answer, yes.
I've been to Bangkok as well.
Sorry, I keep remembering these.
You know, when I went there, it was fantastic.
We were travelling from Hong Kong and everyone said,
there was a travel warning.
Remember the political, the red versus the yellows?
It was really quite, everyone's going, it's kind of tense.
There's a travel warning, don't go.
It's the best holiday I've ever had because the plane going over was empty.
Yes.
Right?
The hotel was empty and the notorious Bangkok traffic, which is normally bedlam,
we just had to key the city.
And it was absolutely fine.
I actually turned up at a couple of the rallies.
I'd have read a headline going, yeah!
Like, it was absolutely fine.
The level of panic that had gone in.
But I had some of the best meals I've ever had in my life in that city.
I did Phuket like a couple of months ago on the way back,
had the three seats to myself, laid down,
made my own business class.
The absolute dream.
Here's one for you, right?
Travelling to there from Hong Kong, we, at a hotel,
we went, they said, we need to go to the airport.
They go, no, you don't.
And they go, well, what do you do?
Come here.
They took our bags.
We went to a train station across the road where they checked our bags in.
We got our boarding pass, and I didn't see those bags until we got off the plane in Bangkok.
And this is just at a train station.
Imagine getting to Frankston Station.
Right?
Hello, here's my bags.
I'm going to LA.
Please give me a boarding pass.
What?
I swear to you.
Fuck, that's organisation.
At a train station in Hong Kong,
next time we saw our bags was... It's not too overseas that you appreciate how it can be done.
Like in Japan, you wait, like, what, four minutes for a train
and it's fucking bang on time, whereas here, Melbourne,
international city, you wait 22 minutes for a train on a Friday night.
Like, what the fuck is going on?
If the train's 30 seconds late in Japan, they get on the news
and they issue a formal apology to the entire country.
I saw a – sorry, Tommy.
I actually saw this.
In London, they apologised because a train was early.
Everyone travelling on the 6th Street to Chetnam, we apologiseised because the train was early. Everyone travelling
on the 6th Street to Chetnam, we apologise
it's running a minute early.
But on that note,
I ran into
a Japanese man many years ago
who was at Melbourne
Station and he goes, can you tell me when the next
train to Caulfield will be?
And I said 20 minutes. And he looked
at me like it was 1820.
It's embarrassing.
You don't know it until you get overseas.
People go, but yeah, we've fallen asleep at the wheel
when it comes to public transport.
We need to pioneer the bullet tram here.
That'd be great.
The bullet tram.
The bullet tram.
I like that.
The bullet tram.
The bullet tram.
The bullet tram already exists. There's be great. Bullet tram. Bullet tram. I like that. Bullet tram. Bullet tram. The bullet tram already exists.
There's no point just doing that.
Just get fucking from Spring Street down to Southern Cross Station in eight seconds.
When you hear a ding, get the fuck out of the way.
What about this?
The restaurant bullet tram.
I tried to touch on it and I got fucking whiplash.
Is there anything like that?
Like,
imagine trying to explain
to someone
from around the world
that there's a restaurant
on a tram
that just goes around.
Because where does it go?
Does it go to St Kilda
into the city?
Does it even go?
I don't think I've seen it
since we've all come back.
No,
it's gone.
It's gone.
No,
I found it for this
the other day.
Is it gone?
It's gone. Okay. It's gone, yeah, I found out for this the other day. Is it gone? It's gone.
Okay.
It's gone, yeah.
It was our number one tourist attraction.
Yes.
It was pre-Big Wheel, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I always wondered if the prices went up on the menu
depending on which suburb you were going from.
Yeah, yeah.
Zone 3.
Don't pay now.
We're going through South Yarra.
Wait till we get to Brunswick.
Did you ever go on it?
I did for filming purposes.
Yeah, you did a Kath and Kim, right?
Kath and Kim episode.
And the other funniest one, was it the restaurant tram
or was it just a normal tram?
Eddie McGuire's breakfast show, right?
So they decided to do a show.
For some reason, we're promoting Melbourne,
let's do the show from a tram.
So it's an empty tram with a little studio set up,
and we're at six to nine.
So people trying to go to work, right?
But this is the most dumbest idea I've ever seen.
Anyway, it's fucking pissing down, like it's monsoonal,
and there's people waiting, and they're soaked,
and they're staring
at a tram stop
and you can see
there were leafers
the tram pulls up
and then we don't
open the doors
and we're sitting there
literally banging
on the doors
soaking wet
as we ignore them
trying not to make
eye contact
why won't you
open up
tune in 105.1
you'll hear all the
what's the secret sound
me trying to get
on the fucking tram
where's the weirdest place you've trying to get on the fucking tram.
Where's the weirdest place you've had sex?
Not on this tram, that's for sure.
Hate in their eyes.
I think that's up there.
One of my favourite, what would you call it,
radio station promotions that they ever did was the Sydney to Hobart one that you told me about.
So Sydney to Hobart.
The yacht race.
Some of my favourites.
The Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
And Triple M decided to have one of those competitions.
One lucky prize winner gets to crew a Sydney to Hobart yacht.
Great prize.
Anyway, this is the year it all went pear-shaped,
and I think about 30 people died.
It was really nasty stuff.
The yachts wouldn't pull up any passengers that had fallen off the side and let them in.
But I remember watching it on the news,
and they showed this boat limping into Eden Harbour with hardened sailors, like white,
and up the back was this little girl with a triple M t-shirt in the fetal position
of the line
not a great
promotion
no one
possibly
thought this
through
well there's a few
of those
the golden mile
remember the triple M
golden mile
one mile
of
silver
of gold
coins
to go from fucking
Brighton to the city or
somewhere. In a row on the ground.
In a row on the ground. Yeah, so firstly
it wasn't well attended. So the dollar coins were
spaced about 15 metres apart.
It's not that impressive.
And secondly, how do you fucking secure
that?
People just keep nipping in and taking the coins.
There's no way. How would you not know to pick taking the coins there's no way
how would you not know to pick one up
if there's just one every 15 minutes
that's great, Armour Guard just run off their feet
protecting this batch of dollar coins
what about their, I think it was
was it, it was Perth
and had one of those
million dollar dash where
you could put as many
you get in like all the gold coins
and you've got to shovel
as many as you can in
in a minute
and they'd worked out
using the spade
that the most you could shovel in
was like 30,000
so you call it a million dollars
but it's only worth 30,000
anyway on the day
the DJ's handed him
the wrong spade
he shoveled in about
550,000.
I think it was supposed to be like one of those kiddies.
Like a trowel.
I love the idea that the DJs bought a cheaper shovel,
thinking we'll save money.
Why is there a second spade?
Why is there another spade even available?
Why is there another spade?
Where has this other spade come from?
We said, I couldn't find a spade.
I found a bucket.
This is the most bizarre.
It was the famous implosion of the Canberra Hospital.
So again, the Canberra Station, and they go, big prize,
you get to push the plunger that demolishes the Canberra Hospital.
What?
Oh, hell yeah.
Well, anyway, it went horribly wrong.
Hang on, how could it go right?
Well, people died, right?
So something went wrong.
But the picture on the front of the Canberra Times was the lucky prize winner in a tea
tea.
With a big smile on the face, pressing down on the plunger.
What?
I bet I'm not making them up.
You don't have to.
Yeah, I remember that.
The FM movie
or the FM series
needs to be made.
Yeah.
The editor just being like,
it's a hell of a photo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Otherwise we're putting
just dead bodies
on the front page.
Yeah, it's not great.
You can see a couple
still in the air
from behind.
Yeah.
Well, speaking of
disasters
like I said
I thought
you guys
are like a
junket
now like I
said
we've got
four people
going to
Bangkok
while you're
on air
right
you're doing
this while
you're
in rehearsal
well I'm
supposed to
be listening
to Adam
Hills
on the
panel
hopefully he
doesn't listen
to the show
but anyway
so I thought
right now
what I can do
is I can write
this off
maybe we can
now I haven't
brought this up
with Tommy,
but the Koh Samui Podcast Festival is no more,
but is the Bangkok Podcast Festival about to kick off in 2022?
Yeah, I could do that.
Now, I've got four guests.
I've got me and four guests.
If Tommy Daslow agrees to come,
all of a sudden we've got a podcast festival.
I've already talked to other guests.
They're very rock-sol solid keen on doing it.
Bangkok.
All we need, if only I had two very persuasive people who love a junket.
What are our dates?
What are our dates?
To convince.
What are our dates?
Yeah, yeah.
November.
Also, by the way.
Second to seventh, I think you said.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, also.
Someone's paying attention.
Yeah.
Also, now, this idea of all of a sudden turning this into a podcast festival
may be related to the fact I did this a week ago,
and I haven't thought of an idea of how to convince my wife that I'm doing this yet.
She has not been told anything about this yet.
Well...
If it's business, all of a sudden this is a legitimate reason to travel.
But if it's not business, it's just me, Brett Blake, Nick Capron, Milan,
going hell for leather
in fucking Bangkok.
Yeah,
now that'll work.
You had a good marriage.
You need to monetize that.
Yeah,
yeah.
As they say in the classics.
And it's a rare chance,
like you said,
a rare chance to go to Southeast Asia
slash the third time in six months.
Yes.
So at the moment,
I don't have a great leg
to stand on at the moment.
But if it's business.
What do you love about it?
What is it?
Because clearly,
it's your favorite part of the world.
I'm a fatuator, yeah.
There's the food.
The food is beautiful.
There's the weather.
There's the people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you had to pick one place that you, so we do this a bit, if you had to pick one place that you spend the rest of your life in, that you live in, where would it be?
I reckon, well I've been to Koh Samui a lot
and it'd be there or over the road in Copenhagen.
Yeah.
It'd be one of those two.
Tommy?
To live?
Japan, probably.
Japan?
Yeah.
Okay.
You have a particular reason about the whole oeuvre?
Food, culture, fun.
Golf courses.
Golf courses, yeah.
I'd take it up.
You'd take it up?
Those tiny stalls in the bathhouses?
Yeah.
We love those.
It's convenient so Tommy doesn't have to go into shops
and ask for used girls' underwear.
Yeah, exactly.
If you're just in the middle of the night,
have easy access to the vending machine.
Doesn't have to cold call.
They're there.
They're in a vending machine next to the burger rings.
Anime body pillows, much easier to find. You don't have to
pay the import tax that you do here.
Yeah, I was going to say Japan
as well, I think. Really?
Osaka, yeah, I loved it. You want to go
November 7th?
You should do your own podcast.
Berlin for me,
I reckon. Berlin?
If you only choose one, I've got a few good places.
What I loved about Berlin was here's the deal, if you only choose one I've got a few good places But what I loved about Berlin
Was
Here's the deal
If you're not a
If you're not a fucking idiot
You can do whatever you want
Oh
Like so they're quite adult
And they go
Yes
You can drink in the street
You can ride your bike
Without a helmet
They don't make laws
For fuckwits
Right
You know what I mean
They don't make laws
To protect
So you don't get
Have to wear high vis
Because some dickhead Might be going to kill himself.
They just go, go kill yourself.
You're getting dangerously close to Dave Hughes' arguments about the vaccine on Twitter, by the way, at the moment.
But just go easy.
But you just don't.
It's just I go over there, I have a sigh of relief and I go.
It's laws for adults, isn't it?
It's adult.
I feel Japan's got a bit of that.
I went to the baseball there and they have people who will come around to your seat
and they've got a big backpack on that's full of beer
and they'll just fill your glass up at your seat.
You just hail them, they come over and you go,
fuck, imagine that at the AFL.
There'd be fucking deaths every game.
We're just the most childish country here. We are childish country here like we are trusted with anything yeah whenever anyone fucks up in europe it's inevitably an australian backpacker who's climbed
up the pole and fallen into the fountain and fucking drowned you're allowed to have mid-strength
beer at the footy here you go to the premier league and you're not allowed to have beer yes
yeah at all in Yeah, at all.
In fact, certain games, they'll play at 12 o'clock midday
because they're like, you can't possibly get pissed enough to fuck this game up.
Well, I mean, we're an offshoot of Britain, right?
So that makes sense.
In America, if you go to the Super Bowl, go to Gridiron game,
people get fucking hammered in the car park beforehand.
And it's a tradition.
Where are you?
I've gone to, what do they call it?
Tailgate.
Tailgate.
I'm walking in there.
Everyone is smashed.
Yeah, it's unbelievable, isn't it?
I'm the most sober person here.
When you go in there,
like they discourage you by charging $20 for a Heineken,
but otherwise it's laissez-faire.
Until what they do is they then shut the, at three-quarter time,
bang, you cannot, like, they're going to get you out of there.
But up until then, they're so keen for you to get as hammered as you like,
and their laws, I think this is how they get away with it,
their laws are so strong that guys can give each other verbal abuse,
go hard as you like, but if you hit a guy
you go to jail.
So even as drunk as these guys are, there must
be something in Homer-like in the back of my
mind, do not punch.
Also too, I reckon the idea
that someone can have a gun.
I reckon that would stop a lot of fights
because you'd just be like, you just don't know.
Six pack a gun.
Yeah.
I love about the States, That's like a good day.
Yeah, what could go wrong?
I love about the States,
it's like the football
and Grateful Dead concerts
are the two things
where people are carrying on
in the parking lots
for hours and hours
before the event.
But only those two things.
There's no like middle ground.
It's like full on intense sport match
or hippie,
hippie like getting
fucked off your head.
Berlin, also pub culture.
I was about to say that.
They have the best pubs in the world, best beers in the world, best bar food.
You can get a pretzel the size of a Sharon.
Right.
You give me a big Stein and a pretzel the size of a Sharon and an outdoor beer garden
where there's dogs and you can smoke,
I'm going, I am the happiest man in the world.
Well, there was dogs in Bali
and you weren't happy with that.
It was a dead dog and it hit me on the head.
It's just an interesting question to think about sometimes.
Well, look, I haven't heard you.
I was hoping you'd help me win over Tommy Dassler here
for this proposed 2022 Bangkok podcast festival.
Oh, that's all.
That's locked in.
Yeah.
No, at the moment,
at the moment,
it's four guys on a bender.
If we add Tommy Dassault,
all of a sudden,
it's business.
Come on, Tommy.
Oh, fuck.
I thought there was more than that.
Yeah, it's not convincing me.
It's not selling me.
It's not winning me over.
It's all hands on deck.
I missed the Jetstar sale.
That's one thing.
You're slinging money on the tickets.
Tickets still on sale, Tommy, until midnight.
So you're not giving me the money yours?
No, but I can't.
I can't yet.
Oh, jeez.
You should have bought like 10, and that way you can divvy the money up.
But you can't just like buy, I'll have $10 worth of mixed tickets.
What about a GoFundMe for Tommy?
Let's get Tommy.
Mate, he's got plenty of money.
Don't worry about him.
I'm doing all right.
It's $250.
It's like going to Hobart and back.
Oh, that'd be nice.
Beautiful in November.
Start up a rival one.
No, so it's Brett Blake, Nick Capper, Milan, our friend, and me,
and then I've been on the blow to several other people
who are absolutely very keen as well.
Who else are these?
Who are these potentials?
Well, look, I don't...
Okay, potentials.
Perspectives.
Potentials.
There's two other people that have wives and families who were like...
Nick Cody.
Who heard, no, who heard my arguments of all of a sudden it's business
and went, oh, this is an absolutely very good write-off.
Look, I won't say their whole names.
I'll just give their initials.
H. Breen and N. Hussain.
So it could be anyone.
It could be anyone.
All right.
That sounds like a good crew.
They are absolutely penciled in,
which is weird with N. Hussain because he's like,
oh, my God, that'd be great.
It's like, you don't even drink.
What are you going to do?
What are you doing? Fill in Bangkok what are you doing
fill in a few blanks
for you boys
yeah yeah
he goes
I've got a
black box recorder
yeah yeah yeah
that's right
I've got a corporate
I'll come over for a few days
and then come back
as long as I can
write it off on something
I'm like
absolutely
yeah sure
do whatever you want
yeah
do whatever you can do
in Bangkok
without drinking
that there is to do
I'm not sure
what there is, but...
Shopping?
Yeah, yeah.
A little tour guide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Sharm Shopping Centre, the biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere, I believe.
The river markets, perhaps.
Yeah.
That's about it.
I think that's it.
That's sort of it.
Be stuck in traffic.
Then you're cooked.
Yeah.
I guess you can go to the four floors of Whore Sober, I guess.
Wow.
Is that Bangkok?
I thought that was somewhere else.
I don't know.
I thought...
I mean, who knows where it is, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me neither.
No comment.
I know what you're trying to do here.
You're trying to get me to jump in here and go, no, no, that's Hong Kong.
We almost had him.
We almost had him banged to rights.
Yeah.
Well, we were going to be recording this at your studio, Nick.
Yeah.
And we had to move it at the last minute.
We had to move it to here, to my house.
Yeah, apologies.
Which I was anxious about because you guys have heard it a bit.
My neighbor is doing some fucking power tools work over there.
Yeah.
Before you guys got here, he had loud trance music playing as well.
And it's devastating because this has been going on flat out for the entire year.
Like this guy, he moved in.
He's pretty young.
I think his parents own the place and they've just given it to him.
He's like 20.
So he is renovating that place.
He's not building shit out the back.
I think he's just building shit out the back.
I don't think he's renovating it.
I've seen that guy.
He's putting in a Joseph Fritzl-style room downstairs,
which takes a while.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Now you've got to get it right.
You've got to get it right.
You've got to get the atmosphere.
But over the summer, it's like this young guy and his young friends,
and we heard them kind of during the lockdown talking about
how they went to the protest, right?
So we're like, okay, they're anti-vaxxers.
So all through the summer, they're not going anywhere,
they're not doing anything because they can't get in anywhere.
So they're in their backyard non-stop, just loud conversation,
loud music like Aussie hip-hop just blasting at all hours of the night.
They had a fire pit going at one point.
It's like, it's 35 degrees.
That's burning a body.
That's a burn pit, right?
Right there, that
is. And they went to the protests.
Yeah, they were talking loudly about how they were like...
That's a bunker they're building there. That's
doomsday shit, that is.
It's nightmare stuff. So we
get fed up with it. What time do they
kick off? Is it proper trading, kicks off
at 7 and knocks off at 3, or is it...
Oh, it's like they'd start
mid-afternoon, and then they'd be going until like 3, 4 a.m.
It's like around the clock.
It's so loud.
So we get to a point,
we like mid-summer,
we were going out in the middle of the afternoon
for a friend's birthday drinks
and we're like,
okay, we're going to be out of the house for hours.
My girlfriend gets this idea of
let's get the Bluetooth speaker,
let's set it up outside because we could hear them out there.
Angle it over the fence.
Let's make a playlist of stuff that's going to fuck them off
and then just play that at full volume.
We'll be out all day.
We'll just be gone.
We'll just set this thing on a repeat.
You're curating the fuck off music list.
So what goes on?
That's a good list, though.
Yeah.
This is a good list.
It's like the one you put on at the end of the night
when you want people to go...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chumbawamba.
But having to sort of do it for people significantly younger than you, it's like...
Oh, okay.
You know what we would get at the Bullermouth Hotel in Maribor is the get the fuck out of
the pub music, Sesame Street theme.
Any of that?
Oh, yeah.
Any of that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow, that's not bad.
The best two I've heard of were both in Darwin.
One at a place called The Cage or the Netherland Park Hotel in the old days.
They used to release a saltwater crocodile.
They had that a lot.
It was a very rough pub.
I thought we were talking about music, but anyway.
I thought it was a fuck-off from a pub, I thought, which kind of skewed into it.
If I could get a crock and just lob it over the fence.
That's not bad.
So there was one.
And then the other one that I think it was the same hotel did,
they had like a horn from a tanker, a shipping tanker.
And they just...
And they just let it rip.
Until everyone was out of the bar.
Until deaf guys started turning up.
everyone was out of the bar
until deaf guys
started turning up
and just
you know
someone bought along
all these deaf mates
but it was like
they're pretty serious
I don't know
how hard you want
to go here
well this is
it was interesting to me
how quickly my girlfriend
went from just a shush
over the fence
to just full on
prisoner of war tactics
like the sort of shit
that they do
and like
if this doesn't work are we going next door and stripping him naked and putting
him in a fucking human pyramid?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I agree with that.
They were better times.
Simpler times.
Did you come up with a playlist?
So we came up with a playlist.
We were, because it was very hard to think about stuff that they would find objectionable,
but we were like, yeah.
Put yourself into the mind of a shit cunt.
Yeah, a shit cunt 20-year-old.
What are they going to find annoying?
So my girlfriend, I wanted to have, I thought a good technique would be
to have a playlist of, say, four songs that we have on shuffle.
So they can't even get their head around an order.
Like there's no rhyme or reason to what's coming up and when.
There's not too much variation.
No.
And you hit them, you're boring them to death.
But so by this point,
we're like an hour late
to the birthday thing that we're going to.
So my girlfriend cooks up a playlist
that is Moon River and Que Sera Sera.
Just those two.
Oh, just two.
We've gone back to two.
Just two.
So we put them on.
Just like David Lynchfield right there.
We get that fired up.
We get the Bluetooth speaker kind of pointed over the fence.
Tools down.
Yeah, we have that on for a little bit before we head out.
And I think on the third time Moon River starts up,
we hear them over the fence like,
and we're like, all right, this is getting results.
And this is going to be like five hours that we're out for.
Minimum, right? This is going to be like a hours that we're out for. Minimum, right?
This is going to be like a long thing.
So you're about to walk out the door when you get your first reaction?
We're walking out to like a drinks thing that's like starting in the afternoon.
But it's going to turn in.
It's like it's going to be hours.
So everything's plugged in.
We're ready to go.
We head out.
And then I start getting paranoid because I'm like,
I reckon the ending here is like, you know, we get the cops called on us.
You know, or like, house is somehow wedged into
a fire pit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
These are anti-vaxxers who went to a protest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they're shy.
You know, when we left, we're like, well, again,
this is the whole thing. It's like, they can't leave.
They can't just go, it's time to go out.
They can't get in anywhere
because they're not vaxxed
so we're like
they are going to be driven
so I'm a bit paranoid
but we come back
and they're inside
normally they would have still been
we got back at like
I think probably like 11
or midnight or something
Jesus
so normally they'd still be
very much kicking on by then
they're inside
we kind of hear them talking inside
we're like alright
this has worked
and it was like
couple of weeks of nothing best behaviour and we're like fuck We kind of hear them talking inside. We're like, all right, this has worked. And it was like a couple of weeks of nothing, best behavior.
And we're like, fuck, it worked.
We beat them.
They went and got the vax, everything.
We won.
Then after two weeks, we're sitting around here.
We hear them kind of chatting outside.
And we're like, all right, you know, bit of chat.
You know, that's fine.
It's not going to get too rowdy.
Then the Bluetooth fires up.
Moon River.
Oh!
We converted them.
Oh, no!
We fucking changed their music.
It's blowing up in your face.
We've expanded their horizons.
Hang on.
Either that or you've been too loud and they've moon-rivered you.
They're trying to get you to shut up.
It's the reverse moon.
Yeah.
I never even thought of that.
It's the reverse.
Yeah. You must have been pissing them off somehow, and they're trying to moon- to shut up. Yeah, yeah. It's the reverse moon. Yeah. Oh, I never even thought of that. It's the reverse. Yeah.
You must have been
pissing them off somehow
and they're trying
to moon river you back.
They think that's just
what you do.
No, I got the impression
that they were listening
to it for leisure.
Wow.
You know, after like
hour five,
they're like,
you know what,
now that I've heard this
for the 400th time,
it's sort of growing on me.
I miss it.
Pop it on.
Shazamming over the fence.
I like how they've drawn the lineming over the fence I like how they've
drawn the line
with K-Sara Sarar
not for me
yeah
fair enough
but that's still
50% strike rate
you're pretty happy
with that
it's still going on
though
it's still going on
and before you guys
got here
they were back onto
yeah no Moon River
but just these loud
trance playlists
so
I don't know
what we do from here
up for you know
maybe a bit of
That's Amore or something over the fence
maybe this afternoon.
You play dirty.
Sesame Street is a good one, I think.
Sesame Street is probably the way to go.
Child's music.
Baby Shark.
Baby Shark will end in violence.
That will end in a chalk outline on either yours or their side of the fence.
Yeah, that's what I need.
Recommendations from parents who it's like,
what's the stuff that you're being driven insane by that your kids are enjoying?
Yeah.
So just some like what?
You know my kids got a new one of Annoying Me With,
and my daughter is three,
and somehow she's figured out the real names,
the secret identities of me and my wife, our real first names, and she she's figured out the real names, the secret identities
of me and my wife,
our real first names
and she just comes up to me
and goes,
you're Carl.
Yeah.
And I'm like,
no, no.
Knock it off.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, daddy, no.
No, no, no.
You're Carl.
Sinister.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've done a background on you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is going to cost you.
I know where the bodies are buried.
This is going to cost you.
No, no, no. You're too young to know. This is going to cost you. I know where the bodies are buried. This is going to cost you. No, no, no.
You're too young to know.
Are they allowed to call you by your first name?
Sorry?
Can they call you by your first name?
No, I don't like that.
Don't like that?
Not in doing it.
Not for that?
I don't think she understands how that works.
She just knows that it's going to annoy me.
So that's the only reason she's doing it, just to piss me off.
Does she know the surname yet?
Is she aware of that?
She knows her surname.
Well, it's the same surname.
Yeah. But she doesn't know how surnames work universally.
Right, right.
Because I was going to say, that's creepy,
going up to you and giving you the full name.
No.
Hello, Carl Chandler.
But what I like is it's not like I've taught her how to be annoying,
but she's certainly got that bit of me in her.
She's seen enough.
She's absorbed.
I haven't taught it.
I haven't taught it is what I'm saying,
but what she's doing is she's doing that. She's giving. I haven't taught it. I haven't taught it is what I'm saying. But what she's doing is she's doing that.
She's giving me a bit of your Carl, your Carl.
And also now she does a bit of, she comes up and goes,
you're mummy.
And I'm like, no, I'm daddy.
Nah, mum.
And I go, fucking hell.
Yeah, this is like those.
You're messing with your mind.
Yeah, exactly.
This is like those ads for like domestic violence,
you know, where it's like a young child,
like seeing the parent get like abused.
And it's like, then they grow up and it's like a young child, like seeing the parent get like abused and it's like,
then they grow up and it's like a pattern behavior.
It's like no one teaches their child to do it,
but you just absorb it by being around.
You've taught her without meaning to teach it.
Yeah, yeah, because constantly I'm, you know,
all around, every night I'm going up to my wife and going,
you're a boy.
Little blankets on the ground.
She's like putting two and two together.
She's like,
I see what's going on here.
I mean,
I did say this on the pod two weeks ago,
but I did think you would like this.
I should have said this for you,
but I did about 10 years ago,
I had a joke and a guy saw me in a pub
and he heard the joke and he said to me,
I want to put that on the side of my shop,
on the side of my business.
Yes.
And it was a joke about brothels.
The joke went,
I wonder if brothels have Tide Ice Tuesday.
And if they did, I wonder if it's cheaper or more expensive.
And he goes, oh, great joke.
I'm putting that on the side of my brothel.
And I'm like, you can't do that.
That's copyright, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Got it on the high horse.
And 10 years later, I'm like, imagine if I'd let him have my joke on the side of a brothel. How good would this be?
That is.
And then you get your photo taken at the front of the song on the brothel,
which becomes the cover of your new album.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah.
No, but how good would that be?
I can't believe I've just completely 180'd it.
Dodgy, like, cartoon mural of you.
Yes.
With a speech bubble coming out saying the joke.
Like, you know, Dan Andrews, Get On The Beers or something.
Yeah, yeah. I'm just the hero on the side of top of the town. Because Dan Andrews get on the beers or something.
I'm just the hero on the side of
top of the town
because that's what it was.
Yeah, you do a contra deal.
Yeah.
I agreed to that way too quick.
I thought yours was good, Mick.
You got a mural
on the side of my
favourite sandwich shop
in Melbourne
but yeah,
mural on the side
of the brothel.
I have.
You do, yeah.
Yeah, well,
it's either me
or Mrs Doubtfire. I'm really not..., it's either me or Mrs Doubtfire.
I'm really not sure.
It's me, Matt Preston, or Mrs Doubtfire.
I'm not sure.
You're on the side of Hector's Deli, right?
On Hector's Deli, that's right.
Oh, yeah, Richmond.
That's when you're made in Richmond.
It's me and Dusty, I think, at the moment.
Is it really?
I have Dusty in my house.
I haven't even noticed that.
No, and there's also one on the side of a brothel.
Oh, so that's who replaced me.
That's more like having your name on the wall at the comedy store, though.
One of the greats to tread the boards.
He built this joint.
He built this joint.
We never bill him, but he might just drop in if you want to come down.
What are you saying on the side of Hector's?
What's the context of Mick Bane?
It's you in a Richmond jersey, right?
It was the first.
I think everyone got overexcited in 2017.
Yeah, the premiership.
We had the first premiership.
It was the lead up.
And there'd been a hype and we'd been talking at,
you know, turning on town hall lights.
And people in Richmond were skipping around the suburb
like it was the opening number of a musical.
Good morning, good morning.
Everyone was so elated.
Because you're a famous Richmond football club fan.
I am a well-known Richmond fan.
I bought the last three houses I have bought,
one after the other.
Must be nice.
I've all been walking distance to the MCG.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so I map it out.
How many steps?
Before I even go to an inspection, I go, how many?
Right.
Well, you might enjoy this.
Now, I used to work for the AFL.
I used to work at the AFL for about five or six years.
And I had a boss.
In what capacity?
I was a graphic designer.
I used to do publications that would come out,
some little bits in the AFL record, stuff like that, right? Now, I had a boss there that was a graphic designer. I used to do publications that would come out, some little bits in the NFL record, stuff like that.
Now, I had a boss there that was a big Richmond supporter,
and he had a conspiracy theory.
Mick Malloy doesn't really barrack for Richmond.
What do you think about that?
I think he's one to watch.
He could be.
He can't trust the rule of the sandwich.
What would be my motivation?
I don't know.
What master plan am I working on?
Yeah, because that was a really sad team to not follow for 37 years.
That was really sad.
Why would I spend 30 years barracking for the worst team?
This was in 2017.
This is like 2010.
It's like, mate, we were shithouse.
Why is he pretending to barrack for someone that's 15th?
Very strange.
I think he was going a bit cabin fever crazy in the bottom dwells of the fucking ladder.
2010, I'll tell the story.
2010 or 2011, Richmond were eight losses, no wins, and I'd finally had enough.
I went, fuck this.
So I went across the road and bought a Melbourne Storm membership because they were eight wins, no losses.
I went, yes.
and bought a Melbourne Storm membership because they were eight wins, no losses.
I went, yes.
Later that week, Melbourne Storm was stripped of all their points
in a salary cap debacle.
I now barrack for two sides that have no points
and we're eight rounds in.
Tell your boss to fuck off.
Tell your mate he's a fucking...
Tell him to come and see me.
That's what I wanted.
I don't know.
Why would you do it?
What possible advantage?
I always say to Jeff Stilson.
What's the opposite of glory, Hunter?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Self-flagellation.
I'm in the Grand Tower whipping myself.
Jeff Stilson, who you would know.
Yes, American comedian.
Comedy writer, great comedian from America.
He came out and at the height
of our hopelessness became a Richmond supporter and signed his kids up as a Richmond supporter
when they moved to Australia. I said, why did you do that? And I hope he doesn't mind
me telling the story because he tells it himself in his stand-up. But he came out and he goes,
well, I went to the AFL shop in September
and they were the only
jerseys they had in stock
and that's why I go,
didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you what I wanted to do?
That's very polite of you to go,
well, I hope he doesn't mind me telling
in case he tells it in his stand-up. He's lived in America for 10
years. If he's telling that story
at the Comedy Cellar in New York, I don't know how well he's going. his stand-up. He's lived in America for 10 years. If he's telling that story at the Comedy Cellar in New York,
I don't know how well he's going.
And listening to this.
He's another one who's been on,
probably doesn't remember it.
No.
Has he?
Oh, yeah, again,
he's probably on the week after you.
He's my favourite comedian.
All right, we'd better wrap it up there
for another week on The Little Dum Dum Club.
Mick Malloy, Adam Rosenbach,
thank you so much for joining us.
Thanks, boys.
Things that you would like to plug?
No, I'd just like Carl to bring the car around.
If I could.
The front bar, Mick Malloy's on every Wednesday night this year.
Just move to Thursday. Now, it depends if there's a Thursday
night match on, we're on Wednesday.
If not, we're on Thursday.
That's great
we got anything
else to plug
Rosie writes on
that so it's a
double plug
and I've got the
Junk Time AFL
podcast if you're
into your footy
check it out
I pulled a pin
on that one too
yes you did
when are you
having me back
August we're
going to have
you back
August
so go down to
Richmond home

if you can find
Mickey you won't
according to my
dad and my
dad my boss my ex boss, my ex-boss.
The guys want to start the drilling again.
Go under that mural on the side of Hector's Deli
and throw eggs at it
because it's a fucking bald-faced lie.
Paint a Fitzroy jumper under it.
All right, all right.
I think we're done here.
All right.
Thanks very much for listening.
We'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
And they've done it again.
Oh.
We got him.
We got our white whale.
Oh, he didn't like that.
He did not like that at all.
He knew what you meant.
He was playing funny, but he was there.
Comedy.
He was playing my book.
You're right.
Very nice of him, too.
He's a very busy man, and he's got better shit to do than do our show, so I'm good of him, too. And he was very nice of him to, he's a very busy man and he's got better shit to do than do our show.
So I'm good with him too.
And he was, he was very nice about it and nearly happened a bunch of times, but we did
make it happen.
But he was saying to Rosie, I've got to do it for those boys.
I owe them.
I owe them.
Like, well, you don't owe us at all.
Yeah.
You don't owe us shit.
Yeah.
What does he, who does he think we are?
Like what?
Yeah.
Is this a mistaken identity thing where he like maybe two random guys saved his life
one day in the street and he thinks we're them
I don't know
couple of open micers
dug him out of a well
yeah
no very nice of him
you know
I meant to
how was that car ride home
I didn't
oh yeah
that's right
we talked about that
on the show
no he was nice
what did we
what did we talk
we talked about
stand up comedy
fuck yeah
talked about stand up comedy
is he getting back into it oh you'll see never say never What did we talk? We talked about stand-up comedy. Fuck yeah. Talked about stand-up comedy.
Is he getting back into it?
Oh.
You'll see soon. Never say never.
Never say never.
You'll see soon is what I'll say.
All right.
You might be seeing him down at a certain comedy club in a certain basement in Melbourne soon.
Okay.
Fritzl's Chuckle Hut.
Yeah.
There's a lot to be said about you can only get out of this car if you do a gig for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. Just the old beam's still got gig for me. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Just the old beam has still got the central locking.
Fuck, it has central locking, doesn't it?
That's genuinely shocking.
No, no, no, central locking.
I don't think it was meant to have central locking, but I fucked it so hard,
now it just has involuntary central locking.
One door just doesn't open.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great.
So, yeah, yeah, you might be seeing him down the room dusting off a few cobwebs soon,
I was going would say.
Too bad.
So that's good.
But I was going to say I meant to say this, but I don't think I meant to say it because
I don't think it went anywhere.
But I would say this.
I think this about Mick Malloy.
I reckon he's our, he's Australia's Adam Sandler.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, certainly in the sense that he's made, when he was, the films that he made are of
a Sandler-esque nature.
Yeah, that sort of vintage, that sort of humour, I reckon,
and very genuinely, very, very funny man, and very loyal.
Like, you know, Sandler's got his boys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Malloy's got his boys.
Yeah, that's true.
Got his guys around him that he does a lot for and whatever.
Same with Sandler.
Very loyal and very generous.
Yep.
Very generous as well.
Yep.
And all the stories you hear out of both camps is like, good bloke.
Yep.
And not chasing the limelight, if you can say that, about two people who are like big stars.
You know what I mean?
Sure, sure.
Not into being famous
just for the sake of being famous.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just likes what he does.
Not neither of them are, you know,
like fucking big Instagram whores
or anything like that.
Right.
Like that sort of thing.
Right.
I mean, yeah,
Sandler's not making movies
because he's like desperate
to be in the public eye.
He's like fucking making shit with his crew.
Just has a funny idea.
Just likes being funny.
Yeah, he just likes...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just like, you know, one of the greats.
Our Charlie Chaplin likes pretending to have a mental illness.
Yeah, yeah.
No, so I think there's a lot of parallels.
So, yes, I think that's all accurate,
but, yeah, I didn't think any of that would be...
I think he would have been quite bashful about that sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's worth saying,
but I don't think he would have riffed on it too much.
No, yeah, you're right. It would have made him quite uncomfortable. Yeah, and also because it's like, oh worth saying, but I don't think he would have riffed on it too much. No, yeah, you're right.
It would have made him quite uncomfortable.
And also because it's like, oh, yeah, he's very loyal and he's six by his people.
And then you look at Rosenbachs and go, yeah, because you're a fucking basket case.
And, you know, he's just like looking after you.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mate, he got you on this podcast.
We had you on because you're his mate.
Yeah, I grew up listening to Martin Malloy on the radio.
I had the Eat Your Peas CD.
There was one point on the podcast where Mick mentioned something about a stein.
And I remember there was a great bit on that CD about him getting the shits about
Oktoberfest wasn't going to have the stein anymore.
And I fucking loved that bit.
And it was really fanboying in my
head well i don't want to just bring it up and go do the fucking bit well i'm glad you said that
because i also sort of thought i like to go into those shows and and not be a big fanboy or whatever
but i could have easily done that because that was the that was a seminal tv show the late show
yeah yeah yeah in the uh early 90s that was the show that you would uh definitely stay in for or
you know get someone get mom and dad to tape it if you were going out or
anything like that.
That was like the show.
That was the show where you go, fuck, Australian comedy can be good.
Yeah.
You'd watch all the fast forward and all that dog shit and be like, well, I guess it's our
dog shit.
But that late show, I was like, this is fucking as funny as anything I've seen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is real good.
Holds up a lot of it too.
Yeah.
I like when Mick said that he referred to being in my share house.
It's like, I mean, I'm sharing it with my girlfriend.
Right, right.
Stretch to call it a share house.
Well, I guess it's pretty easy when you walk into a house in your suburb.
You just sort of assume.
There's fucking eight cunts living in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a bit of Kangaroo Court in London.
That's it.
Sort of vibe to it.
Yeah, it's a bit of kangaroo court in London sort of vibe to it.
So sorry to any comedy nerds out there that wanted us to go comedy nerd style,
but I feel like it's our duty to be funny rather than... We probably did that when it was on 10 years ago.
Yeah, maybe.
But go and listen back to that one.
I don't like going Paco style.
No.
I'd rather try and be funny and make a person I find very funny laugh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally.
That's the aim.
You get that guy laughing at one of your jokes, you're like,
oh, yeah, there we go.
Done all right here.
Instead of, when you used to put your helmet on and crash headfirst
into a donkey's ass, where did you get that idea from?
Yeah, were you really playing lawn balls in Cracker Jack?
Did you have to practice?
But, yes, yeah, were you really playing lawn balls in Cracker Jack? Did you have to practice? But, yes, yeah, great episode.
And you can, of course, if you want more great episodes.
If you're not getting enough from your weekly fix,
you can head on to patreon.com slash little dum-dum club
and get yourself two bonus episodes, Mondays and Fridays,
little mini bonus episodes.
Not only that, but it supports the show and it supports us
and it means that we couldn't have recorded this episode if we had day jobs. Yes, that, but it supports the show and it supports us and it means that we couldn't
have recorded this episode if we had day jobs.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So if we had had a day job because we had no money because of the Patreon, that episode
would never have existed.
It wouldn't have existed, yeah.
You can't be saying to Mick, yeah, we're doing it.
We sort of have to do it at like 9pm every night.
Can you do that?
Yeah.
No chance.
No fucking chance.
That took us about about that took us probably
well that was that was six months worth of work trying to get him on getting a spare hour to get
him on the show i reckon that was being circulated pre-pandemic i reckon i reckon there was a point
at 2019 where we came close to it happening i think i yeah, look, I don't, I'm not sure about that.
But I've sent
him messages
but I don't think
he knows how to reply
to messages.
So,
there was just a lot,
that was a long,
long time of negotiating
with Adam Rosenbach
because he works with him
and stuff like that.
But,
yes,
back to the point of Patreon.
Patreon.
You get two bonus episodes
a week
and you also go into the draw
to get your name read out
and immortalised in an episode of Little Dumb Dumb Club.
It could be this very episode that we're recording on a Saturday evening.
The vibe in here is electric.
And it's a nice thing to have it on a certain episode.
Like, you know, five people maybe, potentially.
Like, we don't have a heap of time.
Yep.
Because we're recording this in the basement at Basement Comedy Club in Melbourne.
If you want to come down Friday, Saturdays, we're recording it here
because I'm about to set up for my show on a Saturday night.
But it is nice to have your name read out on an episode.
You can say, oh, I'm on the Mick Molloy episode.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I met Mick Molloy once.
I bet there'd be some people who'd be trying that on.
My name was read out within 15 minutes of Mick Moore being talking on this show.
That's something.
I worked with him once.
Yeah.
We were on the same podcast.
We were on the same bill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Open for Mick Malloy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Closed for Mick Malloy.
Closed for Mick Malloy.
He opened for me.
Yeah, yeah.
That's not too bad.
I, because I remember like we both did a bit of writing on the show Rove.
Rove Live or Rove?
It was just Rove. Just Rove.
Just Rove when it finished.
I believe it was still live.
Yes.
They got that out of the title.
It was live on tape.
Yeah.
Live recorded to tape, as they say.
I did the last couple of weeks of it, I think.
I got it at the Oaks.
So I wrote jokes.
I got jokes on air the episode that Borat was on.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was excited by that.
Just like, oh, I was technically on the Borat episode.
Yeah, Borat probably saw one of your jokes while he was sitting in the green room.
Yeah, yeah.
It probably inspired Bruno.
Yeah, maybe.
One of my jokes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That bit where Rove went, I was at a cafe and I saw a duck sandwich.
What the?
It was...
Imagine if you inspired Bruno.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love this guy.
He just...
He heard one of my jokes and went, this Borat thing is for the birds.
I've got to get some of this homophobic stuff going on.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I had Carrie Bickmore doing a very anti-gay joke on the...
No.
That would have been good, though.
But, yeah, so someone is about to join that club
and being able to say,
fuck, a man, Mick Moore, rubbed shoulders.
Audio rubbed shoulders.
So let's open up the old Patreon mailbag, so to speak.
Let's do it.
First cab off the rank
Thank you very much to
Someone
Oh this guy's been waiting
Quite a while
So apologies
Sometimes people are waiting
Quite a while
Sometimes people
Waiting not so long
But this guy's been waiting
Quite a while
Okay
Thank you very much to
The very patient
Patreon subscriber
Mitchell Bennett
Mitchie Ben.
Bennett.
Hey, no need to abbreviate the Mitchell.
He's already got Bennett abbreviated.
It's a Bennett with one T.
B-E-N-N-E-T.
Benet.
Yeah.
Jean Benet.
Michael Mitchell Benet Ramsey.
Mitchell Benet.
Ramsey.
Did you ever watch The Staircase?
No.
Okay.
It's kind of linked in my head to the JonBenet Ramsay stuff.
You know the story of it?
No.
It's a true crime thing.
It's one of the first true crime docos.
This guy's wife fell down a flight of stairs and died,
and it was like this big court case because there was all this stuff about her injuries
that was kind of sass and everyone kind of thought he did it.
And they've just brought out a drama...
Like, it's very, like, of its time,
true crime doco,
where they've just hired a film crew
to just be there.
So it's very fly-on-the-wall doco.
So they've made this dramatisation of it
that's just started.
And it's just like they're re-enacting the doco.
Right.
Like, it's so dull.
It's like, why the fuck does this exist?
Right.
When the doco is already just showing you everything
like it's
it's fucking bizarre
but our Tony Collette
is in it
and good for her
Collette with
two T's at the end
which I think
which I respect a lot more
than this character
yes
that's as good as it gets
this
that reminds me
that dramatisation
do you know
I've
you know
because I've got my head
pretty deep into
Thailand news all of a sudden not all of a sudden but like all the time on social medias and whatever I'm really dramatization do you know i've you know because i've got my head pretty deep into uh thailand
news all of a sudden i mean not all of a sudden but like all the time on on social medias and
whatever i'm really i really only want to see pictures of beaches and go imagine being there
yeah but then i see all these other news i'm like oh okay so whenever there's like getting a good
run on the news uh beautiful day down there today that's our top story man a lot but a lot of people
are like me in that in lockdown and in um you know not being
able to travel anywhere the i've talked about this before but like i've i've i started watching a lot
of you know youtube vlogs and stuff of people that were stuck in thailand going check it out guys and
it's like it's become like travel porn where you're like fucking imagine being there and it
like it's literally not just me there's like so many people that are like in the same headspace as me
going fuck
yeah yeah yeah
I wish I was there
and these people just
fucking absolutely
like monetizing
and whatever
and now they're like
fuck what do I do now
they've just been doing
laps of Thailand
for two years
what do I do now
I don't know
Cambodia
and everyone's like
who gives a fuck
we're going to go there ourselves
yeah their new travel vlog
thing is going to be
ah here I am in Melbourne
fucking beautiful Swanston Street oh well i guess i'm pulling
down my pants now what's the next thing like what else can we do doing dares yeah doing jackass
yeah just hammering their dick um so you never saw you didn't see jackass for you did you i haven't
4.5 going up uh this week on net. Yep. But four's not on
Netflix.
No.
But 4.5 is.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is like, they
did this for three.
This is like the
extra bit of
bullshit.
To be fair, I need
to go back and have
a look.
I never even saw
the last movie.
You never saw
three?
No.
Fuck, man.
Three's great.
Yeah.
I'll go back and
have a look.
But what I was
going to say was that I so I've watched Thailand news,
you know, some of it, whatever.
Getting a VPN so you can just get onto the Thai equivalent of like 7 Plus.
Yeah, that's...
Live watch the news.
I'm watching a lot of Thai Koshi every morning.
Yep, yep, yep.
Yeah, Thai Sam Mac, give me the weather in Phuket.
But when something goes wrong, when they have a court case,
when they have a trial, a murder case, something like that,
you know what they do that I think maybe is uniquely Thai,
and I've never heard of it with any other country,
is that when, say, for example, a murder happens,
they get the accused to go out and reenact it.
That's pretty cool.
How insane is that yeah so they get they
get them out and they put them in some fucking amateur drama production they get them to like
dress the way that they've been accused of dressing on the night and then like walk down
the street pretend to stab someone or whatever it is and like get them to all act it out that's
pretty cool there there was a film about that like ages ago that I don't think it was Thai people
but it was like something along the lines of like
getting these people who had been
in wars and like committed some pretty
fucked up war crimes and stuff to
reenact the stuff that they'd done.
And it was like they're all like super old by this
point and they all got really fucked up by it. It was
like oh yeah having to do this on the other side
was like really full on.
It's really shown us like the evils that we perpetrated back in the day.
Right.
Just rubbing their nose in it sort of thing.
A little bit.
I think it was meant to, yeah, I remember watching it and not, I don't think I really
got it.
I maybe need to like watch it again because it's been like 10 years since I saw it.
But that is pretty cool.
I do like that because there's nothing worse than like a bad reenactment on Australia's Most Wanted or whatever.
But where does it end?
Do you reenact the white collar crimes as well?
Just like some cunt at a fucking PC.
Yeah, just pretending to embezzle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's a good kind of old school kind of like Town Square sort of like being ridiculed by the public kind of thing. It's old school kind of like you know town square sort of like being
ridiculed by the public kind of thing it's like classic sort of public shaming well also it's a
little bit of like oh you smoke the cigarette we'll smoke the whole packet yeah yeah you like
it then you stab someone oh go and fucking stab them again i wonder if they play up the people
that are doing it whether they're like you know i fucking didn't you know they've got the script
of like how the reenactment's meant to go. And they're like, I didn't fucking do it like this.
It was later than this.
Or when they go, like they're trying to, you know, say that they didn't do it.
So it's like, oh, is this how you stab someone?
It's like, no, you're holding the wrong end of the knife.
You fucking cut your hand open.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I don't even, I've never even seen a knife before.
Sorry, guys.
Or they're like, yeah, they're on set.
They're like, so now just do what you were doing on the night.
Ah, well, I was at home. So you'll need to build a set of a living room,
and then I'll just sit in there and watch TV,
and then, yeah, that's the reenactment done.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
But, yeah, Mitchell Bennett, do you reckon he's ever committed any crimes?
Well, surname crimes, for starters.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Or his ancestors, unless he's the, unless he's, you know,
unless this is like, you know, your name's Thomas, abbreviated to Tommy,
unless this is his abbreviation, Mitchell Bennett, justated to Tommy. Unless this is his abbreviation.
Mitchell Bennett.
Just whack the T off the end.
Yeah.
Bennett.
Just say it a tiny bit quicker.
The double T's a weird one.
You don't need a...
When's there ever a double T really selling the sound?
Well, the first thing that you said was Benet.
That eliminates all doubt.
If you put a double T, there's no one suggesting that, is there?
You've never seen Bennett written down and gone, Benet, have you? As a double T.'s no one suggesting that is there you've never seen Bennett written down
and gone
Benet
have you
as a double T
you'd be a fucking idiot
you'd be a fucking idiot
to do that
but I wouldn't have assumed
this name was Benet
just if I came across it
in the wild
I was doing that
for the sake of
I don't know
I was just making
conversation
I was just making
small talk with you
oh thanks man
yeah yeah
it was getting awkward
before you brought that up
yeah yeah
it's cornered at a party
like fuck what can we talk about?
Show me your license and I'll pronounce your name wrong.
Yeah, how many consonants you got in your name?
Oh, it's one less than I thought.
Just looking around for your girlfriend before you go to the party.
Fuck, where is she?
Yeah, I've got to work tomorrow.
Fuck.
Do you want a drink?
I'm thinking I might go.
I'm thinking about getting a three real quick.
Yeah, yeah.
And then you just pretend you lost him.
You're like, oh, mate.
Yeah, I couldn't see you.
I didn't move.
No one else was talking to me.
I went to the toilet.
No shit.
Yeah.
The toilet got stuck.
It got stuck.
Well, thanks, Mitchie.
Thanks, Mitchell Benet or Bennett.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Caitlin Kearney.
Caitlin Kearney.
Yeah, CK.
CK herself. Caitlin Kearney. K-E-. Yep, CK. CK herself.
Caitlin Kearney.
K-E-A-R-N-E-Y.
Kearney's one of the bullies in The Simpsons, isn't he?
It is.
One of Jimbo's little mates.
It is.
The one with the long hair, I believe?
Yes.
I was thinking about this today.
Kearney, very much like a background character.
Lucky if he gets a line in an episode, really.
Even when all the bullies are holding court.
It's like Jimbo's the one who's getting all the lines
And Ha Ha Guy
Nelson
Yeah, Nelson's the kind of front and centre
But certainly the era of Simpsons that I'm most familiar with
Kearney's, you know, barely ever getting a line in
But a character that I bet by now, like 35 years in or whatever
I bet there's at least two episodes that are all about him
I bet they've had to reach in and be like, yeah, what's Kearney's backstory?
Let's see his home life and let's have a whole episode about him.
Oh, it's the one where Kearney and Lisa Elopan go to Mars.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's very season 35.
Like I saw there's a company that's made a line of action figures of McBain and there's
like from one of the films that you see in an early episode so it's like Mendoza
and like McBain's partner
who gets like gunned down
and I was just like saw them advertised
and I was like oh that's kind of cool like that's a cool little throwback
thing from I guess it's like season 4 or 5
and then I was thinking about like the character
of McBain and Rainier Woolcastle and
there is that point in The Simpsons where they kind of
they kind of dropped off him like the
Schwarzenegger parody thing.
But again, it's like, I bet there's been whole episodes
in the time that I've stopped watching
that are just all about Rainier Wolfcastle making a Hollywood comeback.
Ah, Rainier Wolfcastle's getting me too'd.
The Simpsons has done it again.
They've got their finger on the pulse.
Because it is funny otherwise.
Someone just coming in and seeing The Simpsons on TV now and going,
oh, I've never really heard of this show.
I might just have a bit of a look.
And it's like, oh, this is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A movie star from the 80s.
Okay.
Yeah, that's great.
So you don't know.
You're not familiar with the show.
You're watching it and it's like an episode all about Kearney.
And you're watching it and you're like, I mean, that fucking bald dad seems really funny.
Why aren't they giving him more screen time?
Like, have him fall off a cliff or fucking get really fat or something like that.
This is a missed opportunity, guys.
Having the McBain thing is like, you know, when you started watching, having like a character
based on fucking Steve McQueen or something and going, oh, yeah, I guess this is good.
Yeah.
He's having a big, driving his car over a fucking fence in the middle of the bush.
I guess that's cool.
Right, yeah, yeah.
I mean, having a Schwarzenegger parody now is like,
that sort of archetype doesn't really exist, does it?
I guess it's kind of The Rock or...
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, those movies aren't...
I mean, you'd have, I guess, a Tom Cruise-type character
or some shit like that.
I'm sure they've had a Tom Cruise parody somewhere along the line.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's Kearney.
But thank you, Caitlin Kearney.
Caitlin Kearney.
I like it.
I'm generally not a huge fan of alliteration, but this is phonetic alliteration.
It's not the same letter.
Yes.
You're getting the joy of it without the name looking stupid.
No offence to anyone.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just wondering whether we're allowed to say that we know someone with that same first name.
Are we allowed to say that or not?
Why do you think we might not be?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't like talking about some people that are close to me and their names.
So I just wondered whether...
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, let's say that we were to say it.
What next?
That's interesting, isn't it?
Yeah, we know a Caitlin.
We know a Caitlin that goes out with a friend of the show?
Yep.
A person that's a friend of the show?
Yep.
And that person...
Well, this is what's interesting.
That person used to listen to this show and probably subscribe to this show and now
yeah since they started going out with a friend of the show does not listen not listen subscribe
or anything like that yep so completely off off it now yep and there's more um oh yeah do you
guys still do that show it's like yeah you used to love this show yeah well i mean it's really
it's the ultimate you know people put in on Patreon and they,
you know, they get the two bonus episodes a week and they think, fuck, it doesn't get
any better than this.
Guess what?
It can.
Yeah.
You can snag yourself a fiance out of it.
Yes.
It's the ultimate, the dream of every podcast listener is to end up betrothed to a regular
guest.
That's what tier is that on Patreon?
Yeah, we should.
Yeah.
We should have a tier where it's like, we'll find you a partner from the ranks of people
who've been on the show.
And we just...
We'll set you up with someone.
On the Patreon page, we just have all the pictures of our single guests.
Yeah.
Take your pick.
Which, honestly, there aren't many.
In fact, there might almost be none.
There's a couple.
No, there's a couple.
There's a couple.
Well, I mean, I guess that speaks to our age, I guess, now.
You get to a certain age and...
Shut up.
Yeah, that sort of thing happens.
So, you know, 10 years ago, fucking, you know...
I remember my girlfriend at the time, who's now my wife, would be like,
Oh, you know, I've got single friends wife, would be like, oh, you know,
I've got single friends, you know, you guys, you know, you've got single friends, what
are they doing, you know?
And I'm like, absolutely do not do this.
Like, not because I want to be involved in any way, I'm just like, they're all dropkicks.
They're fucking comedians.
Like, you don't want your friends involved in the lives of fucking comedians.
Yeah, I had this conversation with my girlfriend recently, like, yeah, we've got a friend who's
single and, yeah, my girlfriend got a friend who's single.
And, yeah, my girlfriend was like,
who could we set her up with?
I'm like, I literally don't know anyone who's single.
Yeah.
Which is like, that's part of the problem.
Yeah.
She's a single friend.
It's like, there's no one left.
Yeah.
Everyone's fucking paired off.
This sucks.
Yeah.
This is fucked.
Yeah.
You've got to wait.
You've got to wait until everyone gets divorced
at 50 or something now.
That's it.
Second round. Yeah. Well, thanks, Caitlin. Thanks, Caitlin or something now. That's it. Second round.
Yeah.
Well, thanks, Caitlin.
Thanks, Caitlin Kearney.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Anthony Hutchins.
Hutcho.
Tony Hutch.
Yeah.
Now, that's a good name.
Tony Hutch.
That's a good nickname.
That's really good.
That's chopping off the start and end of your actual name.
You're just taking the riddle. Getting rid of the
N and the N's
and just going
Tony Hutch.
Yep.
Fucking some vowels off.
Yeah.
And consonants.
Tony Hutch.
If your friends
don't call you that
as a nickname,
fuck that.
Get it going.
Be that cool guy
that starts a nickname
for himself.
Yeah.
That comes off the
tongue real easy.
Tony Hutch.
Tony Hutch.
It's a fucking
pleasure to say.
Yeah. I'd probably gravitate towards this It's a fucking pleasure to say. Yeah.
I'd probably gravitate towards this person so I get to say it.
Yeah.
It's a good one to hold onto for a script.
It's a great cop name.
Yeah.
And also one of those guys that you get to say the full name of a lot.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's certain people that you don't mind saying their full name.
Who's up there for you?
Who do you love as a full namer?
Oh, that is a good question. I've said that that now i've got to provide a fucking yeah uh well to be honest straight away i've i've thought of nick capper just because for whatever i think it's less than
the name and more the i just like to say his name back to him in his voice nick capper yeah yeah
yeah that is a good one i think that's more that think that speaks to more how fun it is to use his voice back to him.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it still works.
Nick Capper.
Nick Capper.
Tony Hutch.
Tony Hutch.
Tony Hutch.
Tony Hutch.
Tony Hutch.
But, yeah, Tony, good name.
Great name.
Name I wanted when I was a kid.
Really?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't you?
Yeah.
I had a very brief moment where I wanted James as my name.
I don't know why.
Yeah.
Yeah, don't know why.
James is such a boring name.
Yeah, I don't know.
Was that maybe what it was?
You're like, Carl sticks out too much.
No.
I want James.
I don't know. I never really got a... Even, weirdly, in Maribor, I don't know. Was that maybe what it was? You're like, Carl sticks out too much. No. I want James. I don't know.
I never really got a...
Even weirdly, in Maribor, it didn't really, you know, come to me that that was like a...
Not an out there name, but like a fucking different name in Maribor, I guess.
Okay, right.
With a K.
Just like whatever, but...
James Chandler.
Yeah, I don't know why.
Jimmy Chandles.
Yeah, Jimmy.
Jimmy Chandles.
Jimmy Chuckles.
Yep.
But Tony. Tony Chandler. Tony's... Yeah, Chandles. Jimmy Chuckles. Yep. But Tony.
Tony Chandler.
Tony's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tony is a good name.
Tony's kind of my nickname with some of my friends.
Right.
Because my friend's mum called me Tony once.
Oh, right.
By accident.
Right.
And then now I'm just on Tony.
So I spend a lot of my time referring to myself as Tony.
Right.
To a set group of friends.
So I kind of feel like I'm a bit of an honorary Tony.
Mm.
You know? And I gotta say, when I do it like I'm a bit of an honorary Tony. You know?
And I've got to say, when I do it, I prefer this over Tommy.
It feels nice.
It would be nice if you collected the whole set and changed,
had both of your names as stage names.
Tony Dasolo. Tony Dasolo.
Because Tony does, Dasolo, of course, sounds Italian,
despite the fact it's not Italian.
It's made up.
And Tony is more Italian.
Absolutely. It would actually fit a lot better It's made up. No, yep. And Tony is more Italian. Absolutely.
It would actually fit a lot better.
Tony Dassolo.
Tony Dassolo.
Is Tony, like, traditionally...
Is it a traditionally Italian name or were you just thinking that because of the Sopranos?
I think...
Yeah.
Anthony, yeah.
I don't know if there's any direct lineage there or whether it's just like, you know...
Yeah, no, you're right because I'm thinking of all the Italian soccer players that I can
think of.
I can't think of any Tonys.
I can't think of any famous soccer-playing Tonys.
Maybe it's, I don't know.
Antonio.
It's certainly a name that you instantly think of.
Yeah, but I wonder if that's...
Is it more American Italian?
Oh, right, which is like the furthest away from like actual Italian culture is like the New Jersey
Italian.
Right.
Is like so far removed from.
It's like Pizza Hut.
Yeah.
Versus actual pizza.
Yeah.
Maybe it's like.
Well, that's a great Sopranos episode where they go to Italy and they're all pumped and
then they get there and they fucking hate it because they can't get like.
They're in this beautiful seaside town and they're having like fresh seafood and they're
like, where's the fucking pizza?
Right.
Like they're all fucking. They're all really mad that they can't get all their bullshit new jersey
italian version yeah the italians are there going like what are you fucking talking about we don't
even know what that is where's a fucking cannoli right paul is fucking hating it right just liver
that he yeah that he's got to eat that he's got to lower himself to eating like fresh lobster and
shit right so i think it, I think you would get,
I think you would get a lot of that.
I can't think of another culture that's got like that big of a chasm
of just like, you know what I mean?
Where a bunch of them are settled and just,
and it's just gone so far removed from the country of origin.
Yeah.
I mean, I think sort of semi-famously like butter chickens,
like, you know, like an English invention.
That's true.
There's a lot of English Indian people going back to the homeland and going,
where's the fucking butter chicken?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess that's, you're right.
But I guess like deep, like Indian people that are like living in London,
are they gravitating towards butter chicken to begin?
I always got the impression it's been something that's just created for the white man.
It's like, it's coming and the real ones are getting their fucking, you know,
sake paneer or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, I could go into you tonight.
I think I'll get knocked back.
You'll get knocked back?
Yeah.
By the Indian restaurant?
Well, I'm suggesting it to my girlfriend.
Oh, okay.
Right.
I like the idea.
You're getting knocked back.
No, you're too...
Your little stomach can't take it.
Yeah, yeah.
Not even the butter chicken.
Not even a mild butter chicken.
We've heard about you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just too white. You can't even do butter chicken not even a mild butter chicken we've heard about you yeah you're just too white you can't even do butter chicken fuck that's pathetic yeah that
would be that would be awesome though like walking in an indian guy just looking at you and going nah
yeah nah mate no chance it is funny like you know not tonight where you go where you walk in and go
right what could i do tonight and just immediately you know, nah, not pizza, not India, not Thai.
Yeah, Chinese, that would work really well.
Like things, not even like,
like things get immediately fucking struck off.
Immediately you're like, there's no way I could do that.
I just don't feel, I'm not putting away a pizza.
It's not happening.
It's not in that zone.
And then two days later, you're the absolute opposite.
It's like, that's the only thing I want.
Pizza's a great one
where it's like,
it's rare for me
that it comes into my head.
But when it does,
it's so overpowering.
It's like,
I fucking need a pizza tonight.
This isn't a preference.
This has to happen
or I'll kill myself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've done that before
where I've decided
at like three in the afternoon,
fuck,
I could kill a pizza.
That's what I'm going to do.
Six o'clock,
I'm going to get this pizza. And then something comes up and something gets in your way and you're like
oh my god i don't think it's gonna fucking happen yeah what the fuck am i gonna do yeah like i've
been waiting to fucking get this pizza yeah this is the only thing i have to live for yeah how am
i gonna fucking deal with this and you and you got to calm yourself down and go, it's just a pizza.
Yeah.
Just remember.
Tomorrow's a new day.
Yeah.
Just do whatever you have to do.
Just fucking deal with this and you can have a pizza another day.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's fucking hard.
I hit the Baymarie at Pasta Classica today.
Oh, yes.
Because it's always...
$10.
$10.
$10.
Little takeaway container.
Rotating selection of pastas.
No social media presence for this place whatsoever.
So the luck of the draw.
Almost prefers cash.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're up for it.
They're up for it.
They have a sign on the counter saying, we accept cash.
Right.
You go in there.
You don't know when you walk in what's going to be on offer.
And today they had fucking one of my favorites in there.
I was whacked.
Rigatoni with a creamy Napoli and bacon sauce.
I would say I reckon I've been there three or four times
and I almost could have guaranteed I had the same menu each time.
Oh, really?
But I might be wrong.
Yeah, I go in there a little bit and it's shifting up.
Sometimes there'll be like a tortellini with a cream sauce that wasn't on.
But it does annoy you when you there'll be like a tortellini with a cream sauce that wasn't on. But it does annoy you
when you don't feel
like a red sauce
and you go in
and there's like
all three things
in the Baymarie
are some form of red sauce
and you're like,
you're fucking,
that's a wasted spot.
When there's two next to each other
that are basically the same,
you're like,
that is fucking wasted space.
That is the,
you know,
it's your duty.
You've got three spaces
in the Baymarie,
mix it up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Why have two identical things?
Throw a white sauce in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd love them to have some pesto, but I don't reckon they're bothering you. Oh, that'd be good. I reckon they're bothering you at the back. No it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Why have two identical things? Throw a white sauce in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love them to have it got some pesto, but I don't reckon they're bothering out the back.
No, this is like, what's good about that place, and it's on Smith Street, is that it is proper,
proper old school.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Closed on Sunday.
Why would anyone want to take away pasta on a Sunday?
Yeah, just like you've walked into your fucking auntie's house or whatever.
Yeah, it's proper old school.
It rocks.
It's really good.
Like, you can buy, like, they're a wholesaler too,
so you can just buy dried pasta to go home and cook.
But fuck, man, hit the Baymarie.
If you're in the area, pasta classica on Smith Street.
You're a big chance of running into me down there.
$10 for lunch.
Fucking great lunch.
And also, I reckon it's taken the place of the Waiters Club.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Waiters Club in the city.
Used to be like a bit of, you know, you go in there, it's like being at your fucking
auntie's beach house or something like this.
And, you know, cheap and all that sort of stuff.
And then they slowly started fixing up the restaurant.
And all the things that attracted me to it, which was, you know, old school, cheap, you know, whatever.
All of a sudden it's like, oh, this is as much as any other Italian place in town.
And now I'm sort of in this sort of like half shitty, half good place.
Okay.
Well, why am I here?
All the things I wanted are gone.
Well, I'll tell you what, head down to Classica.
If that's you, if you've had that complaint about a place near you, fucking hit them up.
Tell them the little dum-dum club sent you. for a 50 cent discount i'd love to get sponsored by pastor
classica yeah big fucking logo big fucking logo on the chest of every shirt i'm wearing anytime
i do a gig we should yeah someone who out there has a business that um fucking wants to sponsor
us that that is something that we would love that That'd be fucking good. I keep seeing little, you know,
podcasts around the place.
Someone's got loyal listeners
and it meets up with, you know,
the, you know,
I mean, I know we had the chocolate mousse,
you know, sponsorship for a little while.
Yeah, I mean, we paved the way.
Yeah, we want one of them again.
We want to get sponsored by something
that we fucking love.
Yeah, yeah.
That'd be fun.
Anyway, thanks Anthony Hutchins.
Thanks Tony Hutch.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Adam Henderson.
Adam Henderson.
That's right.
Damn.
It's A. Henderson.
Harry and?
Harry and.
I was about to bring that up, but I know that as a reference.
I don't know that I've ever seen a second of it.
Harry and the Hendersons.
Yeah.
It's a Bigfoot, right?
Yes.
Little Bigfoot-looking cunt.
Was it a movie that then turned into a TV show?
Is that what happened?
That sounds about right.
I think that's what happened.
John Lithgow in the movie and then no John Lithgow in the TV series.
Would that be right?
Maybe.
What was he doing?
Well, he wasn't Harry.
I think he was one of the Hendersons.
No, I mean, what was he doing that he was like,
the movie was fine, but no TV show for me.
Well, you know, roughly that's how things work,
where there's, you know, Tom Cruise not doing too many TV shows.
That's true.
So John Lithgow is...
But, well, I mean, this is...
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
But, I mean, now it's like the, you know, TV's prestige now.
Yeah, but you're still not...
Again, you're still not seeing Tom Cruise. You know, the biggest prestige now. Yeah, but you're still not, again, you're still not seeing Tom Cruise.
You know, the biggest, who's the, you name to me,
the three biggest movie stars in the world?
Who do you reckon?
What are three funny answers?
Yeah.
Peter Dinklage.
Oh, yeah, he's not big.
That's funny.
Yeah, he's small.
I get it. Tom Cruise. The opposites are funny. Tom Cruise because he's short, apparently. Oh, yeah, he's not big. That's funny. Yeah, he's small. I get it.
Tom Cruise.
The opposites are funny.
Tom Cruise because he's short apparently.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
I've said that already.
So that's also a callback to five seconds ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And a serious answer.
Bloody T-Rex from Jurassic Park.
Oh, he's big and that's from a movie.
There you go.
That's good.
We did it.
We did it.
Come to our comedy course, everyone.
$400 for an hour.
But look, there's not too many big names doing TV still.
There's a bit of surprising, you know,
Julia Roberts is doing a Netflix show now,
which is a little bit like, okay.
Well, now the limited series is very popular.
Right.
So you can get a big actor in and they just basically make an eight-hour movie.
Yeah.
But then again, I think that also is a little bit like Julie Roberts is in something now.
You go, oh, wow, big name Julie Roberts.
Name her last big movie.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Pretty Woman 2 when she went back and got fucked by like 17 clients like in the sequel.
Is that a real thing?
No.
No. Just one I think could be a good movie.
I was like, fuck, I know what I'm watching when I'm in life.
Have I never heard of this?
Sounds awesome.
The one she knocked back
so she had to do Netflix.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One where she's just
becomes the madam of a brothel instead.
I hear that show's good though.
The Gasly show.
Pretty woman.
Oh, Gasly.
The new Julia Roberts.
Don't know anything about it.
Joint.
The new JR joint. No, Don't know anything about her. Joint. The new JR joint.
No, I don't know anything about it.
Fuck, what did I watch her in recently?
I saw something that she was in from ages ago.
It's like, damn, she's hot.
She's looking good.
She's really hot.
She's like the Jennifer Aniston.
Oh, Notting Hill.
Kept it up.
I watched Notting Hill for the first time.
Oh.
Never seen it before.
Yeah, you know what?
There's certain people that, as I've grown older, I've gone, why didn't I think they
were like super attractive back then?
I definitely think, yeah, I was thinking that.
I was watching that and being like, damn, she's hot.
Yeah.
I never thought she was hot in the day.
Yeah.
You know who I had that with the other day, where I was like, when I was, when I, my fucking
most ragingest of hormones.
Yeah.
Why did not, I did not find this person attractive.
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Never had a,
Really?
Nothing for her?
Nothing for her.
Nothing for her back in the day.
And then,
and then now I'm like,
you know,
looking back in hindsight going,
stunning.
What the fuck was I on about?
You're inventing a time machine
and going back to yourself
at like 15.
Yeah.
You gotta jack off to this woman.
You're jacking off to the wrong people.
Yeah, great.
And then just hopping straight back in the time machine.
Yeah, yeah.
Getting home, dismantling the whole thing.
Never using it again.
No one else gets to use it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just all of a sudden.
But then you get back to the future
and you've altered the timeline
so now you're all with it.
You're all like,
you just used up all your fucking fluids
when you were 15. Just fucking flogging your little log to julia roberts yeah imagine yeah
imagine what the butterfly effect of that is yeah just like just going back and telling myself to
to pull my dick to someone else and then coming back and being either homeless or the owner of
ibm yeah yeah yeah yeah you'd hope because the annoying thing about doing something like that
where you've changed the future
would be,
you don't,
it would be almost impossible
for you to find out
in which way,
like,
how that's happened.
Right.
Like, the pathway,
you know what I mean?
Like, how,
like, you've altered the future.
Right.
And you would want to know.
So, what's the,
what is the effect?
Like, I jack off to this person.
Yep.
What are all the steps?
Yep.
But you could never find that out.
It would fucking drive you insane.
Yeah.
It's just something like, okay, well, for some reason you realize that person turned
you on a lot more.
You finished a lot quicker.
You had more time to then go out.
And then you went into the shop a bit earlier.
You ran into this person.
And they went, oh, fucking, you know what?
There's a position opening and blah, blah, blah.
All of a sudden your whole career's changed. Fuck it,'s changed your whole life is changed by just coming a bit quicker
so many more hours in the day just by finishing up a few seconds earlier i'm just i'm just bombing
at an open mic going i wasted so much time on pamela anderson if only i had i would have worked
on this new material a bit more if i hadn't had to fucking beat off. If I wasn't just pausing scenes in I Know What You Did Last Summer, I could have been someone.
Exactly.
That's all that's stood in the way is the amount of time it takes me to come when I'm beating off.
Fuck yeah.
That would be a great thing to say if you ever met Pamela Anderson.
You fucking stopped me from being a superstar.
Fuck, I bet those sorts of people are getting that stuff very regularly.
Yes.
The DMs.
Yes.
Some longbows here.
Yeah, I wonder if anyone ever actually, yeah, did blame.
I mean, look, to be one of these people and be responsible for that many hours of jerking off.
That many seeds being spilled.
That's weirdly enough a very heavy load on your shoulders to bear.
Yeah, it really is.
Yeah, that's, I don't know, that's, maybe that should have been the title when people used to have those like, you know, sexiest person alive.
Imagine if you had that where it was like, they just tried to quantify that by roughly estimating how many litres of sperm.
Most beaten off two persons.
How many litres of sperm have been dedicated to those people?
Fuck yeah.
That would be good.
Awesome.
You're welcome, Adam Henderson.
Thank you, Adam Henderson.
For that chat.
All right, let's just do one more.
As I said, we're recording this just before.
I've got to set up the chairs for Basement Comedy Club.
You've got to go home and beg your girlfriend to let you have a paneer.
No, I offered to cook and then we recorded something before this
and one of the guests ran an hour late.
So now I'm cruising in at dinner time being like,
oh, the apps are serving pretty good.
That person wasn't on this episode.
This person is in maybe next week's episode and you can have a little guess.
Maybe even the week after that.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, in a couple
of weeks.
You could maybe
guess who could
possibly be running
at one hour late
to our show.
So let's just do
one more.
I've got to get
balls deep into
fucking comedy
admin.

I could come to this name pretty quickly.
Is that her?
Yeah.

I mean, I don't know if she got divorced and got rid of the Hewitt.
Kicked Hewitt to the curb.
And married, I don't know, say a Mr. Comedy or something like that.
