Hey, mates, welcome once again into the Little Dumb Dumb Club for another week.
Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Daslow and with me as always, the other half of the program, Carl Chan.
G'day dickhead.
And joining us today, God, what can you say about this wonderful pair that hasn't already been said?
Two peas in a pod.
Two beautiful men.
The odd couple.
Established comedians and broadcasters.
Please welcome back into the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Nick Cody and Nazeem Hussain.
We've been really funny and then Tommy cracked the whip.
Fun time's over, guys.
We're doing a podcast.
We're all having a laugh.
The hangover's really settling in, boys.
I've got to keep us moving.
I said keep it, keep it.
But he selected all and deleted.
Idiot.
What?
What?
Were you talking about the chat we had before?
Yeah, that didn't get recorded.
Don't worry.
No, but I was like, keep it in.
And he's like, no, man.
I'm scared of my reputation.
You were saying you were pro-blackface, though.
See?
And context is everything.
I'm pro-blackfaces.
Right.
Oh, sure, sure. That makes sense. Well, we're in my house. I'm pro black faces Right Oh sure
Sure
That makes sense
Well we're in
We're in my house
This is a rare recording
In my house
And we're in
My little street here
We just
A couple of weeks ago
We had the election
State election
And
Yeah
I've gone political
This is Tom Ballard's
Are you compensating
For his lack of presence
In the other episode
No He's got plenty of presence.
He's fat.
Jesus.
Did you not know?
Oh, sorry, man.
You just offended Nick.
Why did I offend Nick?
And Christmas is on Nazeem Hussain.
He hosts Christmas now.
Oh, my God.
You sellout.
I'm with everybody. I'm being attacked by Christians at the moment. Oh, my God. You sell out. I'm a bloody, you know, I'm with everybody, you know.
I'm being attacked by Christians at the moment.
I made a joke.
Oh, no.
Hosting Christmas.
I hosted a Christmas show, and in the first minute,
I said something about, you know, I love Jesus, you know.
Jesus, let me tell you about him.
He's a humble trader.
He was a carpenter.
He had a single mum.
And then, anyway, I went on about Jesus.
But all these Christians were Christians Like he had a dad
He was stepdad
Joseph
And I had no idea
And people were sending me
Bible verses
And going
What do you make jokes
About Mohammed
And I'm just getting
Currently cancelled by the church
That's pretty cool
Yeah that's great
I'm hosting Eid
Next year on the ABC
Assalamualaikum
I already told you
I already told you
If you came to the mosque
And you were like
if you were just
wandering around
looking up at the ceiling
everyone would lose
their minds
people would be like
I think we got one
and then they would
come up to you
you could even say
you're an alcoholic
whatever no one cares
we just want a white convert
you've got the full beard
they'd be like
oh it's one of us
in white face
great
in white face
yeah
I'd be into it
I'd convert
you'd come down
I saw a bit of the special
the other night you were hosting.
It was like a very diverse
line-up of comedians
you had on.
You had good comedians
and other sorts.
Oh, here he goes.
Oh, jeez.
I'm not that.
No one is safe.
So you get to host
a Christmas special.
Maybe we should do a...
Four open micers.
Maybe we should do
a dum-dum Kwanzaa special
next year.
Sure.
You know
If everything's just up for grabs
In this fucking topsy turvy world
What's Scientology have?
Do they have something we can do?
Do they have a day?
Do they just have Christmas?
Do they have a Tom Cruise day or something?
Yeah what do they
Are they trying to celebrate the day that the aliens came down
Tom Cruise's birthday
You have a long weekend for it or something
That's in my joint
I'm on that side of town
I'm a few blocks away from the big Scientology
really
where is it
Mount Alexander Road
every time I go
the car park's heaving
yeah
this place is going off
but do they have
what shit do they get done here
like I know over there
if you join up
you get to go ahead
in Hollywood
you'd like to think
like if you remember
he got like a
free golf class tickets
to Top Gun Maverick
or something like that
you know
yeah but like you know it's all about like celebrities get in because then you do some weird shit.
You get some money and, you know, suddenly doors open for you.
But I just don't know what can open for you here.
You give them the, you go in and you give them the like, here's every bad thing I've
ever done.
But then what's the reward?
What are you getting?
What do you get?
Maybe the little dum-dum club.
Maybe we could get into bed with Scientology.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Imagine that.
Scientology, if you're listening, we'll accept some guests.
We can be the first rung on the ladder of what you promised people.
Exactly.
Yeah.
We could start doing the dining and testing on air.
You could totally just have new comedians in town,
and then they're just all the others preaching.
They're one gig in, all of a sudden they're on this podcast.
It'd be so good.
It's like you get to live for eternity.
You get first access to AFL grand final tickets.
There's a big dinner.
You go, what?
What was the second?
I'm listening.
I don't need to be an AFL member.
I can just skip that.
Are there famous Australian Scientologists?
There must be, right?
The thing is, yeah, I just think I'd look at the different territories.
Like Netflix, you know, there's a lot of
content they're putting
out in America,
they get all the big
stars,
why are they,
they're not going to
invest in Australia
because all our big
stars go over there.
It's just like,
why would the
Illuminati or,
you know,
Scientology set a
base here?
There's not much
that they can offer
their members,
there's not much of a,
yeah,
sure,
like you can't.
So glad I don't
have to be a
Scientologist in
Australia or
Singapore.
It's a hard angle.
Yeah, our billionaires are like Clive
Palmer. Yeah, yeah. Fucking hell, man.
Exactly. This dude's not going to space. He's trying to
remake the Titanic. Fucking idiot.
If you join Scientology, you
can do a song on the Perth telethon.
Yeah.
There's nothing to look up.
Personality. Did you grow up with people that believed in the
Illuminati No
I used to hang out with
You know my friend Hesh
And those guys
Every Friday we'd go to like
Don't say anything
That we have to edit out by the way
Okay my friend
Just bleep out Hesh
And just make it sound like
Stop saying it
Stop saying it
Don't you have a bleep thing
Just don't say it
Guess what
I'm not doing it
Merry Christmas cunt
Are you worried about Hesh
Or the Illuminati
No I'm worried about you
Ringing me in half an hour
Going can you take this out?
Hesh will probably own this story.
Also, he doesn't listen to this damn podcast.
Yeah, okay, great.
But we still all, every Friday night, Hesh.
I love that.
Naz, I'm pro-blackface.
I made fun of Jesus.
Fucking cut my friend's name out, please, man.
Scientology, what's going on?
The Illuminati, whatever.
Also, also, so not saying something
is nature's edit button
by the way
so just don't say it
if you want it edited out
don't fucking say it
every time I'm about to
go on this podcast
you just say
listen the only rule is
say everything that comes to your brain
we'll look after you
speak with absolute
gay abandon
exactly
if it feels wrong
it's probably funny
have I ever said this
on this show
I don't think I have,
but I'm going to say it anyway.
You did a trial show one night
and it was at Basement
and then you're doing a show
and then you've got your mate Hesh there.
This might need to be edited out.
Hey, don't say it.
That's a don't say his name.
Oh, sorry, don't say his name.
He's my don't say his name.
Don't say his name.
Don't say Hesh's name.
And you're doing comedy
And then all of a sudden
You go
Alright well anyway
I've got to hop off
Because my friend
Who's a
He's a rapper
Well established rapper
He's about to hit the stage
Everyone's like
What the fuck is going on
We came to the
Nazeem Hussain comedy hour
And then we're closing
On a ten minute rap
And then your mate
Gets up and raps at the end
With no music.
He had music, but I don't know what happened,
but there was a disconnect between his performance
and the positive reaction of the audience.
No, no.
He's very talented.
Just for some reason, the crowd just wasn't into it.
None of that's true.
No, they weren't into it.
They were confused.
I don't think I introduced him properly.
No.
I was like, he's Hedge.
Oh, I didn't introduce him properly.
I was about to do his stand-up.
He comes on and he starts rapping.
Eminem got a good intro when he first started.
That was the difference.
I love these ephemeral excuses for bombing.
Just being on stage and having a shit one and being like,
hmm, seems to me like Mercury must be in retrograde.
Because you people aren't laughing at my jokes.
I'll say it next to you.
There's a disconnect.
Next to you and my manager, Beck, and you guys are like,
you've got to stop it. I literally went on stage and my manager Beck And you guys are like You gotta stop it
So then I literally
Went on stage
And I was like
Give it up for Hesh
And then he's like
Thanks man
Because it was just very
It was a bad
It was a very weird thing
A bad friend thing
Mid rap he cut him off
Yeah I cut him off
Which only happened to me
One other time
So the audience knew
That his name was Hesh
But they didn't know
What he was here to say
And ordinarily
You know what it is
It's like performing
In a bad place Like if you perform On the street You know what it is? It's like performing in a bad place.
Like if you perform on the street to pass.
It's a great place.
Not for rap.
Not for rap.
Well, yeah, it's called the Basement Comedy Club.
Not the Basement Rap Club.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not hip hop.
It's not stand up hip hop to me.
MC Chando getting up, bringing the MC on.
It was such an uncomfortable performance.
On the way home, he literally asked if he should give up rap.
That's how bad it was.
And what did he say?
I said, nah, it's just Carl's audience.
You know these white people that don't respect real hip-hop.
Yeah, it was almost like they were confused when they walked into a show called Nazeem Hussain's Comedy Show.
And then were hit with bad hip-hop.
Was this you not having enough material to fill the hour?
Possibly.
He was single at the time.
And he never asked me to do this.
Throughout the gig, I'd be like, make fun of him in like a, bigging him up.
How big is he?
Check out his muscles everyone
and he would be all shy
and stuff
and throughout the gig
I would sort of like
make fun of him
but also like
highlight his presence
this was just a Tinder date
it wasn't a comedy show
I was just trying to like
hook him up
speed dating
comedy speed dating
with one guy
wow
I'm a good friend
imagine
you wouldn't do that for me
I know what will get my friends
dick sucked
bombing while rapping
Sorry about
Hesh if you're listening
These guys are absolute dogs
Well this has to stay in
Because it was very funny
Yeah
He's still doing rap
So
Good on him
Yeah
You've been very supportive
He used to be part of
A Muslim comedy group
Called The Brotherhood
And one of their lyrics was
Boom boom boom
Asalaamu Alaikum That was how one of their lyrics was boom boom boom asalamu alaikum
that was how one of
their songs started
sick
that's awesome
he was at that
secret lunch that we
went to wasn't he
yeah yeah yeah
it was a secret lunch
that's in a vault
somewhere
oh that was recorded
for TV
yeah
he's never going to
see the light of day
he's a nice guy
nice young man
terrible at rapping
you don't know
shit about rap
the more it's not
Hish's fault
yeah
there was a disconnect
this is 100% Nazeem's fault. Yeah. There was a disconnect.
This is 100% Nazeem's fault.
I do this stuff all the time.
I'm like,
I,
you know,
I'll see a friend in the audience and then without them wanting to,
I'll like heavily involve them in the show.
Right.
And like,
you know,
when I filmed Legally Brown on SBS back in the day,
the executive producer,
like an actual introvert,
like someone that hates,
like,
you know,
people at home and introverts,
genuinely hates attention.
And at the end of the last record
I was like
hey everybody
studio audience
hey everybody
this show
couldn't have happened
without the other guy
give it up for Johnny Lowry
and I
and
do we have to bleep that name out
or what are we doing here
and he was like
no no no
and literally
brought him out on stage
and he was like
melting on
he hated it
and afterwards
Beck was also an introvert
she was like
why'd you do that
like he
that's quite traumatising
for an actual introvert I just thought it was also an introvert she was like why'd you do that that's quite traumatising for an actual introvert
I just thought
it was a fun thing
it was shaking
when I filmed
my special
at the corner
the other month
I was like
if anyone got
their driver's licence
late or never had it
and someone just
points at her
mate
this chick next to her
and I'm like
why didn't you
get your licence
and she's like
I'm like
miss
I can't hear you
why didn't you
get your licence and she's like i'm like miss i can't hear you why didn't you get your license
and she's like i'm like i'm so we're record like i can't hear why didn't you get your license and
she went i have crippling anxiety oh did you go oh i have shaky hands too
same so you ever do like you're like how's her mate just going
it's like at the comic stands there's often a person there who How's her mate just going, ask her. Ask her. That's really bad.
It's like at the comic stands.
There's often a person there
who has a speech impairment or something.
I don't know.
What?
Everybody's got a story about this guy
who you think he's heckling you,
but actually...
I don't know.
Oh, he's got like Tourette's or something?
I don't know,
but he sounds like he's heckling you
until you start talking to him.
I think I might know the guy you're talking about.
And then as soon as you interact with him,
the whole audience goes,
oh.
Right.
It stops the show.
Okay.
And then Nazeem's like,
time to fucking double down.
Yeah.
Destroy it.
Then you're like,
pop up here and do a rap.
Get up here.
And his name is Hesh.
Do you ever do the thing
where you go to a mate's festival show or whatever
and they get to the end
and they're like,
thanks.
And they're plugging maybe one or two of the shows that they always plug
because they happen to have seen you there.
They're like, oh, and also go and see Nick Coddins.
It just makes me cringe when that's happening
because it's like, I don't care if you don't say this.
I'm not going to be hurt.
You're only saying this because I'm here and you've done it so half-heartedly.
But imagine if they didn't say that and how would you feel? Oh, I'd
kill myself.
But I think that about most things.
Well, you and I
had a beer last night. Yes.
We were in Footscray at a pub
and before you got there, you met
this guy, but we got there
it was Milan.
Well, half of Milan.
Yeah, yeah. Milan's lost a lot of weight. So, friend of the show Milan. Very slim Milan. Well, half of Milan. Yeah, yeah.
Milan's lost a lot of weight.
Jesus.
Friend of the show, Milan.
Very slim, young thing he is now.
He's hot.
He's hot now.
Yeah, he's hot.
Let's get him on here to rap.
Yeah.
Friend of mine, Jimmy from Maribor, and we're there, and it was like, man, they say Footscray is gentrified now.
Fucking hell, it wasn't last night.
I don't know.
I don't go over there.
It was such a blokey pub.
That's a pub pup.
Is it?
Yeah, yeah.
That's the only one I went to.
So it was like, it was chockers.
There's lots of other bars and pubs in Footscray.
Right, right.
Well, very, very blokey.
So it's fine.
Were you intimidated by bloke?
Like you were intimidated by blokey blokes?
Yeah.
Well, I'm not the bloke-iest of blokes.
No, but also I think it was that band on.
I don't even think it was.
I think there was maybe a tradies Christmas party there. I was getting that vibe, I think it was that band on, I don't even think it was, I think there was maybe
a tradies Christmas party there.
I was getting that vibe.
But also,
there was a band
and I think you're,
you're confusing blokey blokes
with 50 year old men
that like punk music.
That have tattoos.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Sure.
I don't know if it's a blokey bloke.
Well,
put it this way,
to me it felt like
we were in like a
WA,
what is it, skimpy, skimpy bar or something me, it felt like we were in like a WA, what is it?
Skimpy, skimpy bar or something.
Because it was like, honestly, there was like 60 blokes out the back and one woman walked past and everyone was like, fucking hell.
It's like, man, we're not in the Outback.
We're in Footscray.
Like, you've seen women before.
I was right about the Trady's Christmas party.
Yeah, yeah.
So there was this one guy.
They're like, fucking hell, what's she doing in here?
Get out.
No, no, no.
Just like amazed
because they'd been
in a beer garden
for three hours
without seeing a woman.
So I was just like,
fuck,
that's what one of them
looks like again.
So there's this one guy
that,
because Milan's a guy
that you could put anywhere
and he's going to meet people
and make friends or whatever.
So he starts talking to this guy
and he comes over and we're talking to him or whatever and then he starts going, and we're getting along well with him. He seems like he's going to meet people and make friends or whatever. So he starts talking to this guy and he comes over and we're talking to him or whatever
and then he starts going, and we're getting along well with him, he seems like he's funny
enough or whatever.
And then I go, oh yeah, how are you enjoying your night?
He goes, yeah, I didn't know what was going to happen tonight, but I'm actually enjoying
talking to you old cunts.
Like, cheers.
How old is this guy?
And we go, how old are you?
And he goes, 20.
I'm like, oh, fuck it up.
Oh, man.
If he's 20.
Exactly.
He hasn't been indoors for that 20 years.
He's been direct sunlight.
Yes.
He was a weathered 20.
Yes.
Put it this way.
He was 20, and he was trying to put it on us as old cunts.
I mistook you.
I genuinely, for about five minutes, thought he was the bass player for Silverchair.
So if you're getting mistaken for a 43 year old
and you're 20
I wouldn't be
chucking around
the O word
if I was you
so that's pretty
rude
disrespect his
elders like that
he was
alright
who actually
says to an old
person
that they're an
old couple
Cody's come off
the worst here
significantly younger than you and Malone he didn't say that when Cody was before to an old person that they're an old couple. Yeah, it's funny. Cody's come off the worst here. Significantly younger
than you and Malone.
No, he's getting
He didn't say that
when Cody was here.
Oh, okay, sure.
It was before.
You have rosy cheeks
which makes you
I'm sunburned,
you piece of shit.
It gives you that youthful
kind of like childlike
cherubish look.
Cherubish look.
But he told
this guy
this guy ends up
I'm a sunburned alcoholic
doesn't he?
This guy
Drunk child.
That's boot polish. This guy ends up telling this story which sunburned alcoholic this guy drugs child that's food polish
this guy ends up
telling this story
which I told you
last time
we're talking to him
and he's like
and he goes
we're like
where are you
so you know
we're only over here
we're from
over in Hawthorne
St Kilda
what about you
and he's like
Geelong
we're like wow
you live in Geelong
and you come here
he's like
no I live in South Melbourne
it's like well
then the first answer
was South Melbourne
why are you saying Geelong it's like oh when I was a kid I lived in Geelong and you come here he's like no I live in South Melbourne it's like well then the first answer was South Melbourne why are you saying Geelong
it's like oh
when I was a kid
I lived in Geelong
we're not fucking asking
about history
but anyway
off to a great start
yeah yeah
where'd you come from Cody
well out of my mum
at the women's
and then we went to
Salmon
then Werribee
then Hoppers
yeah
I moved to Williamstown
for a bit
oh my background
a couple of sweet little testicles
attached to a man by the name of David Olson.
So he goes, so they start telling us about Geelong
and we're like, okay, what can we talk about Geelong?
Fucking, did you go to Smorgies or did you go to this school or that school?
He goes, oh, I used to work at Belmont KFC or something.
I thought you were doing crowd work with this guy.
Where is Belmont? It's like a suburb were doing crowd work with this guy yeah where is Belmont
it's like a suburb
like an outer suburb
of Geelong
and he goes
and all of a sudden
he says this
he goes
yeah
working at KFC
was really hard
and we're like
oh fuck
I bet it was
and he goes
yeah when I was 15
it was my second day
on the job
and I was working
the
what is it
the drive-thru
I was working the drive-thru
and he goes
and KFC drive-thru it's not fucking the drive-thru. And he goes, and KFC drive-thru.
It's not fucking easy.
Like McDonald's.
You know how they've got three windows?
Fuck that.
That's like fucking for pussies.
Yeah, I love it.
There's one window.
I love it.
One window at KFC and I'm the guy.
Of course they hate each other.
It's never occurred.
Of course the chains would all hate each other.
I'm someone that's at McDonald's.
I'll just get a drive-thru coffee.
There's so many windows.
My kids, because they don't get Mac, my son thinks it's coffees. get a drive-thru coffee there's so many windows my kids because they don't get
my son thinks it's coffees
he goes
oh car coffee
yeah yeah yeah
but there's windows
but they're like
a red rooster wrap
and I do like
that the person you talk to
is at the window
and is making the thing
and running
it's a real fucking skeleton crew
yeah yeah
it's like a mum and dad
sort of business
but wait
so they only have one person
isn't it she never really yeah yeah McDonald's have got all dad sort of business. But wait, so they only have one person, isn't it?
She never really...
Yeah, yeah.
McDonald's have got
all these middlemen happening.
I don't know,
but there's got too many
windows for some reason.
I never fucking understand.
It seems to work.
None of them are ever
in full operation.
Not all three windows
are ever on the go.
Oh, why don't you go
tell McDonald's worldwide
that I've got it wrong.
But also,
why isn't KFC doing that?
I don't know.
So they've got one person on the headset,
another person's making the food,
and then a third person's handing it to the car?
Yeah, yeah, I think that's it.
This is a hell of an operation.
That's Macca's.
I wonder if you're getting...
I wonder if when you go in, you're sort of being moved around,
or if it's just like, I just specialise in the headset,
I kill it in there.
They don't trust me on window duty.
What's it called, like a Freeberg machine? What are those ones called? Oh, Rube Goldberg. I kill it in there. Is it what? What's it called? They don't trust me on window duty. What's it called?
Like a Freeberg machine?
Or what are those ones called?
Oh, a Rube Goldberg.
Rube Goldberg machine.
That's what the Maccas drive through windows.
I actually did a gig for Maccas a couple of months ago.
I should have.
I'm now being followed by several Maccas.
Did you do McAfee Day?
No, no.
Did you open?
Restaurant managers.
What's the deal?
With three windows? No, no, no. Did you get to go overseas open with that? What's the deal? With three windows?
Did you get to go overseas for it?
Huh?
Did you go overseas for it?
Might be going overseas next year.
Yeah.
This year.
Dubai?
No.
I went to Dubai.
I can't remember.
It's not Dubai.
Did you go?
Yeah, to Dubai.
It's pretty exciting, isn't it?
It's sick.
You know, like, as much as it's not cool to do gigs for Maccas, I think it's pretty cool
to do gigs for Maccas.
I think it's fucking awesome.
We'd find it pretty cool.
I'm down with it.
It's not like some frigging Michelin star,
but it's way more fun.
Get us a plus two.
Get us over there.
And the thing is,
Maccas staff love Maccas
because they ordered heaps of Maccas during the thing.
Everyone was loving it.
That's so funny.
I'm loving it.
That's their actual thing.
I went to a doctor's appointment the other day
and in the waiting room,
they had a painting of a doctor's waiting room.
And I was like, this is bizarre.
This is like a windowless room.
Was it a mirror?
Was it a mirror?
I was in it.
With me on there?
Yeah.
The receptionist, they're like,
you can have anything you want on the wall.
And he's like,
why would you want to travel when you're surrounded by this?
My eyes in the painting followed me like the Mona Lisa.
There's this hot little guy in the picture.
I was there because I was hallucinating after Meredith.
They had a painting of a diseased little goblin.
It was really fun.
You know babies at the age where it doesn't know that she's looking at herself yet.
And you know because if you put something on her forehead,
if they know that they're looking at themselves
and trying to scratch off their own...
So, you know, you're probably at your pre-dash stage.
You're nearly there.
Yeah, I don't have object permanence yet.
But I'm getting there.
2023 is my hero.
You're mentally almost one.
I'll give you that.
No one can take that away from me.
You let me know when you know that you're with the Maranatha.
See if you beat my daughter.
Oh, man.
I had some great swaddles this year.
I loved it.
Have you rolled over yet?
Have you rolled over?
These are all my first words.
I hadn't spoken before we turned these mics on.
I'm just really going for it. I think you're doing a good job so far. Everything I'm saying, I'm saying for the my first words. I hadn't spoken before we turned these mics on. I'm just really going for it.
I think you're doing a good job so far.
Everything I'm saying, I'm saying for the very first time.
I think it's good so far.
The track's being built as the train's rolling along.
Carl, I must say, thanks for bringing all your daughter's toys out for Tommy to play with.
It's the box time.
I thought they were a bit old for him, but he's doing all right.
He's doing a good job.
Don't swallow any of them, for fuck's sake.
All right, it's boob time
Cody
whip it out
Tommy thirsty
you're so dumb
you're a baby
fuck man
I'm not even taking it
as an insult
I fucking
truly love to be a baby
like that
like that
Wayans Brothers movie
Little Man
I'd fucking
I'd do that if I could
my kid's three
and she said three times in the last week,
I think I want to be a baby again.
I'm like, oh, is life too tough as a three-year-old?
Sorry about this.
Nostalgia already.
Sorry about eating fucking solids.
Sorry, that's tiring you out.
Things were better back in 2021.
Tell you what, my son said a lot this week.
Daddy, why do you keep saying fucking?
Really?
We're moving out.
I've got fucking.
He's clopped it.
Just drop a box.
This is what happened the other week.
So this street, this was an early voting street.
There's a thing over there.
This is back to what you...
Yeah.
There's an office over there.
Now we start.
Yeah.
An early...
Good warm-up, gang.
Any minute now.
Hit record.
Goo-goo-ga-ga.
You'll get to vote soon It's 17 years
Yeah in the
Nickelodeon Awards
Best patch
Best slime
So early voting
Over the road
So for like two weeks
It's just been chockers
With people handing out
Leaflets and people
Going in to vote
And whatever And then I'm bringing Out my three year old Every day we're getting Flyered Every day there's Fucking heaps of people So for like two weeks, it's just been chockers with people handing out leaflets and people going in to vote and whatever.
And then I'm bringing out my three-year-old.
Every day we're getting flied.
Every day there's fucking heaps of people out there.
And I'm having to explain to a three-year-old what voting is?
Oh, it's hard, isn't it?
Did you try?
Oh, yeah.
What did you say?
Well, I was like, well, they sort of run the state.
Well, there's a dictator in charge of this state.
Get him out and put him in the gallows.
Remember that fake virus two years ago when you were one?
Remember when the playgrounds were shut?
Yeah.
Do we want to vote for the guy who did that or didn't do that?
It's a no from this three-year-old, actually.
Remember why Dad's got all that canned soup in the bunker?
Because of this fucking scandemic, mate.
Daddy, why say fucking?
Because we're being watched, dear dog.
Remember when Dad pissed on the Shrine of Remembrance?
Remember when you had
to suck a tip through a mask?
Remember when Daddy wrote
all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy
on your bedroom wall?
It's this man's fault.
Daddy, why are you walking
on the fucking bridge floor?
So did you try and break it down?
I try to say
It's like the person
Who's in charge
They're like the boss
Of the
Yeah that's what I do
Yeah I got
I got a point off
I tried to
I thought I'd started off
I was like you know
Like people looking
They look after
You know making the roads
And the hospitals
It's like oh
So you know
You have to vote for people
To make them
Like better
I don't really know
That's how my mum
Explained it to me
The other week
And it got through Better roads Yeah It made a mum explained it to me the other way and it got through
better roads
yeah
it made a lot of sense to me
a baby
I tried to do that
I tried to go
oh it's like boss
boss is a good word
I'm like
people are deciding
on who wants
who wants to be
the boss of
Hawthorne
it's so funny though
a three year old
having a concept
of a boss
yeah yeah yeah
when you go like
oh it's like the mummy and daddy, but of everyone.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
That's also pretty tutorial.
I'm coming up on the fly with it.
So I'm like, yeah, the boss, who decides everything?
You know, like who chooses everything?
Oh, okay, right.
And so I'd done that a couple of times.
And then two weeks later, finally, when the election, it was actually election day, and
we walked down the street and there's no one.
No, no, it was the day after election day
sorry
and Tommy got kissed
by all the politicians
on the news
now show that appearance
alright
get on it photoshoppers
I want ten of them
on my desk
by close of business
so
so the day later
there's no one left
in the street
there's nothing happening
and then and then Blanket's like yeah so what is oh no one left in the street there's nothing happening and then
and then blanket's like yeah so what is oh no one here anymore daddy and i'm like yeah yeah yeah
she goes someone they must they must have the boss now i said that's right and she and she goes
i wonder who it was and i go yeah i wonder who is the new boss? I said, who do you think it was? And she goes, hmm, maybe Santa?
Santa or Mummy?
I'm like, fuck, wouldn't that be a great election?
Santa v Mummy.
That is a genuine great election for someone between two and six, I reckon.
Who are you voting for in the world to take over?
Santa or mummy?
Santa makes dinner, but Santa brings some pretty fucking sweet toys.
I want to say, did you see Santa or mummy on any of those leaflets, you fucking dunce?
I've been telling you for two weeks.
You've raised them well.
Oh yeah, who would you vote for?
Mum or Santa?
Well, I think what's most interesting about this election concept is that then your wife is just having to drag Santa through the mud.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do a bit of...
No, but also...
Turns up one day a year.
Yeah.
Trying to get the economy going.
Doesn't even use the front door.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then it was like...
Slave labour.
And I start loving it.
And she goes,
she goes,
Santa or...
She goes,
Mummy, Santa or Mummy?
And then there's a big gap
and then she's like,
well, maybe crunchy.
Oh, okay.
And I'm like, fuck the top three.
I'm not getting on the fucking ballot.
Daddy doesn't get a run.
Beaten by an animal.
You're pathetic, and that's a baby saying that.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm one of the obscure independents at this point.
You're a chill candidate.
I'm the animal rights party at this point.
I was going to say, what is the voting below the line in this election?
It's like Fred Flintstone you know
Mario
yeah
SpongeBob
my cousin ran for
Labor up on the
Sunshine Coast
in the federal election
in 2019
and I said
mate how's it
like how's it going
he goes fuck
it's going to
it's going to be tough
and he lost
it's all liberal up there
and he said
the interesting thing though
this part
of queensland norm like in melbourne you've got however many left-wing parties and then a few
right-wing parties yeah whereas there it's like one nation is like that's a moderate gentleman
it's people that one nation are like fucking get a load of this this guy is crazy
that's like when
ISIS became a terrorist
group
Al-Qaeda put out
a press statement
condemning ISIS
going those guys
are too extreme
they literally did that
we just half behead people
like we don't do
the full thing
these guys are crazy
there were parties
in Melbourne
that had like
their whole angle
was just a cross
through Dan Andrews' face.
And that's why people were like, you know.
It was a pretty easy year to be in a campaign office, I reckon.
There was a great conspiracy theory.
The one, the craziest one I saw was that there was a, Dan Andrews is the Premier of Victoria,
right?
So there's two people voting for him, whatever.
There was literally a party called Anti-Dan Andrews Party.
And it was a conspiracy that that was funded by Dan Andrews.
Like, they were like, yeah, that's actually, that's, and I'm like, I don't even fucking understand how that could. Dan Andrews party and it was a conspiracy that that was funded by Dan Andrews.
Like,
they were like,
yeah,
that's actually,
that's,
and I'm like,
I don't even fucking understand how that could,
because it makes him a victim.
No,
no,
to trick people into vote,
so it's like,
you hate Dan Andrews,
you're going to vote
for the anti-Dan Andrews party,
but the vote is actually
going to them.
Then you find out
that the,
you know,
the candidate
for the anti-Dan Andrews party
is Dan Andrews.
You know,
I reckon this podcast,
in five years, it's going to, you're going to run like a candidate as a joke and get in. Dan Andrews. I reckon this podcast in five years
you're going to run
like a candidate
as a joke
and get in.
That's what's probably
going to happen in five years.
We've floated it.
But that thing
that was such a funny one
where someone's just said
that on social media
and then all those
nut jobs have picked it up
and been like
this is fucking disgusting
and it's like
not verified at any point.
Like it wasn't true.
Of course it's not true.
But isn't one of those
you could just look at the ballot paper and go,
oh, that's weird.
Why would you do that?
Why would you do any work?
Oh, yeah.
When you could just be fucked in the head.
Too busy eating my democracy sausage.
Did you ever have, like, falling out with, like,
conspiracy theorists during lockdown and stuff?
Because I had a couple of tips with, like,
some people who just were, like, anti-vaxxers, whatever.
And now that the sort of of emotions out of the whole thing
like
I don't know
are you supposed to be friends
I can't
oh you go back
oh yeah
we still have similar
friendship circles
and I was like
the most vocal
like you're an idiot
and then so some of my
other friends are
catching up with him
and I'm like
I don't know
I saw one at a funeral
recently
and I said to her
this was
this was not the vax
that did this
I had friends who had like timing weddings like last year And I said to her, this was not the vax that did this.
I had friends who had like weddings like last year or 2021.
And yeah, having like aunties that were anti-vax,
that were refusing to get vaccinated, that didn't go to the wedding.
Huge blow up in the family.
Massive fight.
Like she feels like, how can you bar me from coming?
And they're like, why won't you get the fucking vaccine and come to your niece's wedding,
you fucking selfish idiot.
And then,
yeah,
now it's all just like,
oh,
well,
you can go anywhere
and do whatever you want.
So Christmas is back on
and I guess we'll just pretend that that,
just ignore that,
that that six months just didn't happen.
It seems crazy.
Which is pretty good though.
It means you can say anything to anybody
and it doesn't really matter.
As long as you said it.
Just a year ago.
Yeah,
as long as you said it. It ago yeah as long as you said it
it feels like
lockdown was like brackets
but a lot of them
not real
a lot of them
when it's coming out now
it's like
oh it didn't protect
as well as we said
and they're like
we'll never forget
what you made us feel
like you fucking dogs
it's annoying
oh we also don't forget
you thought it was
a 5G tower spreading
exactly
yeah you were on the news
punching a horse
like we won't forget that
yeah okay
we were wrong about something
like
oh well
sorry for erring
on the side of caution
you fucking nutbag
I mean I'm one years old
what's your excuse
my brain's not fully formed
I'm not even allowed
to get it yet
sorry I got the fucking mumps vaccine.
Sorry.
I was conceived in the first lockdown.
I don't even know what's going on.
So to get back to the other thing, the KFC guy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, jeez.
What a web.
Nothing but callbacks.
I love you.
I guess that's been like a suspicion in my head,
but I'm rapt to hear that the people that work at any given chain
are like those fucking Hungry Jacks.
Yeah, yeah.
They got it too good.
This guy's like the one-man band.
The guy with the cymbals on his knees.
Yeah.
The fucking accordion.
Is this the 20-year-old we're talking about?
Yeah.
This is the bloated corpse of the 20-year-old that we're talking to.
Well, that's why he looks so old,
because he's fucking running around KFC like a headless chook doing every job.
Actually he was also saying
oh yeah I just bought
him. I did not mean that.
That's a pun completely by accident.
I just bought him a pint and he goes yeah when I went to
rehab for the second time I'm like fuck me.
Hang on. So this guy
goes you're an old cunt.
And you go let me get you a pint.
Yeah yeah yeah.
I was like, I'll pay
that's funny.
He's played you like a fiddle.
You're right, Footscray hasn't gentrified
at all. The game does work.
Yeah, yeah.
Give me a pint, you ugly bitch.
They're not going to take your
thruppence, you old cunt.
Throw your hay pennies out.
Give me some of that malt liquor that you guys like.
Hide your hooch.
Here comes the cops.
Yeah, yeah.
So he goes, yeah, so he's bagging the McDonald's, the three windows.
He's working his nose to the bone fucking doing one window at KFC.
And he goes, it was my second day.
And he goes, yeah, so day and he goes yeah so anyway
I've got the headset on
and everyone in the
the manager and whatever
are yelling at me
I'm two days in
I don't know what the fuck I'm doing
oh you've got multiple voices in there
that would be
yeah yeah yeah
so you'll get cars
well one of them is a manager
I think a few of them
are already there
from the two rehabs
I think
or
you need a disclaimer now
yeah so
he's got the whole
all the lines of cars
and he's
he's copping it
he's like
starting to panic
he's having a meltdown
and he goes
then this old lady
comes up to the
to the counter
like drives up
and then orders
he goes
and she ordered like
all these fucking family meals
it was like
80-90 bucks worth of chicken
and like
it's way too fucking much
and then she goes
alright
and I'm typing it all in
and then she goes
here you go
and starts paying me
in all coins.
She's just getting the coins
out of the console
and paying in all coins
and he goes,
there's so many cars.
I'm like,
I'm getting yelled at.
I'm like,
fuck this.
He goes,
I'm just putting them
straight in the till.
I'm not counting any of it.
I'm going,
okay,
she's giving me
handful after handful of coins.
Because at Mac
there'd be a coin person.
Well,
that's it.
There'd be a fourth coin
fucking window.
And a coin secretary.
One for each type of
coin.
Maybe it's normally
multiple jobs but he
was smoking ice at the
time and he's like
I'll do all three.
He was running
between windows.
I'm on it.
So he's like,
he's doing that and
he gets the final
handful of coins and
the woman drops the
handful of coins in
the gap between the
window and the car so it just
hits the ground and goes fucking everywhere and he's like oh fuck he goes i was already panicking
i was way behind there's all these cars coming so and he goes he goes i just fucking lose i go
fuck me he goes you fuck this for me he, I'm going to get the fucking sack here. I'm about to get fucking fired.
I'm going to need you to open up the fucking door
and get the coins off the ground yourself.
I can't fucking get out there.
You're going to need to fucking do it.
Because that's true.
He has to leave the restaurant.
Yeah, yeah.
And also.
This guy just meeting some strangers at a bar.
What makes this story pop into his head?
I don't know, but it's a good one.
It's good choice.
You have a listen to the end yet.
You have a listen to the end yet.
And I also think that
the two things happening,
he thinks he'll get the sack.
He's telling everyone later
because I was 25 cents short
on the till,
not that I've just
yelled fuck multiple times
to the customer.
The till wasn't balanced yet.
He's hanging out the window going You're going to have to fucking
The colonel's going to have my ass for this
He's like
You're going to have to fucking pick it up
I can't fucking reach it from here
You have to open your door
And get the fucking coins yourself
And she goes
Okay I'm so sorry
She opens the door
She's got no legs
She bends down
And starts scooping up the coins with no legs
and goes, sorry about that.
And he's like, oh, my God.
Now I am definitely getting fired.
He's like, I should have gone to Macca's.
There'd be a dedicated coin scooper person there.
I wouldn't have to do this.
That's so good.
Oh, my God.
I'll try and find it.
Do you know the Colonel, before he died, he was like off KFC.
He hated it.
Right.
He really turned around on it.
I have no idea who he is.
Yeah.
I'll try and find the quote because it's pretty good.
By the way, I love that last night the guy comes back with some beers
and Carla started telling me this story.
And Carl said, I'm just telling him the KFC story.
He goes, yeah, it's a good one.
This 20-year-old.
Did the woman get all the coins for him?
Or how did he get the coins?
I don't know.
Like, that was enough.
As soon as he said she had no legs, I was like, good story.
I don't need any PSs.
No sequels.
That's it.
It's a hard out there
I'm not like
When they
When they
When they had fucking
Gwyneth Paltrow's head in a box
I didn't go
But what happened next
At the end of that movie
Seven
I actually don't know which movie
What
Oh sorry
Spoiler alert
Oh no
What's in the box
Sorry everyone
What movie
What's in the box
A zinger fillet meal lady
Get those coins
A bunch of coins
Bend over Oh here we go Sanders remained critical Of Kentucky Fried Chicken's food in the box. A zinger fillet meal, lady. Get those coins. A bunch of coins.
Bend over.
Oh, here we go.
Sanders remained critical of Kentucky Fried Chicken's food.
In the late 1970s,
he told the Louisville Courier-Journal,
my God, that gravy is horrible.
They buy tap water
for 15 to 20 cents
a thousand gallons
and then they mix it
with flour and starch
and end up with pure wallpaper paste.
And I know wallpaper paste by God
because I've seen my mother make it.
There's no nutrition in it
and they ought not to be allowed to sell it.
That's awesome.
The guy's head is the logo of the brand.
And then shortly afterwards he died.
Yeah.
So that's what happens.
Oh, when you speak out against the chicken.
He's a whistleblower.
Even he is not...
People in Kentucky don't forget.
Don't forget, man.
That's why this guy was freaking out
About the coins dropping
He knows what happened to the Colonel
I won't name him
Unlike you who's handing up every cunt you've ever fucking met
That raps badly
I won't name this guy
Old fucking Canary Hussein over here
Just singing
I was at a cafe recently
Sammy the Squeal over here
I overheard a couple on what must have been a first date
And they were just kind of of getting into some deep stuff
and the lady was like,
yeah, I'm thinking about quitting my job.
I just don't know if I love my career
and I think I want to do something different,
but I'm just kind of worried that I'm a bit old
to start over and start from scratch.
And the guy goes,
it's never too late to start over again.
I mean, Colonel Sanders was 50 when he started KFC
and it's like, that's your one example of a late in life bloomer, Colonel Sanders was 50 when he started KFC and it's like that's your one example
of a late in life bloomer
is Colonel Sanders.
It's really like, God it says
immediately I was like, I know everything about
this man now. This has told me, there's probably
this guy.
Yeah, yeah.
If he looked 50, it might have
been him. It might have been this 20 year old.
Making a legless woman pick coins up
off the ground of KFC
off the
off the drive through ground
not even inside
not even the justice
of going
off the road
the dignity of doing it inside
yes
what was her order
did he
is that
heaps
it was heaps
I kind of don't get
why she was ordering
so much
like
obviously she might have
served other people too
yeah yeah
people with no legs
can have friends
I never said anything
I was not making a comment on her legs I think you're saying there's less body Well, obviously you might have served other people too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People with no legs can have friends. I never said anything.
I was not making a comment on her legs.
You're saying there's less body to have to like... I never said anyone.
Provide energy for to fill up.
Do you think that when you eat,
the food goes straight to your legs normally?
Is that what you think?
To be honest, I had a thought that started there
and then I was like, oh no, I've got to stop this.
I mean, you guys finished it.
Do you think people are like a thermometer?
Like we...
The more we eat, we go, fuck, I'm up to stop this. You guys finished it. Do you think people are like a thermometer? Like the more we eat,
they go,
fuck,
I'm up to me,
quads full.
I could go more.
Yeah,
I'm stopping.
When it gets to my abdomen,
I'm full.
I'm full.
Well,
Cody,
you were just mentioning before
you moved house recently.
I'm getting kicked out of my house
for two months.
What was that?
They're redoing the bathroom.
The landlord's redoing the bathroom.
Didn't I tell you to buy a place in a more affordable suburb?
You insist on positioning yourself as some sort of victim of the housing affordability crisis.
It's East Melbourne.
I think that's the most expensive suburb in Melbourne.
He's not there anymore.
I'm happy for that to be.
I'm happy for people to just believe that.
He's also in another expensive suburb.
Yeah.
Well, the reason...
Zero sympathy.
Well, I bring it up because I was going to see
if one of your 18 investment properties
was there around that time.
You don't know this, Naz,
but he lives in the Rialto now.
He lives in the rotating restaurant at the top.
So, yeah, we've got to find a place To live for two months
Real hassle

I've learned one thing from this episode.
Apart from the three windows versus one window debacle,
I've learned one other thing.
Thank you, Satan Azim.
Trying to get back in with the Christians.
Wait, so what are you going to do?
Well, believe it or not,
posting in a Facebook group actually did pay off.
Yes.
This guy got on there.
He responded to my girlfriend and he's like, we have this house in this suburb.
It's not too far from where we are now.
Young family of three, him and his wife have both taken long service leave for like two months.
They just want to go traveling with the kids while they're little.
They're like, we're going to take advantage of this, make the most of it.
So, you know, you can have the whole house.
Got a big backyard,
which is great for the dog and everything.
And it's like the timing works out
basically exactly.
And we're like, great.
And he goes, well, you know,
we own the house.
We haven't rented for a long time.
We don't really do any of the Airbnb
kind of stuff.
So we don't really know,
you know, what we should charge.
Like, what do you think's fair?
And we're like, here we here we go so we're getting our
rents getting paused so my girlfriend just sort of pitched as a starting point just the rent that
we pay each week in the house and he's gone oh what about this and he like puts it up a bit which
we're getting a bit more money from the real estate so we're like you know we've we're still
within the budget so we're like all right you, we're still within the budget. So we're like, all right, you know, that's fair enough.
Happy to have it just like out of the mind,
not have to stress about where we're going to go.
Lock it in.
You know, it was a little bit like,
oh, we just got to work out the exact date that we'd be leaving.
But yeah, happy to lock it away.
And then my girlfriend sends a message and she's like,
yeah, so let us know.
Do you want us to give you a bit of a deposit
or like maybe we could just come around and meet you
so we can just make sure
that each other's not scamming the other one
all that kind of stuff.
And he's like,
yeah, yeah, yeah, all sounds good.
And then he tacks on right at the end.
He goes,
oh, and by the way,
we have a cat that you'd have to feed
while you're here.
Oh my God.
Now, this sounds like house sitting to me.
Yeah, right.
This guy's fleecing us for some extra dough
and then getting in right at the end and being like, I am going to make you do some work to me. Yeah, right. This guy's fleecing us for some extra dough and then getting in right at the end
and being like,
I am going to make you do some work for me.
How much do you normally pay for cat sitting?
I have no idea.
Well, I mean,
that's the research you've got to do next
and then charge that back to him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's not bad.
I don't know.
What do you think about that?
It's a little...
Can you say,
listen,
the cat will be looked after in your absence
and if it's... are you comfortable with that?
You can then kind of outsource that work to one of your listeners.
Someone that loves cats.
So you think we'll want one of our listeners to go into his house and feed his cat.
I don't think you want that, but I'm sure one of your listeners.
It's not my cat.
Okay, but if all he wants is the cat to be looked after...
Yeah.
Surely there's someone that loves cats.
Right.
Do you think people love cats enough
that they would pay to look after a cat?
Like, you know, in some countries,
they've got Uber Kitten.
Oh, yeah, they've got the cat cafes in Japan.
You can make money.
Start one of them in this house.
I thought the bigger problem here
is that you've got a dog.
Yeah.
He knows about that.
See, we mentioned our pet up front.
This guy's sneaking a fucking cat in at the 11th hour. Oh, you mentioned our pet up front. This guy's sneaking a fucking cat in at the
11th hour. Oh, you mentioned your dog up front. Have you
done that in your current house?
I remember this shit. You didn't say anything.
You're going to have to edit this out.
No, but by the time your
current person listens to the landlord, they're going
to be out of there anyway. I'm looking at your face knowing you're going
to edit this out. No,
I'm a baby and I don't understand what you're saying.
Okay, what does
look enough for cats?
What's a landowner?
And now you're
subletting rooms.
You're a boss baby.
A landlord,
you mean my mum
a couple of months ago
when I lived inside her.
I'm going to be homeless.
Look enough for cats
just live outside,
don't they?
You can't just leave
a bag of shit.
He has mentioned
that it's an outdoors cat
that just goes
and lives its life
but it's like,
I just think it's like
jacking up the price on us
and then sneaking in the favour.
What happens?
What does it mean?
How do you fulfil that kind of, like, it has to be the same weight and happiness?
If it dies, it's on your head.
If something happens to it, you're officially looking up.
I probably will snap its neck and put it in the air at day one
just to sort of get that stress out of the way.
Oh, it just went out and never came back.
It's the weirdest thing.
Oh well,
trauma last.
What happens if the cat dies?
How much do you have to pay
for the dead cat?
Yeah.
I thought to be fair though,
a cat would be up there
with goldfish
for like how easy it is.
Goldfish die real quick.
No, no, no,
but I mean the ease of,
you just put it out
and they don't want to hang out with you.
That's the thing,
if there's some like
food dispenser thing,
just... Yeah, but that's like saying to you,
oh, you're a comedian.
Just come into my work at McDonald's
and do five minutes.
It's only five minutes work.
It's only five minutes.
But a cat,
I don't think they take a lot of...
It's like you're not walking your cat.
I don't even know where your cat is now.
It's just hanging.
What does it even mean looking after it?
Yeah, exactly.
They're not a dog.
Every day we're going to...
So it's like if we wanted to go away for a night or two
in the middle of that, which we may well do,
we can take the dog with us.
All of a sudden, now we're having to get like a third party
to come in and like house sit our house sitting.
The other funny thing about the house is there's...
I do like that.
It's three bedroom, two of them are children's rooms,
which I imagine is where we'll be doing the podcast
in a baby's bedroom.
Right, right. You'll be happy with that, Tommy. I'll be doing the podcast in a baby's bedroom right right
you'll be happy with that
tell me
I'll be right at home
I just say to my partner
like you take the adult bedroom
I'm going to sleep in here
look up at the fucking
clothes on
on the roof
clothes on
sick
yeah they come back
and I've just like
completely redone
the child's bedroom
you've come in and gone
and they've gone
why did you get a smaller bed in here?
Yeah, you can stay over.
We can sleep in the little bunk.
Are you going to do it?
Have you agreed?
I kind of think we,
like by the time this came up,
like I said,
it was literally at the last bit of the conversation.
This was just this week,
and my girlfriend was like,
I'm just going to,
I think we should ask you to drop the price a little bit
if we're doing this,
but I just want to get it locked in
and not have to fucking worry about it.
Are you good with those sort of conversations where you're like,
can I pay you less because of your cat?
Can you say that sort of stuff to someone?
I mean, yeah, I'm a pushover, but this is the beauty of it.
I'm driving all this, saying to my partner,
you've got to fucking tell them this, knowing full well I'm not the one
sending the message, you know what I mean?
You tell this cunt oh i see fuck off what i like in my relationship i'm the best at zero percent anger so i can give
i can talk all that and just go mate this is what i'm trying to get across and i give people more
chances than anyone else i think i've explained myself please understand where i'm coming from
yep if they keep giving me grief i'm to have to pass you over to my wife.
And she controls one to 90% anger.
And then when she's had it,
I'm back in for the 100%.
It's dead to like, I'm zero or 100.
But I'm like, I've got my hand out
like a fucking WCW tag team.
Like, get me back in.
Puss, puss, puss.
So the real estate, and we're moving out.
The people, the owners of the house,
they bought the house a year after we'd moved in.
But in that year,
we'd had a dog in there
and that dog chewed up a PowerPoint out the back.
And they're like,
the condition report has that,
you know,
it's not chewed.
I'm like,
well,
when they bought it,
it was.
They go,
but the condition report,
I'm like,
they didn't own it then.
They bought it.
They didn't do an inspection on the house.
They're fucking dumb.
Where are you at this stage, anger-wise?
I'm still at zero, even though I have said they're fucking dumb.
But you didn't yell it.
You said it very placidly.
That's their fault.
Who's buying a house and not getting a building inspection?
That, to me, is insane.
They haven't looked.
They've just bought it based off photos.
And they're like, what's this?
You go, they dog chewed it before you bought it.
I think they want us to fix it.
And I'm like, that's not when you bought it.
How much are we talking?
I don't know.
Well, Nazeem, what have you got in the portfolio?
Anything that's available January 30th?
Have you got anything open?
Anything empty at the moment?
Do you have any pets that need looking after?
I talk a lot
Sorry, sorry
Pass the mic to Slumlord Nazeem
I'm going to have to
This is all going to have to be edited out
I've got
Everything is leased
Everything's full
Well done
Congratulations
You'd appreciate this
My dad the other day
I've got a bunch of stuff that's just like in their garage like some camping stuff and uh dad was like oh can you you know can you

one cupboard we've got no storage space in our house if it's not if it's not taken up you know
it's in your you've got this huge garage can you just hang on to it like because there's literally
not room in our place for it and dad was like well if you don't have enough storage space you know what the solution is
like what he's like buy somewhere it's like isn't that the most fucking baby boomer shit
you've ever heard it's like what if i buy a house without a fucking cupboard
that'll just automatically buy a studio apartment and go what cunt in your face old man
I win
now what
what about this
so we're in
my place here
and so there's that
office over there right
so there's like
there's a
there's a couple of companies
that work
by the way
very interesting
you said that was the voting
yes
place
yeah
they pick weird
yeah it's like a
it's like an empty
commercial office
yeah yeah yeah
and that's where you vote some of it's full some of it's empty and they pick one of it it's a a It's like an empty commercial office block Yeah, yeah, yeah And that's where you vote
Some of it's full
some of it's empty
and they pick one of it
It's a weird street
to come down
Like this street was
fucking chocolate
Where I voted
near Ascaval
on Mount Alexander
the voting booth
it was like this
yeah, hollowed out building
It was like a gang
in a 90s movie
would hang out there
You know what I mean?
The Warriors went down
the road there
Warriors come out
and vote.
The Scientology Centre should have done themselves up
like they're a voting booth and made it look all legit
and then you go in and what's actually happening is
as you're filling out the thing that's doing the e-meter readings,
you're like, oh, you seem pretty stressed about who to vote for.
Come through here and have a chat.
Who do you want to vote for?
Have you ever pulled your dick out of the playground?
What?
It's a personality, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a question.
They get all the dirt on you and then they hold it against you.
I love that.
Going in and they're like getting all the dirt and it's like,
your opener is, I'm a pedophile.
Do with that what you will.
I hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.
And if it does bite me in the ass, I hope it's a kid to bite me in the ass.
Here I am with my baby co-host.
So that place, there are some occupied offices over there, some unoccupied.
There's quite a large company over there, a well-known company over there.
McDonald's?
Do you see?
No.
KFC.
Three of the windows are.
One of them is KFC.
Baby bunting? Tommy's looking for some are. One of them is KFC. Baby bunting?
Tommy's looking for some stuff.
That was just around the corner.
So, you know, it's got tinted windows.
You can see how it's got tinted windows.
Now, I think maybe this is a common trick
that maybe people fall into,
or maybe it's just me.
You see tinted windows and you go,
I can't see in there.
They can't see in here.
But then I never think, oh, that's right, I don't have tinted windows and you go, I can't see in there. They can't see in here. But then I never think, oh, that's right.
I don't have tinted windows.
Oh, no.
So I always look there.
Doing the helicopter.
Yeah.
Doing the helicopter.
So I'm a big one of getting up in the morning and walk around in the nut in here.
Really?
Yeah.
You've got a kid.
I know.
Well, no, but like when she's gone, like her mother's taken her.
So you wake up,
you change,
and then they leave.
I don't change.
I go to bed naked.
I sleep in the nude.
Are you a nude sleeper?
Are you a nude sleeper?
Nah.
Nah, I'm not. Nah, I'm boxers.
Or like cotton.
I'm even worse.
You know what?
I'm even worse
than a nude sleeper now.
How are you worse
than a finger up your ass?
I'm about to tell you.
Robbie Williams video.
I've added one.
I shave off my epidermis
I get down to the dermis
You remember Violet
That's year 7
Is it?
Yeah
I've added one piece of clothing
To my sleep regime
Cock sock
Like when people film sex scenes
No
Jocko Van Damme
On the
On the set
Cock sock
What's worse than sleeping naked?
Oh if you say
Fucking glove shoes
I'll bash you
Oh what's that?
Oh my god You know those You know those glove toe shoes that went off like runners?
Oh, they're fishing.
Each toe is individualised.
No, no, no.
One condom, just in case.
Just in case I have a wet dream.
Should the mood strike me?
Wet dream insurance at age 46.
No, I now go to bed in a fucking eye mask.
Oh, I want the eye mask.
Yeah, I don't want it.
Not nude.
Nude and eye mask.
For a bit of sleep VR.
Yeah, yeah.
Like I've got way too relaxed in first class on a flight.
People say the man leaving the socks on during sex is like such a daggy look.
Imagine rooting with the eye mask on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You need to.
No, I'm not going to say it.
Carl's a good looking guy.
No, thank you.
Thank you.
Good looking guy.
No, but yeah, so that's a recent move.
I love it.
Wait, wait.
So is this?
So we're going back to this.
Yeah, yeah.
So anyway.
All the sexy talk out of the way now.
Back to the story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Back to this.
So I'm One of
Walking around like here
And I'm always like
Oh yeah yeah
They can't see me
But like I said
At one stage I did go
Fuck they're tinted
I'm not tinted
I wonder if they can
See
Like this is
You know
But it's not just them
It's like there's
Apartments there
There's an apartment
Street
Look
It's got a corner window
No but it's
There's so many windows here
I'm not on the ground level
It's all windows No but you can't see down's so many windows here. I'm not on the ground level. It's all windows.
No, but you can't see down there.
From here, you can probably count like 20 windows.
Feasibly, there's like 10 offices.
Yes.
Yeah, maybe.
There's apartments right there.
Yeah, I keep an eye on that one.
I keep that shade down.
So I keep an eye on that one.
But that one, I think, is like nothing, whatever.
But then I always think oh fuck maybe they
maybe they can
or maybe
like is the distance involved
maybe they can't see
over that far
you live with like
a 20 year old
who's out of home
for the first time
I know
Tommy's a baby
he actually can't see
that far
he's only getting
our faces
it's a bit blurry
so I've always wondered
whether you could
actually see in here
from over there
and the other day
I was like
maybe I got a clue as to maybe they can see in here because oh when you were voting no no no
no no when i come out here one day don't use that pen and there's a
there's below the line there's a over there they've got the they had the blinds up
and they had a mannequin backed onto the window with no clothes on, like bare ass,
directly onto the window,
and they'd jerryed their arms around
so that it looked like it was doing a brown eye.
And I'm like, is this in reaction to me?
Wow.
Yeah, definitely.
That's awesome.
I was like, that's for me.
They're not tinted windows then.
It's just people sitting close to the window.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, but they had, I think, the blinds or whatever.
Anyway, you can definitely see it.
You could see it the other day.
They pulled the blinds up and they had the dummy
directly backed onto the window.
Cheeks spread with the fingers, with the arms or whatever.
Or is it tinted and it's your reflection?
How dare you, brown-eyed me, man.
You're in a place of business.
I'm in my home.
I'm looking over the road over my shoulder.
What?
Who's that?
I'm doing my daily goatee practice, and then all of a sudden, I'm confronted with this.
So there's two podcast hosts, and neither of us have heard of Mirrors.
Is that what's happened off the back of this episode?
We finally got to the bottom of it.
I love it.
I'm not sure.
For days, I was wondering.
You could have just walked outside and looked in.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
No, but you don't get the same angle.
Because once you go on the street, you look up and you can't see anything.
But on the same level, like I'm on half a floor up.
I think you've got to just go in there and be like,
I've got to ask, can you see me?
Have you seen my dick?
Yeah.
I wonder if, can you find out what offices are in there?
I know.
I know what offices are in there.
I don't want to say it on the show.
Just call them and find out.
Like, can you see...
Yeah, but what's the question?
Oh, yeah.
If you give away your address, then all of a sudden people are going to be swarming here
at 9am hoping to catch a glimpse of that hog.
Yeah, yeah.
How unlucky is this?
Binoculars Australia across the road.
Binoculars Australia.
Well, look, if it's all right, my phone number got put out on the fucking podcast 10 years
ago.
If the information of how to see my dick every morning at 9.30 doesn't go out,
that'd be great.
And they're doing an eye test and they're like,
can you see the guy's dick?
Put an eye test here, about here.
Put an eye test here and put a D as big as my dick just here and go,
can you see, how far down the line can you see over the road?
A very small
lower case I
I'd get that dot check
down if I was you
oh wow
so they just did the mannequin
for like one day
and then it's gone
yeah maybe one
maybe two days
and I'm sure
I know the answer
to this question
but I have to ask
because this changed
your behaviour anyway
not too much I'm doing a bit more hiding behind the question, but I have to ask, because this changed your behaviour in any way. Not too much, not too much.
I'm doing a bit more hiding behind the counter at the moment.
Right.
You're sort of like Austin Powers-ing it.
So you're making coffee in the nude?
I'll get a bit of toast in the nude over there, yeah.
So these drawers will have swipage.
I don't pull them out.
I don't hand my balls into the drawers.
Oh, you're not on this leather couch in the nude, are you?
No.
No, you are.
I bet you are. Oh, no, I never sit down. Was this leather white originally? nude, are you? No. No, you are. I bet you are.
Oh, no, I never sit down.
Was this leather white originally?
Or have you been up to no good?
Oh, look, that nine-inch crease, that was there to start with.
That wasn't me.
That wasn't me.
Nine-inch.
Nine-inch crease.
Oh, sorry.
I lowered it down.
All right.
Well, that's just about it.
That's all right. Wait, that's just about it.
Is that time?
Yeah, that's time. Wait, wait.
Did you finish your story?
You did, didn't you?
Which one?
The dog thing.
No.
No, that was it.
I was telling you.
Well, what about this?
Before we go, Tom, I did have a heap of other stuff, but I'll do this one.
Because this reminds me of the pub last night.
So we heard the KFC story, and I'm like, oh, man, fucking Footscray.
This is off.
I said, this pub. And there was another pub just down the road where I'm like, oh, man, fucking Footscray. This is off. I said, this pub.
And there was another pub just down the road where I'm like, oh, fuck,
I wouldn't mind going down to that pub.
And my mate that was with us, he goes, oh, man, don't go to that pub just down the road.
I'm like, why not?
He goes, man, I went in there.
I don't know what he was doing.
He had to pop in and just was killing time.
He had to do something else.
And he popped in, and he thought it was a normal pub,
but it was like they were putting the hat around to get a stripper and it was like thursday lunch
time or something was a stripper happening he's like oh man i just came in here to fucking kill
time while someone's good and they're putting the hat around they go come on put in he's like man i

he goes I'm not here for he goes the All right? He goes, I'm not even,

He goes,
I'm a bit worried
fucking saying it
because it's like,
it's rough,
the pub,
the landlord's,
you know,
the publican's rough
and the publican goes him.
The publican goes,
you're not fucking chipping in
and he goes,

He goes,

gay?
And he goes,
no.
But then he goes,
don't you want to see
my daughter's tits? He goes, isn't your daughter stripping? he goes, no. But then he goes, don't you want to see my daughter's tits?
He goes,
isn't your daughter stripping?
He goes,
yeah,
she's got to fucking
earn money somehow.
Like,
oh my God.
She could work at a bar maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
Jeez.
Where was his pub?
Like,
out,
Footscray.
So I don't know
if that guy's really, like, weird,
or if that's, like, a real progressive...
A typical fucking nepo baby.
Just getting that sweet stripping job because her dad owns a bar.
It's like, I do like that it's what you lead with.
What are you, gay?
No, no, I'm the other one.
I'm the answer to the second question.
Don't you want to see my daughter's tits?
No.
Okay. Yeah, I'm gay. That's the easy one. Yeah, I'm the other one. I'm the answer to the second question. Don't you want to see my daughter's tits? No. Okay.
Yeah, I'm gay.
That's the easy one.
Yeah, I'm gay.
All right, you got me.
I'll choose gay.
I'd rather be that one.
Thank you.
You choose gay.
All right, well.
Anyway, so happen and see out there in Footscray.
Get out there.
Do a bit of bar crawling.
Beautifully gentrified.
It's good stuff.
Nazeem can buy another investment property out there. Maybe I'll be living there in the future. Buy a pub out there instead of bit of bar crawling beautifully gentrified Nazeem can buy another investment property
out there
maybe I'll
be living
there
buy a pub
out there
instead of
buying another
house
I'm saving

toe in the
water with
Christmas

it starts

Then your daughter grows up and whatever next.
Got bills to pay.
Whatever you want to do next.
All right.
Nick Cody, Nazeem Hussain, thank you very much for joining us.
It's hard.
Every story was fucked.
What a start to the year, hey?
What a start to your life.
I can't believe I'm saying this.
Let's go back to the woman with no legs.
Offending Christians felt better.

great
you probably
if you hadn't heard of the pod
it'd be pretty brazen
just to come to a live show
yeah but you tell them
it's about people
fighting in the sky
yeah
yeah
we've got live shows
coming up as well
we've got live shows
Nazeem
I've got a book
called Hilarious Hyena
oh yeah
it's about a hyena
It's not how you spell hilarious
It's well I'm intentionally rebellious
I'll break the rules
It's in the bookshelf right there
I gave you this book as a gift
Thanks man
Next week still there
By the way
It's the only book
It's sitting underneath all of Don't Say Your Name's DVDs.
Hold on.
Begin Again, Pretty in Pink.
The saddest DVD, I think, hands down there.
I know, I know.
Here we go.
I know the angle.
What do you reckon?
I know the angle.
What are you going to guess and why?
I know what you're going to say.
You're going to say the Liverpool season review because it's this year's one.
I've bought a DVD this year.
This year?
That's exactly it.
Yes.
Got down to brashers.
Is it in yet?
I don't know.
I put it on the big screen.
It's in yet.
It's not on.
I can review in Stack Magazine.
It's not online and I want to watch it on the big screen.
You've got a few live at the Malthouse.
I do.
We make sure that, yeah.
That's the new DVD, so yeah.
We've been watching Liverpool.
It's all widescreen.
Yeah.
Can we get Liverpool highlights in 4-3 ratio?
When's the beta coming in?
All right, guys.
Thanks very much for listening, and we'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
I just noticed my wife's been outside with our baby waiting for this to finish.
So, the end.
And they've done it again.
Wow.
The first, again, the first It for 2023.
Yeah.
Huge.
Happy New Year, everyone.
To do It again so close into 2023, it bodes well for the rest of the year.
Absolutely.
Going to be a banner year for content if this is anything to go by.
I mean, look, I don't think it's early enough to say this is the best of the year so far,
especially when we haven't recorded it yet.
We're doing this first.
And also, in real terms, as we're recording this, we're not even in 2023 yet.
That's right.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Behind the curtain.
Whoa.
Behind the curtain.
Yeah.
Look, hopefully that was a good ep.
We're recording this in Tommy's house
right now. We're going to take
off and record the guts
of it in my house soon.
I just had a little bit of a delay then.
I had a missed call from my mum
and they're at the age where I have to
reply
immediately because it might be serious.
Good news.
Dad's not dead though, everyone.
I had a big fight with my parents in 2022 about them not informing me about medical things until well down the line.
And me saying, hey, I know you think you don't want to burden me, but I'm an only child.
It's just me.
You're getting older.
I need to be across this stuff.
I can't not know about what's going on.
I have similar arguments with my parents that live in the middle of a farm in the middle of nowhere, well into their 70s.
Oh, is this a sustainable idea, is it?
We don't want to talk about that.
No worries.
I guess I'll just talk to the ambulance when i'm two and a half hours away
from you yeah i i may have i don't know i may have talked about it in uh in this episode that
people just heard but it's uh yeah it's been a it's been a bit of a year for uh yeah really
realizing with my parents in regards to health stuff like yep it's all it's all starting to happen. It's all ramping up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah, fun.
Fun things.
Yes.
It's a funny old life.
Yes.
But of course, we need to look forward to the future.
Yes.
And touring and getting out there and doing live performances.
That's right.
We are, like we said, like the announcer said at the top of the show, we're heading back
to Adelaide.
Yeah.
It's, yeah, it's happening.
It's happening.
So get your tickets, you know, get them quick.
As you know, sales fast over there.
You don't want to miss out.
Absolutely.
That's right.
Another couple of months worth of this sort of stuff.
I'm also doing my solo show there for a week.
I'm in a 20 seat room
Wow
So let's see if I can sell any fucking tickets to that
Wow
Jesus Christ
The person who runs the venue being like
I'm sorry this is all I've really like
Oh this is all I've got
Me being like I can't see that being an issue
In fact I'm wrapped
I would be more annoyed if I was in a bigger room
To be quite honest with you Wow Well I was in a bigger room, to be quite honest with you.
Wow.
Well, we are in a bigger room than that.
We're in the usual.
We're at the Rhino Room.
Yeah.
So it is a decent-sized room to fill up.
So Adelaide, you know what to do.
Ignore us for two months.
But if you could not do that, if you could get on it early,
that would really help us out this time.
Because post-COVID, a little bit more worrying than usual.
But look, you always get there.
So if you could get there in a little bit more of a hurry this time, that would be great.
Yeah, we'd appreciate that a lot.
We do love doing the shows once we get there.
We love the town of Adelaide.
We love the Fringe Festival.
We love the food over there.
Yeah, always a great time.
My girlfriend came for the first time last year to Adelaide.
Had never been before.
And obviously, you get a very filtered view when you go in the Fringe.
But she absolutely loved it.
Yeah, yeah.
And she's coming back for a little longer this time.
It was.
And hey, look.
If we're not selling, we're on at a time where we don't clash with anything else in that venue.
Yep.
So, hey, I could put in a word and get us moved into that 20 seat room that I would have been performing in.
That's not a bad idea.
That's not a bad idea.
If the numbers aren't there, just go on.
All right.
Let's change it.
We're playing the 20 seater now.
We're playing the 20 seater.
And then when we sell more than 20 tickets, God willing.
By popular demand.
By popular demand, we have to move into a bigger room.
Right.
Let's call Egan.
That's it.
Let's do it.
That's it.
We're in the 20 seater. All right. That's the new plan. We're in the 20 seater. Man, I can't wait. All a bigger room. Right. Let's call Egan. That's it. Let's do it. That's it.
All right.
That's the new plan.
We're in the 20-seater.
Man, I can't wait.
All of a sudden.
Yeah.
This has flipped it for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Instead of dreading all the sales reports, I'm looking forward to selling this thing out.
Man, like I said, I've never had a bigger gap between someone pitching something to me and how bad they feel about it and my response being so like, I can't wait to just do a gig.
It's like, you know what I mean?
It's like the first time I'm doing the show, I'm working it out.
It's intimate.
It's like no pressure.
A quarter of the crowd is going to be on the stage.
Yeah.
Us and three guests.
That's going to be a fucking packed room.
We'll outnumber them.
If the gig goes badly and it comes to fisticuffs,
I'm not feeling too bad about our chances of being able to take on the crowd.
Yeah.
We're above them.
We've got a longer reach.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, great.
So get onto that.
And then, of course.
Before it sells out, guys, tickets are very limited all of a sudden,
as of a minute ago.
Boutique.
And then, of course, Melbourne, April 1, 8, 15, 22.
That's it.
And the supplementaries are...
Wow.
4.30?
4.30, that's right.
In the afternoon?
4.30 in the afternoon.
Saturday afternoons.
Doesn't clash with anything else,
which means we have, you know,
potentially some great guests
because they don't have a show on at the same time.
So you know what we like.
Trust us.
Always great guests.
Always great fun times.
Yeah.
Get on all that.

But, hey, if you do go to our website, we do have T-shirts on sale.
You can go there.
We've sold a few lately.
There's been a bit of a gap. I think it felt like everyone
had got a bit t-shirted out
but lately had to do a few
post office runs. So it's nice to go
back and talk to the
bloke up there,
the Thai post
office guy who every time I walk in
is obsessed with talking to me about everything
to do with Liverpool. That's great.
So I haven't talked for a while.
And I actually went in there the other weekend because it had been so long.
Because I've just been posting stuff out.
I've got all the postpacks.
They're at home.
I haven't had to buy a bunch for ages.
And so I felt like there was a little bit of an ex-girlfriend thing going on.
I hadn't been in to talk to him for a long time.
He's a bit shitty.
And I was like, oh, Liverpool kicking off tomorrow morning, whatever.
He's like, mm.
Mm.
Really?
He's thinking you found a younger, sexier post office.
Yeah.
Yeah, interesting.
It wasn't wrapped with me, but anyway,
I'm trying to get back into it anyway.
Getting into his good books.
Yeah.
But of course, yeah, get onto the Patreon and support the show.
You get two bonus mini episodes every goddamn week,
and perhaps more impressively, you go into the draw to get two bonus mini episodes every goddamn week and perhaps more impressively you
go into the drawer to get your name read out and immortalized at the end of an episode of
the little dum-dum club immortalized in the god damn brian hall of fame yeah sounds about right
whatever um great bonus episodes we just did a couple uh if you listened to last week's
episode we did the top five of 2022 in the bonus episodes that just come out you got six to 11
yeah you found out who what the other episodes were and we riffed all around that and it was
very fun we've been riffing all morning yep um all right let's crack into it and let's um let's
indiana jones style this let's um try and get this under the cave wall closing.
Slide sideways under it, Raiders of the Lost Ark style,
before lunch closes at the pub.
Oh, you want to get a little...
You want to go to the...
Do you reckon I can do that?
Do you reckon I've got time to do that
between this and the next episode we're about to record?
We've got two and a quarter hours
until we're meant to be recording. Oh, yeah, fuck, we've got ages. I think we're about to record. We've got two and a quarter hours until we're meant to be recording.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck, we've got ages.
I think we've got enough time.
Yeah, but we don't have enough time
for the pub kitchen.
It closes in 45 minutes.
Sure.
Well, I'll tell you what's not helping.
This chat.
Ironically enough,
sidelined by the very thing
that we were talking about.
Well, there's another minute go by.
So thank you very much to Patreon subscriber.
First cab off the rank this week.
Thank you to David Whiteley.
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
Not David White.
David Whiteley.
Yeah.
So not white-ish.
No.
Not white-esque.
Whiteley.
Not whitey.
Whiteley.
There's an artist, Brett Whiteley, who I had a friend in primary school who had kind of light, curly, buffy hair.
And he would come around and my dad would be like, get a load of Brett Whiteley here.
Great.
It's just like eight-year-old being like yes what the fuck are you talking
about yeah a guy an australian painter a bit abstracty that died in the fucking late 80s or
something i don't even i've just realized after all the years of hearing my dad make that reference
i don't even know what this cunny looks like so i'm just ah there we go yeah you know what
he does look a lot like my friend jeremy good, good call. You're spot on, Dad. Good call. When did he die?
He died quite a long time ago, so it would be...
Yeah, it's not a very topical reference.
I'm going to look this kid up on Facebook
and see if he's still rocking the Brett Whiteley hair.
Let's have a look.
Brett Whiteley died in 92.
He had an Order of Australia.
I mean, he must have...
He's a bit Harpo Mark style.
He must have just died
when Dad was making those references.
Yeah, yeah.
That's probably why he thought
that was a topical reference at the time.
Alright.
I don't know.
It's such a common name.
I'm not going to find this guy.
And also, the first thing that comes up
is a memorial page.
Oh.
I don't care to venture in and
work out if that's the same guy.
Killed himself thanks to
relentless bullying
relating to
Australian fine art. Some old cunt.
Walked into the
National Gallery and copped it again
and went, I'm no longer fit for this life.
That's it. I'm out of here.
Yep, yep, yep.
I mean, that would be cool
if you looked enough
like a famous artist.
Yeah, just go into the NGV
and just hang out.
Yeah.
Just hang out next to
some of the pieces.
I meant to take this one
home actually, guys.
Can I grab this one?
I sent the wrong one in.
I didn't mean to donate this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This was an accident.
I meant to give you
a different one.
So if I can just...
No, you've got this one before I finished it. Yeah yeah can i just bring this home for another coat and i'll bring
it in tomorrow i went to uh you can it can dry on the wall yeah yeah if you can ask people not to
touch it when they come in every day that'd be great i went to the picasso exhibition right near
the end of it on like a sunday morning worst time to go so crowded
full of fucking irritating people like you just just overhearing the most banal conversation like
i heard one woman just standing there looking at one of the pieces going he's talented isn't he
oh you reckon you reckon picasso is good at, do you? Fuck my ass. That is a very good concept.
Overheard at the gallery.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
People that don't know anything about art, but what is there to fucking know, I guess?
I just was like, I could go on like a Wednesday afternoon when there's no one here.
Why have I chosen to come at the most crowded point in time?
But yeah, I mean, if you're going to Oslo Davis it and just get some sweet overheard
action, then that becomes its whole other thing.
I mean, we've technically been an artwork in the NGV.
Remember that?
Oh, yeah.
We have too.
And along with Lawrence Mooney and his dick.
Oh, no, no.
That's the museum. Oh, it, no. That's the museum.
Oh, it's the museum.
Yeah.
Okay, fair enough.
But we should try and get a gig up in the museum.
We should just try and do like all the major like kind of tourist trappy venues.
Hey, when we, so we're at your house.
We're recording at your house right now.
This is Talking Dumb Dumb.
Yep.
Just to remind people at home and to remind us because we're in the middle of recording
a fucking heap of things.
This is the,
like,
fourth thing we've done
or something
and I truly am starting
to lose track.
Yep.
So that's why I'm saying it out loud.
Yeah.
This is where we are.
Yeah.
We're in Melbourne.
This is the ep,
for the ep that we haven't done yet.
Yep.
So,
what is the plan?
Are you gonna,
are we gonna drive together
to my house?
Or am I, am going to take off early?
I PT'd.
Oh, yeah.
I'm happy to PT back.
I don't know whether we'll have time, there'll be a gap,
or whether we just go together or how it works.
Would you be happy to PT back if you knew that I was driving?
I don't mind.
Depends what the hours are like.
If there's another hour and you go
I'm not going over there
and wait for an hour
or 45 minutes
oh I see what you're saying
like I'll sit here
let's go get something to eat
and then
we'll drive over
great
because you know what
well
you know what you might need
to be part of
and which will kill
a little bit of time
is I finally have a
I'm about to pick up
a piece of artwork
for
my wall.
Oh.
So there's nothing on my walls at all.
Yep.
Still, we've been living in that house for six years or something like that.
Nothing on the walls.
Yep.
I have got a bit of artwork for the wall.
Okay.
And artwork's a stretch, but still.
Okay.
It is my wife complaining about it as well,
and me going, all right, I'm in charge of it.
I'm doing it.
Okay, no worries.
So straight to Google Images, Koh Samui Beach.
Oh, my God.
Sent it to Officeworks.
Oh, God.
And they've just printed it out and framed it,
and I'm about to go and pick that up on the way home.
I thought the end of this was going to be that you had bought online
a painting from my recent exhibition. No. And you were like, can you drop me off at the gallery so I and pick that up on the way home. I thought the end of this was going to be that you had bought online a painting from my recent exhibition.
No.
And you were like, can you drop me off at the gallery so I can pick it up?
If you had done that without me knowing and then you make me give you a lift to get it,
it would be great.
That'd be good if I was, yeah, if I'm like, yeah, just, that's all part of the service,
isn't it?
I paid this much.
I don't want to fucking carry it.
I should get a lift to the place.
It's like a pizza place, isn't it?
Yeah.
Like, it gets delivered.
And while it's being delivered, can I hop in too?
So you've got it printed off there and then you're going to, what, get like a nice frame for it?
Or are you just going to blue tack it to the wall?
No.
Like a uni share house.
It's been like a page three pin-up.
No, it's been framed at Officeworks, I believe.
Cool.
Yeah.
Oh, they do?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My girlfriend has...
But you know what I'm worried about is that I sent it and then thought, fuck, it's getting
printed pretty big.
Did I...
It's going to look like shit.
Yeah.
If it's just you've gotten it from Google Images, it's going to look awful.
I pumped up the resolution a bit.
Getty.
Yeah.
Watermarked.
Yeah.
Framed hanging on your wall.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm not paying for the copyright
for that
I'm just going to blow it up
and frame it
and spend all my money
framing it
and then it looked like shit
no I've blown it up
but then at the end
I was like
fuck did I blow up enough
so I might
I've already said
to Don't Say Your Name
I've already said
it's going to be one of those things
where we can put it
at the end of the bed
and we can just look from in bed
and not get too close to it
yeah yeah yeah
right right that we'll see my girlfriend has a story where she was dating a guy and he lived in a share house and we could just look from in bed and not get too close to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right.
That we'll see.
My girlfriend has a story where she was dating a guy
and he lived in a share house and they had just nothing on the walls.
And so she, for Christmas or a birthday or something,
she bought him a nice frame and then gave him some money
and said like, hey, you know, here's some suggestions of places
you could go get a nice piece.
Here's a frame, you know, get something nice for the wall of the house.
Pretty cool gift gift I thought
and then she said
the next time she went around there
in the frame
they'd just gotten
that like
just a poster of Bill Murray
right
so like
men are idiots
yeah
great
yeah
alright
well thanks
Brett Whiteley
thanks
David Brett Whiteley
thank you very much to patient subscriber Joe Tompkins.
Okay.
Joe J-O.
Joanne Tompkins.
The fairer sex, I would assume.
Tompkins.
What does that mean?
What's the origin?
Men are the unfairer of sex, I assume.
I guess.
Yeah.
Fairer.
I don't know.
It was always a thing to say.
I don't know.
Fairer means...
I mean, in that context, fairer would mean more lighter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I guess lighter lends itself to... I don't know.
It vaguely makes sense.
It's a battle, isn't it?
It vaguely makes sense.
I'm sorry to fucking do this again, folks,
but it's getting near lunchtime.
I'm not talking about lunch.
All right.
I'm looking up Joe Tompkins.
Okay.
But very...
What's happening?
Well, the profile pic is of a bloke with a baby.
Nice.
Maybe it's the baby.
Well, I don't think it is.
Joanne Tompkins, the little baby.
It is a bloke.
Okay.
Joe Tompkins updated his cover photo.
Joe J-O.
And what's his name?
J-O.
I don't think I even... I don't think I've heard of a male
I quite like it
A male Joe
Yeah, I quite like it
J-O
Yeah
Wow
Jojo
I always thought that was
J-O was always short for Joanne
Yeah
But this is short for J-O-E
Yeah
He's abbreviated J-O-E
Cut me off
But you don't need it
I like J-O
It just looks
It looks cooler It's confused me J-O-E. Cut me off, but you don't need it. I like J-O. It just looks cooler.
It's confused me.
J-O, short for Joe.
It's Joe, you know, short for Joe.
No, maybe, I mean, J-O.
Maybe it's short for jacking off.
Jacking off Tompkins.
I would say not, but happy to roll with it.
I think so.
Okay.
I'd love it if you went along with it for the purposes of comedy.
Okay.
If it pleased the court.
I'm on board.
I'm back.
I now believe that that is what it is.
Jacking off Tompkins.
Jacking off Tompkins.
Short for Joe.
No, it's short for jacking off.
See, this is fun.
Look, I was going to say, he's got a baby in the profile pic,
so I'm thinking there's not as much jacking off going on there.
It hasn't been wasted.
You mean to tell me it takes a significant nosedive
once a kid is in the equation?
No, I'm saying that most of it has been going to creating the kid
rather than wasting.
Spilling his seed.
Instead of just doing it out the window.
I mean, he could have had a few pumps to kind of get himself going
and then do the insertion.
Okay.
You know a little...
Oh, God.
You know what I mean?
Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
A bit of warm-up.
You've got to fucking meet me halfway here.
I'm with you.
I'm not against you.
I'm not against you.
There was no negative coming from me that time.
This is meant to be a partnership.
I get it.
If I say that he's whacking his dick before he had sex with his wife,
you'll go along with it and you'll damn well like it.
Yes, and he has been jacking it up and whacking it up a pussy.
Please, sir, may I have some more?
Yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
Agreed.
Joe Tompkins.
Well, congratulations, Joe Tompkins, on the announcement in this feed,
on the new nickname, on the new nickname,
on the new explanation of your first name.
Absolutely.
And thirdly, on your child.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks for the support.
Yeah.
In his profile pic, he's holding his baby,
and I can't help but notice that the kid's got no top on,
but has got pants on.
So just...
A bit weird.
Yeah.
Is that a little bit weird?
Lid off.
Yeah.
Just a hot day.
The dad's got a top on.
Baby hasn't.
Baby's gone, no.
A bit warm for me today.
Yeah.
Dad's gone a bit chilly.
The classic argument.
Yeah.
Well, thanks, Joe.
Well, thanks, Joe. Well,
thanks.
Thanks.
Well,
another abbreviation,
if I can just call you Jack,
short for,
you know,
jacking off,
which was short for Joe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Please call me Jack.
Short for jacking off. Yeah.
Which is what Joe is
abbreviating.
Yeah.
Thanks, Jack. Thanks, Jack Joe is abbreviating. Yeah.
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks, Jackie.
Thank you very much, too.
See, that was a short one, but I think we packed a lot into that one.
They don't have to go for 10 minutes if you nail it.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
You don't need a big run up.
It's like a one-inch punch, that was.
Right.
No, totally.
Boom.
Straight in.
The guy's knocked out.
We did it.
It's quality or it's quantity. It's never both. Yeah, totally. Boom. Straight in. The guy's knocked out. We did it. It's quality or it's quantity.
It's never both.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why swim around when you've already got to shore?
Exactly.
If you... Yeah.
Sure.
Go back in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber David Bolton.
Lord Bolton.
I'm going to...
It seems like a name I've read over and over on the socials or here,
and I am going back to just triple-check that we've not read his name out,
but that's not the case.
It's only familiar to me because me and the Misso have been going through Game of Thrones,
and there's a family in that called the Boltons,
so I've been hearing Bolton blaring out of the TV pretty frequently.
But I don't recall seeing this name on the socials or hearing it in this Patreon.
You don't recall this Bolton in Game of Thrones talking about signing up to our Patreon?
You don't recall that?
Ye olde Patreon.
You don't recall that?
No.
I don't recall it coming up.
No.
I recall him catching a guy and torturing him.
Right.
Pretty cool.
recall it coming up.
No.
I recall him catching a guy and torturing him.
Right.
Pretty cool.
I hope he wasn't part of
the Red Wedding
or whatever it was
where everyone gets killed
and then we would have
lost a Patreon subscriber.
I tell you what,
that Red Wedding,
even knowing that it was coming,
still fucking got me.
I've never watched an episode.
It is.
That'd be the one,
the only thing I know about
Game of Thrones is
everyone gets killed all the time
and the term Red Wedding.
Yeah, so there's an episode where like I knew, you know, I knew it was coming. So the only thing I know about Game of Thrones is everyone gets killed all the time and the term Red Wedding. Yeah.
So there's an episode where I knew it was coming.
I knew what happened in that episode, but it still snuck up on me.
I was like, that is truly damn good television to know what's coming and still be surprised
by it.
It's a hell of an episode.
Okay.
There's a character in the show and just fast, if you don't want Game of Thrones spoilers,
then just fast forward.
There's a character in it who gets captured by Lord Bolton
and basically tortured.
He cuts his dick off.
He keeps him in a cage,
and then he basically has him trained as a little dog,
and he changes his name to Reek.
He starts calling him Reek as his little pet.
And so I started a bit where I started calling our dog Reek
and my girlfriend hated it.
And I was like, it's the same thing.
We took him away from his family.
We cut part of his genitals off.
We keep him in a cage and we train him as our little pet.
He's Reek.
And she's like, I hate this.
Please stop calling our dog Reek.
Reekie.
Little Reek.
Reekie. Reek. He'sie. Little Reek. Reekie.
Reek.
He's asleep right now and he's starting to stir because he's answering to his new name.
He's dreaming.
He's doing the little dog twitches.
Little REMs.
He's imagining himself running or something.
What about this REM?
Speaking of REM, they are a band.
Yes.
Who were a big band.
Thank you for going with me.
Correct.
See, this is how it starts. Thanks for not fighting. Oh, no. REM aren't a band. Yes. We're a big band. Thank you for going with me. Correct. This is how it starts.
Thanks for not fighting.
Oh, no.
I already am on a band.
That's a thing to do with sleep patterns, actually.
I reckon they're the biggest band that no one says, oh, they should get back together.
You don't think people think they should get back together?
I don't think they do.
I don't think anyone does.
I don't think there's any demand for it.
I don't think anyone ever says it. Don't you think they do. I don't think anyone does. I don't think there's any demand for it. I don't think anyone ever says it.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
Every band that's apart, people go, oh, they should get back together.
I don't reckon anyone says that about REM.
I don't think anyone misses REM.
That's a good, yeah, that's interesting.
Let us know if you listen and you think that.
Speaking of bands that will not get back together, I am going, in a week's time when people are hearing this to my first ever
cover band what your first ever i've never i've never like been to see a cover band i've never
like paid to see i've never seen advertised like a cover band of a band oh wait i know who you're
going to see yeah i know who it is do Do you? Yes. It is Talking Heads.
I can't wait.
Right.
I can't fucking wait.
Talking Heads at the Corner Hotel.
Yeah.
I did see a sign for that because I love any cover band that advertises big band posters
and they go Talking Heads and then you see them very little type V and experience.
It's funny because they don't even they don't have like
a joke name or anything
I think the band
I think the band
might be called
Once in a Lifetime
yeah and it's very
very small type
yeah
you see it from the road
like
they're genuinely
trying to do it
you see it from the road
you're driving past
you see Talking Heads
at the Corner Hotel
and you go
oh they're back together
and they're playing
the Corner Hotel
man I don't
I'm so excited
like I love
Stop Making Sense
I think it's like
maybe the best
like live performance
of any band ever
and when I listen to it
I'm like god damn
this would have been
so good to see live
I think they play
like three sets
this cover band
I'm fucking pumped
I can't wait
there was when I was in
Perth for Christmas
in I think 2020
we came back the day of New Year's Eve.
So we flew back on the 31st and we were in Fremantle and they were advertising a, on New Year's Eve on the beach at Fremantle, there was going to be a Jamiroquai cover band.
And there was a point, because we'd been having such a good time.
The weather was so good.
We'd just been going to the beach every day.
We were already like, ah, fuck, should we go back to Melbourne?
Should we maybe just have New Year's Eve here?
And then I saw that and I was like, God, this would be fucking awesome.
Let's stay.
And then my girlfriend was like, I would not go to that with you.
I'm like, oh, well, let's fucking go back there.
Right.
Well, you saw a cover band just the other week.
You saw the Ween cover band called Weender.
Weender.
They were at Nick Capper's birthday party.
Oh, great. It was a. Weander. They were at Nick Capper's birthday party. Oh, great.
It was a surprise little, surprise party and surprise booking of them.
They did a great bit, I thought, where they had set lists kind of printed out that were on all the tables.
And it was all like, Nick's birthday bash band.
And it was all like, the set list was like, whatever, brown-eyed girl and just like, very, Nick's birthday bash band. And it was all like the set list was like whatever,
Brown Eyed Girl and just like very like rock around the clock.
Yeah, just classic like jukebox rock hits.
And they started up playing.
Did they start playing?
Yeah.
They started playing Summer of 69.
They started one of them and got halfway through and stopped
and went, just kidding.
Yeah.
That was sick.
I think that's funny but the
way they did it i thought was weird in that they over egged it and were like they put the set list
everywhere i was like what band yeah what that's the fucking set right right right who does that
it did give up the ghost a little bit but uh but hey very on brand for a ween cover band to do
something kind of weirdly if i if i had have done it it
would have been you just play it without the set list you just go right we're a cover band whatever
but then also when they stopped they then stopped to go all right we're not playing that song
anymore because we are a ween cover band instead so now we are going to play some ween songs it's
like just cut the song in half and start playing yeahoodoo Lady or Push the Little Daisies.
And then watch Kappa go, what the fuck is going on?
They killed it.
I'm not really a Wayne fan, but they were great.
They were great.
I've seen them with Kappa.
I've seen them three times now.
Great.
Yeah.
It was a great idea by Kappa's fiance.
And also, when it got to brass tacks, it's like, you go, fuck, this is actually a great idea by Kappa's fiance and also
when it got to
like brass tax
it's like
you go fuck
this is actually a good idea
it was like
how much do they cost
it was like this much
it was like
that's a
pretty affordable
like that's a pretty good
to get them to play
yeah
private party
yeah
cool
it's like if you were really
into a band
that's
that's a pretty good deal
cool
yeah doable
maybe my partner will be doing this for me with this Talking Heads cover band for my
40th in three years' time.
Yes.
Well, thanks, David Bolton.
Thanks, David.

Okay.
That's a clash there, isn't it?
There's a clash of cultures happening. It sure is.
That is a very old school,
that's like an 1800s English little women name versus not that.
Yep.
It's the name of a family friend of ours who I need a place.
We need a place to live for a couple of months.
We're getting kicked out of here while they do some work.
Wow.
Real pain in the ass.
Wow.
And this friend of my parents I happen to know own an apartment that's empty.
So I called them and i said hey would you
maybe lease it to us and they went oh well think about it and get back to you that was three months
ago and i haven't heard a damn thing you know what it's like you can't push it but it's like
this house it's just it's empty we need somewhere to live and you've got an empty house that we're
offering you money for what's the holdup yeah
also if you don't want to do it just and i like on the phone i was like totally fine if it's not
okay completely understand you don't have to feel guilty i know it's a big ask da da da
just like nah we're just gonna fresh air this guy i love it where is it where's the apartment
it's in like south Yarra. Right.
So.
This affects the show.
Like where are we recording?
Well, I think, again, I may have talked about it in, wait, what are we recording again?
Talking Dum Dum. Talking Dum Dum for Nazeem and Cody.
I may have talked about it on this episode.
But we found a, yeah, we found a place to live.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
No further questions.
No further questions
about a thing
you've already heard about.
an hour ago.
But,
but yeah,
that's,
that's my,
that's my family friend,
Charlotte.
Her parent,
her parent
fucking did me dirty.
Yeah,
right.
The old,
yeah,
my parents
own a beach house. Sorry,ard um but they uh they early days they
rented it out and then it was just too much of a pain in the ass so yeah fuck this but now it's
sort of like a long time later like i'll say to them you should rent it out you know you should
airbnb you should whatever and they're like nah that was too much hassle so no you were doing it when it was a fucking waste of time
like 15 years ago or something if you did it now like it's all i think it's all a lot different
like you know you got to get cleaners in you got to do whatever yeah and it's like it's a fucking
beach house like if you just do it like they don't they don't go down there that much get on airbnb
and then like hire someone who lives in the area
to do the key drop-off and the cleaning.
Give them a cut.
Money just rolls in.
Easy stuff.
They're crazy.
Yeah.
You'll be able to appreciate this.
I don't know how this came on my radar,
but I've started following an account on Instagram
called Cheap Houses of Japan.
And it's just all real estate over there.
It's these like
great little houses that are like 40k just like crazily cheap and i keep going like i'm gonna do
it i'm gonna buy property in japan and then just like stay there when i go once a year and just
airbnb it the rest of the time i genuinely like it keeps coming up and it's like mostly because
it's like this is so cheap yeah to own a fucking house in a great country.
This is crazy.
Do they have the ruling like the same thing that's always stopped me with the Thailand
stuff of 51% has got to be owned by someone from Thailand.
They don't have that.
Nope.
You can.
Yeah.
Me and a friend were both looking into it.
This admittedly was mid lockdown, but we were like every day we were like talking about
it more and more and
more.
And yeah,
you,
you can,
you can own it,
but it's like,
they're very clear that like,
this doesn't,
this doesn't grant you like citizenship or any kind of like visa exemption or
anything like that.
Yeah.
So you still can only stay for like a month at a time.
Like just because you own the place,
you know,
this isn't like a,
this isn't like a cheat code to just being able to like do whatever you want in japan yeah but yeah you can you can
fucking buy the property for sure yeah pretty cool that would be cool uh just popping down the beach
house yeah in osaka just uh i'll be there in nine hours just you flying over over to osaka to
interview some new tenants some uh i'm going over every time there's a new person staying there
to do the key drop-off.
Yeah, to do the...
Someone's moving in that's going to Japan TAFE.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You own a share house.
Yep, yep.
They've got the posters with no framing stuck on the wall.
Posters of Qbert on the wall um posters of um cubert yeah on the wall well as like yeah as a lot of people
were doing in lockdown me and this friend it was like we would get we were looking at ones that
were like super run down and we were like what if we get this for a steal and then we go next like
summer like japanese summer our winter when we're out of lockdown we'll go over there for like a
month and we'll just we'll a month and we'll just live there
and spend some time like fixing up this house.
Go do the touristy stuff but just like have this project
where we're like hanging out, like drinking beers,
like cleaning up this house.
How awesome is that going to be?
And then it's like you get out of lockdown.
It's like, I'm not doing that.
Yeah.
Yeah, the spell's been broken.
An incredibly unrealistic view of how you can live your life at 36.
The spell's broken.
Yeah, you're out.
Well, thanks, Charlotte Gupta.
Thanks, Gupta.
If we just do one more now, we've got time to pack up here,
walk down to the pub and order before they...
Get in before that wily chef slams the door shut on us.
Before the iron curtain closes down there.
They've slammed that kitchen door in my face too many times.
All right, let's just do one more.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber...
Oh.
Oh.
Wow, I did think it was weird before,
but that's been confirmed where it's actually a thing.
Okay, that is a name.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Jacking Off Comedy.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
I thought that was a bit stupid.
Maybe that guy could have taken offense, but that's a legitimate name.
That's it.
It's like we're getting validated.
We've actually got two of them out of five.
That's actually very weird.
Yeah, it is strange.
A lot of weird things happen in these Patreon raids.
It's a crazy time of year.
I should be used to it by now,
but still surprises still pop up.
Absolutely.
Smack me in the face.
Well, guys, happy 2023,
and thanks for listening,
and we'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
