Episode Date: December 20, 2023

This week we're joined by DAVE HUGHES and BRON LEWIS! Bron's husband is in Ibiza and Hughesy's fondly remembering his time studying IT near Karl's house, but we're most excited to learn that we're in the presence of an icon. Hughesy has been named as one of Rolling Stone's 50 Australian Icons so we spend a good chunk of our time dissecting the rest of the list. Along the way we cast Hughesy's Plastic Bucket Boys, attempt to get him mentioned in the Daily Mail, and hear about Richard Branson disrespecting him. No thank yew! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on the Little Dumb Dumb Club, a brand new episode with guests Dave Hughes and Bron Lewis. We have got live shows on sale. You can come see us at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. That is on sale right now. Adelaide is about to go on sale. Yes, very exciting news for both, well, I was going to say both cities, for the city and the town. Yep, yep. And as far as I can see in my diary, which only goes up until May, that's it. Yep.

No, there's more. There's more coming up. Guys, hey, listen. There's a very, very special announcement in the middle of the episode. There's a bit of a queue. We've got a coup, I should say. A queue. A queue.

There's a queue for ads, and it's a queue of one. And there's one ad happening this episode. It's going to be in the middle of the episode. It's a bit of a coup because we have sponsored ourselves. There's an ad for ourselves in the middle of the episode, so watch out for that. Yeah. Until then, though, enjoy this new episode with Dave Hughes and Bron Lewis.

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 Chandler. Hello, Dickie. And joining us today, we have two great guests. Please welcome back into the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Ron Lewis and Dave Hughes. Great to be here. Exciting stuff. Welcome home, Hughesy. You Club, Rod Lewis and Dave Hughes. Great to be here. Exciting stuff.

Welcome home, Hughesy. You just told us you went to school. We're in my house, we're at Casa del Chandler in Hawthorne, and you used to go to school? Yes, in Victoria. They just had the VCE results. They did.

I mean, when we're filming or recording, this was yesterday, and I saw images of children, or children, 17-year-olds or 18-year-olds, on TV opening their results or getting them on their phones and some of them looking happy and some of them looking sad. And it reminded me, when I got my results, which via the mail back in the day, I looked sad because I was disappointed with my results until I did a ring around of all my friends and realised

that I'd got better results than everyone else. Yeah, that's all you need, isn't it? Everything is relative and I ended up with the best results in my year 12 year. Oh, wow. You're ducks. You're ducks. I was ducks of the worst year in the school year.

Okay. Doesn't matter. It's all relative. Going in the newspaper with everyone in the state, that's not helpful. You just need contextual. People in your family and what they got back in the day, you want to know you beat them. That's all that matters.

Do you remember this, Hughsy? Because this is your era, similar-ish era to me, where they would write down whatever number you got. They would write down what job you could do. Do you remember that? Look, I i remember i don't remember that i do remember that i was ducks of my school you do remember that that's weird my relative is that i couldn't get into i wanted to be a lawyer back in the day because la law uh guys who remembers yeah yeah Bernson. Yeah, it was a late 80s, mid 80s TV show

and it was set in LA, obviously, and they were all the dudes were, you know, I thought it was my way into meeting hot chicks, to be honest. I could see that coming a mile away. I wanted to be a lawyer, but I was stuck for my school, but I did not get

enough marks to get into law, even at Deakin University. So it was a bad year. We were talking off air about Butterfly's Wings and the sliding doors moments, imagining there's no huesy, we have a problem, but you're up on some heinous charges and you're just doing, ejection, your honour. I reckon I would have been, yeah, I would have taken over that courtroom.

Oh, yeah. But I mean, I still, I follow a lot of court cases and think I'd know a better way to, you know. You could still do it. To do. The day is young. Bit of law explaining. But did you grow up in the country?

So did you go to boarding school? No, this is my year two. I grew up in the country, Warrnambool, country Victoria. So I was at CBC, Christian Brothers College. And so it was to year two. I grew up in the country, Warrnambool country, Victoria. So I was at CBC, Christian Brothers College. And so it was to all boys. So the girls' school next door, they would have got better marks than me, most of them, to be honest. Okay.

So you didn't go to school in Hawthorne? No, I went to university for six weeks. Got it. At Swinburne. Studied law. No, I didn't stay law school. I couldn't get into it. I studied information technology, which was the first year they had presented

that course or offered that course 989 Information Technology Was brand new It's a short course It was brand new And it was like The internet

Literally on and off The internet Hadn't kicked off Really So I was on the cusp Of What now Is where all the money

In the world is It's all in IT So what were you learning Like how to Frame up a floppy disk I was Hang on I like you You're going This Oh I could have been What now is where all the money in the world is. It's all in IT. So what were you learning? Like how to frame a floppy disk? Hang on, I like you usually going, oh, I could have been in IT where all the money in the world is. I think you've done all right.

I've done all right. I'm not Bill Gates. But, you know, I was – coding is so boring. Computer coding is just numbers. And in six weeks I got so bored. But it was also – I had a scholarship to do it, so I was getting paid. Oh. Yeah, not a lot.

And also, this is back in drinking days. Drinking huesy days. I was drinking huesy days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I quit after six weeks. Oh, weak. Six weeks. First year of uni, living away from Warrnambool for the first time. Yeah, getting drunk and lost in Melbourne.

Yeah, yeah. But in six weeks, the hex kicked in. Oh, yeah. If you quit in the first six weeks, you didn't have to pay your hex. Oh, that's very smart. It's really smart. No wonder you adapt. I love that idea, though, of people, the pressure.

I'm 17-year-olds and whatever to make that decision. You're like, I'm going to be a lawyer. And then it's like, you can't get into law. Okay, I'm going to invent the internet instead just that decision when you're 17 and a half about what the rest of your life's gonna be yeah so did you go back to uni after that i did i did i went i did worked in an abattoir for a year and um that's a tafe course i love it this is the progression law i.t abattoir comedian i used to talk to the sheep.

I was very gentle with the sheep. I would lead them to the afterlife in a very gentle way. Do crowd work with them? That's where you got the buzz for comedy? I was like, come on, you'll be right. It's going to be a good show. It's like leading people into a show. You're going to be fine in there.

There's nothing to worry about. You have the time of your life. My dad used to work at an abattoir. Yeah. And I remember he tried to toughen us up with the animals. So I remember once my little brother and his friend came to visit. My dad's, like the farm he was working on, my dad slaughtered a pig in front of them. They would have been six.

Oh, no. Slaughtered a pig in front of them that they had been playing with only moments before. Oh, man. And then he cut the balls off the pig and threw one testicle at my brother and the other one at his friend Dane McKenzie. And they were like both were crying and my dad was like, grow up. The simplistic mentality of a parent in that generation of like, this will toughen them up. It's like, no, this is giving them lasting psychological issues.

Hang on. There were two testicles, one at his son and then one at his son's friend? Yes, Dan McKenzie. Oh, he didn't fucking sign up for that. No one did. Jesus Christ. Yeah, but you know what? And this is speaking from a vegan now after, you know what?

Good. I'm glad that your dad did that. Because if you're going to eat bacon You know You need to see how the pig gets slaughtered So I might That's the That generation equivalent

Of sharing a video from Peter On your Instagram stories Exactly Guys, meat's murder So if you eat bacon You should have a ball Thrown in your face I think

Just to know where it came from Look I've said this before But my daughter Was you know Loved Loved like ham sandwiches And she didn't know Where the ham

Where it came from. She didn't realise the pigs got killed. Right. Did she also only go to uni for six weeks? Yeah. That's week seven. She was three or four, but her sister told her that the pigs die. So, you know, she started crying.

And the joke I do is that the only thing that stopped her crying was a ham sandwich. But, yeah, so I think it's good. And, yeah, anyway. Are any of your kids vegan or vegetarian? Not at all, no. And I bang on about it all the time and they bang on about climate change

and I say, well, you're not a vegan, so shut up. Yeah, daddy's got to fly. I honestly get annoyed and I'm not someone who bangs on about climate change because I really don't care. I'm thinking about investing in coal companies which are quite cheap at the moment and they've got a really

really good yield. There's one called Yan Coal. Go off King. No, I'm not going to off King. I just realised that I'm about to do a climate change video so no, I'm not going to invest in that coal company. You won't.

I wouldn't and I'm not going to invest in that cold code good yeah i'm not yeah i wouldn't and i'm not going to this is like the story i heard about you uh on radio just so you know mooney got in the daily mail on this podcast two weeks ago for talking about smoke and meth so whatever you want to say i know i know you know what that was a shot across the bow actually of being on this podcast to know that you can end up in the daily mail yeah and uh i know if we'd have gotten you in here before that had dropped, the next hour would just be cold chat. No, I'm not investing in this cold company.

You're not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. This is like the story I heard about you on radio once where you were talking about a man pretending to be Santa. Yes. And then you had to come back on after the song and be like, now all the kids listening, Uncle Husey was just being silly. Yeah, absolutely.

Santa is real. It's not a man pretending to be real. That's the number one rule on radio, isn't it? Santa's real. Or TV. I know that Kitty Flanagan got in big trouble on the project once. She did a joke about Santa not being real and it was like, it was meltdown.

She had to apologize. I would love to get in trouble from parents for just this riff and be like, why are you listening to the Dundun Club with your parents in the car? Why are you playing this to your kid at 8.30 at night trying to make her go to sleep? I don't know where her hand comes from. What's that guy doing?

The point of my little story then was on the way here, I drove past a protest which was happening outside a Labor minister or a Labor member of Parliament's office in St. Kilda. And there was a protest, like a coal is bad protest out the front. And there was like 15 people of all ages. And I literally nearly wound down my window and yelled, are you all vegan? Yeah.

Great. Now that would get you in the Daily Mail. Fucking go home. And if you're not, fucking go home. Be the change you want, you assholes. You bacon-eating assholes. You would be annoyed if you didn't get in the paper. You'd be hoping that at least one person there went, was that easy? Yeah, yeah.

That was fucking easy to just yell at us. Greta Thunberg, she doesn't fly. She's like really, if you're anyone's extreme, it's Greta. She doesn't fly She's like really If you're anyone's extreme It's Greta She doesn't fly at all So when she has to like Go international She's on a boat

She's on a boat Damn it I know I mean that is What you want to hear You know Well she couldn't afford To have people be

People just want blood Yeah exactly She has to do it Yeah It's very easy to Yeah with you know With Leo DiCaprio banging on about it when he's worth a billion dollars.

Anyone banging on about social justice who's worth a billion dollars, like, I don't know. People just want to find a chink in the armour. Just finding it, catching Hughie eating a chicken crimpy shape and being like, the main ingredient in this is chicken, you hypocrite. And Santa's not real. Chicken salt doesn't have chicken in it, though, I don't believe. No, it doesn't.

No, chicken salt has got no... It'd be fucking pretty hard to jam meat into salt. Yeah, but I mean, it could have this. Isn't it just stock? I thought it was just chicken stock. Well, I think, like my friends... Has chicken stock got chicken in it? Yeah.

No, well, chicken salt's not that then. Chicken salt doesn't have salt in it. I don't believe. Chicken salt doesn't got chicken in it Yeah No well chicken salt's not that then Chicken salt Okay Chicken salt doesn't have salt in it I don't believe Chicken salt doesn't have salt Chicken salt doesn't have chicken in it No chicken salt has salt in it Yeah yeah

Fucking hell This is hard This is hard work Salt's terrible for you though isn't it You know salt's terrible for you But you also have to have it Or you'll die Yeah fuck

So what do you do You cannot win I love salt I love it Have it on everything It's the knife's edge. Friends of mine are pretty committed vegetarians. And yeah,

the main ingredient listed on the back of chicken crimpy shapes is chicken, which I know because like every now and then, if we're at like a party or camping or whatever, it's like their little, oh, we're being terribly naughty. Having this chicken crimpy shape. They sound like the worst people.

Yeah. It's like, well, you're breaking it for that. Just have a sausage and bread. Yeah, look. Just because it's powder. Have some veal. Have some veal. Bron, I love this at the moment.

I've been talking to you about this for a while. Your husband is normalizing a thing that I do, and I'm loving it. Now, for his birthday, what did you allow him to do for his birthday? There's no such thing as allow. He's a grown man. He went to Europe for a month. Yes. A month.

But where did he go in Europe though? Ibiza. Ibiza. Wow. Yeah. All of a sudden. Because he's the first person ever to turn 40. It's pretty cool.

I just love it because all of a sudden me going to thailand every three weeks looks pretty good your husband you let your husband go to ibiza for a month yeah yeah it's so good well look i travel a bit for comedy and so it means that he has to be home with the three kids um a lot and then he said oh and he loves traveling. I couldn't give a shit about it, but he loves it. So when he was going to turn 40, he was like, what I'd love the most in the world, like a little orphan, I'd love the most in the world is to go away.

And I was like, okay, we'll just do it. Just go away. Just leave Swan Hill, not like taking drugs with 20-year-olds on the beach. So he was in Ibiza the whole time? No, he went to Poland. He dropped into Ibiza. He hasn't had a month in residency in a nightclub. And he's Polish, right?

He's Polish, yeah. So he's seeing family in Poland? Yeah, he's an ancient grandma. But he loves it. I mean, he wasn't like doing any work for anyone. He wasn't like ploughing the fields. Yeah. So where was...

I am fascinated by this as well. But I love it because it's like initially you told me he's just going to Ibiza. I'm like, great. Because even when I do my bullshit... You mean mostly Ibiza. Yeah. He was mostly Ibiza.

And then he just went over to Scandinavian countries and spent so much money in Copenhagen, just like a little milkshake. I mean, I don't doubt that's what he was drinking, but it cost like $30. And he was like, it's crazy. I was like, is it? Yeah, wow. Can you stop it?

Yeah. Just have a water. Because you've got the joint account and you're just seeing those milkshakes rolling. I didn't even look at it. So who did he go with? By himself. He met some friends in Ibiza. One of our friends, she's a DJ, so

she was over there and just had lots of... I love it. I love it because at least when I do my bullshit, I can go, Thailand is the culture and it's the weather and it's whatever. When you go to Ibiza, there's only one reason to go to Ibiza. So he's clubbing. Yeah, he loves it. Who's your friend?

Fat girl Slim. So you'll club every, will you like five o'clock in the morning clubbing sort of thing? Yeah, he would be, I wasn't there with him, but I assume if he was there, he would have been getting home. You haven't talked to him about it? It'd be the same thing. He'd just be coming home at daylight. You're not noticing the time difference because he's just not going to sleep.

How are you? Are you like you? Is it, you know, do you like, does he have to check in? No. No, he's like, is there full trust in the relationship? Yeah. What's he going to do? Do I have his?

He could have sex with a 25-year-old. I do, yeah. He could. Any of us could do that. He couldyear-old. I do, yeah. He could. Any of us could do that. He could do that here. I mean, whatever. He's allowed to do it as well. No, we'll be together forever.

As long as it's at a club, he can do whatever he wants here. No, I'm not a very jealous person. Yeah, good. That's great. But what if you found out he had done something? No, he wouldn't. But what if he did? It's impossible getting deep But what if you found out He had done something No he wouldn't But what if he did It's impossible

It's impossible It's impossible And also people make mistakes Yeah And they'll be fine And they just get on with it Yeah great Wow

So what if he got on the Ekkies And just pashed some chick at a club Oh he's just a pash I mean he's not He would never do it He would Like he would never ever do it But

In some weird alternate reality, he did have a patch with a 25-year-old on the dance floor. We'd just get on with it. Fuck. I hope he's listening to this. Fuck, she signed off on this. Nice. I thought you were a good, successful comedian.

You're too mentally well-adjusted. Get out. You're not allowed to patch. Who cares? Good. Absolutely. I mean, let's live in the moment. Pash, who cares? Yeah, good. Absolutely. I mean, let's live in the moment. I'm all for it.

Yeah, absolutely. Oh, no. I'm just not. I've just never been a jealous person. Hang on, what if you're Mrs. Pash Summer on the dance floor? I don't know. I don't know. I feel like.

What if it was me? Well, I think you deserve it after what you've been through in your life. We were talking about me having cancer off air. Husey wasn't just talking about Dastlo's career. Broadly, just generally speaking. Yeah, it was your childhood. What you survived. Well, that was my wake-a-wish.

I want to root Husey's wife. They vetoed it. I don't know if this made it across your desk back in the day. I wake a wish. I want to root Hugh's wife and they vetoed it. I don't know if this made it across your desk back in the day. Yeah, no,

absolutely. I saw you do the snakes alive bit and I was like, I bet he's got a hot life. I'll go back to my wife. One of my wife's best friends loves this podcast.

Oh, really? My wife doesn't listen to any podcasts so I don't think about that but she loves it so this will go back to her. Great.

But you can't imagine it though, Hughsy, because it's so far out of reality. For me it is, yeah. Because your wife doesn't even go out to clubs or anything like that. She's never loved it. She's not someone who ever wants to go to clubs. Try to get her to Richard Branson's, you know,

that virgin fucking cruise. I don't know. He's doing a cruise ship. He's on the ships now. He's on the ships, so they're adults only cruise ships. And there was a party the other day on Sunday in Melbourne where you get to go on the cruise ship and have a party. And a friend of ours is the PR guy for it. And so he's texting me, you've got to come along.

You've got to come along. And my wife just could not give a fuck. I'm like, she just doesn't care. I mean, you get to meet Rich. My wife met Richard Branson. This is a true story. I don't know if I've told you this, but we were at the tennis once years ago. It was at the Australian Open.

Luckily got into the Australian Open club where you get to have dinner beforehand. Oh, yeah. I'm sitting at dinner with my wife, just the two of us on a table, just having dinner. Yeah. Richard Branson fucking comes from nowhere, walks up to our table and says to my wife, who at the time would have probably been, you know, 26 maybe. I don't know.

She's now in her 40s, but whatever. It was over 15 years ago at least. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Whatever. We know how time works. Yes. But he walked up to her.

Richard fucking Branson walks up to my wife, doesn't say anything to me, and goes to my wife, you've got great posture. What the fuck? We're having fucking dinner. Interesting. Yeah, I like it. And then she goes, thank you. It's a weird thing to say.

It was weird. And then I'm like, well, I said, and I think we'd interviewed him once on the radio. I said, oh, yeah, I've met you on the radio. And he goes, oh, you're a producer, are you? I get fucked, mate. Yeah. It is funny that he came out here to promo a boat.

Yeah. Like, he's just out here to do, you know, I saw the video of, like, advertising the thing, and it's like, well, Branson has to be here. It's like, why? Well, you know you're safe because your wife's not into, you know, older rich guys or anything like that. She could have

upgraded that day real quick real quick you're just like I gotta work on my posture I gotta start doing pilates I'm getting killed out here yeah I drove past

that boat the other day it's a big boat it's a big boat yeah I was going for a jog actually on Sunday and I looked up and saw the boat

and said fuck we're meant to be on that boat but we weren't because my wife had to organize a grade six fucking she's a teacher so she was organizing her like the photos at the end of their graduation where you get every kid in the photo oh yeah and you had to make sure that that's what she had to do every kid got in the photo enough yeah yeah right great great hey mates it's Tommy and Carl hosts of the little Little Dumb Dumb Club.

We were sitting here talking about it and then Carl's phone started ringing and we could see your name on the screen. And it was like in Jurassic Park, the glass of water just shaking. It was like, oh, God, don't answer it.

We don't know if he's going to be mad or not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I started to shit my pants. I'm like, QZ's going to yell at me. I get over things, but I was mad. But anyway, that was a con job. But anyway, I had to explain that to my parents. You could have won.

To my mum. Yeah. I could have won. I should have won. Anyway, so. Nick Capple won, but that was just the sympathy vote because he'd had cancer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like when your wife kissed Tommy.

Yeah, exactly. The same sort of thing. But yeah, so the icon, I mean, Rolling Stone did a 50 icons, all right? So you know what? I first saw the magazine at the fucking business lounge at the Sydney airport. And I saw the cover, 50 icons, and I was instantly enraged. Thinking I fucking won't be in there. Fucking bullshit.

Oh, you didn't even know you were in it. No, I didn't know. I didn't know. I could have got that magazine for free at the fucking airport. But I was so enraged that I thought there's going to be people you were in it. No, I didn't know. I could have got that magazine for free at the fucking airport, but I was so enraged that I thought there's going to be people I know and it's going to shit me. What does it say about your psychology that you see the name of it, the name of it on the cover, you don't even have the evidence

you're not in it and you immediately get mad? What does that say about you? You're a fucking loser. Who would be, if you hadn't have been in there, who would have been the worst person you could have seen? I'm not going to slag anyone off. This could be reported. This is the shit they report.

It's in the Daily Mail. That's why we're asking. Not just smoking meth, slagging off another fucking celebrity. It's stuff as well. It's like icons's like icons no no no no it's people it's just people you're in as one person i got the yeah you're right i got the list here i got the list here would you like to hear some of the people before you say that guys i swear to god this is that was a week or so ago two two weeks ago yeah on the way here i was um at it there's no fucking there's no news agents around anymore no newsagents around anymore. No. They're almost all gone.

But I happened to see a newsagent, walk past the newsagent, fuck, I'm going to go in there. Yes. And I went in there and I said to the woman behind the counter, have you got the Rolling Stone magazine? She said, no, we don't. I thought, that's weird. Turned around, there it was.

Great. That's why there's no newsagents at all. I bought the magazine, $22.50. What? You got it for free? And it's in my car. And I thought about bringing it in here today. But I thought that would make me be a complete wanker.

So it's still in my car. So hang on. $22.50? For a fucking Rolling Stone magazine. You got it for free because you said to the... No, no, no. He said he could have got it for free. Oh, you could have.

Sorry, sorry. At the airport. When I got angry. Dave Hughes. That's when I got angry. Sorry, sorry. Dave Hughes is trying to make a point. Multi-millionaire Dave Hughes could have got a magazine for free, but he didn't. At the airport.

At the airport. Yes. But I didn't. It was probably the price of... It was in the business lounge. But it's $22.50. Yes. But so, yes.

Anyway, so I'm in there. You're in there. You're in there. Now, there's a lot of... You get a whole page, by the way, I just realised. It's not like a list of... The whole magazine is icons. So you get a whole page. Oh, it's one of those special It's not like a list of... The whole magazine is icons. So you get a whole page.

It's one of those special edition kind of things. It's a special edition. So I'm a whole page of the Rolling Stone. And it's a right-hand page. Oh, beautiful. Not the weak left-hand page. Is it alphabetical? So you're in the front half of it as well?

I don't know if it's alphabetical. Some good real estate? I don't think it's alphabetical. So it's not ranked from figure one? I don't think it's alphabetical. So it's not ranked from 50 to 1? I don't think it's ranked. No, it's not ranked. But on the online, people were saying I was ninth. No.

No, I wasn't. I know that. But online, that was listed in alphabetical. You know where you were ninth? Alphabetical. Yeah, I know. I know. But at the time, for one second, I thought I was listed as ninth.

So if it was ranked, how far down in the 50 would you have to be to get mad about it? Oh, yeah. If you came in at 50, would that annoy you because you'd be like, I only just scraped in here. I've taken a lot of ego blows in my life. I'd be happy to be 50. I'd think, fuck, I've just made it. And I'd be happy with that.

Well, what about this? Because the top 50, I don't like it, they've stretched themselves over New Zealand as well. They could have just done Australia. People are complaining about that. But the magazine is Rolling Stone Australia and New Zealand. So I think there's one magazine for both countries. But we're, yeah, there is.

Which I didn't realise, but there is. Yeah, there is. And we're carrying a lot of the, I don't know, anyway. I think they've got a lot, they've got more in it than. They've got a lot. For their population, they're carrying a lot of the, I don't know, anyway. I think they've got a lot. They've got more in it than. They've got a lot. For their population, they're way over. Per capita. They got to 47 and they wanted to be able to put in Rusty, Crowded House and Far Lap, right?

There's a lot of New Zealand born people in there. A lot of New Zealand people. Not that I haven't counted them all up. No, I haven't, but I know of some of them. I could have been higher up, alphabetically. Yes. You know, Sam Neill went on Instagram and he promoted the fact that he was in it. And I wanted to send him a message.

I made it too, Sam. Yeah. But I didn't. Yeah. Well, look, let's go through a little bit of it. We'll find out the fellow comedians, I guess, in there. So you're rubbing shoulders with Carl Barron. Yeah.

Very, very fair enough. Yeah, absolutely. Hamish and Andy Only get one Between the two They get a joint Yeah I was happy with that

Wow They only get half each Yeah Well you can't You can't just put Hamish in You know You feel bad about it Well you absolutely can

And probably should Oh Here we go Really At Daily Mail No I'm twice a really nice guy Do you want to go on The 100 or not?

Do you want to go on The 100? Have you been on The 100? No. Have you been on The 100? No. She's on the one that people watch. Oh, I don't think that is. Across the media.

That show's going okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Mr. Nandy. Yes. Flight of the Conchords. I don't want to cover the New Zealand people Jim Jefferies yeah

he contacted me on via Instagram did he saying because I put I had no idea this early I just put it on

that I was in there on my Instagram because I know that people brag on Instagram and I get so angry when everyone Instagram I just get angry

all the time I can see that no but like everyone's success just fucking shits me so and it's Instagram mainly is people's success, isn't it? Yeah.

That's why it exists. Fucking Ronnie Ching. I've got to stop following him. I've got to stop following him. Sick to fucking death of seeing him with Jerry Seinfeld. What about his complaints about Australia and Singapore, though? You don't get to hear about them if you unfollow him. No, I don't want to hear him complaining.

Ronnie, don't complain. It could be Dave O'Neill where every, I don't want to hear him complaining. It could be worse. It could be Dave O'Neill where every time you post anything, Ronnie comments going, wow, cool man, well done. That is a weird grudge for him to hold. Yes. I say to Dave, what the fuck is going on here? He's got a bee in his bonnet about Dave O'Neill. What the fuck is Ronnie Chang complaining about Dave O'Neill?

That is so... That is weird. I know, but Dave can get antsy online, so he can... Do you know, we literally talked about this about six months ago on this show, but do you know why he's got a grudge against Dave O'Neill? Yeah, it's because of the ABC thing. Yes, but particularly because he kept going on about the ABC. It's all old white man, old white man, old white, and behind the scenes or whatever.

And then O'Neill posted the board of Netflix, and it was all white men. No, Comedy Central. Oh, Comedy Central? It was all white men. It was all white guys, yeah. So he pointed out hypocrisy. Yeah, yeah. And again,

again, it's, yeah, anyway. Funny. But for him to keep hold of that is quite bizarre. Yeah. But anyway, good luck to him. Well, he's not on the

Rolling Stone list, is he? That's well, is he? Well, fuck, he's not. Is he? Maybe he's not. He's not. Oh, there you go. He's not.

So you should be expecting a comment under your photo saying, wow, cool man. Well done. Yeah. Wow, amazing. Yeah, go. She's not. So you should be expecting a comment under your photo. Wow, cool man. Well done. Wow, amazing. Rebel Wilson. Rebel Wilson makes the icon list.

She's internationally famous. That's why me getting in there is unusual. One of the few Fat Peter nominees in the list, I believe. Fucking Rebel's career just fucking took off. Jesus. She's gone now, right like she's not in australia at all she came over and did that she's back here now no she's you know i actually was uh at imax in sydney which just opened again which is lovely if you get to imax in sydney or there anyway it's a new building on the uh right on darling harbour and the publicity person was

taking me through save the plugs for the end thanks publicity person taking me through she was sitting here and this is how the movie

goes and I said oh that's a movie screen that's good it's interesting and anyway and then she's talking about her sister and I said who's

your sister and she said her sister's Rebel Wilson wow Liberty Wilson is her sister wow

lovely person Liberty and Liberty said that Rebel right now is a few weeks ago I was talking about, is filming a – she's directing a movie in Australia. Okay. Yeah. So wait, her sister works at IMAX. What works at IMAX? They're both in the movies.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. You know what? She actually said that her and rebel used to work at a cinema together like you know ushering yeah yeah now you know rebels like an icon and also hollywood superstar yeah but yeah anyway so i know what the point of that was i remember watching uh last one laughing and i loved watching that did you love it i haven't seen it I really you haven't seen it of all people I know I heard they got antsy

yeah a lot of drama behind the scenes yeah that's what makes it such a good watch well good I mean you know what

it's probably I can watch it now it was an Amazon Amazon show where that was like Big Brother but for comedians and they stuck them

all in a room could you see that people were tense or not could you see that it was yeah not as much

as the stories we heard yeah it actually they from hearing about it to then watching it they actually cut it up see that it was yeah not as much as the stories we heard yeah it actually they from hearing about it to then watching it they actually cut it up well and it was like it was a good watch

yeah so it's comedians in a house and you have to not laugh and if you're the last one left who has not laughed you get a big amount of money

I should have seen it why would you not have watched it was it only locked down it's on fucking Amazon I've got a show on Amazon he's just spent $22.50 on a magazine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, fuck, I'll keep that magazine.

I'm trying to get my children to respect me. Yeah, yeah. So Rebel Wilson from Fat Pizza. Where does Sleek the Elite come in? No, it doesn't get a mention. Damn. The other comedian in the list, Chris Lilley. Okay.

An icon of Australia still. An icon of Australia. That's going to upset people. And so the Jackson Jive also in there? Yeah, it's an interesting call. I would have thought in this current climate that he would have held on to that status. Yeah, interesting.

Look, everyone, I mean, it's just, you know, there's no, anyway. Now that I'm going to hypothesise here, you don't have to answer one way or the other. That is one that would make you mad if you weren't in the list. Oh, yes. If he was in it and you weren't. Chris Lilley. Yeah.

No, I would accept my fate. I would go. Your fate is a non-icon. You would think, I've got to start blacking up for when they do another one of these. I'd accept that life isn't fair. Your new character, Dave Nguyen. But Chris Lilley, again.

Why are people so unkind? People know him overseas. They know him fucking, you know. I ended up on stage in L.A. last December because of Chris Lilley. Oh, really? Why? Weird story. I went on a holiday to L.A.

and I didn't book any little gigs over there because i don't know i didn't whatever i wanted to relax but then i'm feeling guilty about not doing it you know i mean you're in la fucking get on stage you should get on stage yep and so i then i get a mess a random message from a comedian la comedian who i'd never heard well you know anyway i didn't, I hadn't heard of him. He said, I hear you're in L.A. Do you want to do gigs? I'm like, how the fuck do you hear I was in L.A.? I'd never even posted it.

And who the fuck are you? And then eventually I found out the story was he was at a gym, this guy, and then Andy Liu, do you know Andy Liu? Anyway, she's an Australian woman who has done a bit of TV and now lives in LA. She was at the gym. He heard her accent and he said to her, do you know Chris Lilley? So this American comedian said, do you know Chris Lilley?

And she said, yeah, I know Chris Lilley. I know of Chris Lilley. And then she said to him, do you know Dave Hughes? And he goes, no. And she goes, he's's very funny So then he fucking He contacts me And none of those people Knew I was in LA

At the time Right But initially I didn't know I was in LA And then he said He just contacted me And then he said Do you ever get to LA actually

And I said I'm in LA right now That's weird Oh wow Then he Got me some gigs At the Flappers Comedy Club Oh yeah

In Burbank Yeah And then I ended up At Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank. And then I ended up at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank and did about five gigs there and fucking loved it. That's so nice of Louis C.K. to do that for you. Anyway, that's through Chris Lillard. Yeah, right. And how'd the gigs go? Good, yes.

And it made me think I should be living in America and maybe I could become an icon there. Did you do Snakes Alive? I didn't do Snakes Al maybe I could become an icon there. Did you do Snakes Alive? I didn't do Snakes Alive. Oh, damn. Fuck, do they have Snakes Alive? They don't. No, Snakes Alive.

Bron's not the joke. She don't know. Bron's new to the scene. I'm new. What I want to know is, is Chris Lilley still doing anything or has he just stopped? He's on a bit of a break.

No, he might have some stuff on the boil, you'd assume. He would be, I don't know. I imagine he might be. Good question. Because I mean, he got in trouble years ago when people went, oh, wait on,

we probably should be laughing at this. Yeah. And then he, but Netflix were like, oh, fine, we'll take him off. But then they just put him

to the, it's still absolutely on. Sneaking it back in. But hey, he's absolutely still there. He's made it to the Rolling Stone icons list. How incredible.

If you can watch Netflix, there's no, there's no line, the Rolling Stone icons list. How incredible. But also, if you watch Netflix, there's no line. Netflix have no line anymore. Everything's on Netflix. Some of the most popular stand-up acts in the world are doing stuff that you'd think would get them cancelled. They're using terms. So Netflix has absolutely thrown away any rule book on what is public tax. They have completely thrown it away.

Chris Lilley, Ivan Malek's on here as well. Yeah, they're not too fussy, actually. Well, they made a couple of movies about him. He's famous. That's an icon. He looks pretty iconic. Yeah, people like Ricky Gervais stuff, they say stuff that's meant to get them cancelled,

and it's like they're doing jokes that kids used to do in primary school, racist jokes, and he's doing that as his act. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's his act. His act is doing racist jokes from primary school kids. Ricky Gervais is a non-stand-up comedian doing stand-up comedy. A lot of it is just jokes that you should – Old jokes.

I used to say in the 70s, and you think if I said it today, I would get cancelled. He's now doing them as he's at but it's like yeah Netflix dug their heels in with the Dave Chappelle stuff and then they went well now let's just hit the NOS boosters and just like that guy that new guy who says he's too attractive to be a stand up comedian oh yeah yeah

there's a lot of that stuff going but that's what gets them attention it's those jokes that they shouldn't do they're doing because whether they just want attention or they can't think of any other jokes and they're getting news stories about it getting more people watching their fucking series. So it's actually

working. Yeah I'd never heard of him until he made the news and I reckon everyone would have gone to watch his show. But then they'd click in and his numbers would have gone up. Yeah. So we're paving the way for Blue Husey here. What's right? Say whatever you to start to really push the envelope. Bluezy. Say whatever you want.

So he's a contentious one maybe on the list, but yeah, there's a couple more fellow comedians. Hannah Gadsby? Yep. Internationally renowned comedian. Well, I was watching Kevin Hart's bloody... Have you seen his bloody... He's not Australian. I know, bloody have you seen his he's not Australian

I know but have you seen his Netflix series I haven't no anyway it's great it's

the doco about him yeah six part series it rules I love it it's crazy why'd you bring him up he's now a billionaire

why'd you bring him up because Hannah Gadsby is in the doco is she and you know the funny thing is if any comedy nerds will know that Dave Ch? Because Hannah Gadsby's in the doco. Is she? And you know, the funny thing is that if any comedy nerds will know that Dave Chappelle and Hannah Gadsby had a like a, you know, they had their...

A little, not disagreement, some sort of... Because Dave Chappelle has done stuff about trans jokes on his special. She said that's not good enough. You shouldn't do that, basically. And he's basically said, well, you're not funny. Yeah, that's right. not good enough, you shouldn't do that, basically. And he basically said, well, you're not funny.

Yeah, that's right. But in the Kevin Hart series, there's Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle coming up to Hannah Gadsby at Montreal telling her how much they love her. And this was before the, you know, anyway. It rules so much. It's a documentary about Kevin Hart and what a great guy Kevin Hart is, produced by Kevin Hart. Like, literally, there's a bit where it's like a friend of his talking to a camera being like,

Kevin's just the best man. No one works harder than Kevin. And literally, he's saying that just underneath, produced by Kevin Hart. This is psycho. Just someone sitting down with a camera and being like, now talk about how great I am. Yeah.

Me and you went and saw him live. One of the worst shows I've ever seen in my life. Really? Yeah. It was terrible. Was he just unprepared or was he just lazy? No, no, no.

Just no good. And he had six support acts and they were all terrible. Oh, yeah. Those guys. The plastic cup boys. The plastic cup boys who he flies around the world.

They're all in the doco. In the doco. Yeah. They walk out to the car park and there's just all these old vintage cars and he's just given them all one each.

Wow. Like they are just hanging off his every word and dealing with his bullshit. Yes. Constantly. It's awesome because it's like the trajectory of the doco is it's like when he gets done for cheating and there's all the stuff with like him hosting the, he's meant to host the Oscars and then they find those old tweets and he won't apologize for them. And it's just like, he really gets dragged through the mud. And then the last shot of it is like, you them and it's just like he really gets dragged

through the mud and then the last shot of it is like you know it's six months later and his boy's walking out into the car park and he's bought them all a car

the end what a great guy let's go to Ibiza for a month baby he's also I just read that he's a billionaire now yeah yeah

he's a fucking billionaire yeah I did like that I mean I know this is I know this is sort of how it should work and everything, but I did find it funny when we saw him live.

He had these six support acts or whatever it was, the plastic fucking bucket boys or whatever they're called. It's a fucking horror show. What do you mean? When you say six support acts, is this a six people act? He's got his crew. No, no, one after the other. They all get to perform.

Wherever he goes, apparently, they all have to perform. I think these are the only gigs that they ever do before opening for him in stadiums. We're talking 30,000 seats at a stadium. At least three. We're talking massive stadiums. No, they don't crash. They're terrible. At least 50%.

But the crowd don't even know or care. Yeah. At least 50% of the plastic cup boys, the plastic cup boys, had a routine where the premise was, yeah, I'm about to have a kid and I keep thinking to myself, what would I ever do if my son came to me and told me he was gay? Yeah. Hilarious.

At least groundbreaking. But also, why would Kevin have six acts who have lived the same life as him before he goes on? Why have all these other guys who've got a similar experience to you in growing up at least before you fucking go on? They're all so petrified of having a gay son. Just leave one or two of them off. The bit in the doco where I think they're in Paris and they go shopping at Louis Vuitton. They all go to buy expensive Louis Vuitton outfits to wear on stage that night.

It's crazy. And they just all come out looking ridiculous. But also no one cares. The crowd couldn't give a fuck. They're not even laughing most of the time. What I liked when we saw them, when we saw them, and I know this is how it has to work and showbiz works or whatever, but I'm positive that some stage Kevin has sat there and ranked the six fucking plastic bucket boys.

Oh, who's closing of the plastic cup boys. They literally have to go. Or Perry, this one in the middle. No, no, I don't think so. It was like the shittest one first and they just gradually turned up the volume. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoever was on first was like, you're the shittest fucking blue bucket boy or whatever. But again, he comes to Australia and does stadiums.

Yes. We were in a stadium. And the crowd go in and they go out. None the wiser. They wouldn't have any fucking idea about comedy. Yeah, absolutely. We were in a stadium. And the crowd go in and they go out, none the wiser. They wouldn't have any fucking idea about comedy. Yeah, absolutely. And they think that's comedy. And they can all get fucked.

If you had to have some tightness. It was the worst because we were in a- I can't see those shows. I can't go. No, we were in a tennis center. Me and Deslo literally went there because we thought we could get on the piss and just drink up the back and like- We were invited to be in like the box.

No, I get it. Oh, so you didn't pay for tickets no no and make snide comments in a super box and then we get there and they like open all the windows up

and like we're part of the crowd and we're next to like the head of the comedy festival and all this stuff and we're like ah fuck we just have to shut up

and watch comedy now this sucks damn it and also I was actually talking about this show the other day because he had this big screen behind him

where he had these like little animated backdrops this is Kevin Hart of like stuff was actually talking about this show the other day because he had this big screen behind him where he had these little animated backdrops, this is Kevin Hart, of stuff he was talking about in his story. And at one part he's doing a routine about going out down his driveway to put the bins out. And it's just an animated backdrop of a driveway with a bin on it. And it's like, this does not need to be so embarrassing. Not only that, it was mostly just black because Dave was saying, I was out at night.

And I was like, okay, so that's what night looks like. A black screen. It just sounds like he's trying to give every single one of his friends that he's ever met a job. You know, like he's like, I went to, she was my mate in year two. All right, you can do the backdrop. Yeah, which will, so we've always mocked that of like, yeah, great. The backdrop of a driveway. And then I taped my special the other week and I had this huge screen behind me

and I thought it would be cool to have like illustrated things of, you know, what's going on in the story. And then I'm up there doing stand-up in front of a big illustrated backdrop of a chemist. I was like, yeah, all right, I'm no better. No, that's true. But Hughsey with his plastic bucket boys, that'd be good. Who would be the six Hughsy's plastic bucket boys?

I can't tell you the six plastic bucket boys. There's people in my past who didn't stick at comedy and maybe do a comedy gig every now and again. Right, so you bring them back? I think you've got to bring them back. You've got to be loyal. Just get them fucking work. Dave O'Neill, you'd like to think he's getting them.

No, he's got enough work, basically. I'm talking guys who don enough work basically I'm talking guys who don't work I'm talking guys from my past who no but O'Neill would still be asking for it

he'd want to be number one bucket boy I reckon he takes all the gigs he can get no I get that absolutely but yeah no

he's not on any room for us in Hugh's plastic bucket boys you can't have the same act as me and you can't have a similar life to me so that's like you've got to have your and you can't have a similar life to me so that's like

you've got to have your own hang on do we have a similar life to you how do we have a similar life to you i i don't want you banging on about your kids what if i get up and i really bring the mood down by talking about my childhood cancer actually we're gonna have 10 minutes to really depress people so then they're really pumped up when you do that you get a game of snakes alive fuck i wish i had cancer now i'd get a kid yeah snakes alive. Fuck I wish I had cancer now. I'd get a gig. Yeah, exactly. I'm still impressed

with your childhood cancer. Impressed? No, impressed. Thrilled? I'm not thrilled but I'm like he's been excited. Yeah, it is.

Yeah, it's very interesting. I was in an ice bath the other day and I survived it. Oh yeah, same thing. I was on the ventilator I did think thank fuck I'm not Wim Hof

I'd kill myself at least I'm warm I'm a bit too warm I've got a fever so Bron Bron's in with his plastic bucket boys that's great I've got to be in

fucking Tommy Little's bucket boys or something yeah exactly you want your axe not to be living your life so that's my thing well Hannah Gadsby Hannah Gadsby's on the list she's an icon of Australia boys or something. Yeah, exactly. You want your ex not to be living your life. So that's my thing.

Well, Hannah Gadsby's on the list. She's an icon of Australia. Julia Morris is an icon of Australia. Oh, wow. She's lovely. I love her. I love her. I love her. She's great.

I need that to be very clear. I love Julia Morris. I think she's excellent. You guys can all be clear on that fact. I'm very clear on that. I love her so much I think she's excellent. You guys can all be clear on that fact. I'm very clear on that. I love her so much. She's great. She's working with bloody Bob Irwin.

Yeah. I saw her recently and she goes, I said, who are you doing? I'm a celebrity. Get me out of here because the vet's fucked off. She said, you won't guess. And I said, she said, you won't guess. And I said, well. Kevin Hart. And I said, she said, you won't guess. And I said, well. Kevin Hart.

Now that would be good. I said, all right, I won't guess. Who is it? And she said, Bob Irwin. I said, it was in the fucking press. I mean, I would have guessed. Kevin Hart hosting I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. And then all six of the Plastic Cup boys are in the juggle.

Who are they? Wow. So the person who manages Julia Morris also got us those free tickets to Kevin Hart. So this is a rough 20-minute listen for her. No, but Kevin Hart actually did it. Last time he was in Australia, he was doing interviews and he just kept looking at his fucking phone.

He wouldn't even look up. Like, what the fuck? He's texting his six friends. What were you putting your massage on? I found out afterwards that he was just playing online poker. Okay, I respect that. He's doing fucking radio interviews while he's playing online poker. You can get fucked.

I actually prefer that. He doesn't care. He couldn't give a fucking damn. Why do we interview him then? Fuck. What's the point? Were you interviewing him for that dog movie with Will Ferrell? No, it was before that.

I think it was a movie with Tiffany Haddish. Oh, yeah, okay. Which I never saw, but Night School. It was on the doco. It was on the doco, yeah, right. But apparently got terrible reviews, but at the end of it, it made $120 million. So you were interviewing him about that movie that you'd never seen

and you were wondering why he was distracted. He was like, fuck, he's not seen it. I'm just going to play my phone. But we're both at fault. Yeah, fuck, he's not saying it. I'm just going to play my phone. But we're both at fault. Yeah, sounds like the shittest interview ever. Neither of us wanted to be there. Yeah, yeah.

I remember once I was in Montreal and Kevin Hart had a comedy night for fucking, I don't know, he's like Kevin Hart's comp. Yeah, he's got his channel or whatever. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it was filmed and he was filming it and then Kevin Hart was going to be there. And so Kevin turned up with all these fucking plastic cup boys. Like, fuck, I've got to get in front of Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart likes me.

And then it'll all work out. And by the time I got on, he'd fucking left. I was like, Kevin's not there. Only one plastic cup boy left in the room as well. That's what happens every time I gig with you, Husey, is that because you'll often, like, if you do a drop in, you'll do – And I've got a family. You have to go.

But there'll be people, like newer comedians will be on the bill who've never gigged with you before and they'll be like, Husey's here. Oh, my God. And then you'll do your set and leave and they are like, is he gone? And I'm like, yeah, he didn't want to see you. Now, I do feel bad for that but when you've got

a family you can't be there all night you're our Kevin Hart not just when you've got a family you should stick around and watch everyone

if I do watch I always compliment people though always you are up at four o'clock in the morning doing breakfast right you can't stick around

that's fine you're an icon you don't have to stick around that four o'clock in the morning doing breakfast right yeah that's fine you're an icon you don't have to stick around once you're an anointed icon you don't have to stick around

you're up there with Julia Morris you're a big deal now I don't want Kevin Hart to listen to this well I do that'd be awesome

what if we did what if we did What if we did Plastic Cup Boy Month On this pod We have two of them on a week Culminating in having Kevin Hart on the show Part of the doco

The Kevin Hart doco Was him saying That he always gets Terrible reviews Yeah Always gets And he doesn't care Because people

Because his audience Love him Yeah You know what More power to you Kev I think Keep this bit in More power to you Kev Yeah yeah Fucking good on Keep this bit in. More power to you, Kev.

Yeah, yeah. Fucking good on you. I think we're taking it out. Send it to them. It's 90% of the F. We can't take it out. We have nothing else. I think one of the Plastic Bucket Boys hit me up on Instagram for a gig.

No. For fuck's sake. I think so. I think I didn't see it until the day later. Oh, my God. I was like, I don't know. I'm really worried about my Kevin Hart right now. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. But until the day later. Oh, my God. I was like, I don't care. I'm really worried about my Kevin Hart rant. I'm so sorry, I've gone so far, but I have to know.

No, why are they called that? Well, Kevin Hart was in Australia. The only thing that can happen, which to be fair might happen, all that Kevin Hart can do is buy your radio station and boot you off it. Yeah, right. He can't touch you otherwise. What's he going to do? Look, someone in Australian comedy said they were with Kevin Hart

and Kevin Hart asked them who's funny in Australia and this guy said me, apparently. Wow. Kevin Hart had never heard of me and as far as I know, he didn't look me up afterwards either. But maybe he'll remember that one day. But what's he going to give you? What's he going to get you?

Could I be a plastic cup boy? I'd fucking love to be a plastic cup boy. What else do you want? I want to be a plastic cup boy. You'll be the number one. I want to be on those. I want to walk out to fucking 30,000 people. Yeah, being a Rolling Stone icon

is, that's impressive. But I tell you what's really impressive. Being the first ever white plastic cut board. Can he have a white, I think from Australia,

he can have an Australian plastic cut board. An Aussie plastic cut board, yeah. Like, you know how they have different coloured wiggles. You can be a different

coloured plastic cut board. Oh my gosh. An Australian NBA player told me that, I said, he said, what's it like in America? He said,

like he said, the African American players don't like the white American players. Oh, right. They don't like them. So you think you'd be ostracised by the other

plastic couple. But he said, but this Australian NBA player said, but they don't mind overseas white guys. Oh, I see. So maybe that can work with comedy as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because overseas white people don't count. What's their view on Chris Lilley then? What's that? What's their view on Chris Lilley? It's a real brown area. So why are they called plastic cupboards? Hey, all yellow area.

This is strange and everything. Why are they called plastic cupboards? Why are they called plastic cup boys? Hey, all yellow area. This is strange and everything. Why are they called plastic cup boys? Why are they called that? I assume it's like a college, you know, like being at a house party. Those red plastic cups. Having the red plastic cups. I assume it's like they all met in college or something.

Or maybe green rooms where they have plastic cups, you know. And that's the name. Oh, so they've called themselves that. Yeah. There is vision in the docker of them all holding plastic cups. Do they have their own? Big plastic cups. Revolutionary.

Just the one for all of them that's got like a big picture of a plastic cup on it. Oh, do they? Yeah, that's my memory of it. Oh, so Kevin O gets a driveway. Maybe I've invented that in my head. I do remember being like, no, no, we understand what a plastic cup is. We don't need a 10-foot tall one behind this man on the stage. 10-foot.

Fuck. It's 10 foot. Fuck. It's so massive. Yeah. Who else are you in the list? I'm bigging you up. I want to put you in. This is who you're with. You're with a Hemsworth on the icons list.

Kate Blanchett. Can we guess? Can we guess? Have you seen them? The list? Yeah. No, I haven't seen them. Okay.

Who else do you think would be on there? Is anyone from Kath and Kim in it? Yes. Kath or Kim in it? Yes. Kath or Kim? No. Are they Hamish and Andy style? They're in there as one. Magda's there.

Magda's there. Beautiful. Glenn Robbins hasn't made the list. Glenn Robbins is not on the list. Yeah, so there's a lot of people not on the list. Actually, that's better. That's better to name the people who aren't on the list. That missed out, but you are on the list.

Yeah, no. There'll be people fucking really angry who aren't on the list that missed out, but you are on the list. There'll be people fucking really angry that I'm on the list, and I appreciate that. Certainly what I wouldn't do is look up the comments from people who have seen the list. I'm not looking at comments because I would get fucking hammered. No, I do love this. I love the psychology of you, Husey, because there's no one bigger than you in the history of Australian comedy,

I don't think. That's very debatable. Well, I know, but that's an opinion. That's my opinion. But then even, but it gets down to, like,

to humanize you in this way, I think it's so funny. A week ago, I booked you for a gig and then I said, I'm going to announce it tonight and then the text is just, please tell them

that I'm actually really funny. And I'm like, no, that's Husey. It's Husey. And I go, mate, Husey, I always actually really funny. And I'm like, no, that's easy. It's easy. And I go, mate, easy. I always say, you're the king. I always say that. And then your text is, make them believe you.

What? I get people come up to me at gigs who like maybe even corporate gigs and go, or they've been dragged along by their friends. I didn't think you were funny. And now I do. Yes. So it's, yeah, whatever. It's an image of me of the fucking Masked Singer or maybe on the project. I didn't think you were funny. And now I do. So it's, yeah, whatever. It's an image of me of the fucking masked singer or maybe on the project.

I don't fucking know. And it's, I don't know what it is, but it's someone who's not that funny or not funny at all. It fucking annoys me, obviously. But if they see me live, they generally change their opinion. The best. And if they fucking don't, if they don't, I can't help them. Because when you come out on stage

when it's live, you just say hello and the crowd erupts. They're not everyone. Some people take time. Some people have it, they've got an opinion about it. Honestly, they do.

I'm polarizing. I know that. What? Yeah, fuck yeah. And this is a common conversation where you say to people, you, if anyone says,

you know, oh, Dave Hughes, don't know about this. And I say, have you seen him live? And they go, no. And I go, you see him live and then you come back to me.

Yeah, I need you. I need you a full-time publicist. Yeah, that's the thing. That's the thing I deal with. Yes, absolutely. There we go. There we go. Get out Cancer Boy and get in PR Guy.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. So that's who else? So are we still guessing? Yes, yeah, guess. Comedy or just any, go any side of comedy?

I've gone through all the comedy now. Sonia Kruger. No. She got the Gold Bloki. People loved her. They gave her the Gold Bloki. No, that's not iconic. You might as well put fucking Grant Denyer in there.

Yeah, why not? Is he in there? No. I love Grant. No, I think he loves her. Fine, but he's not iconic. He's not an icon. All right, who else? Actors. Think of actors. Yeah, actors. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mel Gibson. No, he's fine, but he's not iconic. He's not an icon. All right, who else?

Actors. Think of actors. Yeah, actors. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mel Gibson. No. Okay. They said he's not Australian, have they?

Because how can Mel Gibson not be there? Has he gone back to being American, Mel Gibson? Maybe in the last 20 years. I think he was born in America. He lived in Australia as a kid. When did he get here? Yeah, yeah. I think he was born in America, lived here until Mad Max and then fucked off.

You'd think that he would. It's his living as well, isn't it? They've got to be alive. This is living.

So there's a few who have died recently. A few have died, I reckon, have got me on the list. Barry Humphries

is in. Also, it has to be living. It's like a living Newton John. These are people who definitely would have been

on the list John Farnham Bing Ding Farnham's in there okay Farnsey Ding

okay great what about Hugh Jackman yes Ding of course what about Nicole Kidman oh what were you

about to say Naomi Watts she is on the list there we go she's on the list I reckon that's surprising. Really? But again, she made international...

What's her three biggest movies? No, Mulholland Drive. Yes. Was that a huge movie, though? It was when I was in high school. It was very confusing. Yes. I don't mind it.

If you've been in a number of Hollywood movies and done a number of American TV shows and your name is known internationally... It's the name. Yeah. I think you say your name is known internationally. It's the name. Yeah. You say your name in America and people go, yeah. But this is cultural cringe. It's all about who's known in America.

I know, but that's life. We're dealing with it. Okay, but yes, Nicole Kidman is definitely in. Okay, what about Ta? What's that actress's name? Yes, of course. Ta Blanchett. Yeah, she's in.

Yeah, she's in. What about musicians Blanchett. Yeah, she's in. What about musicians? What about Thelma Plummer? She made it? Not in. Has anyone, any First Nations people in there? Tony Armstrong? No, this is not blowing from the last two years.

Well, this is an icon. Okay. I think he's pretty great. He's so handsome. Yeah, but he's handsome and he's charismatic, but what has he done? If you want to root him, it doesn't mean he gets on the list. That's ridiculous. That is ridiculous.

He'll be in the 50 biggest icons in Tiger Beat next month. Yeah, yeah. If you still want to root him in 50 years' time, he gets on the list. Okay. He's got to do his time. Oh, my breath. Yeah. Deb Mailman.

Oh, yeah. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. There we go. Claudia Carbon. No. Oh, yeah. No. Yes. Yes. There we go. Claudia Carmen. No. Oh, yeah.

No. She kind of disappeared, didn't she? She hasn't disappeared. There's another urban. There's another urban. Keith. Iggy Azalea. Oh, Iggy Azalea.

Yeah. Someone actually posted on my, I get a very few messages, but there's not many at all, to be honest. But someone said, yeah, Iggy's Earl is on the list. They were angry about it. I don't know why. It's weird. It's a different one.

It's a different one, isn't it? What about Kevin Parker? Who's Kevin Parker? Tame Impala. He is actually... He's talking Rolling Stone. He is on the list, I think. Yeah.

Yeah, he's on... I've never heard of that person. They're massive. Yes, he's on the list. Yeah. I actually looked at that and went, I have no idea who that is. Yeah, the Tame Impala guy. I know the name Tame Impala.

So they've had some hits overseas. Yeah, they play at the stadium. Yeah, they've had huge hits. Kylie Minogue? Yes, of course. Danny? No. What?

That's going to be an awkward Christmas, isn't it? No, no. I think it's been awkward at Christmas for a while, if that's what you're going to judge it on. Danny's been cool about it. I've worked with Danny for a number of years. Oh, yeah. How do you feel about Danny?

I love Danny. She's a real professional. Yeah, of course. Danny's a real professional. She's made a very good career out of things. What about Chrissy Swan? No. No.

No. What about Osher Gunzberg? No. No. Don't be a fucking idiot. Hey, sorry. Oh, my God. Hey, are you just kidding?

Just joking. Just because you don't want to ruin him. It's comedy. Wow, okay. We're comedians. Osher stood the test of time and was nominated for a Gold Logie this year. Yeah, yeah. What about Andrew Gee?

Is he in there? More of a fan of the Australian Idol work, honestly. Everything post that. His autobiography is good. I'm more of a Cassius of the Australian Idleworth, honestly. Everything post that. His autobiography is good. I'm more of a Cassius Clay than a Muhammad Ali fan, actually. What about Bob Irwin? What about Bob Irwin? Bob Irwin?

Yeah. What are you talking about? He's been around since he was a baby. What are you talking about? How long do you have to be around to be famous? You know what? What about Bibi? That's not a bad point.

He was shaken in front of the... Yes. He was... Oh, he was dangled in front of a crocodile. Dangled in front of a crocodile. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now he's doing... Jackson's kid's not in here either, so, you know.

Now, look. You have got a very interesting idea of how people should be on this list. Tony, I'm going to take that as a compliment, and that is final. I love Tony, but that's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah. What about Bluey? I love him. Oh, that's a great point, and no. Okay. But that as a compliment and that is final. I love Tiny, but that's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah. What about Bluey? I love him. Oh, that's a great point.

And no. Okay. But that's a very good point. If Bluey was a person, that would be it. Once you let fiction appear. How is that a good point? Bluey's been around for like five years. Yeah, but Bluey's a cartoon.

But hey, then we're talking. She's been around for five years. Bluey is massive overseas. I was in a pool in Singapore with an American family and the kids had Bluey shirts on and I've never felt as patriotic as right then. I was like pointing at the dog going, I'm from there.

That's where I'm from. I'm from Bluey. I want to go back and unpack Yuzi's comment. If Bluey was a person, he'd be in. So are you saying that... She's a girl. Bluey's a girl. But also, so all of the rest of the show is a cartoon

and it's like Who Framed Roger Rabbit where Bluey is just a real person that exists in the cartoon world. I haven't watched a lot of Bluey. I appreciate his success. But my children are older. They're past the Bluey. Is there a Bluey stage? Yeah.

You get past? Yeah. How old is that? I reckon it probably finishes around eight. Yeah, right. My kids are older than that. You ever been asked to be in Bluey? No, of course I'd take that finishes around eight. Yeah, right. Might be a job than that. You ever been asked to be in Bluey? No, of course I'd take that in a heartbeat.

You should be doing more cartoons. You've got a great cartoon voice. Be my agent. Get me in cartoons. Thank you. I love that. Of course. Yeah, I'd do Bluey.

Can't. You're doing this show. Of course you would. I know it's true. No, obviously. Of course. If you're listening to this, you know it. If you're listening to this, you know I'd do Bluey.

Let's get a campaign going for 2024. Let's get Hughsy and Bluey. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that could break me internationally. Fuck it. Come on. What breed of dog would you want to be? This American girl in Singapore would have heard of you.

A little mongrel. Yeah, yeah. You could get really – there's a lot of good brand recognition With my daughter at the moment Yeah really My daughter would find out about you Good She's a new and emerging market

Yeah How old is she? She's four Yeah right Absolutely Any other guesses Before I So it has to be international

No it doesn't have to be Well then why isn't everyone Yelling at me? Because you think it's people You want to root for. Because you said Tony Armstrong. Yeah. As an icon, a living icon.

So it's just icons here? So is Lee Sayles in it? No. Why is that one not one? She's huge. She's not that big. Why is she that big? In Australia she is.

Is she bigger than the people that we have confirmed? Is she bigger than the Hemsworth? Is she bigger than Cate Blanchett? I think in Australia she is. Is she bigger than the people that we have confirmed? Is she bigger than a Hemsworth? Is she bigger than Cate Blanchett? I think in Australia she is. Is she bigger than Carl Barron? Is she bigger than... It is a bit all over the place when you've got Magda Zabansky and a Hemsworth in there. It's like, well, does it have to be someone who's gone huge overseas

or is it just someone who's massive? Well, Magda's been massive here for 30 years. Yeah, okay. So it's a long time here or more recently but with big global massive? Well, Magda's been massive here for 30 years. Yeah, okay. So it's a long time here or more recently but with big global stuff. Yeah, it is. It's like a hall of fame. It's a bit all over the place.

It's all over the place. It's like the Australian comedy hall of fame. Tony Armstrong, come on. I love him. I'm not saying you don't love him. He's iconic. I love the Instagram model I saw yesterday. He's iconic.

Yeah. But yeah, why is it Samantha Fox on this list. Yeah. But yeah, why is it Samantha Fox on this list? Yeah. I don't know who she is, but she sounds iconic. She would be on the list. She would be on the British list. She would be on the British list. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Well, do you want me to rattle through some of the other people? Well, look, here's someone you would agree on. Maybe Lee Lynn Chin. She's on that. Okay. And you guys scoffed at me when I said Lee Sayles.

I agree. Thank you. I agree. Thank you. I agree. That is a bit of a curveball. Yeah. Thank you.

Wow. On the record, I did not scoff at Lee Sayles. I wasn't scoffing. Parallel to Tony Armstrong, I reckon. That's fair. Look, she's similar to Lee Sayles. There's probably, I don't know. Who knows what splits the two of them?

What about Koshy or Stefanovic or one of those guys? No, not on this list. Wow, he says the two dumbest ones we've said so far. And you're like, that's fine. But also, you know what he's doing there? You know what he's doing there? He knows this list. He's just naming people he knows aren't on the list. Oh, he's right. He's trying to make what he's doing there? You know what he's doing there? He knows this list. He's just naming people he knows aren't on the list.

Oh, he's trying to make me feel better. He's bigger than these people. No, I knew. Dave was too much. I don't know. He's parking the magazine to memory. I do not know the whole list at all. I saw Deb Mailman, so that one I did.

I knew that one, but I don't know the whole list. So I do not know the whole list. I guessed Sibanski. I did not know J but I don't know the whole list. So I do not know the whole list. I did not. I guessed Sibanski. I did not know Jules Lippley. Okay. All right. Sure.

Millions of people wouldn't believe you, but I do. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Absolutely. I will. The magazine is in my car, as you know. $22.50. $22.50.

Who? Hang on. Who could do that? I'm always thinking. As one of QZ's plastic cup boys, I'm forbidden. Part of my brain right now is thinking that you guys organized it and the whole thing's a prank. Yeah.

Hall of Fame. It's all been built to this moment. We have the kind of inroads with the Rolling Stone and we can influence what's in there. We don't get ourselves in there. We get you in as a prank. That's so good. All of a sudden we pull out a copy, we un-Blu-Tack the picture of you

I was thinking of my daughter, who, my daughter in her grand final for her basketball the other day, she missed 20 shots in a row. Just fucking missed. But who's counting? Well, I was. But she got the final shot which got her team the win. Great. That's great.

She just kept shooting. It's all the ham sandwich. Hey, you can afford to keep trying when you're an FO baby. It's the beauty of life. Is your experience okay now come home and sleep in your bed as the son of the guy who designed the chimp enclosure at the zoo yes i consider myself a nepo baby that's really good design the chimp enclosure that's great yeah wow yeah it's huge. Yeah. What were the chimps called?

Were there any famous chimps? Were they gorillas? Did they make the list? Were they famous gorillas? Well, as the son of the man of the proprietor of the shop in Maryborough called Chandler's Rejects, I say it must be nice, Tommy. Was that your dad's job? He had a shop once called that.

The Chandler's Rejects. Chandler's Rejects. Did it do well? That's amazing. It did okay. It wasn't as fun to go to school, high school, age 16 and go, oh, Chandler's Rejects. You're one of them, cunt.

You should rename Spleen Comedy Night that. Oh, that's good. That's very good. Do a little reject shop. Would there be a photo? There would be. There's got to be a photo somewhere. You must have taken a photo of his champs, his reject shop.

Yeah, but back in the day, you're not on your phone. I know, but can you talk to your relatives and find a photo? There'd have to be. Tommy, what did your dad think about? Remember when that kid fell into the gorilla's pen overseas and then they had to shoot the gorilla dead. Harambe? Yes.

I think you're thinking about the man. It's not Harambe. No. What did your dad think about that? Actually, I've never asked my dad what he thought of Harambe. Wow. It feels like that would have been something that he would have an opinion on.

I'll bring this up at Christmas lunch as I'm handing him his signed copy of the Rolling Stone 50 Australian icons. What was the famous baby gorilla? There's a famous baby gorilla in Melbourne, I reckon. They had to name it. Yeah, so we named the gorilla. Wasn't it named the gorilla? Missouri?

Missouri, I think it was Missouri. Something like that. Remember Missouri? Yeah. Back when people used to get excited about naming monkeys back in the day. Now we've all got better things to do. Good memory. Paul Hogan.

Yep. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yep. Of course. Russell Crowe, yes. Sam Neill. Sam Neill, yes.

Tina Rihanna. Oh, yeah. Isn't she mad? Makes sense. Love her, though. She's a character. She didn't like the lockdowns and fair enough to it. Uh-oh, kindred spirit alert.

Now, I've got two. I've got two here that might surprise you slightly. Now, after naming all those people... Give us a guess. Give us the initials. We've got an icon in our midst. These two are on the same shelf as this man and all those other greats. Fantastic.

Someone, this is a person well known for TV. He's still on TV at the moment. Give us the initials. Still on TV at the moment. Still on Channel 9 at the moment. Darryl Summers. No, he's not on Channel 9 at the moment. Right now.

He would have been on This Morning, This Man. This Morning on Channel 9. Oh, Richard Wilkins. That's it. Richard Wilkins. Dickie Wilkins. Dickie Wilkins. Dickie Wilkins. You know what?

I did see he posted about it. I saw that. How do you become an Australian icon for being a reporter about all the other icons? Like, that's what your job is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one was, yeah. Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

Spreading gossip about the other icons. Yeah, no, that's... He should have broken this story. Richard is, yeah. Yeah, this is a bad news because he's will say, when I went to London in 2012, when I went to London in 2012 to film... Exclusive, by the way, Daily Mail, Dave Hughes says, Richard Wilkins, not an honor.

No, don't say that. Oh, God, Richard. When I went to London in 2012 to film an ad that was part of the Olympics, we filmed something at this pub and they had put a call out to any Aussie expats to come and be extras in it and Dickie Wilkins was there covering it and the Australians

that were currently living in London Dickie Wilkins turning up it was like Beatlemania people were going insane

and I thought you've been out of the country for too long something about London makes Australians so homesick about any form of shithouse Australia

getting that toothpaste tube of Vegemite sent over from your parents and it's like I've never toothpaste tube of Vegemite sent over from your parents and it's like, I've never seen you eat Vegemite when you lived in Australia. Yeah, I've had a little bit of a taste of that. When you're overseas and people recognise you, it's like you're a kangaroo hopping down Australia. I've never seen you suck off Richard Wilkins before

to have them. Two are the same. Flea. Flea. Flea. Oh, Flea. Boom. Oh, yeah? Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

He knew he was Australian. Because he was born in Melbourne and then moved to LA when he was three and then came back and did a couple of years of school and then went back over. We're claiming Flea. We're claiming Flea. And we can't have Tony Armstrong. But he's like a big, you know, he's always pushing that narrative. You know what I mean? We're claiming Flea. We're claiming Flea. And we can't have Tony Armstrong.

But he's like a big, you know, he's always pushing that narrative. You know what I mean? He's always talking about it. No. Is he? You're not allowed to do that. You're not allowed. Yeah, but he can push it. But Rolling Stone don't have to push it.

The magazine about music wouldn't want to have someone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in there. Flea was born in Melbourne, Australia. His family moved to Rye, New York when he was four. Where was he born? What suburb? Oh, that's a good question. Fascinated by that. Doesn't say.

Where did you read his book? Yeah. I've read the Scar Tissue. Yeah, me too. I read it recently. Yeah, it's great. Good book. Is Flea's book good as well?

Flea's is apparently good, but I thought this was interesting. Oh, you haven't read it? His book, Fle Fleas is just like all about his child because he had this like crazy childhood and his book sort of stops at the time

that the chili peppers start yeah right because he was like well Kiedis has written about all that in his book so if you want to know if you want to know all that yeah right

alright I love the chili peppers how many pages were about living in Melbourne not fucking many I reckon you wouldn't remember it no well if it's all before the chili peppers started probably a fair bit if it's about living in Melbourne? Not fucking many, I reckon. You wouldn't remember it? No. Well, if it's all before the chili pepper started,

probably a fair bit of it's about living in Melbourne. Well, there wasn't many days there, so there wouldn't have been, unless some great things happened. I mean, how many stories has he got before the age of three? I don't really remember. Memory kicks in about three, doesn't it, do you reckon? But isn't Under the Bridge is about the Balti, isn't it? It's about the Westgate.

That's about him walking past Chris Franklin after a gig. No, it's about the Westgate in a parallel about him walking past Chris Franklin after a gig. No, it's about the Westgate in a parallel universe where Husey didn't make this list. Wow, okay. You and Flea. Ozzy Flea. Ozzy Flea.

And Lee Lynn Chin. Yeah, and Richard Wilkins. Yep. All the greats. All the greats. All the greats. I want to see them put on like a, you know, sometimes when these magazines do these kinds of things,

they like, they get, you know, they'll put like a video out where they've gotten all the people together. Like their Vanity Fair round table stuff before the Oscars. How many can we get in a room? I want to see you, Flea, Dickie Wilkins. I'll be there. I'll pay my own way. Sam Neill.

Magda. I want to see all you guys chewing the fat. Sam Neill has a duck named after me. You know that? Yeah. We went to his farm in New Zealand and I begged him to name a duck after me and crawled around on the ground trying to hug this duck so he'd name the duck after me. Wow.

Was that a low point in your life? I think it was. Just desperate for connection to fame. So you're a duck in Sam Neill's paddock. Yeah, he might have killed him. I don't know. Next step, a dog on Bluey. Yeah, exactly.

Flea from zero to four in Melbourne and then came back and did three years of school in Canberra and that's it. Six years in Australia. That's it. Three of them from zero to three barely count in my humble opinion. It's an odd one. I think this is...

It will be an odd one, but we'll take it. I don't mind it, but I mind it more knowing the Wiggles aren't on there. Yes, exactly. Wiggles should be there. Exactly. Wiggles not being there just makes the whole thing null and void. Null and void.

But I'm keeping the magazine. Yeah. $22.50. You can pay for it. You're a chuck it out. If you hadn't got it for free from the airport, we could take it away from you. It'd still be at the airport.

Yeah. Well, congratulations, King Hughesy. Congrats, Hughesy. Yeah. Love it. Love having an icon in this house. This is one of... I believe...

Hang on, let me have a look. Hey, the value's gone up now. You'll be able to appreciate that. I do like this house, actually. You're in a good spot here. This is the only... I believe... Hang on, let me have a look.

Yeah, Nick Cave's never been in this house. Yes, you are the only icon. Wow. Thank you. Exciting. Thank you. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, Nick Cave's nephew is a teacher house. Yes, you are the only icon. Wow. Thank you. Exciting. Thank you. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, Nick Cave's nephew is a teacher at my wife's school.

Yeah. They're doing their class concert tonight, in fact. Oh, wow. How's his posture? Really good. Yeah, that's good. Have to have good posture to work at that school. Actually, sorry, Elle Macpherson's been in this house.

Oh, right. I shouldn't mention that. Yeah, of course. Has Elle Macpherson been in this house? No. That was comedy. A comedy joke about me having sex with a supermodel. Oh, right. I shouldn't mention that. Yeah, of course. Is there any person in this house? No. That was comedy. A comedy joke about me having sex with a supermodel.

Oh, right. You're officially too funny to be a Husey's plastic couple now. All right, we'd better wrap it up there. Thank you, Husey and Bron for joining us.

I appreciate it. You both have tours on sale now. Yes. Get around. Tickets still available. Husey, your show is called Fully Furnished. Yeah, I'm You both have tours on sale now. Yes. Get around. Tickets still available. Your show is called Fully Furnished. Yeah, I'm thinking about changing the name actually.

Where did you get that idea? Fully Furnished. The name came from my friend who's let out one of my apartments. I've seen this joke before. I let him have a look at the apartment and he said, I didn't know it was Fully Furnished. I say, it's not. I've given you the wrong keys.

That's very funny. And my show is called Obviously and it's just all about older people giving me advice that never makes sense. Okay. And what cities are we all in? Most of them. Yeah.

Yeah, check out Davehughes.com.au. Adelaide, Perth? Yeah, I haven't got any Perth dates at the moment. Adelaide, Perth's next month. Well, no, not that. Adelaide, yeah, all those ones. Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne. Melbourne usually is at the salubrious basement comic box.

Oh, yeah. Not only can you come and see Hughesy, you might even see me skulking around the door and being angry at you for some reason. Absolutely. You get really stressed for no reason. No, it's good. Check all that out, guys.

Thanks very much for listening and we'll see you next time. See you, mate. And they've done it again. And they've done it again. Bernie. Bernie. Bernie's kicked a big one. Where's Bernie in the Rolling Stones icon list?

Rolling Stoner. He's not... Yeah. That would be great if it was not the magazine The Rolling Stone, The Rolling Stones. They got together and they decided Husey is one of the icons of Australia. It's really confusing the term Rolling Stone in music in that, yeah, that's like a 60s music magazine called Rolling Stone, whereas one of the biggest bands, well, it's an American magazine. So the biggest, yeah, maybe the biggest band in America apart from the Beatles was the Rolling Stones.

So they've just called it that. I've never been clear on what the genesis of that actually is. It's in response to the band no because then on top of that there was the bob dylan song yep like a rolling stone yeah that was before that but then i don't popular analogy in the 60s people loved it but then i don't even think the rolling stones took their name from that song they took their name from like a blues song from like the 40s or something right so it's there there's like four four ways in in you know popular pop culture history so clearly that's an era in time when the

phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss was really popping off yeah yeah yeah and so but you never hear people talk about that anymore do you think that if not if those four things didn't exist or at least a couple of them didn't exist, the saying would still be popular? But now it's like, imagine someone going like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like the magazine. Yeah, fuck, we get it. We're pretty close to having a very big band

and a very popular magazine called Stitch in Time, I reckon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just that close. Yeah, yeah. Please welcome to the stage a bird in the hand. That's good. That's good. That's a good, you know, we talked a while ago about good, like, cover band names.

Yeah. Where it's not just, like, going a bit further than a pun and making it, like, if you did call yourself, if you were a Rolling Stones cover band and you called yourself Stitch In Time. Yeah. For the few people that really put it together, it's like, oh, I get that. That's cool. That's a in Time. Yeah. For the few people that really put it together, it's like, oh, I get that. That's cool.

That's a neat idea. Yeah. Instead of like the cover bands that, you know, the cover bands that are always like, fuck, how do we make a good name? Like, you know, say you're a blur cover band. Oh, like Oasis had a cover band. They're called No Oasis. No Oasis.

Yeah, that's good. Well, there's, I went, I had a ticket to this last year and I didn't go. At the Corner Hotel, every January, they have a Talking Heads cover night. And I don't think it's a band that plays around regularly. I think it's just like once a year. It's a bit of like an all-star group of just Melbourne musicians get together and play the set list of Stop Making Sense. So the Corner Hotel has that on.

But then in the same month, there's also an actual Talking Heads cover band from the USA coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's so funny that you've got the night where it's just a bunch of local guys getting together to play the songs, and then a group of guys who've come from another country, and it's like actually they're bread and butter to play these. And I kind of want to go to both.

Yeah. I'm kind of tempted to check both out. I am always intrigued by those cover bands that go, like I've seen that one, the Talking Heads one, where it's like Talking Heads in like one million point font and then in three point down the bottom cover band. Experience. Yeah, experience.

Yes, yes. And then you go, okay, so yeah, so David Byrne didn't get the band back together to play at the Corner Hotel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, so David Byrne didn't get the band back together to play at the Corner Hotel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, so there's that one, and then the one that's, the American band that are coming out, I think they're called

Start Making Sense. Oh, yeah, great. Perfect. But not perfect. Yeah, it's like, no, but Stop Making Sense is, it's like taking the kind of play on something and, like, reverting it back to just a fair enough statement. Yeah.

You know what I mean? I think, you know what? I think there's two iconic stats to live bands, I think, or whatever in history for me. When Elvis used to hit the stage and they'd play that song, da-na-na, da-na-na. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that thing. Then you know i was about to walk

on stage and then there's the rolling stones one is like they would go ladies and gentlemen the rolling stones and then you come on yeah i love that idea ladies and gentlemen don't put all your eggs in one basket yeah yeah and then mick and keith walk out yeah yeah i remember seeing the black keys at the hi-fi bar kind of relatively early on and they had a guy come out and just basically do a bit of mc work yeah just gas up the crowd yeah and i it was like an early i would have been like 21 or something so it's like kind of relatively early concert to go to but i just kind of thought oh this is cool every band just has like a bloke that comes out and just fucking does a bit of crowd work and like revs all the way from akron ohio you know

really given the full biography yeah and then now you never see that they just you know these people just walk out and i always think like there must be some like partner of someone here who's you know the partner's a fan and they don't really know much about the band. A bit of Wikipedia as they walk onto the stage wouldn't go astray. Yeah, yeah. That's funny as like a visual on a screen behind a band, just their Wikipedia page. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, just in case you're here, you've bought a ticket for $200 and you don't really know why you're here. Yeah. Previously on The Black Keys. Yeah, exactly. There was a... I think, what about this?

You have a... How do you reckon this would work? If you had your own cover band open for you, but the cover band played the songs that you're not going to play later. Well, did I tell this on the show? Maybe I did. I went and saw Weezer and they were here because they were opening for Kiss, they also did their own show oh yeah you did say this and they yeah they covered strutter and rivers was like oh we're gonna play this before kiss tomorrow and i was just like no you're not

i've never heard of an opening act playing a song by the main band but then i looked up their set list the next day and they they did do it. That just seemed crazy to me. I know, I like it. No, I love it. It's cool. I think it's super smart. Especially if you know that it's not going to be in their set list but I've never seen or heard of that done before

to the point where I had always assumed if you're a DJ opening for a band, it's like, well, you don't play any of their songs, obviously. You would have been to plenty of bands, maybe especially earlier on, where you're there to see a band and that cover band come out. And even though the cover band are liked by the main act, and maybe the main act has chosen them, you're sitting there going,

fuck off, you take it personally. Sing a cover band? I mean, sorry, not the cover band, the opening band. Oh, the support act. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you sort of take it personally, especially when you're younger. You're like, these people are in the way of me seeing my favourite band. This sucks.

Fuck off. Yeah. If they leave right now, my favourite band has to come on right now. They're stopping me from seeing my – you know, but that's not how it works. I don't know that I ever felt that way, but yeah, I get what you mean. Well, I can – Having opened doing comedy for famous comedians, that is how people's mentality was. Absolutely.

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. That's what I've observed. I haven't been yelling at anyone. I've been watching people and I'm like, fucking whatever.

I was the opposite. I was such a Nazi for it when I was younger and we'd go to concerts. I would be like, we've paid for the ticket. Right. It's the whole experience.

We get there when doors open. We have to see all of the, because we might discover someone new. My friends are like, we don't care. We're getting there as the band start. Right. And then I'm stressing out about missing the start of the because we might discover someone new my friends are like we don't care yeah we're getting there as the band start right and then i'm stressing out about missing the start of the main

band i'm a little fella so i'm not getting a good spot in the crowd yeah nightmare yeah but yeah but no that is a way of getting the band on board uh the crowd on board cover band a cover uh chucking a few covers in there because you're watching a band that you've never seen before there's no context for it you're going this fucking i don't care yeah i'm not in the learning mode i want to see this band if you if they start playing covers especially well as long as they're not going to play them later on those songs well that's it i mean if it's it it it is kind of interesting if you go like if you're radiohead and you're like we don't play paranoid android anymore and you know like yeah those bands that have so much like resentment for their like earlier work or

they're like you know some of their beloved hits if you go well we're getting a cover band out to do all that stuff do all the deep cuts this one's for the fans yeah if you're a real fan you can get to the gig an hour early yeah and see the stuff that we are not going to play i think it's smart that's pretty cool. Next time I'm on before Hughsey, I'm doing Snakes Alive. Yeah. He's not doing it anymore. That's honestly just if you were a band and you did that and that was like your marketing

thing of the tour, that's like going to get you so much press. Yeah. Like that's such an interesting angle. Yes. I think it's a great idea. Like, hey, we've picked the six songs that we don't want to play anymore. The fans always complain. Yeah. But we've been playing six songs that we don't want to play anymore. The fans always complain. Yeah.

But we've been playing them for 25 years. We're sick of them. Yeah. So these 20-year-olds, they're excited to play them because we're their favorite band. So if you get in there early and you see the support band before you see the main band, don't throw the baby out with the dishwater.

Yeah. You can see some of their B-sides that you wanted to hear. Yeah. I went and saw The War on Drugs and Spoon, and Spoon are a band who like... I'm glad you said that now, because I heard you mention that a few times, and you said,

oh, I'm going to see The War on Drugs and Spoon. I'm like, if that's the name of one band, that's a fucking amazing band. Oh, I never thought of that them touring together is funny yeah yeah the war on drugs and spoon well is there a war war on spoon as well well you know what i did wonder is that they are you know they're they're a pretty they're pretty beloved band the war on drugs but i do wonder if it's a name where you just like obviously you know you're just fucking around in your basement. You're like, oh, you know, obviously the band probably started,

you know, oh yeah, this is a funny, clever name. But then like right after they were here, I saw on their Instagram, they were in Singapore. And it's just something about like appearing live in Singapore, the war on drugs. You know, you just imagine like there's so many countries where like you go in and it's like on your incoming passenger car, you know, you're getting on your incoming passenger car.

You're getting asked about your visa. I just did wonder, there must be someone in that touring party who's really got to be on their shit when they're shepherding the band through customs or whatever. Oh no, we're actually called The War on Chewing Gum. We hate it. We're called The War on Gay Sex. But yeah, Spoon are a band who I could watch for three hours and still not be satisfied. They played like 50 minutes and I was like, I wish there had been a Spoon cover band on for two hours before them

just playing all the stuff that they did not get around to in their short set. I don't even know their stuff, I don't think. Really? Yeah. You'd like them. They're good. Right. Okay.

Well, I'll go back and watch them in Singapore. Thanks to everyone who listens to this show, who listens to the main feed and then listens to this bit as well. And thank you especially to all the people who support the show, not just through their ears, but through their wallets. People that want this thing to keep going so that they throw a few shekels our way. We've done a few. Well, no, we've done.

Wait. No, we've done a few live talking dum-dums this year. I wonder if that's won anyone over. Oh, yeah. Who is in the crowd who's never listened to this bit of the show. Let us know. Let us know if you happen to be at a show where price of admission got you you're like oh well i may as well stick around and watch this next bit

and if that made you go well i'll be goddamned if reading out names and riffing on them isn't really funny yeah hands why don't we why don't we start doing some studio episodes and then live talking dum-dums that's a really good idea that would be quite good have we not done that no i don't think so we did do a we did record a live talking dumb dumb at the end of 2021 i think maybe oh yeah maybe we did do that i think we maybe did a bone i don't think we did an ep i think we did a i think we just did a live talking dumb and then put it at the end of a regular rep yeah wait you know what you know what i'd like to do you know what we should do we should do a live talking dumb dumb at spleen once the whole time like you know i've run spleen like comedy at spleen for the entire time we've had

this podcast we've never done a podcast yeah we've never done a podcast there well i'm annoyed that we and i know there's you know there's a good reason for this. Remember the idea where, what was it? We were going to film Nick Capa doing a special where it was going to be him writing the material on the way there. Starting at like 8pm and doing a pub crawl. And then ending with him taping a special at midnight. Which is all just material that he's come up with on the walk. Yes, as he's drinking. I'm annoyed that we never got that off the ground.

Yeah. That's a really good idea. Yeah. People would watch that. That's still a thing that could happen. I think about like putting content out at the moment is so like it's an overcrowded field. You know, you just worry that you put something out,

no one's going to pay attention to it. But if you saw that, if you saw a trailer for a special that I recorded at 1am, drunk, that I wrote on the way to the gig, bar hopping, who's not going to watch that? Yeah, yeah. That would be interesting. He, Nick Capper, fucking hell. On the weekend, he was on at Basement Comedy and he went. He was following a comedian called Mickey Bartlett and half the crowd

were there to see him Northern Irish lot of drinkers you mean Mickey Flanagan no I always I got it right

didn't I you did yes I think literally the first time possibly yeah yes possibly

I think I sent an email you told me a story about how you kept getting it wrong yes you told me that story and then I heard you do it maybe six or seven times.

Yes. IRL. Yes. You should have heard all the other times. Great. You should have read all the other emails I sent out. I think a lot of people say to me, wow, I can't believe that guy, Mickey Flanagan, is coming on the mic.

So when you say half the crowd was there to see Mickey Bartlett. No, yeah. Northern Irish comedian called Mickey Bartlett. So a lot of people there to see him. Irish drinkers, whatever. He gets on. He's playing to his own crowd. He crashes, destroys.

And then Kappa's on next. And my goal scene is MC. And he's there. And I'm saying to Kappa, please, Kappa, do not get on there and do new material. It's Saturday night. It's a full house. It's a hot crowd.

You're following someone who just fucking blistered the paint off the walls. Yep. Do not go on there. The Irish don't like new material. Yeah. Just go on and do a proper job of, I'm paying you. And he like, he just, you know, Goldstein looks at me like, who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Yeah.

This is absolutely pointless. Yep. Kappa looks at me with a glint in his you think you're talking to? This is absolutely pointless. Kappa looks at me with a glint in his eye going, I'm just going to do whatever I want despite whatever you say. And I'm like going, I'm like saying to Goldstein, fuck, how do I make him do what I want? Because I'm trying to say,

I want to say to him, I'm not going to pay you if you go on there and bomb and do new material. But then I'm like, that's not a threat to Kappa he's so used to not getting paid but this is the thing with Kappa

and doing open mic he doesn't understand I always hear people say these things about Kappa and it's like why are you getting involved with Kappa if you don't want to

be dealing with this kind of stuff you know I completely agree it's also what makes him so funny is what makes these things an issue

but yeah him going on and me saying to Goldstein, look, I'm putting my hand up. It's completely my fault. Why am I dealing with him? Why am I expecting him to change? Fool me 4,017 times. Shame on me. Yes.

Who is more mentally deficient in this episode? The person doing the fucked up thing or the person thinking he's going to change after 5 000 times you're like bart with the electrified cupcake yes and he of course he just walks on and and you know mickey bartlett's just been super relatable to these irish people and then capico's on and says something like yeah what's up what's up with these igloos? What's going on with igloos? Liquid house. Yeah, and you just see people streaming out the door. Yeah, great.

That's great. I saw him right after that and he was telling me about it as if it was like the greatest thing that had ever happened to him. Him bombing? No, you being mad that he was doing new. Yeah, well. I guess that is a good thing if you wonderful world of nick capper yeah i guess i guess that is a good thing looking into your future and not gigging with me i guess that well i mean this is why we need to get this special

off the ground yeah couldn't be doing it at 1am with material he's written 15 minutes ago in the street couldn't be any worse than some of the ones he does where he's meant to be trying. Yeah, well, if he's doing this special, I hope there's not a huge Northern Irish contingent in the audience because that may not go that well. It's funny to think of a group of Irish people sitting there being like, I can't understand a fucking thing he's saying. Yeah.

It's like, I wish I was you. I wish I couldn't understand this. That's the saying. Yeah. It's like, I wish I was you. I wish I couldn't understand this. That's the problem. I understand every word of it. It's killing me. Speaking of to Irish, you ever watch that Banshees of Innisharen? No.

Good film. Okay. Recommend it. Yes. To anyone with a bit of downtime over the break. I know it's like a year old now. But some people like yourself may not have ever gotten around to it. It's a fucking ripper.

It's on Disney. On Disney. Okay. I've got Disney. Yeah. I've got Disney. I know you've got Disney. I've got Disney.

Load it up after Frozen. Blanket can watch a man cut his own finger off. Okay. Yeah. I'm still getting through Get Back. I still haven't finished Get Back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think I ever finished it, but I went to like a weird, I went still getting through Get Back. I still haven't finished Get Back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think I ever finished it.

But I went to like a weird, I went to a screening, like a press screening of it where they showed us. Condensed. But yeah, condensed bit of the studio stuff and then all of the rooftop concert. So it was sick to see the rooftop concert in a cinema, which they're now, I think is on at IMAX like now. Yes.

So that was cool but then when i sat down to watch the actual doco thing it was all like you know 20 minutes that i'd seen and then an hour that i hadn't you know what i mean i was like i don't know this is annoying yeah bits and bobs of this well you know i still haven't got to the concert on the roof and then you know look i couldn't help myself i skipped ahead i read the news and i found out they broke up in the end. So, I was like, it's sort of spoiled it for me. Well, but no, but they're back.

They came back this year. Oh, okay. All right. Well, I'll get back into it. They reformed. I'll get back into it then. Chasing the nostalgia dollar. Pathetic.

That would be good. What if they had of like got up on the roof again and just had the holograms of John and George on the roof? Two 80-year-olds up there. Honestly, I can see that happening in our lifetimes. No. I can see maybe when they're all gone, I can see there being some bullshit thing where they go,

hey, that rooftop, we've now got four holograms up there and we've recreated it. Have you watched the music video for the new song, for the Beatles' new song? I haven't, and this is so stupid. I've got the song saved in my library and I just have not gotten around to listening to it. Right. It's three minutes.

Yeah. But I just am like, I can't really be fucked. Okay. So the music video is like, you know, they use all the technology to get George and John back. Like next to them. From the dead. Playing. Yeah.

Playing. Using old footage and whatever. And it's like, like oh this is amazing but then using the same technology they put ringo and paul back together in a room yeah it's like why didn't you just be in the same fucking room yeah you are both alive and it's just being the same room yeah and it's like we're we're do you mean put them in the same room as in it's footage of them from back in the day? No, it's footage from them. Oh, right.

But they're just in different places. They're just in different cities. Oh, okay. Well, yeah. It's so stupid. Well, especially, I can imagine, you know, a while ago that being a bit more like, oh, wow, isn't this crazy how people can link up like that? Yeah. But it's like literally every person on earth did that for their normal job for two years straight.

Yes. Had to be on zoom so it's like can you believe this we just managed to link them up and get them to do stuff together and it's like yeah that's not that's not that impressive in 2023 but also they've got footage of them like you know like like ringo playing the drums in one room and paul in a different city playing bass and then they've spliced together the footage so it sort of vaguely looks like they're sitting next to each other doing it. It's like, oh, you could have just put on the fucking Handycam

when they actually recorded the song a year ago. Yeah. In the same fucking room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a very weird way of doing it. And especially if it's like, if they have like Paul where he is and it's like the subtitle New York and then it's like Ringo's like New Jersey. It's like, you're not even that far away.

But yeah, it's also like, then it's that weird mix of like you know they've put them side by side so they've got like a 23 year old john lennon playing next to an 80 year old yeah yeah this is sort of a weird band well that's what i thought you meant when you said they've got them back together it's like oh they've used old footage which is like well no this is now we're just watching old footage yeah yeah yeah but i will say changing like you you know, like doing the old Jay Leno thing where they just take the mouths out and put new mouths in and make the mouth different things. Yeah, get Arnold Schwarzenegger in there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The bit in the McCartney concert where he had the footage that Paul Jackson, Peter Jackson made for him where he took the footage of John from the rooftop and just isolated the vocals and he's cleaned it right up using that ai technology that they had that was fucking awesome it looked and sounded amazing it truly did look like footage that had been shot like last week yeah right of a dead man yes um he did um thank you to everyone we're getting back to that thank you

everyone who um signed up to patreon uh patreon.com slash LittleDumbDumbClub or go to our website. There's heaps of beautiful things on that website, including merch. It's Christmas. Maybe we can do a little Boxing Day sale of a few bits of merch and stuff like that as well, Tommy. Sure.

So get there on Boxing Day. Not Black Friday, but whatever that is. Black Tuesday. I feel like the Boxing Day. Not Black Friday, but whatever that is. Black Tuesday. I feel like the Boxing Day, the wind has really been taken out of the sails, I say. Okay, that's good. By Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Yeah. I hate it. I'm getting, I was getting texts from fucking shops I didn't know I'd ever even been into. Being like, ah, it's our Black Friday sale. I reckon I'm going to go to an IRL Boxing Day sale this year. I haven't done it for ages.

What do you want to get? No idea. Yeah. I think I just want to experience it. I'll be driving back from my aunt and uncle's place. So maybe I'll drop in at the Foster Pub and see if they're having a Boxing Day sale. It'd just be me going into like the IGA in Leon Gatha.

Yeah. Hey, guys. Yeah. Got any cheap milk? A Rolo Bar's a bit discounted today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That three-day-old bread, is that cheaper? Yeah.

That'd be good. Thank you to everyone Who continues to support And a future thank you To people who get on board After hearing this This ad right now But In particular

Let's read out a few names And get real specific Let's get small on these details Thank you very much To Patreon subscriber Lauren Doyle Lauren Doyle Yeah, Lauren Doyle Hmm Yeah, Lauren Doyle.

Oh, Doyle rules. Yes, this Doyle rules. It's annoying that, just to go back to Boxing Day sales, it's annoying that the number of things that have Boxing Day sales, it doesn't go far enough. Every single thing should have a Boxing Day sale. What's the number one wish for you to have a Boxing Day sale? I tell you what, turning up to an auction.

Oh, yeah? 26th of December and being like, hey, this is valued at like a mil. That's good. But I reckon if I go in on Boxing Day, I might be able to get this for $800. So the auctioneer does this. So someone bids and goes, puts their paddle up and goes, $1 million. And the auctioneer goes, $950,000. Oh, yeah, they're doing it on the-

Takes $50,000 off. Yeah, I wonder how- Well, because it's stuff that was a certain price up until- So maybe it's like you have an auction. You have like a pre-auction. The auctioneer forces, like does the- Takes $50,000 off every bid. Yeah, something like that.

That would be good. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Or just even, you know, I wish my rent day was the 26th oh yeah and then just when i'm putting that through just being like i assume you're having a boxing day sale in there so yeah i've just taken 20 off what that's good any bill just saving up a couple of months worth of water and gas bills paying them on the 26th and just being like, hey guys, really appreciate your generosity this time of year.

Just walk past the 7-Eleven and there's someone begging out the front. Here's $4.50. He was going to give you $5, but obviously Boxing Day today. Imagine that, having a little portfolio of properties. It's like, I own three houses. When did you buy them? Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day. Got myself, got my foot in the door.

I would have only had two houses, but because of those sales, I had enough for three. Thank God that now, for some weird reason, we do Black Friday and Cyber Monday in this country, in spite of the fact that they're tethered to a holiday which we do not celebrate. Yes, well, you know, Halloween, etc. country in spite of the fact that they're tethered to a holiday which we do not celebrate yes well you know halloween etc um lauren doyle um we've given you a discount on uh on on this my friend's

No. Well, he has a dog in that called Doyle, and it was my friend's favourite movie. Okay. So he got a dog and he named it after that film. Good name.

Good name for a little doggy. I thought you were going to say, what is it? The French connection. Gene Hackman plays A character called Popeye Doyle Ooh Well I wonder

If that's the link Maybe that's the link For the film For the film Film slash book Yeah Yes Great film

This is coming out a week and a half before the new year, 2024. Got any? Only one I can think of at the moment. I want to watch a movie that I've never watched. That is Apocalypse Now.

That's what you just meant. Once in 2024, I just need to see one movie that I've never seen before. No, no, no. Yeah, I've never seen Apocalypse Now either. Yeah, I think I want to watch it. We should keep an eye out for if there's ever... You know, that's one of those films that they'll always be like an Astor Theatre or like somewhere or chuck it up.

We should keep an eye out for if there's a... If there's like a... If they have it at a cinema. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll go check it out. Yeah, I'd like to watch it. Convince the cinema to let us do a live pod afterwards. Yeah, yeah. That'd We'll go check it out. Yeah. Convince the cinema to let us do a live pod afterwards. Yeah, yeah.

That'll be good. Pod of darkness. Look at these fucking crazy cunts. Kill yourself. Doyley. Doyley. Doyley. Any connotations where there were Doyle?

Oh, Doyle rules I am... Yeah. Oh, Doyle rules, of course. Yeah, that's it. Billy Madison. I don't really like it. You don't like the name Doyle? No, I don't really like it. I like it because it reminds me of my friend's dog, but as a name for a human lady, no good.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe it's not a very feminine name and I don't like it. But you know what's weird is that it's not far away from the word doily, which is very feminine. You're completely right. What's moil? Moil's like someone that cuts the end of your dick off, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah. Yeah, moil. So what would doil be? Someone who cuts the end of something else off? Your pussy. Pussy? The end of your pussy. Yeah. Just the end of something else off? Your pussy. Pussy?

The end of your pussy. Yeah. Just the tip of your pussy. A pussy bris. Yeah. That would be good. Yeah. How's that girl you're going out with?

It's a bit weird. She's not circumcised. It's sort of a bit weird. Yeah. I'm used to them. I'm used to dating in the Middle East. I know I've told this on the show, but I reckon you won't remember this.

Okay. But not long into being with my girlfriend, she was like, just, I don't know how this came up or how we got onto it, but she was like, yeah, I know how this hat came up or how we got onto it but she was like yeah i just think it's um it's it's you know been with a lot of guys that are circumcised and you know i think it's great that you know you're not circumcised it doesn't speak around i'm like and i was like i am circumcised that's great i think i have that, but it's still great.

What's happening there? I don't know. You don't know? I never got to the bottom of it. That's funny. Have you just not, still not shown your penis to her? Is that what's happening? She's just seeing an outline through the undies? Is that what's happening?

Is that she just hasn't seen it? Yeah, I mean, we'd only really been soaking at that point. Right. So I guess that is fair enough. Yeah, okay. But you would like to think that still the outline kind of gets the point across. God, disrespectful. Have a fucking decent look.

That is the interesting thing about the penis is like circumcised, uncircumcised. You can tell just by the silhouette. Yeah, right. The interesting thing about the penis is like circumcised, uncircumcised. You can tell just by the silhouette. Yeah. Right. You know, it's like the, I remember reading a thing about like cartooning and how you think about all the most famous cartoon characters and you can tell them from their silhouette. You don't even need to be looking at it. Just the shadow.

It's like, that's Mickey Mouse. That's Homer Simpson. Yeah. And it's the same for a man's penis. Yeah. Yeah. Circumcised, uncircumcised. Well, apparently. Seen silhouette. Apparently it's not the same for a man's penis. Yeah. Yeah. Circumcised, uncircumcised, seen silhouette.

Apparently it's not the same. You know, according to your girlfriend, she couldn't recognise yours out of a line-up apparently. Yeah. Yeah, she's like, he's the one with the big hat on it.

That is not mine. Yeah. That is, that is, I don't know. That's one of the beef eaters, the Tower of London. I'm sorry. Oh, it's a beef eater, all right.

Doesn't react no matter what you do. You can poke it. You can prod it. Just stands there. Yep. Get a photo with it. You can suck it off. Yep.

Well, thanks, Lauren Doyle. Thanks, Lauren Doyle Thanks Lauren Doyle Doyle It's like It's like hitting something It's like Like a cartoon character Getting boinked

Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle

Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Doyle, Heath. Paul Heath. Yeah. Still better than Heath Paul, maybe. I guess. If I had to choose. I do prefer Heath as a first name. Do you? I don't.

A bit more interesting. No. But it needs a bit more of a colourful surname. Heath Doyle. No. That's bad. No. That's real bad.

Yeah. Paul Heath. Paul Heath. You don't want to be Heath Paul because then you sound like some sort of YouTube boxer or something, but Paul Heath is... It's fine. It's like right in the middle of the road, and the middle of the road's actually quite a dangerous place to be, I'll be honest.

It's a really bad place to be. Yeah, yeah. If you're in the middle of the road, you've thought you had enough time to cross, and you've just fucked it. Isn't that funny that it's a saying the middle of the road, you've thought you had enough time to cross. Yeah. And you've just fucked it. Isn't that funny that's a saying? It's like, oh, that's very middle of the road, meaning it's very safe. But what is that? No, but you're...

You could potentially be hit by cars coming from both directions. Or it's boring, where it's like, no, that's... I'm on the edge of my seat. That should be... The most edgiest band in the world should be called Middle of the Road. You know what I do a lot is I'll... That's a really good point. Yeah. I'm on the edge of my seat. That should be the most edgiest band in the world should be called Middle of the Road. You know what I do a lot is I'll... That's a really good point. Yeah.

I'm a classic for starting to cross the road, getting halfway across and being like, I haven't timed this well at all. Yeah. Now I'm just waiting for the other side of cars to make my way across. Yes. And I stand there and I think like, oh, shit happens. Everyone's fine with this. Yeah.

But then when I'm in the car and I see someone in the middle of the road like this is the biggest moron i've ever seen in my life yes what a fucking goose yes yeah absolutely and you know what i'm but that's all of driving this is fine because i'm doing it yes i'm the worst i'm really trying to trick myself into not doing this anymore but i tend to treat traffic lights as a pedestrian as just a bit of an advisory board rather than just i just do what the fuck you want the crossing lights yeah yeah yeah yeah just cross whenever the fuck you want i think everyone kind of does that i think i'm extent i think i'm more than most people because i just watch other people react to what i do and they go what the fuck you do that that's a such an interesting thing of human

psychology is that you'll be standing there the light is red and then someone who's next to you a complete stranger will decide that they're going to walk yeah and then i think most people go all right i'm following them someone i don't know they might be trying to kill themselves yeah yes yes yeah but even not at the lights just whenever just and you know what i'm i literally think about now to i'm To try and trick myself from just going, stop. Like, there's no use. Like, you're saving three seconds by walking into traffic. Yep.

You've got a daughter. But that's it. You've got a kid in tow with you. Well, I'm not doing that with her. Right, right. But I mean, but your instinct to just do that, that must have been a shift when it's like the first few times that you're like walking around with your kid.

You're like, hey, I got to start to instill. I found myself doing that with my dog and then I was like, hang on a minute. Yeah. Yeah. No, you know what I do? I literally do when I'm by myself. I'm trying to train myself to just go by the lights,

go by the safest way possible. You know what I literally think about every time? I think about that movie, Along Came Polly. Oh, yeah. With- Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Yes. And Ben Stiller is trying to insure or figure out whether he's going to insure Brian Brown, who's like a very eccentric billionaire. That's right. Yeah. And he's going around and Brian Brown's like insistent on like jumping off fucking towers and stuff like that. And it's like, no, no, no. It's all about risk assessment.

Yeah, that's right. I can't remember anything about that movie other than Philip Seymour Hoffman when he's playing basketball. Yes. And he's very funny in it. Yes. And he's like, and Hank Azari is in it? No, that's a different one. I think he is, isn't it Yes And he's like And Hank Azari is in it? No that's a different I think he is isn't he?

Is he the one I can't remember That's a Ben Is that the one where he Yes you're right At the start He fucks Ben Stiller's Yeah

Wife The day after they get married Something like And then they break up And then Yeah He goes against all his instincts And goes out with Polly

Who's a bit all over the joint Yes Yes And she's got a pet ferret or something Right All I remember is And he goes against all his instincts and goes out with Polly, who's a bit all over the joint. Yes. Yes. And she's got a pet ferret or something. Right. All I remember is that she takes him to, like, Middle Eastern restaurants and Ben Stiller keeps shitting his pants and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So anyway, the point, the bit that I remember the most that is guiding me as I'm crossing the road is he's doing a risk assessment thing on Brian Brown as he's, like, base jumping and all this sort of stuff and like doing the calculations of like how long this guy's going to live if he keeps acting like this. And I'm like, I need to do this on myself. If I keep walking into fucking traffic,

it takes my life expectancy from 85, from 80 to fucking 50 or whatever it is. So I just think it's very funny. Every time cross the road i'm going hang on what did ben stiller say again what were those odds again yeah right i see what you're saying so you don't you're you're like you're not wanting to risk uh not crossing at the lights yes because it's gonna shave years off your life yes and yet having a whole pizza for lunch every day yes no i'm off the pizzas that's that's a much smaller risk well no but that but that's everyone it's like oh i gotta be safer in this regard and then it's like yeah you're fucking drinking every night of the you know it's like you gotta work on things in a certain order but no that's that's good yeah yeah i know yeah so anyway i'll just i think if I ever met Ben Stiller or Brian Brown, I would say that.

I'd say, you know what? I haven't been run over yet. And it's because of you guys. I mean, I don't really think, I mean, I'm safe, obviously, but I don't really think about that stuff too much because to me, there's such like a random element to that kind of stuff anyway. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like someone can run a red light and. Absolutely. Sure. I'm just, I'm just doing my bit yeah as a as a parent now yeah i'm like you know i'd i'd hate to think that wow is that first time you've said that yeah it might be as a parent yeah it might be so um that's an exciting moment yeah can you remember your daughter's first words no but i can remember the first time i said as a parent yeah yeah yeah no it's not even me i don don't remember saying it. You remember me saying it.

Well, thanks, Paul. Thanks, Paul Heath. Poor Heath. Poor Heath. Look, that's better. Paul Heath is better than poor Heath. Poor Heath. Have you seen poor Heath?

Oh, yeah. He didn't cross at the traffic lights. He got fucking run over and Brian Brown is still alive. I'm spending Christmas Day with my family, my aunt and uncle and cousin and cousin's husband, who I wish there was a proper term for. But anyway, his last name's Heath. And my dad always calls him Heathcliff. And he hates it.

And you know my dad. Do you think that's going to make him stop? Right. So he just calls that him Heathcliff just as like, hey, Heathcliff, what's going on? Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's annoying.

Classic, like he's come up with it, thinks it's really clever, gets out of the car, just the look of joy on his face. Yeah. Hello, Heathcliff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, yeah, hey, David. Yeah. What about this? You know when people have-

Because he's British. I think that's the key part of the context there too. You know when people have like a good name, like a good full name. Like say Paul Heath. Not so much. Lauren Doyle, maybe. People that you can say, oh, hi, it's Lauren Doyle. Yeah, yeah, Doyle and you just

call them by their You're always going to use their full name. Yeah you know that. Yes. I've done that

with people before and then them absolutely hated it. I'm like well technically you can't be annoyed at me because

that's your name. I'm not making up a nickname. Yeah I think it's something that I feel like little kids do it a lot maybe as they're

like starting to like really get their heads around names and stuff. I feel like anytime I get addressed by a full name, it's like an eight-year-old. He's like, oh, you've just learnt what surnames really are and that mine's different to yours. Anyway. Okay.

Well, thanks, Paul Heath. Merry Christmas. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Daniel Mitchell. Danny Mitch. Yep. Hmm. Interesting. Not that much Yep. Hmm. Interesting. Not that much, but yeah, okay.

I walked past, in the city, there's like a big building called the Mitchell Building. It's got a big sign up the top of it. And my friend, her surname is Mitchell. And I was about to get a photo of it and send it to her. But then I remembered, like, A, who cares? And B, it's her married name so it's like not even yeah i thought oh yeah here it's like who cares on so many different fronts agreed it's just me wanting to brag about being in the city yeah yeah yeah here's a name you've

had on the end of your name for about two years. Yep. What do you think? Yep. But hey, I was at the wedding, so that counts for something. Yeah. Yeah. Daniel Mitchell. Danny Mitchell. Mitchell Daniel. No. Yeah, Daniel Mitchell's better than that.

Mitch is an all right name. Mitch, I like Mitch. Mitchie boy. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I mean, Daniel's fine as well. Mitch Daniels. Mitch Daniels. That's all right.

Yeah, I like that. That's all right. Yeah, I like that. Okay. all right. Yeah, I like that. Okay. We've just decided for this week. This week the hook is we're rebooting all these people's names. Yeah, okay. Using only what's in front of us.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Lauren Doyley. Lauren Doyley. Lauren Doyley. Immediately better. So we're signing off on that? Pardon?

We're signing off on that? Lauren Doyley? Lauren Doyley, yep. Okay. Not much of a reboot, but there's something. Yeah, but like we said, it's a bit, you know, Doyle is a bit more dainty, a bit more feminine. It works better alongside Lauren. Yep.

Paul Heath, Heath Paul. I think we're fucked here. Yeah. Paul Heathcliff. There you go. Paul Heathcliff, okay. Okay. Is what my dad would call him.

Yes. So that's really all we have to go on there. Okay. And then Mitch Daniels. Okay. Right. Okay. Great.

Well, from now on, I'm hoping that all three of these people go back into Patreon and change their name to fit up with this. And then, because it's fresh names in the system, we're going to read these out again and be like, wow. That's a good chance. What a great name. That's a very... Or we're like Mitch Daniels.

That sounds like shit. Yeah. You'd be better off being Daniel Mitch. Yeah, yeah. That's a very good idea. If you want your name read out several times, there's a little cheat code for you. You're a big chance of that happening.

Someone in 2024 can have us read their name out five different times by changing it on Patreon, and if you can send us proof, chop the audio, show us screenshots of you having edited it in Patreon, at the end of 2024, we'll give you a prize. I'll give you a hot tip. There's people nearly having their name read out five times without doing anything different to their names. Yeah. So, yeah, you wouldn't have to do it too much. Do you ever think your name, your life would be different if you'd been born with a different first name?

Do you think your name has changed anything? Yeah, I think so. Yeah? Definitely. Like, if you had been born with a first name Mary Sue, do you think things would have been different from you? I think literally anything that you change about anyone's life or like, yeah. I think any small change would lead to you having a completely different life. Completely different?

Yeah. Do you think you'd be, if you were born with the name Gerald, do you think you would be working in comedy right now? I mean, I love this kind of stuff. Like, I love the thought of, like, the butterfly's wings and all that kind of stuff. Like, probably not. Although, I will say, me doing comedy is, like, if I hadn't have had cancer, I wouldn't be doing comedy.

Really? Yeah. Talk me through that idea. Got sick, went back to school, changed schools, met my friend, the aforementioned owner of Doyle. Yeah. RIP. Yes. He dared me to do comedy.

I started doing comedy. So I would not have changed schools if I hadn't have been sick. And so, yeah, that's a big one where I go, if I hadn't have had cancer, then I don't think. I might have eventually gotten to it, but certainly not at the age I did. You don't know. One of those days, instead of being at Ronald McDonald House,

you might have been just walking down the street fresh as a daisy and Bill Cosby walks along and says, hey. Yeah. You look cool. Why don't you be my opening act? Yeah. For the gigs I've never done in Australia. Just come back to LA. Did he ever come here?

I don't think he ever did a show in Australia. Yeah. I don't recall that as being a thing. Yeah, right. I think he just, for some reason, weirdly thought they didn't have hot chocolate in Australia, so he just never bothered coming over here. Because we got, like, yeah. We got lots of hot chocolate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got famous brands. Yeah. We got Milo. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, he's out of prison. He could still do a tour here.

He could still. He could. Yeah. I don't, I think it's not inconceivable that he probably would he could he could um i'm gonna look it up right now no you're right i mean i i may have ended up doing it but also then you're getting into the bigger thing of like without two years of my life being spent in hospital like i just would be a different person yes my whole life would have been different yes um i don't think he has ever no i'm wrong look there you go right there he was here in 1970

wow yeah that's interesting yeah where'd he play? The Rubber Chicken? I don't believe so 1970 Yeah Fuck He played the Dallas Brooks Hall in Melbourne Wow Yeah Capital Theatre in Sydney

Dallas Brooks Hall here Canberra Theatre Festival Hall in Brisbane Was there Like in 1970 Was there anyone in Australia doing stand-up comedy yet? That's a great question. Because I think the Comedy Store in Sydney didn't open until maybe the 80s.

Because you talk about those guys, like some of whom are still around. And they talk, like, you know, Rod Quantock talks about like starting. And him being like one of the only ones. Yeah. And even that's like early 80s yeah maybe a little but it's like 1970 yeah there wouldn't have been he would have had like a band open up for him i guess yeah yeah yeah that's fascinating i'm just reading the article here wow it couldn't have been too good of a show because a lot of ladies got put to sleep that night.

That's weird. Huh. Yeah. Anyway. Bill Cosby, everyone. Good stuff. Thanks, Daniel Mitchell. Thanks, Mitch Daniels.

Thanks, Mitch Daniels. Sorry. All right. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Isaac True. Isaac True. Yep, finally. Someone's name we don't have to change. You know what I hate?

Do you... I don't know if you ever encounter this. Maybe this is an age thing, but what really fucks me off is a thing that is, I think, a fairly recent thing that people do where you'll be talking to someone and they'll be like, oh, what are you doing for Christmas? And you'll go like, oh, going to my aunt and uncle's.

And they go, oh, yeah, true. Do you ever encounter that? Yeah. I hate that. It's so obnoxious. It's just a – I kind of felt like it was like maybe a regional or a country thing. Yeah, okay.

I just, I don't know why, it fucking irks me. Because it's just like, to me, I'm like, yeah, I know it's true. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, you're validating me. Because it's always just off the back of like, it literally will be like, what did you do this weekend? I went to the movies. Oh, yeah, true. It's like, no, back of like, it literally will be like, what did you do this weekend? I went to the movies. Oh, yeah, true.

It's like, no, I know it's true. Yeah. It's my life that I just told you something about. Yeah. It's never in relation to like, how do you feel about this? Oh, I think this is this way because of this. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah, yeah.

It's always just like the most nothing like fact about something you've done. Instead of saying, Hey, I went to the football on the weekend. Oh yeah. It's. Oh cool. Yeah.

Yeah. That's true. But it's all, it's cause it's like, it's weirdly. It's not actually, I got, I thought I had you,

but I don't. You got, you caught me. Yeah. Because it's also like, you're not asking any follow. You know what I mean? It's just so like a full stop.

Yeah. It's like, it's that real, like, it's just like such're not asking any follow you know what i mean it's just so like a full stop yeah it's like it's that real like it's just like such an annoying version of that like active listening thing oh true yeah yeah i don't know yeah it really hurts me it feels like it's a i might be completely wrong i feel like it's like a queensland thing yeah yeah yeah would that be right i i mean like i said i only ever get it from a certain type of person in response to just the most like nothing like statement about like what i've done over the weekend it's never in relation to an opinion where you go like oh okay well this person's saying this because they agree with a stance that i've taken on something yeah it's always like oh yeah true you did go to the supermarket. Yeah.

Like, yeah, I know I did. Yeah. I don't need you to fucking validate something that I did in my life. Yeah. I don't care if you believe me or not. Yeah, yeah. About this boring thing I did over the weekend. That would be a good thing to get so front foot and angry about. Yeah, I went shopping on the weekend.

Oh, true. Yes, I fucking did. I don't need you to sign off on the fact yeah i went down to iga to get some fucking apricots i felt myself get there and it's like it is just one of those bizarre things where it's like why does this get under my skin so much it's the most nothing statement yeah i think i think maybe it also comes from like the first times i started noticing it were from people who already kind of irked me. So it just gets thrown on the pile of like that's that person's thing. And if they do it, then it must be bad because I don't like them. Right.

Yeah. Well, that is his name, Isaac True. Oh, True. Yeah. Isaac True, True. True Isaac I think is good. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. Yeah, True. Yeah. Isaac True, True. True Isaac, I think, is good. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've heard of True Detective. Now he is True Isaac. That's what I would say. If I knew, I mean, I wish I knew Isaac True because when he did something that's like classic Isaac, it wouldn't be like classic Isaac. I'd be like, that is true Isaac.

True Isaac sounds like a real early noughties kind of like about Schmidt, Dan in real life. You know, there's like weird name things. You can imagine a film where it's like true Isaac and it's like whoever's in it, it's just a photo of them on the poster, not really doing all that much. And you're like, I could not tell you for a million dollars what this film is about what the fuck is this movie yes you read the back of the

the box cover and you still don't know what it's about yeah yeah yeah and it's like this weird character study where nothing really happens but that's the point of it and the quote on the back is just like uh you know everyone in the family will have a good time. And then it's from the most like obscure website or radio station you've just never heard of before. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just, yeah, that little period where you'd have like a big name and you'd be like, oh, cool, this person's in there. So I wonder what happens in there.

And then you'd go, oh, nothing happens in there. Well, I watched a film called The Holdovers last night, which is really good, which by uh directed by alexander payne who did the descendants and sideways and about schmidt i was looking up his wikipedia afterwards because i was like man i love this guy i love the holdovers i loved all his other films i'm like oh there must be some ones that he's done that i missed out on and then just just saw like, oh, yeah, about Schmidt. I just always remember seeing it at the video store and being like, yeah, I like Jack Nicholson. But I've heard this is good.

I just can't bring myself to rent it because the cover is just a fucking picture of a bloke. What is this film about? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What is this film about? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. It's funny just calling the film about and then the character's name.

It's like you could call any film about Harry Potter. About Transformers. Every film should be called about whatever. That's true, Tommy. Just like True Isaac. True Isaac. I like that. True Isaac.

Now, that is your name. True Isaac. The only one that we didn't need to reboot. No, it is. We just changed the order. Yeah, okay. Sure. Well, we did the same as Mitch Daniels, really.
