I'm mortally offended by that because New South Wales did not give birth to me And I would hate to be thought of Where are you from, Danielle? Queenslander, right? Yeah, North Queensland, of course That's so far away from New South Wales
Starting point is 00:01:53 You're disassociating yourself from South Queensland It's like a two-day drive So far away Which is a long time That's a long time when your mum's about to give birth that's actually quite a long time yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:02:07 it's a big commute it'd be great to see you on that show Who Do You Think You Are Danielle but it's like you just already know the whole back story
Starting point is 00:02:14 and they're like driving you around they're like yeah we found out this is your grandpa and you're like yeah I know I was here like last week
Starting point is 00:02:19 also I like the idea that don't they have like test tubes and stuff like for ancestry.com and it's like oh that's that's 90% Queenslander. I don't even know you could do that.
Starting point is 00:02:28 What's it say on the side of this test tube? 4X. Well, you know why we've gathered you here, guys. Congratulations. You guys know the news already, but people at home don't know the news. Congratulations on being chosen for the first reveal of the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival. You're both coming to Koh Samui with us.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Oh, my God. Feels like being on Australian Idol. I'm getting told that I'm going out. Yeah, we should have done this masked singer style. We should have brought three guests over with us. They remain, they're in costume, they're in prosthetics for the entire week on the beach. That would be good.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yes. Final night, we finally reveal. 33 degree heat. Yeah. And guess what? You've been in the pool drinking pina coladas with Cam James this whole week. Yeah, yeah. You know how you've been listening to a giant crab tell stories about growing up in North
Starting point is 00:03:20 Queensland? Guess who that was? Damn, we fucked it already. Just 33 degree heat with a huge, huge mask over your head the whole time. That would be great. The most intense prosthetics we can get. And they're all like, they're all like active things as well. We've got like the snowman.
Starting point is 00:03:39 The yeti. The giant person with 17 scarves on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Joey in that scene in Friends Where he's wearing all of Chandler's clothes But no, exciting stuff guys You're going to be hitting the beach with us In a few months
Starting point is 00:03:56 I'm so excited to be in an infinity pool With a bunch of your listeners And we're all just We're all just pissing and drinking at the same time. I just can't wait. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I hope you haven't read the fine print contract yet
Starting point is 00:04:11 because you are required for four hours a day to sit in the pool and listen to our listeners ask you where do you get your ideas from. So, yeah, that's part of it. Yeah, you've got six months to cook up some good answers to do you ever get nervous up there. But we are allowed to piss in the pool, right? That's what Cam just said. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Pissing is allowed in the pool. Great. That's allowed. It's allowed over there. The guests are. The guests are. The guests are allowed. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Oh, okay, but we're not. So you guys. Yeah. No, you are. it's the only thing is pissing in the pool sort of like with sharks it attracts listeners they actually want that so if you want listeners to come over to you in the pool that's that's what you have to do for a second i thought that this was going to be kind of like cruise ship rules where all the paying people are allowed to have a good time but we are are technically staffed, so we're not allowed to piss in the pool.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Not allowed to fraternise. Well, I would say you're not allowed to fuck the listeners, but after you see them, we don't need to really make that rule. Yeah, that's what they like to say. There's no escape in an infinity pool. You can't get out. You know what I heard the other day? Apparently this is like cruise ship law
Starting point is 00:05:26 there's been this big thing on tiktok recently about this like cruise that's going for like nine months i don't know if you've heard about this but um apparently it's like a bit of a thing on these longer cruises uh like older couples go on there and if you're like into swinging if you're into like doing a bit of partner swapping you bring a little pineapple sticker and you put the pineapple sticker on your door of your cabin. Wow. And that's the sign that like, hey, whoever's in here is like down for like, you know, mixing it up.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Why would you pick the pineapple? Yeah, I don't know. Sort of like it's not for everyone. Because you have to pay the guy $50 to fuck his wife. Right, right. You have to give over a pineapple. Maybe it's like you have to actually eat a pineapple so if you come in my mouth, it'll taste okay. Yeah, right. Oh, yeah, right. You have to give over a pineapple. Maybe it's like you have to actually eat a pineapple so if you come in my mouth, it'll taste okay.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah, yeah. It's like an etiquette situation. If I'm with someone new, it's like I'm not used to it all. At least the nice scent of pineapple will kind of get me over the line. That is a great pick-up line. I imagine that is like a pick-up move where you go up to someone and you're very clearly drinking pineapple juice. Yeah. Just as like
Starting point is 00:06:27 a clue to, hey, maybe I could come in your mouth later on. Yeah. You've just got the two-litre jug of Spring Valley that you're just fucking chugging out of, dribbling down your face. Your place or mine? Okay. Is pineapple big in Thailand? Do you
Starting point is 00:06:44 think there's like a country that has the nicest tasting cum based off how much? This is a great question. I reckon Aussie cum all the way. It's a home to the coconut. Aussie cum tastes fucking sick, dude. You could be onto something, Danielle. I mean, there's got to be some reason why they call it the land of smiles. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Okay. It's famous for coconuts, Koh Samui, so I don't know if anyone out there knows that pineapple notoriously changes the taste of your cum flavor. No. You don't think so? No. You don't want a bounty in the mouth?
Starting point is 00:07:18 You're not a bounty fan? No. Too yucky. I've loaded up on butter chicken. Heaps of coconut milk in there You know what that means Ready to go Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:28 But it is official You guys This isn't a joke You guys are the first two guests Announced for the Co-Sameel International Podcast Festival 2024 June 9 to 14

Starting point is 00:07:54 and also who's not too good that they've got shit to do in June. It's a real balancing act. It's a real specific, and that might sound like a diss, but that's actually a really, that's a rare skill to have. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It's something we look for in a guest, not heaps of success, not much in the calendar. Good enough to have the success, but not, you know, should have the success. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so great. Thanks so much. It's a position to be in.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Thank you. i also noticed people with bad management we had to submit uh we had to submit like our social media followers to you guys and like our analytics and yeah a cv i don't know about you daniel but i had to write out an essay on why i should be chosen to go to oh yeah yeah yeah big time we look what did you put in yours? I just put a lot of photos of me drinking pineapple juice and just sort of said, you do the math. Visual too. That's sort of sneaking outside the box.
Starting point is 00:08:57 That's what really got us. Yeah. We had to look into your past, you know, just in case there was anything dodgy. And there was heaps. So you got chosen. Yeah. Because you're coming on this, so you got chosen. Yeah. And because you're coming on this, because you're coming with us,
Starting point is 00:09:08 you did have to get a working with children check. So that was very strenuous for you both. Danielle, I've been on holiday. I didn't get a chance to look over your essay. Remind us again, what was in yours? Honestly, I just put lots of photos of the big pineapple in when I was there. And yeah, that was basically. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That tropical situation. Yeah. I look good in a tropical environment. I fit in the humidity doesn't get to me too bad.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I'm not going to look as bad as everybody else. Um, with the mustache. Oh my God. I'm going to look like pure shit. That's great if that's how we... I can't wait to see your red, red face, Cam. I'm going to look like such shit. It's great.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I'm going to look like shit. I'm going to be constantly doing diarrhea. It's going to be so good. That salt lamp in the background, that is what your face is going to look like. Have either of you been to Southeast Asia before? Have you been? Yeah, I went to Thailand like two, I don't know, like a year,
Starting point is 00:10:12 actually maybe a year and a half ago, and I liked it. Oh, that's right. That's right. I just stayed on an island again. I forgot the whole two weeks of me going back and forth with you on Facebook, going, what are you doing now? And what's happening now? And which part of Thailand are you in now? I forgot the whole two weeks of me going back and forth with you on Facebook going, what are you doing now? And what's happening now? And which part of Thailand are you in now?
Starting point is 00:10:27 I forgot about that actually. Yeah, I'm in the same part of Thailand. I stayed at the same place for two weeks and just enjoyed it. What podcast were you over there with a year and a half ago? Whose show was that? No, that was just, I don't know the name of any other podcast. I was really racking my brain. I was like, anything, come to mind anything.
Starting point is 00:10:54 That's actually a compliment. It's a good ad for 2024 riffing on the beach anyway. Mark Marant. You were there for WTM. Yeah. Yeah, there for WTF? Yeah. Yeah, there we go. What Thailand fuck? I went to Thailand about three years ago for a wedding
Starting point is 00:11:14 and I didn't know anyone at the wedding apart from the couple and my wife, obviously. But my wife was... Oh, apart from the couple. Okay, that makes sense. The couple, my wife. My wife was in the wedding party, so she was spending all of her time
Starting point is 00:11:28 hanging out with the bride and all the other bridesmaids. Oh, that's brutal. I just got lumped with, like, whoever these fucking guys were just for, like, a week of hanging out with these dudes. And...
Starting point is 00:11:41 Man, well, you are prepped for this festival because that's what it's going to be like. I had a good time, though, because I made friends with them because i where your wife in the bridal party we're busy yeah yeah yeah you're lumped with a with a pool full of piss and a heap of strangers yeah i made friends with one of the guys and we both went and watched some um muay thai wrestling or like you know like thai boxing stuff and he just kept telling me all the way through the boxing we were there for like four hours watching muay thai and he just kept leaning over to me and like whispering in my ear how he could beat up any of the guys that were in the ring oh man this is the most like dude's rock story just like i could fucking kill someone
Starting point is 00:12:21 i could fucking kill that guy and then at one one point, like, they started playing Eminem during, like, between songs. It was, like, loud Eminem blaring. And he started rapping along to Eminem in my face. This is the best. That's mad. I had the best time. I love every song.
Starting point is 00:12:43 We were in Vietnam in the middle of last year me and my girlfriend and the resort we were at was great we're having a really great time and we were sort of like near the end of our stay there we were starting to go ah kind of don't want to leave here we're gonna go do some other stuff afterwards i was we were like oh should we maybe like extend our stay here and then the night before we were leaving the rest of the resort got taken over by a wedding party it was all these british people and like the wedding was going to be the next day and we were sort of like all right well we're choosing the right time to get out because this would just be such a nightmare having to like spend a day here and like work you know work
Starting point is 00:13:16 around the like ceremony being in the middle of the resort but because i'd just gotten a suit tailored i was like if we were still going to be here I would put the suit on and I'd just go down and just have a crack in the wedding, just see how long I could get away with just being in the middle of this wedding, knowing absolutely no one. Because there's always someone there that, you know, it's not like you know every single person at a wedding. No, no one's ever sitting at a wedding going, who's that guy, he shouldn't be there.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Well, yeah, that's what I mean. I'm like, how long could I get away with it? You'd like to think that maybe like the bride, because it was also, it's like a destination wedding. It's people that have flown from the UK. So it's not like there's 400 people. Like how long would it get to the point where it's like bride and groom up there mid ceremony and the bride just going, sorry, just one second. Who the fuck is that? Who's that yellow man, that lemon, sexy lemon man?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah, who's the man in the lemon suit? You know what? You've just given me a great idea, Tommy, and I've got a name for it. I'm going to pitch it to film studios, Aussie Wedding Crashers. And it's just... Oh, yeah. It's the movie Wedding Crashers, but it's fucking Aussie-ass. It's just oh yeah it's the movie wedding crashes but it's fucking aussie as it's just it's sort of like yeah and it's like it's sort of there's like a bit of an amazing race element to
Starting point is 00:14:32 it where it's like you're traveling around the world to these like beachside destinations and seeing how many how many weddings can you crash in the space of singlets crashing aussies in singlets crashing Southeast Asian weddings where you're the only white guys in the weddings. You get a budget of $50,000. How many bridesmaids can you root in the space of a week? And each one has to be in a different country. This is a great reality show pitch.
Starting point is 00:15:01 This actually is good. I was thinking of feature film, but I think you've absolutely topped it by saying it's The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race for Wedding Crashing. Yeah, I'm on here with my dad. I'm so excited. So it's Wedding Crashers crossed with The Amazing Race because it's the Wedding Crashers
Starting point is 00:15:19 element, and then The Amazing Race element is running away from it before you get caught. The Amazing Race element is you've got to budge, you've got to travel around the world, you've got to week. How many horny bridesmaids at different global destination weddings can you put away with your mate, with your traveling companion? So you're sweaty and you've got the shits as well and you're trying to fuck. And you've got plastic over your tattoo that you've gotten
Starting point is 00:15:44 like an hour before. Oh, I think it's like Nick Capa style. You're in the same tuxedo for the entirety of the show. I said this on the show years ago, but when I was at uni, I used to have some mates that would, and this is insane, they would get so drunk, and then they would challenge each other to try and pick up in a pub just after they've pissed their own pants,
Starting point is 00:16:05 just to see if they could do it. Jesus Christ. Wow. That makes our idea seem classy. And they didn't think it was that weird. If Aussie Wedding Crashes was too lowbrow for you, then here's a treat. Pub piss.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah. Piss and tell, the reality show. Piss and tell. That's good. Oh, God. That's good. Yeah. French piss. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I went to, have you heard of Dirty Dick's Theatre Cabaret? Of course. Yes. Yes? Yeah. Of course I have. I went to that recently and it was at the Strathfield Golf Club and they just sort of had them into a wedding,
Starting point is 00:16:46 like an engagement party in one room and then Dirty Dick's Theatre Cabaret in the other room and it was just, you know, one of those like bifold doors that would separate your rooms at school that you could just open and slide along. And the wedding engagement party was like a real classy soiree with like silk dresses. And then when everybody
Starting point is 00:17:05 was getting there for the dirty dicks theater cabaret um i think the wedding party got confused because you had to come into the bar area and so it was all of them in their floor-length silver like gowns and then everybody else got there with like shorts and singlets and hawaiian shirts and quite overweight and um and then we went into the room and then they just started, like, singing Ye Olden songs about dicks and pussies, which I assume then just bled through the bifold doors into the engagement party. I didn't realise that was the theme.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Again, it's really good that you're coming to Koh Samui. Yeah, yeah. You're really going to fit coming to Koh Samui. Yeah, yeah. You're really going to fit in in Koh Samui. That's day three. That's what we're doing day three. Great. Just quickly, speaking of theater restaurants, Cam, last time you were on here we talked about,
Starting point is 00:17:55 or one of the last times we talked about you working in a theater restaurant, and I was thinking about that recently, and it unlocked a bit of like a core memory of mine from high school drama class. I was just kind of thinking about that. And then I watched that film Theater Camp. And I don't think I've ever told this on the show because it was buried in my head. But when I was in year eight, we would have like loved drama, favorite subject at school. We would have on Fridays, we would have drama as like a double class.
Starting point is 00:18:23 But the catch was it was like combined drama and religious education. Oh, my God. So any kind of like the drama stuff that we would do had to have like a religious element built into it, and it sucked because it's like – That sucks. I mean – You did Passion of the Christ?
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah. Yeah. Talk about dodgy the teacher. You get the drama teacher and the religious teacher. I know. Yeah. That sucks, man. You're doing like space jump and just with the 12 apostles and shit.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Space jump. 100%. All that kind of shit. All that kind of shit. When it's like that's like I knew at that age that was what I was interested in. That was like the kind of stuff I wanted to pursue. But you're just like you're so hemmed in by like everything having to be like religious based and so we had a lesson we had like this assignment where we had to like write a play um we get into pairs we had to like
Starting point is 00:19:16 write a little play together and it or like a skit kind of thing and I was like pretty pumped I was like doing this with like my best mate at the time but the theme of it had to be like it had to be like an anti-drinking thing you had to do like a little play that would encourage people to not drink and it's like we're like 15 16 we're like none of us have probably most of us haven't had a drink yet yeah and so we think it's awesome you know it's like how exciting is it going to be when we can finally drink and it's like no, no, no, write this play that's going to convince people not to drink. So you don't even know what drinking really is. So it's hard to even explain what's bad about drinking when you don't know what's even good about drinking. Well, so I don't know if it was just if what our play was was based on the naivety of not knowing what drinking was
Starting point is 00:19:59 or just us really wanting to be like, we're so jack of everything that we do in this class, having to have some kind of like, you know, namby-pamby religious element to it so this is an all boys school so this is me and my friend nick and our sketch that we wrote about not drinking was about a brother and sister that go to a party they go to a house party and they don't know that each other is there and they get so drunk that they fuck. Shut up. Shut up. They wake up the next morning next to each other and they're like, oh, my God, I got drunk and accidentally rooted my sister.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Hang on a second. Did you actually perform this? Yeah, yeah, we performed this in front of the whole class. My friend wearing a wig. You're fucking kidding me. That's insane. No, I'm not. Like I said, I think it was the combination of
Starting point is 00:20:52 we did the best of last year's episodes and thinking about your theatre restaurant thing and then watching that film, Theatre Camera, just all of a sudden this hazy memory comes into focus and I can see my religious education teacher in the back of my mind and I'm like please don't tell me I'm unlocking a bad memory here. Please don't. I can see his face. I really hope this ends up
Starting point is 00:21:12 being funny. But yeah I can't remember if we got good or bad marks or not. That's great that you think that at age 16. You don't know what drinking is so you're like oh this is what happens and then you must have got, you know of legal age, got into a pub and started getting drunk and then gone here we go oh fuck i forgot i'm an only child yeah yeah fuck anyone yeah i mean damn it yeah maybe that was it maybe i uh
Starting point is 00:21:34 yeah maybe i just i was able to write that because i had no i was like it's it goes to show i don't know much about drinking but i also don't know anything about having a sibling yeah you can just accidentally fuck right because because you said that they didn't know you didn't know much about drinking, but I also don't know anything about having a sibling. You can just accidentally fuck, right? Because you said that you didn't know that they were at the party, so they were so drunk that they just didn't recognise their sibling? Yeah, they just didn't recognise each other. Yeah, yeah. Do you still have this written somewhere?
Starting point is 00:22:00 I would really love to read that. Well, you know what? So then the next part of this story is I was like, oh, yeah, so that was with my friend who I haven't seen in a while. I kind of kept vaguely in touch with him post high school. But he did from those beginnings, he did go on to like he studied acting after school and he was in as one of the band members the In Excess film. The In Excess telemovie.
Starting point is 00:22:26 He's in that. I thought you were going to say this was going to be the great ending to the story. And that ended up being Paul Hogan. No. That guy ended up playing Kirk Pangilli in a poorly watched documentary about it. He's in a few things. Because I looked him up and he doesn't seem like he's done anything in a while.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Last thing he did was... He's probably in jail for fucking his sister. Yeah, maybe. He was in an episode of Winners and Losers. I thought you were going to be like, and he went on to fuck his sister,
Starting point is 00:22:54 which is very exciting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to track him down and touch base and see if he remembers this. I'll try and get the script from him. Man, rock up at a family reunion of his and just go,
Starting point is 00:23:04 hey, remember that script we wrote? anyone here absent because they're in jail i mean it's a fair it's a really good moral and a lesson in your play there which is like it because that can happen you know i've got two younger brothers and i know anytime i have a beer or two i end up sucking them both off so yeah i don't know yeah it is it's at that age i thought like having a crowny kind of turned you into like have a beer or two, I end up sucking them both off. I don't know. It can happen. At that age, I thought having a crownie kind of turned you into Bugs Bunny on a desert island, where it's just like, you know, you're just seeing a sibling
Starting point is 00:23:35 just morph into a sexy person who you've never met before. You just turn around and see your uncle and go, Auga! Auga! Well, Cam, maybe you and I can do a recreation of this beautiful play in Koh Samui on the beach. I can update it for a modern audience. That's what Chewing Beach needs, more theatre on the beach.
Starting point is 00:23:59 You'd never get away with that these days. We'd get fucking cancelled for putting on a performance like that. Finally, something dodgy sex-wise in thailand this is going to be exciting well you've actually that's a really good idea because we've been talking about uh you know certain things that we could do while we're in thailand we could do a music night that's something we've talked about but we haven't talked about a dinner theater night and maybe that's something that we should all – we should put on a dinner theatre show. So this – what I did in high school, this goes from being like a five-minute performance in front of a class
Starting point is 00:24:32 to like a full three act and I've got to have like – I've got to leave gaps for like entrees to come out. I like this because what Danielle was talking about, like that's a thing. Danielle, she was talking about Dirty Dicks Theatre Restaurant. Yeah. Because it's sort of like back in the 1800s or whatever. We still call it Dirty Dicks,
Starting point is 00:24:50 but it's got nothing to do with the 1800s. Yeah. The person in the show has a dirty penis. That's why it's called that. We get to the real crux of the show where it's me going down on my sister and then we pause for the meal, fish tacos tonight everyone. I reckon that's such a great dinner theatre premise. Everyone in the theatre restaurant knows that these two siblings
Starting point is 00:25:18 are going to fuck at some point. And the whole night is built around that. Yeah, and you're like, I'm not going to want to eat after I watch this, but also I'm going to spew when I want to. When is the best time to have the food? The show is all you can eat, but the actual dinner is a la carte. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your dinner on stage is all you can eat.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Oh, yeah, it's a buffet, but it's like we save so much money because no one touches any of it. The buffet's been there for about six months. People come here and they do not eat. Do you reckon there's any chance we could approach, like, Carl, you know Thailand pretty well. Could we approach a restaurant and pitch this show to them just for one night only?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Absolutely. Absolutely. I'll let you win do a dinner theatre show. Absolutely. Yeah. I'll let you in on a hot tip, Cameron James. If you walk into a pub and go, I've got more than five people with me, can I run this pub? They will say yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:15 So if we bring in 200 people, they will do whatever the fuck we want. Can we put on the white robes and the hoods and just have a little meeting? Oh, there's eight of you. If you're all joking, sure thing. Yeah. Can we burn down your venue? Yes, but there's a $100 bar spin. So if you do that, you can absolutely torch the joint. Well, I like the idea that, like I said, I was, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:36 this friend of mine, he was, you know, he was in the In Excess Teller movie. I remember it was like a bit of a thing of people I was still in touch with from school. They were like, wow, this is like a pretty, you know, it's kind of happening for him. then look at him up and he's he's got no online presence i haven't seen him acting anything in a while it's like maybe he is just looking for work maybe we dip into the budget and fly him over to thailand to to reprise his role of my sister that gets fucked by me i mean that that is that is literally selling
Starting point is 00:27:03 ice to the eskimos flying a man over over to Thailand to pretend to be a woman. I mean, come on. There's no one over there that could do this. There's no one over there that could do this. We need to chop you in. Yeah, right. I'll do some investigating with people I still know from school and see if anyone's still in touch with him.
Starting point is 00:27:24 If I can get his recollection on this. Only if you hit up those people from school and see if anyone's still in touch with him. If I can get his recollection on this. Only if you hit up those people from school and tell them why you're trying to get in touch. Oh, yeah. Do you remember the play? Do you remember the play we did? I love the idea that I get in touch with him and it's like I've just completely invented
Starting point is 00:27:37 all of this in my head. He's just got like a completely different memory. It's like, no, it was a drunk driving accident. Oh, fuck. Oh, sorry, I guess. It was a drunk driving video where I ate out my sister sorry i sorry i heard jaws of life and i just kind of invented something else in my head i thought i thought you said blow into this anyway sorry danielle no i am really enjoying. I'm imagining you in the drunk driving car crash going full method,
Starting point is 00:28:06 getting in a coma, and this is what's happened in your head. It's beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're in a coma, and it's like someone stands next to Tommy and goes, and that's what happens when you fuck your sister. Guys, don't do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I get bonked on the head, and instead of just reliving the same day over and over and over, I've invented a sister that I've also rooted. That's my 51st date. Maybe in Thailand you had so much pina colada that also she just needed to taste the pineapple. Oh, that's true. Oh, yes. You're right.
Starting point is 00:28:38 So in this updated theatre restaurant version, the play is happening. It's taking place in Thailand as well. It's not just set at's taking place in Thailand as well. It's not just, it's not just set at a house party in suburban Melbourne. It's, it's okay. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:49 It's a modern take. Yeah. And if your, if your friend can't come, if your friend can't come, then it's, everybody's in, in it and you have no idea
Starting point is 00:28:58 until the end who the sibling is. Oh yeah. So it's, we can really do a mystery. So it's like a whodunit. It's a whodunit who did it who's tommy's sister he fucked the masked sister yeah that's great that's great we've got hughesy there guessing it's like now judging from the moans i
Starting point is 00:29:22 think that might be Whitney Houston. Wow, okay. All right, this is a good... I thought we were just going to talk about you guys being excited to go for a swim and eat some fresh seafood, but we're having a real planning meeting here. This is great. You guys are officially on the board of directors now. You're on the events committee.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys are part of this. You can't get out of it now. Yeah, that's great. But maybe one night, there might be one special night where we all have
Starting point is 00:29:55 dinner together in the resort and we just make sure that the staff only bring out pineapple juice. Oh, yeah, yeah. Everyone gets one
Starting point is 00:30:00 and goes, oh, fuck, it's on tonight. This is horny night in Koh Samui. Well, I know what's going to happen. I'm going to like, you know, this is it's on tonight. This is horny night in Koh Samui. Well, I know what's going to happen. I'm going to, like, you know, this is in six months' time. I'm going to have forgotten this discussion. I actually, at breakfast, I am partial to a pineapple juice with breakfast.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Great little compliment to a little omelette or a toast or whatever. And I'm sure I'm going to have forgotten all this and just have listeners come up to me and, like, point at my little glass of pineapple juice and be like, all right, I see what's going on here. Meet you around the back of the shuttle sheds. I also was nervous about bringing up that drama play story. It just felt like it fit in with what Cam and Danielle were talking about.
Starting point is 00:30:41 I thought, oh, this is a bit of a deviation from all the Samui stuff, but I'll just wedge it in here because it's a good moment. And then now it's ended up influencing the entire week over in Thailand. I never could have predicted that it would become so embedded in our plans for the festival. Oh, I think if anybody has a camera, let's bring it. Let's do a multiple camera set up so we can send it off to a short film festival as well after.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Oh, yeah. oh yeah see what they think hell yeah yeah yeah just pitch it as a sitcom we could pitch it as a sitcom to um channel 10 or abc or something that's a that's a hell of a that's a hell of a pilot episode guy fucks his sister and then we're hoping that this lasts for ten seasons. Well, it happens every episode. I think it's going to be one of those. Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, it's like How I Met Your Sister. How I Fucked Your Sister.
Starting point is 00:31:32 How I Fucked Your Sister. Fuck my sister. Yeah. It's the ultimate episode of Knocked Up Abroad. Yeah, yeah. So it's your sister, but it's also a bloke. So it's like we have to finish here. You can't elevate that any further. So, okay, so it's like it's we have to finish here you can't you can't elevate that any further so okay so it's like how so it's how i fucked your sister so it's narrated by
Starting point is 00:31:49 someone else it's we get like a famous comedian doing the voiceover and it's like every time our main character picks someone up and is rooting you think oh well this is it we've arrived at the titular how i fucked your sister every time no it's not actually her it's not it's not actually her every time you fuck every time you fuck a man in a wig, you think, we all think, oh, this is the thing. Here we go. Wow, they didn't announce
Starting point is 00:32:11 that this was the final season. This is like a cool way of doing it. Tommy has fucked three men in wigs this week so far. Are we ever going to find out which one's the sister? We have. Who would have thought
Starting point is 00:32:23 that one concept could lead to so many different pitches? I thought Aussie wedding crashes was the best thing we were going to cook up on this episode. Why are we spending our money going to Thailand when we should be starting our production company and churning out this stuff? Also, how is Koh Samui going to live up to these ideas? I know. Yeah. I'm worried because I'm also bringing two of my sisters on the trip. I'm worried that they're going to get the wrong idea of what I bought them over for.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Yes, you are bringing two of your sisters, Danielle. You're sharing a room with two sisters. I've been sitting on that for the last 15 minutes being like now should i drop this detail in or is this well i thought that only one of them would want to come and and then the other one was like yeah i'll come and i was like oh i didn't think you'd want to come you never want to hang out and then but the other one she was so i sent you that video she's the one who caught that baby pig at Christmas. And it was a feral pig. She caught it.
Starting point is 00:33:27 She sent me a video of her holding it, and then she sent me a video. She just reached out in the bush and caught a pig. Wow. Yeah. Well, it was a baby. She sent this horrible – she was like – yeah, I was like, how did you catch it? She was like, oh, it's such a fresh baby.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Its eyes haven't even opened yet. And then she sent me a separate photo of how far away. Yeah, because they are feral and there's nothing. You do have to get rid of them. Anyway, when I was like, we're going to go to Thailand, Koh Samui, she was like, oh, what's there to do in Koh Samui? And then I sent her like a list of things around. And then she said, Pig Island?
Starting point is 00:34:02 I've always wanted to go to Pig Island. I want to snorkel with the pigs. things around and then she said pig island i've always wanted to go to pig island yes we can send her out into the jungle to hunt for the dinner that we serve at the theater restaurant like a whole family affair you did you did send me a video of your sister catching a pig and i so slowly crept through that video because i was like, I've heard all these stories about your family. I know in five seconds I'm going to see a video of your sister gutting a pig. Oh, man. She wasn't going to. There's no reason to eat that tiny pig. She wouldn't eat that pig.
Starting point is 00:34:34 But she did have to. It's a feral species, so she did have to kill it. She's an exterminator. Yeah. How did she kill it? Was it like execution style? Just a gun to the back of the head? Okay, listen.
Starting point is 00:34:48 She killed it in the humane way. The humane way. Yes, gun to the head. Okay, that's the humane way. I like how you're like, oh, I thought I was going to have to see a pig get gutted. And you're like, no, it's not like that. She killed it off air. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Sorry. Sorry to be so weird about it. She's clearly not in the business. gutted and you're like no it's not like that she killed it off air oh sorry sorry it's been so weird about it she's clearly not in the business and hold a camera at the same time that's content she could do like you know when you stay at a resort and you'll get there and there's like a list of like you know things you can do every day it's like 11 a.m necklace making on the beach you can be like danielle's sister teaches a pig-killing workshop at midday in the lobby. Now, look, you guys are official parts of the festival, so we can't really enforce laws on siblings of people part of the festival.
Starting point is 00:35:34 She's not going to kill any pigs on the festival. Good. Yeah, yeah. Not on festival grounds like Disney World. Any pig deaths have to happen out in the car park, so we can technically say that. Yeah, yeah. She wants to snorkel with so we can technically say that. Yeah, yeah. She wants to snorkel with the pigs and that's it.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yeah, yeah, yeah. She doesn't want to kill them. So wait, yeah, I don't know anything about this. Is Pig Island near Coast of the Leap? Yes, yes. Can you get there easily? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why have we never gone to Pig Island?
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yeah, well, let's go this time. Let's go this time. Let's go to Pig Island. You go on a little boat and there's like, you know, sort of domesticated pigs or friendly pigs and you can swim with them and shit. Right. Domesticated pigs on Pig Island. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Go swimming. They're not feral, so they don't have to worry. So you just get there. It's a little island. There's someone like greets you when you check in, when you get in with the ferry and then it's just, they're just running around doing their thing. Yeah. They're just, it's like this tiny little island.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Yeah. Right. So it's like a pig sanctuary. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. And the guy that greets you when you get off the boat, is he just like, guys, please don't
Starting point is 00:36:38 kill the pigs and please don't fuck the pigs either. Okay. Like, let's just swim with them. He's wearing a, he's wearing a, he's wearing an epic bacon t-shirt so it sends a bit of a mixed message
Starting point is 00:36:51 when you turn up. And this episode of The Little Dumb Dumb Club is brought to you by The Little Dumb Dumb Club. Oh, wow. Specifically, their upcoming engagements
Starting point is 00:37:01 in Adelaide and Melbourne. Thanks to all their support over the years. Yep. Hey, we do have some live shows. We're talking a lot about Koh Samui International Podcast Festival, which is a very valid point. You should come to that, 9th of June until 14th of June.
Starting point is 00:37:13 It is selling like hotcakes but more because I've never seen a hotcake being sold, I'll be honest. You've never seen someone order the hotcakes at Macca's? Yeah, I've ordered them for my daughter and not really – no one's ever gone, sorry, we're sold out. Well, there's not like a – you don't hear people in the line behind you being like, that's exactly what we were about to order. No, that's never happened.
Starting point is 00:37:33 My daughter seems to enjoy them, but I don't. But, so you can do that. You can be like my daughter and act towards the Coast of Million International Podcast Festival like she does with hotcakes. Or, if you're a little bit closer to home, a bit more scared, hey, we have some local domestic live podcasts as well, Tommy, that we shouldn't undersell. Adelaide, you guys, look, it goes without saying,
Starting point is 00:37:55 Coastal Million is selling a lot better than Adelaide. Why wouldn't it be? It's only a million miles away. But it is on 24th of February. We'd love to see you guys there, Adelaide. We have some – it is a very good week for guests, so you're going to see some big names there. So we're at the Rhino Room in Adelaide, 24th of February.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Come along, we'd love to see you. And then, of course, Melbourne. Our traditional run of Saturdays during the Melbourne Comedy Festival where every Saturday, 4.30 in the afternoon, the Basement Comedy Club. And they're always some of the best episodes of the year. They're absolute crackers. You'll see us in the little venue that provided the number one most popular episode last year,
Starting point is 00:38:32 the Sam Pang, Dave O'Neill, Tom Ballard one. Number two, thank you. Sorry, number two. Sorry, sorry. Where was my head? So they're always absolute crackers. You can get a season pass at the moment. They're still on sale at the moment.
Starting point is 00:38:45 They won't be at some point. So you can save a little bit of money if you want to come to all four of them. But they're all of our live podcasts coming up soon. We just wanted you guys to really know about them. We really want you there, guys. And we really didn't want you to just tune out when we do the ads later in the show. So we're tricking you. Get on it.
Starting point is 00:39:02 LittleDumbDumbClub.com. If you're in Adelaide, if you're in melbourne if you fancy a trip to kosamui that is where you can find all the tickets and information we'll see you there and now back to the episode back to us um obviously i'm i'm super excited for this guys it's going to be the fifth anniversary the last time that we went there so it's been quite a while it's a bit of a like it's a post-covid getaway for a lot of people that haven't been overseas yet like it's the sign that we're back baby it's a sign covid's gone i always thought the sign covid's gone when when the newspapers were back in mcdonald's but they're still not back in mcdonald's i don't think my mcdonald's don't have newspapers you know you know when they used to have newspapers and they were
Starting point is 00:39:40 and i've never sort of don't they used to be just... I've never read a newspaper at McDonald's. I don't think I've ever read a newspaper at McDonald's. I read my newspapers at Hungry Jack's. Really? Yeah. The papers are better. Wait, so do you just want to go to see if they've got the newspapers back in the McDonald's in Thailand?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Oh, that would be good. That's the test. You're going global. It's like when every continent has the newspapers back in the McDonald's, that's when we know officially COVID done. They've got the Bangkok Times back in Chewing Beach McDonald's. We're back. We're back, baby.
Starting point is 00:40:14 If Thai Ginger Megs is riding his little billy cart down Sukhumvit Road, then I know that COVID is over. So I've booked in the resort, right? So this is the insane thing, right? So it's been, we did a couple of tiny little ads in the last couple of weeks and that's all.
Starting point is 00:40:31 We haven't really talked about it in the content of the show and it's gone crazy. So we are, at the time of recording, I think we're three quarters full. It's crazy. If this is your first time
Starting point is 00:40:41 really actually thinking about it, hearing about it, get onto it because I've booked out an entire resort and the entire resort is nearly full um which is just crazy it's a new resort from last time so the three that we did in previous years that was the ozo resort we've gone to a new place called the stay it's up the other end of the beach it's in a really busy um nice part with heaps of great restaurants and bars and nice bit of the beach all that sort of stuff but do you think do you think maybe we're able to get a good deal because the stay might be
Starting point is 00:41:09 the worst name for a resort like for googling purposes stay stay resort that's and then just every resort is gonna come out yeah we've got stays for you yeah you can yeah you can stay here yeah yeah oh man it was so hard to get onto it. Because the thing is, we did three festivals at this place called the Ozo because after the first one, they got it and they're like, yeah, come back because you've got like a million Australians that don't have the wherewithal to sort of walk outside of the resort and go and get a beer anywhere else.
Starting point is 00:41:39 So we'll just sit here all day and drink and eat. So they're like, this is insane. This is the best deal. What was happening was other resorts were coming up to that resort and saying, how can we get one of these? Headhunting. How does this happen? How can we get one of these?
Starting point is 00:41:54 But it's really hard to explain to other resorts. You have to fuck your sister and then all this can be yours. It's really hard to talk to people that English isn't their first language about what this is. So officially with the stay resort, what they believe this is, is a group company party with nightly presentations. So if you can just pack some pie charts, guys, so we can just hold them up at night, every night in the middle of a podcast. That would really help us out. Well, this is what we had wristbands the last time we did it to sort of sort of you know
Starting point is 00:42:25 differentiate that people were you know ticket holders for the festival what we need for this one is we need fake company polo shirts that everyone has to wear to show that they're all part of this company retreat and name badges and name badges yeah so now we need to cook up now we need to like make a fake company a fake website we need to cook up. Now we need to make a fake company, a fake website. This is like our offshore holding account. Okay. We need new merch. We need a company.
Starting point is 00:42:51 We need a fake company that this retreat can be a part of. Yes. And name tags. A bit more annoying. Last time you just had a wristband to show that you'd bought a ticket. This time you do have to be wearing a polo shirt. You have to wear a polo shirt for five days. Every day.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Consecutive days. And it's long sleeve. It's like a nice wool-cotton blend. It doesn't breathe. Of course, your company slacks that you have to wear it all the time. The tickets are an extra $400 to accommodate this luxurious material that we're making the long sleeve polo out of. What if we made it a long sleeve swimming rashie so everybody could wear it in the pool as well?
Starting point is 00:43:32 That's a good idea. Protect you from the sun and also just funny to see. A company wetsuit. Yeah. The company rashie. That'd be good. The company wetsuit so it makes it easy for you guys to piss in the pool. Yeah, yeah, yes.
Starting point is 00:43:47 There we go. And piss anywhere. In a wetsuit, you can really piss anywhere. That's what's good about it. Yeah. Well, I think like – It's going to keep you warm even at a restaurant. Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:43:58 So I think this does give us like some kind of theme for content over the multiple podcasts that we do every night because I think maybe at least the first night we need to go on there some kind of theme for content over the multiple podcasts that we do every night. Because I think maybe at least the first night, we need to go on there and we need to sort of keep a bit of a low profile. So maybe the theme of the first podcast is we actually do treat it like it's the company retreat presentation. So we have to spend an hour. We have to come up with like some fake graphs and some –
Starting point is 00:44:22 you know, we really do have to all treat it like – Like an AGM. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can talk about the year just gone in our company. And then final night we can just let our hair down and go, yeah, it's a podcast about cum. This is good because we're going to be going through analytics and like audience metrics and what people are responding to.
Starting point is 00:44:41 That's the kind of stuff in our presentations. And by the end of the week what we have realized is that our audiences respond to dinner theater shows about incest and so the final show is putting on our demo version of this dinner theater incest show that we're going to be touring it makes sense i think uh this is going to be this is going to be great so the first night we ever did it in Ozo, like, they didn't know what was going to happen. And so then all it was is us screaming the word cunt at each other for an hour. And so then the next day, everyone in the resort,
Starting point is 00:45:13 all the other people, we didn't book out the entire resort. There was normal people in the resort. And they all got a warning under their doors the next day going, hey, if you want to maybe go and get dinner down the road tonight, that'd be probably a good idea. Yeah. So maybe that's what everyone's gonna you know that's what everyone's gonna get uh the first the second morning of uh of this the 2024 festival can everyone in this company stop pissing in the pool
Starting point is 00:45:35 and fucking their sister yeah it'd be really great well i think i've got it i think i've got what our company retreat can be we're the pineapple division of Spring Valley. We're on a fact-finding mission. Are we using the best pineapples? Should we look into some sort of trade agreement with Thailand? What about this? Because weed is legal in Thailand at the moment.
Starting point is 00:45:57 There's a million weed shops. It happened like a week before I went last time. I'm going to be stoned over there. It happened like a week before I went last time. Holy moly. I'm going to be stoned over there. I'm going to be so freaking stoned. Can you imagine swimming with pigs? I want that on a T-shirt. They're not even pigs.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Wow, I wonder what you might get up to with your sister after a few gummies. I can't wait to find out. I'm putting a pig in a rashie and bringing it back. Maybe we're a locomotive company from Australia called the Pineapple Express. Oh, there we go. That's not too bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:41 That's not too bad. So, look, fingers crossed. So, apparently what happened in Thailand was they made it legal, right? So, every second shop in, like, any touristy sort of areas, like Koh Samui and Bangkok and stuff like that, every second shop is like a weed and gummy shop because they made this, like, new law where weed was legal but for people with, you know, for medicinal reasons.
Starting point is 00:47:03 But they forgot to say that, you know, basically you have to prove that you know uh for medicinal reasons but they forgot to say that you know basically you have to prove that you need it for medicinal reasons so then every shop is now just a weed shop and there's not there's nothing to stop you they're not checking i mean they're not checking prescriptions for like dexamphetamines or anything like that so yeah why would they be checking for but that's sort of i've got anxiety yeah that's sort of under the counter i'm on the beach and i've got anxiety yeah i'm so stressed about of under the counter. I'm on the beach and I've got anxiety. I'm so stressed about getting sunburned. I need a week.
Starting point is 00:47:30 I need to chill myself out. Yeah, I've just had 17 beers, but can I have some Valium because I can't get to sleep. So they're currently looking into it and they're like, the rumour is they're going to into it and they're like the rumour is they're going to close this clause right but at the moment there's so many tourists
Starting point is 00:47:49 coming in off the back of it that they're like oh we'll just give it a few months so we're really hoping that that window is like opening as far as June
Starting point is 00:47:57 hopefully yeah I wonder like once you've let the genie out of the bottle I wonder if you can really put it back in if they're all like if they've set up
Starting point is 00:48:03 and everything if they close it in March or something like that in april every second shop is going to be open yeah yeah like it's going to be empty like man i'm excited i've never i've never hit the gummies maybe this will be my big thing for for thailand 2024 yeah yeah well you could you could take them live on stage i think that's a good idea i think that yeah, I can't see anything going wrong with that. So the Stay Resort is our home. And I don't know, I did something the other day. When was the last time, I don't think I've ever felt this nervous.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I'm scared is probably too strong of a word. But I got so nervous the other day. I can't remember the last time I've been this nervous. Have you guys been genuinely as an adult properly nervous for a while? Yeah. Yeah. About what? About lots of things. Like what?
Starting point is 00:48:51 Like no, but like probably. That's why he has that prescription for Thailand weed. Yeah. I'm nervous, doctor. Oh, I'm so nervous. I need a fucking gummy on the beach. I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack the other day. I went to the bank because I've got this deal with the resort, right?
Starting point is 00:49:12 And so now it's time to pay them. And so then I went, okay, well, I'll just bank transfer them. But I'm paying them like 50% of booking out an entire resort for like a week. And it's a lot of money. And I just went, oh, I'm just going to bank transfer this. And I'm like, oh man, I feel so nervous about this. I'm going to go into the bank. So I went physically into the bank and went,
Starting point is 00:49:35 I'd like to make a deposit transfer sort of thing. And they're like, okay. And I'm like, yeah, I just, I feel really, really nervous. I just need a lot of help with this. I just want to be sure I'm making the right decision and I'm doing the right thing. And they're like, what are you doing? And they're bringing in the mortgage broker
Starting point is 00:49:51 and the interest rate calculator. They're like, this guy's wanting to buy a house. This is great. We're going to have this guy on the look. Yeah. And I'm like, no, can I transfer $30,000 to a Thai bank account? And they're like, what? I'm not sure I'm making the right decision.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like really nervous about it. I'm like, am I doing the right thing? And they're like, what is this? Again, no one buys this. The lady doth protest too much. You've been sending money to Thailand for years to cover the other family. Oh, I've never done anything like this before.
Starting point is 00:50:24 That was all Western Union. That was untraceable. Other family. Oh, I'd never done anything like this before. I'm so nervous. That was all Western Union. That was untraceable. This is on record. I need receipts for this shit. That's what they call it over there, Western Union. You do look like you would be one of the people on 90 Day Fiancé. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Were you dressed like this? Were you in a hoodie and running shorts when you went in? Please tell me you're fucking... Maybe. Sending that much money, you at least put a shirt on. Maybe. No, I did not have a shirt on. No, no, there's no way.
Starting point is 00:50:53 So this is... No, no. This is a different resort to where Handsome Carl was. Oh, yeah. The guy that you... The guy... Danielle was on an episode I was, yeah
Starting point is 00:51:06 Danielle, this was not even that long ago But this is like nine trips ago to Thailand for Carl I just keep thinking about, yeah Your daughter Right after you'd gotten back from a resort And yeah, there was like a guy there That was like a handsome version of you That your daughter was obsessed with
Starting point is 00:51:22 That's right, that's right No, no, no, this is, this is I've never actually, this is the this is trying to get away from him yeah i was i was explaining to the to the bank manager or whatever and i was like saying to an assistant and i'm saying oh look i'm just trying to send all this money to this resort and like i'm just really nervous about doing it on my own can you sort of do it with me and And they're like, okay. And they're like, what are you nervous about? I'm like, I'm sending $30,000 to Thailand.
Starting point is 00:51:49 That's what I'm nervous about. And they're like, do you know the people? And I'm like, well, not really. I've emailed them. Yeah. And they're like, and I said, it's this resort. And I say, it's this resort. And they go, have you been there?
Starting point is 00:52:00 And I go, no. And they're like, okay, all right. And I go, well, I'm just, you know, and I've sort of been really, I've been really nervous because there's been a scam, someone that I know who's been part of a scam, like literally a couple of days before it.
Starting point is 00:52:15 So I'd been like, you know, that's in my, it's at my front of mind. It's all adding up. What's the name of the resort? The Stay. Stay. Yeah. But like, this is literally it. So I'm like, I'm getting super nervous about it. what's the name of the resort? The Stay. Stay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:26 But like, this is literally it. So I'm like, I'm getting super nervous about it. I'm like going, oh, I don't know. I don't,
Starting point is 00:52:30 you know, I just want to make sure it's going to the right people or, you know, all that sort of stuff. And I just go, surely you have some tricks or whatever, you know, you're a bank, you're like,
Starting point is 00:52:37 you know, you, you, you would come across scams and you'd have anti-scam sort of like, you know, ways to do things all the time. And, and and and
Starting point is 00:52:45 the girl goes so what's the name of it and i said the stay resort and then she literally gets on google in front of me and google's the stay resort and it comes up on google maps and she goes now it looks like it exists you're fine you can just send it i'm like it's yeah i've fucking done that before i've actually googled to make sure it exists. I'm not that fucked in the head. Someone didn't email me and just make up the name of a resort. Oh, darling, I need to borrow $30,000 to buy a resort. I can pay you back next week, I promise. Love, Carl's auntie.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Oh, well, all right. I guess that's what it is. What did ANZ have? The Falcon. The Falcon. Yeah, the Falcon. Apparently that's the Commonwealth Bank version of the Falcon, by the way. It's a 23-year-old girl in the bank Googling the state.
Starting point is 00:53:31 No, it looks like it's there. Okay, you're all good. Chuck the 30K over. Well, you know, I got my identity stolen through the ANZ bank. Someone applied to them for a loan under my name and got $10,000. So they're clearly not on it. So maybe if she had have gone to the Commonwealth Bank, they would have Googled Tommy Dasolo and just gone
Starting point is 00:53:49 on the Street View on Google Maps and seen me there and gone, hey, you're not him. No, yeah. No, look at what you've done in your life and go, no, do not lend $10,000 to him. Do not lend $10,000. He's going to spend it on buying all the rooms at a resort to put on a dinner and show about incest.
Starting point is 00:54:10 But so you sent the money through the bank. They've received it. They acknowledged receipt. It all went okay? So I've been dealing with a young manager of the hotel. Now, this is what I like. This is the guy that I'm dealing with. Because the other thing is I'd never spoken to this guy, the manager.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I'd only done it on email. And as soon as I walked out of that bank, I'd like shit my pants. And I was like, I'm going to ring this guy. But I ring this guy in Thailand. And then I realized as I'm ringing him, as he picks up, what am I saying? Why am I ringing him now? Do you think Mike White's going through all this right now with the White Lotus? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Have to go into his bank and go, I promise we've got Parker Posey on board. It's going to be great. Just send the money over there. It's all going to be good. Hang on. Hang on. Let's Google the White Lotus. Oh, that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Yeah, that's a thing. Wait, it says here that resort's in Italy. Hang on, hang on. Let's Google the White Lotus. Oh, that's a thing. Yeah, that's a thing. Wait, it says here that resort's in Italy. Yeah, yeah. They've scammed you. So, yeah, so that's, the big tip is
Starting point is 00:55:12 that that's going to be in Koh Samui maybe before or during. They've announced a lot of the cast and they start filming in February around Thailand. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:20 So it could. I saw a site that said it could maybe blow out. Some of it's going to be, there's only three choices, I think. There's only three options, and one of them is Koh Samui. Oh, I think it's that they're filming in three separate locations. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:32 So it's probably like the resort that the show is set in is Koh Samui, but then they're also filming in Bangkok, presumably. There's four seasons in Samui. Yeah, I don't know how, yeah, that would be i mean that would be cam you're i know you're a big fan of that show daniel i i mean most people are pretty everybody's if we yeah if we get a little if we get a little squizzard parker posey and mike white down the street shooting a scene god that would just make my fucking year hey want to come play my sister in a little shop I'm putting on? I'm going to put it out there.
Starting point is 00:56:09 I'm going to put it out there. Look, the stay is a very lovely resort, and you're going to get a great little bit of value for money, but it is never going to be chosen for the fucking white lotus. Oh, no, I know. But down the street, on the beach, you have to assume that it'll be around. It's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Yeah, I don't know what colour lotus we would film at the stay the yellow lotus the brown lotus yeah poof so I've been dealing
Starting point is 00:56:34 with the cluster sales manager Rationon Namnai okay but what I love about him is that he he does that yes sorry
Starting point is 00:56:44 Rationon at the stay dot com there you go guys hit him up yeah But what I love about him is that he does that. Yes. Sorry. Rationonatthestay.com. There you go, guys. Hit him up. But he's got that great thing where he's clearly only dealing with, like, Western customers all the time. So you know that thing where it used to be, like, I know that in Meribah we had a bunch of fish and chip shop owners that were Greek and they would come to this country and then change their name
Starting point is 00:57:03 because people in country towns would not be like, what the fuck is this name? So they just call themselves Bill or whatever. Yeah. So this guy, so Rashanon, so I'm not supposed to deal with him with that name, Rashanon Namnai, his name that he goes by for me, for the dumb Western, Alan. Alan. Alan. No last name?
Starting point is 00:57:23 No. Oh, okay. Like Cher. Man, if you got to... Like Madonna, but just Alan. Alan. Alan Alan no last name nah oh okay like Cher man if you got to like Madonna just Alan Alan Alan
Starting point is 00:57:30 one of the worst western names like fucking hell it's pretty good give yourself you know call yourself Elvis call yourself
Starting point is 00:57:37 Fonzie not fucking Alan Bruce yeah I like that but then I was I was thinking about You know what I think it is I think it's because
Starting point is 00:57:48 You know I reckon the biggest Thai Western crossover movie In the last 50 years Oh Okay Would be The Hangover 2
Starting point is 00:57:56 Oh Yeah yeah yeah Oh Right Okay Yeah so he's seen Zach Galifianakis' role in that Alan
Starting point is 00:58:02 And just gone Okay well that's what Cool people are called In the West. Alan. Well, I was more thinking like what we've talked about where like if you go on any kind of like ferry or if you're in any kind of communal area in Thailand
Starting point is 00:58:13 where they're just playing something that everyone can watch. I thought his name would be based on that. So you're just getting emails from a guy called Bean. Yes. Yes. Everywhere you go in Thailand, if you're on a ferry, they just have Mr Bean playing constantly
Starting point is 00:58:25 because it's like everyone in the world can watch this regardless of what language they speak let's go I'll see if it I'll find out if it
Starting point is 00:58:32 still exists but there's a bar in Koh Samui down the main street where you go in there the bar literally only fits it's smaller than
Starting point is 00:58:38 your spare room it fits about 8 people and in this there are 3 giant paintings of Mr. Bean. Yes. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:58:48 It's not a Mr. Bean themed bar. It's just three huge pictures of Mr. Bean. It's not a Mr. Bean themed bar. No, but it has three giant pictures of Mr. Bean. What could take place in a Mr. Bean themed bar? You have to drink your cocktail comes served in a Mr Bean themed bar? You have to like drink your cocktail comes served in a whole turkey
Starting point is 00:59:07 that gets pushed over your head. That would be kind of cool. There's a hole in the top of the turkey and you pour a shot through the turkey. You get a haircut.
Starting point is 00:59:16 You got the bowl on your head. You get a little straw coming out of the bowl that's like you're drinking out of that. You get delivered from the hotel in a three wheeled car.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The one where he puts himself in his little bag. You got to go in there to like drink your way out of that. You get delivered from the hotel in a three-wheeled car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The one where he puts himself in his little bag. You've got to go in there to drink your way out of there. By the end of the night, after you drink all the petrol in all the cocktails, you come out talking like Mr Bean. Either not at all or like... By the way, Danny, I love the idea that it's not a Mr Bean themed bar. They just happen to have three giant Mr Bean paintings.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Three hand painted oil masterpieces. And the staff are furious if you ever call it a Mr Bean themed bar. They're like, no, no. I mean, that's so much more. The story of that is so much more interesting to me because it's like, if it's a Mr. Bean themed bar, it's like, yeah, we just love Mr. Bean and we wanted to really honour him with this. But what that says is just that someone connected with this bar
Starting point is 01:00:13 is a great painter and they love Mr. Bean. You know what I mean? I want to know more about that person that's just in the studio churning out these paintings. Churning out beans. Also, just to be clear. What if Rowan Atkinson just came to Koh Samui and they didn't know who Mr Bean was
Starting point is 01:00:32 and this painter just saw him and thought, that is an interesting looking man. Will you sit for some portraits? And they have no idea that it's Mr Bean. That's what I would like it to be. That is a good bit if you were were like really famous in like an English speaking country, but you knew that your work had like not ever really translated abroad, like it had never been translated because it's like too verbal or whatever. And so you just go and you're
Starting point is 01:00:59 like sitting for like caricature artists in the street. Yeah, you're really doing the eyebrows. Side by side. And then other tourists are coming past and being like, holy fuck, that's Bryan Cranston. It's crazy as well because, you know, any time you walk past a caricature artist, they've always got a Mr Bean. What if, for what happens, it is just constantly walking around
Starting point is 01:01:24 being like, I sit for every caricature artist everywhere. He's getting his brand out there. It's just like Bean... For years we've been talking about buying our own bar in Thailand, having like a dum-dum bar in Thailand. Maybe Rowan Atkinson actually bit the bullet and actually did it and this is
Starting point is 01:01:40 his bar. Oh, he does. He's a shilin. He doesn't want it to be Bean themed but he just wants some recognition in there that he's bankrolled the whole thing. But you're right, Daniel. Bean is like, he does. He's a silent. He doesn't want it to be Bean themed, but he just wants some recognition in there that he's bankrolled the whole thing. But you're right, Daniel. Bean is like, he's kind of like the test pattern of character artists. You know, it's like the colour bars on your screen to calibrate the settings of your
Starting point is 01:01:56 TV. If you're a character artist, if you can't nail a Bean, pack the pen up and fuck off. You have no business being a characterature artist. That's what your greenfields or whatever you call it, that's your chopsticks when you're playing the piano. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Yeah, that's just your warm-up. It's your like, hey, look, we all know what Mr Bean looks like. He's very fruity looking. There we go. There's my cracker. It's like, yeah, right, you've nailed him. He's got the big schnoz. He's got the...
Starting point is 01:02:24 Is that fruity? Does he look fruity? He's got nailed him. He's got the big schnoz. He's got the... Is that Fruity? Does he look Fruity? He's got the eyebrows. He's got the mole. Yeah. When I say Fruity, I mean in like the pineapple senses, in like I want to drink Mr. Bean's coffee. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 01:02:36 You want to flick Mr. Bean. I want to flick his bean, yeah. I remember buying My parents went to Thailand when I was in High school and they came back with a bunch Of DVDs and one of them was A series of Blackadder But it was called Mr Bean Back in Time or something like that
Starting point is 01:02:59 And I I love the idea that that's just All part of it At some point Mr Bean could talk, and then he stopped talking in the 90s. Yeah. He's seen too much. Mr Bean BC.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Yeah. That's great. He's been alive for hundreds of years. He's just worn out the vocal cords. He's exhausted. Hang on, he de-evolved. Yeah. He, like, went forward in time and forgot how to talk.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Well, he's like, you know, you become a little less kind of engaged as you get to like your 90s and whatever. Like, you know. Well, Cam, not to, sorry, not to throw in too many plans for the week, but since you bring it up, I'm putting out a special, probably maybe just before or just after we've been in Thailand. Daniel and Cam, you're both in it. And this is something I was thinking the other day,
Starting point is 01:03:46 just to get the word out there a little bit more. I am going to burn a copy onto DVD. I'm going to get some DVDs made up with a bad cover, the title's wrong. There's just a photo of Tommy Tiernan and Tommy Little on the front. And I'm going to have a day where I just set up a little card table just on the street. And it's not going to be the version that will be on YouTube.
Starting point is 01:04:11 I'm going to film a new version of it where it's on a screen and people are watching it standing up, walking in front of it. Can I walk in front of it all day? Yeah, yeah. So I'll get a dozen of these made up or whatever and I'm going to sit on the street and see if I can vlog some bootleg copies just to make it go. I mean, it's already on YouTube, but just to make it go a bit more global,
Starting point is 01:04:32 get the word out there a bit more. Yeah. I'd love to see that. Do you know there's a guy in Melbourne who's still doing that? He's going to Thailand, bringing them back and selling them. Really? Because at Christmas. We've talked about this. you can't even get them in thailand anymore like the last time i went to bangkok there's like there was like one table in all of bangkok that i could find that had that
Starting point is 01:04:55 was like burning stuff off netflix it's like this is fucking insane well i have no idea where he's getting them but johnno's brother he's like 10 years older than him. He's like, I don't know, in his 40s, and he was at Christmas, and he was like, this guy I know, if you ask him, he'll bring you any DVD you want. Any DVD you want. He's got them all. He's got all the new ones. He's got Man on Fire 3.
Starting point is 01:05:18 You want to see that? White Lotus 4. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I didn't know that still happened anywhere i didn't know people had dvds full stop anymore that's that's what we should do we should film what we do uh with the the inbred theater restaurant and just make the new cover white lotus season oh yeah yeah yeah in thailand i yeah the dvds being phased out you really have lost such a great character because my cousin was telling me once he was mates with a guy
Starting point is 01:05:49 who worked at a video store or a DVD store, and he was like, every DVD that comes in, he burns it before he puts it on the shelf. He copies it before he puts it on the shelf. So he's just got a folder. Any DVD you want, any DVD you want, it's in there. That character type that's just like, you know what I mean? Like their big boast is they can get their hands on any movie.
Starting point is 01:06:11 That used to be an asset. That used to be something to be proud of. Did you ever have that guy that would like come back from Bali on holidays and come back on the Monday and just bring in like 50 DVDs? Yeah, yeah. Check this out. 20 of them don't work, but, you know, this is pretty cool. There's no guy now that's like, I've got this mate,
Starting point is 01:06:30 every streaming service, he's got it. He's subscribed to all of them. Netflix, Apple, Prime, Disney, Binge. He's got all of them. All of them. He's got all of them. Any series you want, he's got it. He's got Disney.
Starting point is 01:06:41 You want to come around to his place, you can watch any season of The Simpsons you want. Honestly. Frozen, the little animated extra shorts of Frozen that they've made, he's got it all. He's got it all. I've got a DVD burner if you need it. I've got one.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Do you? That's awesome. Do you genuinely? Fuck yeah. Bring it over. Let's bring it back to Thailand. Yeah, even just a player is hard to find these days. Yeah, it cost me so much.
Starting point is 01:07:11 So, guys, you are the two, the first announcement. We still have a couple of announcements to go, but including, we're still on the hunt. We're still looking for another guest or two. So if you have any ideas, like we're spit on the hunt. We're still looking for another, you know, guest or two. So if you have any ideas, like we're spitballing guests, like in terms of the Australian comedy scene, I mean,
Starting point is 01:07:32 who do you think would be a good fit for traveling to Thailand? I mean, I have a really, I really have a bit of a soft spot for what if we brought Fiona Lachlan or Greg Fleet to Thailand? You know, I think that that would be really safe and be a really positive and good idea.
Starting point is 01:07:48 I mean, Carl, I don't think that's a good idea. You know, we do... I honestly don't think that's a good idea because they're both addicts, so I think that would be a really bad idea. Ah, right. Okay. I just want to see a security dog at the airport
Starting point is 01:08:04 actually have a red rocket and actually come. Is that what happens? Do they get hard-ons when they sniff it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They come. If you're carrying that much, yeah. They come if they smell heroin.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Yeah, so that's why they sit, so the handler can see their dick. Yeah, there's a where they sit so the handler can see their dick. Yeah, there's a bit of a system. If it's weed, it just kind of gets a little bit floppy, a little bit of blood in it. If it's full mask, then that's cocaine. And if it's just shooting jeez, then you know there's heroin in that bag. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I mean, I think bringing someone like that over would be good just in the sense that, like, you know, we're there for five days. We got to churn out a lot of content in those few days. And, you know, there's going to be a lot to talk about if we've got Fiona and Greg loose on the streets of Thailand. There's going to be no shortage of stuff to talk about. I mean, imagine trying to get them on a plane to come back. It would be the entire storyline of the festival, just like where are they?
Starting point is 01:09:06 Yeah, and then it gives us a lot of content when we get back, which is also important. So you're saying, no, Greg, we're going to Pig Island again. We're going to Pig Island. We're not getting on a plane. Greg, are you crazy? How could you not want to go to Pig Island? It's going to be so fun.
Starting point is 01:09:18 All of a sudden, Danielle's sister slaughtering the entire inhabitants of Pig Island is just a footnote of this festival. Well, if that happens and we bring Greg, I think we can pass it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, weed's legal there now and it's like six months or whatever until we go. Maybe by the time
Starting point is 01:09:37 we go over, heroin might be legal. Heroin shops up and down Costa Mui Great I've got my prescription For my narrowing I get really anxious So
Starting point is 01:09:52 I've got medical narrowing Oh that'd be great No super exciting guys Yeah Rap to have you. So, yeah, if you're sitting on the fence, guys, at home, it is sold so crazy. I am genuinely surprised at how quickly it is sold.
Starting point is 01:10:15 And so now that you know two of our favourite guests are coming, I mean, surely that's locked in for another bunch of you. I wonder if putting out the kind of content that we're going to be doing over there now is going to lead to people asking for refunds. You know what? I don't want to see this theatre show. I'm out.
Starting point is 01:10:33 This sounds awful. There is a big scoop. There is a big scoop. So we've done three previous podcast festivals in Koh Samui. We only know of one official listener that lives on the island of Koh Samui. And he has attended none of the three. Every time it's happened, he's been busy.
Starting point is 01:10:50 So he's never been. He hit me up the other day and said, lock me in. I'm going to come to this one. So big news, guys. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay, great. Pretty exciting.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Just the fourth time's a charm. He's actually going to come to this one. Well, now the pressure's on. Yeah. Because I would say it's a big island, but it's not. It's not that big of an island. Also, this guy works in a business. He worked in a place probably about 500 metres away from where we were doing our shows.
Starting point is 01:11:15 And still, nah, too far away. Nah, couldn't make it. It was busy that night. All right. Well, we'd better wrap it up there for another week on the Little Dum Dum Club. Thank you, Cam and Danielle. And, yeah, very exciting to have you guys on board. Like we said, now that we've spent basically an hour talking about it,
Starting point is 01:11:32 properly, really full-on officially announcing it, get on and book because, yeah, we announced this without heaps of fanfare and also at a time of the year when people are kind of like away and winding down, it still has sold like hotcakes. So now that these also at a time of the year when people are kind of away and winding down, it still has sold like hotcakes. So now that these two cats are out of the bag and now that also people know about the existence of Pig Island, I imagine that
Starting point is 01:11:53 it's going to get snapped up very quickly. I've actually never been, so I'm keen to go. So it's June 9 to 14. If you go to our website, Little Dunlop Club, there is a whole tab about the details. You can click through. It's in a com and ticket package.
Starting point is 01:12:09 So we're selling out this little – it's an entire resort. It's just going to be us. We have the entire – there's no other people in that resort. It's just if you are talking to someone in the pool, it's someone who's aware. It's – yeah. I mean, people accuse us of being a cult before, but this is official. I've never felt more like a cult leader than right now.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Yeah, your cum's going to taste really great after you drink our pineapple Kool-Aid. Yeah, yeah. The whole pool's going to be cum and Kool-Aid. Kool-Aid. Well, yeah, genuinely very, very excited that you guys are on board. Yeah, it's awesome that you are free and keen. Yeah, looking forward to doing some pods over there and hanging out with you guys. Thanks for being on board.
Starting point is 01:12:52 It's exciting. Very excited. Can't wait. Yeah, it's going to be fun. In the meantime, you guys both have festival shows coming up. You're going on tour all over the place, Cam. You've got your show Mixtape that you've told me a bit about here and there, and it involves the theatre restaurant story.
Starting point is 01:13:13 It sounds awesome. Yeah, the beginning of this show was on this podcast when you guys, me and Conchetto, you guys started grilling me about my theatre restaurant past and it unlocked some core memories and repressed memories. And I ended up building a whole show around this year that I spent working at a horrific suburban theatre restaurant in Newcastle. There's a little more to it than just a theatre restaurant. But, you know, there'll be some songs and some love
Starting point is 01:13:47 and some nice shit in there as well. I'm touring it all around the country, so come and see it. It's called Mixtape. It'll be a lot of fun. Cool. And, Danielle, you've got a new show for next year? Yeah, it's called The Lady Upstairs, and it's just stand-up and some other stuff. And, yeah, it's just stand up and some other stuff and yeah
Starting point is 01:14:05 I don't, it's not fully written yet so I can't really give a spiel about it but it'll be fun and good Well no pressure but your last show that you did, I loved it so much, I think it's maybe one of my favourite festival shows I've seen I thought it was so great so
Starting point is 01:14:21 not to put too much pressure on you but thoroughly recommend going and seeing an hour of Daniel Walker. Well, thank you so much, Tommy. I'm excited to see the rip version of your show. I'll watch it in Thailand. Yeah, me too. Yeah, I should get you guys re-dubbed, actually. That'd be pretty funny if it's just me and your voices aren't in it.
Starting point is 01:14:44 All right, guys. Thanks very much for listening, and we'll see you in it. All right, guys. Thanks very much for listening and we'll see you next time. See you, mates. Bye. And they've done it again. They have. We have. They have.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Cambone. The Hambone but Cambone. Daniel Walker. Next time we see them, we'll be co-simile apart from all the other times before that. Yeah. That'll be co-similar apart from all the other times before that yeah um that'll be great and um hey still more guest announcements to come down the track as well so that'll be heaps of fun good folk to hang out with in a different country that's going to be heaps of fun um good folk to piss in the pool next to yep um that yeah that'll be great uh like we talked about on the on the show genuinely selling crazy i don't i don't remember it selling
Starting point is 01:15:26 as crazy as this in previous podcast vessels so um it is a limited there is limited rooms to this resort yeah and they are very very quickly selling out so if you're keen get onto that uh works back now i guess yeah yeah yeah so it means you can put in for leave and all that sort of stuff so if you there'll be some people i mean look i honestly i don't know what the fuck is works back now I guess yeah yeah yeah so it means you can put in for leave and all that sort of stuff so if you there'll be some people I mean look honestly
Starting point is 01:15:48 I don't know what the fuck is going through the people's heads that bought tickets within a day of our announcement last time but anyway that happened it would be interesting
Starting point is 01:15:56 to see like construction can happen pretty quickly in that part of the world if they really want it to if we went hey look we're six months out
Starting point is 01:16:03 we've sold all the rooms any chance you can put on an extra wing for us yeah if there was a vacant lot next door it would be fascinating to see if that could come to fruition well there was we a long time ago we looked up the what's the cheapest accommodation in kosumui and there's on the other side of the island a couple of tents that they rented out on the beach yeah for like 10 bucks a night or something like that might have even have even been less. Yeah, you're right. But it had Wi-Fi. I remember the tent had Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 01:16:28 That's right. So maybe they could rent those tents off that resort and bring them down to our resort. Yeah, that's a good idea. And they could give them to us. Have a little boat kind of moored in the ocean just out the front of the resort. Sleep in a boat. Sleep on a boat. I'd love that, honestly.
Starting point is 01:16:46 That would be very relaxing, I think. I don't. Yeah, I don't. I think I find it more relaxing being in a bed. Yeah, I think you'd be woken up by the fishermen in the middle of the night. That's when the fishermen get out there. Yeah. And we're also in a little bit of a...
Starting point is 01:17:01 Apparently, this resort, it's nice and tucked in from the main street and tucked in a little bit of a not not apparently this this resort it's nice and tucked in from the main street and tucked in a little bit from the beach as well so you're insulated from oh the beach parties and all that stuff yeah no you're right that would that would drive you insane yeah that would be very annoying so we there's a couple of like pretty pumping beach party type resorts but they're either side of us a couple of a bit down so this is all the reviews say that this is quite nice like yeah right good sleep and all that stuff yeah yeah yeah exactly um there was one there was there was one resort i was looking at that i was in conversation with and then i ended up saying no to because i read all and i was i was like neck and neck and then i looked at all these reviews of it and it
Starting point is 01:17:41 was just like all these normal people saying yeah yeah, it's in this really great spot. There was just a lot of like 19-year-olds throwing up at like 4.30 in the morning into the pool and stuff like that. So, yeah, it kind of woke me up. I'm kind of a bit of a shit part of my holiday. Okay, well, maybe we can look at the other place. I need to – I'm obsessed with online reviews. I'll talk about this more next week, but I was just in Lorne,
Starting point is 01:18:05 and I don't know if you knew this about Lorne. There is one taxi driver for the area. Oh, really? And you look him up. You have to find his number on the Yellow Pages listing. It's his mobile number, and he has one star on there. It's the one guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Wow. Like, what do you fucking want? He's the one guy in the area that can take you home when you can't get home any other way. Well, I'm keen to hear how bad he is to get one star. So, yeah, like we said in the ad in the top everywhere, hey, live shows, 24th of Feb, Adelaide, and then every Saturday in March and April, sort of,

But you buy tickets. It's a nice little lump sum sort of thing where you get the accommodation and the ticket all in one you can figure out your own flights yourself um all that sort of shit but the rest of it will take
Starting point is 01:19:14 care of you when you're over there we'll um put out you know a bunch of suggestions of what to do during the day there'll be something that we're doing every night so you'll be um you'll be able to have dinner and drinks and watch whatever the fuck we're on about.

And yeah, there's still plenty of, believe it or not, Tommy, things I haven't done there. So I'll be keen to sort of explore a few things as well. Like any kind of culture, for example? Yeah of culture for example yeah there's still a few um a few i've never been to the mcdonald's there it's a good one yeah i remember they had a uh carbonara pie the first time we went there yeah and i thought i've got to try this yeah at some stage walking home at night.

Starting point is 01:21:36 wheel edition i believe all of these people have said how come you haven't fucking read my name after five years and i've said that's an excellent question why haven't i and my name out after five years. And I've said, that's an excellent question. Why haven't I? And the answer is right here, guys. It's being read out now. Yep. That's why not, because I was saving it for this episode. Especially a beautiful name like Brendan Fisher. I know.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Woo! Yeah, yep. One of Brendan Fraser in the whale. Brendan Fisher hoping to catch a whale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Brendan Fisher out there waking up, knocking on the door of Tommy Dasso's little houseboat in Chewing Beach. As he's being, Brendan Fisher's off his head from the arc bar up the road.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Yep. And he's out there tripping off his guts trying to land a trout or two. One of those magic mushroom milkshakes. Yes. And he's so off his gut, he's gone up to the little houseboat that you've got, thrown the line in and hooked you. Hooked my little dicky. Yep.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And he's trying to wind it in. It's like that bit with Ben Stiller in Something About Mary. I've got the hook in my mouth. I'm being yank like that bit with Ben Stiller and there's something about Mary I've got the I've got the hook in my mouth I'm being yanked backwards and he finally gets your dick and he goes I better chuck that back in
Starting point is 01:22:50 it's not big enough yeah I'm pretty little it's pretty good I'm a little fella I'm a little man isn't that funny what are the things
Starting point is 01:23:00 about like specific like vocations that like everyone knows like do you know what I mean everyone knows the thing about like oh like vocations that like everyone knows? Like, do you know what I mean? Everyone knows the thing about like, oh, you got to throw the fish in if it's. Do you know what I mean? It's like such a specific thing to being a fisherman. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:12 But just everyone knows that that exists. Yeah. Everyone knows that that's a thing that you have to do. Yeah. Whether or not they've ever held a fishing rod in their life. Yes. Little ones have to go back in. Yes.
Starting point is 01:23:22 It's, well, what do you know about being a plumber, for example? A lot of ass crack hanging out. Oh, yeah, there you go. When you go down on your hands and knees. There you go. Plumbing away. There you go. Eat a mushroom that makes you real big.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Yeah, that's true. It's very funny that they made Mario a plumber and then they like, they have never, the movie had a little bit of him doing his plumbing gig on the side before he goes into Mushroom Kingdom world. Yeah. But in the games, it's never, it never comes up. Right. Hang on, what do you mean?
Starting point is 01:23:55 Super Mario. Yeah. He's a plumber. Yeah. That's part of the law. Yeah. Of Super Mario. Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:00 But when you're in the video games. Yeah. It's never coming up. He's never actually doing any plumbing. He's never doing any plumbing. Yeah, right. It's just one of those funny things that like, you know, 1985 when they invented Ninja Pan, they're like, oh, he's a big plumber.
Starting point is 01:24:12 And then now it's like, oh, yeah, why did we say that? There's no level where you have to fix a tap or anything like that? No. There's no giant shit that's clogged a toilet in the middle of Mario Kart? You can't pull over you can't overtake wario and then pull over and actually pull a turd out of the dunny no you can't you can't do that to my no well i mean look they're they're they're probably going to be announcing a new console this year so maybe that's part of the plans they've got for the
Starting point is 01:24:39 launch of it mario's finally we've got a new character he's mario's apprentice right that would be good i mean you know to finally bring him back to what he is i think that's a really good angle you should take mario back to his roots yeah and people think that means like oh it's like the old graphics it's like no no no the actual the roots of like before we met him in the video games yes like wonka like that movie is coming out now because that's the funny thing is like the two Mario movies they've made, the one in, I think, 1993 with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, famously terrible. That starts with him in Brooklyn as a plumber.
Starting point is 01:25:16 And so last year they had another go at making a Mario movie. They made an animated one. It's like this is going to be Nintendo actually kind of involved in this, so it's going to be a bit more. It in this so it's going to be a bit more, it's a cartoon so it'll be a bit more in line with like the flavour of Mario
Starting point is 01:25:29 that you want for the games and that one opens with him being a plumber in Brooklyn as well and it's like, this has never featured in any of the games at all.
Starting point is 01:25:36 Why are we so, I don't care that he was a plumber at one point. I don't need to see him on the job fixing a toilet. Show me him fighting a big dinosaur. Yeah. Well, either that or show him on the job fixing a toilet right show me him fighting a big dinosaur yeah well either that or show him on the job in a video game yeah yeah do something if they went
Starting point is 01:25:51 it's a tie-in when the movie comes out new games coming out and you think oh cool a little platform where you're running around no no no you're just going from house to house fixing toilets yeah it's the world's most boring video game but we need to tie it into the movie you could make that fun you could make you could turds out of a toilet fun well you know you've got all these like controllers for consoles now that are like motion you know motion control stuff so you could do the like you hold the control and you're like working it like a plunger to get a big shit out of the toilet you're like turning a wrench you could play double player game one player takes the shit.
Starting point is 01:26:25 The other one pulls it out. This kind of stuff does exist already. That's good. But just not, they've never thought to put Mario into it. Plumbing simulator. Double player one of you taking the biggest shit you can
Starting point is 01:26:36 to try and beat Mario. You can win the new Mario game by taking a really big turd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. There's one that's out that's like a, it uses motion control stuff and it's like, one of them is like you hold both of the controls on your knees
Starting point is 01:26:50 and there'll be a lot of mini games that you do that involve you like squatting. So like it registers if you're putting your feet up and you have to hold a pose. So that could be it. You hold the controls on your knees, you're then squatting. And it's just basically until you get up from the squat,
Starting point is 01:27:04 you're just curling out the most mat so when your when your thighs give out then that's the shit that you've created that then player two has to
Starting point is 01:27:12 fucking pump away with the plunger until their biceps just give out and they go I can't do this anymore this is like Wii Sports is it?
Starting point is 01:27:19 yeah yeah pretty much yeah yeah yeah but Pooh Sports Pooh Sports I do remember that of like yeah following video games and like the the point where Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Pooh Sports. Pooh Sports. I do remember that of following video games and the point where they announced the Wii and just being like, God, why have they called it this? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Why the fuck have they called their new console this? This is so stupid. Well, congratulations, Brendan Fisher. You fished that content right out of us. Exactly. That's good shit. That's a good little riff you just caught out of the river. This is a dumb-dumb club, filthy casuals crossover.
Starting point is 01:27:49 The riff river. You've caught a big one. Don't chuck that one back. Yep. Unless you're Mario getting out a really small turd. That's a new plumber thing that they share with fishers. Oh, right. You've got to throw it back.
Starting point is 01:28:02 If you've caught just a little pebble shit, you have to throw it back in the toilet. Oh, I thought you meant if you take a shit and it's too small, you have to like push it. Throw it back up your ass. You have to push it back up into your anus and wait until you've got like a... Throw the brown trout back up. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:14 Yeah. That's the thing. We can try that from now on. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Ben Tadgel. Ben Tadgel? T-A-D-G-E-L-L. Huh. Yeah. Huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:28 It's a Tad... I mean Tad... Tadgiel. Jesus, falling at the second hurdle. Do you know... I had so much fun with that first one. He's not been on the show and I don't know him particularly well, but Luke Kijal, the comedian who some people might know online presence i saw him announce a tour and it was
Starting point is 01:28:49 like brought to you by keg keg entertainment keg keg touring yes and i was like i wonder what this is and i look it up it's kidgill entertainment group yeah is what it stands for yeah yeah i like it a lot yeah i like it a lot we should do we should do the same thing just dum-dum not that entertainment have our own company that's just named after us yeah but you give it an acronym so it's like sounds impressive on a letterhead yeah and then you look it up and it's like it's just this guy's name. Yeah. I really like it. I do like that sort of business where you do make everything sound like, you know, it smacks of that like little thing that people do where they go,
Starting point is 01:29:34 yeah, this company, blah, blah. And then they ring the number and it's like, hello? 100%. Oh, that's just you though. Well, you know, if you're doing the comedy festival, if you don't have management or whatever, and it's like, oh, that's just you though. Well, you know, if you're doing... Pretending to be a receptionist. Yeah, and if you're doing the comedy festival, if you don't have management or whatever, and it's like publicist contact, producer contact.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Yeah. And it's just you having to put you and it's like, yes. Hey, yeah, can we schedule an interview with Tommy Dess? I'm like, yeah, let me have a chat to him and get back to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All that sort of stuff. Yeah, a bit of that going on. I want to interview him on stanley tucci's
Starting point is 01:30:05 searching for italy yeah i think he could do that yeah i think he'd be down for that yeah i like that with uh yeah comedy festival sort of red jays yeah i need to know who to who to call for you know publicity yeah i reckon no one's ever called me in 15 years so um you know i reckon i could just put triple zero in there and yeah wouldn't really matter. Oh, right. So then the ambos are being interviewed about your show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finally. The one time they do. They're like, well, we don't know who he is, but we can tell you how to do CPR.
Starting point is 01:30:34 Yeah. Yeah, that'll get people in. They start doing those sort of announcements they do every now and then where it's like, look, you know what? It's really emergency services. Their time is really valuable. So if you can not crank call them or get street press to ring them up yeah that would be really great someone died the other day because in press rang them up to do a to ask them to pay for a feature yeah in this in the local
Starting point is 01:30:55 street rag and um yeah a man died of a stroke because of that well i told you uh off air i went the other week to see moulin rouge and i saw a rare thing of understudy jumping in mid-performance because one of the actors had, I don't know, a heart attack or a stroke or something. And I was just thinking about how just the nature of the understudy, like it is so weird that you have to know the whole thing, you have to be there every night ready to maybe go on and then 99% chance probably not,
Starting point is 01:31:26 and just sit there backstage in makeup and your costume like a little fucking idiot. But I was like, I love the idea of having a comedy understudy where it's not like you're sick and you can't go on. It's like someone that knows all your material and you're like, I'm bombing. It's time to get the understudy up here. Maybe he can do a better job with this.
Starting point is 01:31:45 Yeah. Yeah. The audience hate me. Yeah. Maybe they'll like these jokes coming out of someone else's mouth. I've pulled a vocal cord. Yeah. Halfway through my five-minute spot.
Starting point is 01:31:56 I've pulled a funny bone. Quick. I'm bombing up here. Yeah. I've forgotten the punchlines. Yeah. Quick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Curtain comes down. Yeah. The role of Carl Chandler will now be filled by Nick Capper. I was in a cafe the other day. That sounds good. That sounds actually good. Man, I just, I walked to your house today
Starting point is 01:32:16 from my house. It's a nice little. A classic move. Yeah, it's a nice little walk. It's a nice little leg stretcher. But I did walk past, I walked all the way up Victoria Street, which is a bit of a, sort of a rougher, sort of a part of the world,
Starting point is 01:32:31 I guess, in terms of like, sort of CBD-ish Melbourne. It's a weird one. Great restaurants. Yes. One of the best places to go to eat. Yes.
Starting point is 01:32:39 And one of the, also the best places to go to shoot up. Yes. And walk past like an IGA. I'll put it on the socials. Walk past an IGA where the whole door was just full of like, yeah, this person stole all this stuff. And it's like, you know, sometimes you'll see that. You'll see one picture or whatever.
Starting point is 01:32:58 This is like the whole door is full of people. Yeah. Don't come back in here. We caught you on CCTV. Don't come back in here. And there is on CCTV. Don't come back in here. And there's a picture of a man who looks exactly like Nick Capa. Fuck yeah. It's not that far from where he lives.
Starting point is 01:33:12 Well, speaking of Victoria Street, I don't know if we've ever said this on the show or just in person, but Abbots Yard, a venue that you and I are slightly obsessed with. Yes. It's on Victoria Street. It's like an outdoor bar and beer garden. Yep. It seems to never be open. Sounds like a great idea, but never open.
Starting point is 01:33:33 Anytime you go past on a nice day, not open, and then it'll be like forecast for showers, and you'll see on their Instagram, great night to come on down, guys. We're open from six. Yeah. Anyway, so my friend works on that. Which, by the way, I walked past.
Starting point is 01:33:45 I was saying this to Nick Caparotti's wife the other day. We had dinner down there a few weeks ago. And on the way home, I said, I'm going to check out to see if Abbott's Yard is open, knowing this whole shared story of it's never fucking open. And as I walked home, it started to rain. And I looked in there, and there was, of all nights for it to to be open it was open yeah and there was three people watching on the big screen csi miami well i want to make sure i don't butcher this story but um my uh my friend uh she works on that street and they had their um they had their work christmas party
Starting point is 01:34:27 at abbott's yard she was telling me she's like yeah yeah it's it's this afternoon it's at abbott's yard and i was like well i'll be fascinated to hear how this goes because it seems to never be open and she said yeah we're in the office there um we're all obsessed with it too in the office and uh god damn where has this gone um so yeah she she's like yeah i'm like i don't think you're gonna have your christmas party at this place it's never open yeah and she goes yeah yeah we're all just that's part of why we booked it it's just we've all because we they were they walk past it every day so they're like the morbid fascination of it. Yes, great. So she – I'm glad more people are on board with it.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Yeah, I know. I thought when I brought this up, I really did expect it to be like a, what the fuck are you talking about? But it was very validating. So then she sends me a photo of her and her colleagues in there. It's like proof they were open. And I'm like, I still honestly don't believe it. And she said, get this.
Starting point is 01:35:22 Our event started at 2.30, but they don't usually open until 5. So they'd get an exception slash extension for their liquor license. And then we've rocked up and they didn't. So we can't get a drink for a couple of hours. Great. Great. So they sat in a venue for two and a half hours and didn't drink. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:41 Or I think it was like they were maybe like, but like they had, they just, who's running this operation? Man, I'm fascinated to know because it's one of those ones where you go, is this something else going on here? Reach out. I don't know what's going on. If you know anyone connected to the Abbots Yard Association, if you work there, if you have anything to do with them,
Starting point is 01:36:04 hit us up. Not even if you've got part of it, if you've got your own theories, if you're in and around Richmond and Collingwood and Abbotsford and stuff like that, and you've got any theories about what the fuck is going on with this huge area of town that looks like it would be a great venue to be open when it's nice weather, but never is. Yeah. It looks, I think there's like a couple of like food truck kind of things in there. Hit us up.
Starting point is 01:36:28 You know, you could sponsor the pod because at the moment this is an anti-ad. We're saying don't bother ever trying to go there because it seems to never be open. But get us in there. Give us a bit of coin. Put on a bit of spread for us. And then we can say definitively, officially, look, we went there and it is actually open. Every week. can say definitively officially look it's we went there and it is actually open every week every if you sponsor us
Starting point is 01:36:46 every week we can tell you the we can give us a list of the bizarre times you're open yes and we'll read them which I assume change week to week yes so we can do our yeah we can
Starting point is 01:36:56 do the like yeah every Wednesday you get to find out when Abbots Yard is open for the next week yes we can do a live pod from there yeah I'm gonna be close we'd be doing it to it'll be a quick it'll be a short one yeah we'll have to do it in open for the next week. Yes. We could do a live pod from there. Yeah. I mean, it'll be close.
Starting point is 01:37:07 We'd be doing it to ourselves. It'll be a short one. Yeah, yeah. We'll have to do it in the 15-minute window that they're open from 11 a.m. until 11.15 a.m. In the middle of a monsoon. Yeah. Yeah. On a Sunday.

Starting point is 01:37:34 Gin and Tonic Jimmy Tony Jimmy Thomas sounds like Kind of a name You know when Like on any sort of Like show Where they have
Starting point is 01:37:41 Where they'll have Like a Made up Famous old rock star you know they try and do like a mick jagger character yeah like did you ever watch the episodes of californication that tim minchin is in basically playing basically being that sort of character anytime like you know sort of like russell brand's character in um what's it called real life uh yeah forgetting sarah marshall yeah you know that kind of like legendary rock star guy.
Starting point is 01:38:06 Jimmy Thomas sounds like the name of like a rock star, like a fake rock star in a show like that where you would be like, I'm not buying this. Like it's always borderline. It's always someone dressed like fucking Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes. There's always someone with a bit of open chest action.
Starting point is 01:38:22 Yeah, just too many rings on, like bad wig. And it's like, this isn't, I'm not buying this at all. I know, but the shame is I think they're still out there. Like you look at it and go, this is just a bad caricature. This doesn't happen. But then I was talking to a mate the other day and they had to deal with someone like this. And I was like, no, this is real.
Starting point is 01:38:39 This still happens. But it's not the personality type. It's just like the way they're always portrayed. And they'll have a bit where it's like the personality type. It's just like the way they're always portrayed, you know, and they'll have a bit where it's like they're talking about what their big hit song back in the day was, and it's like, that doesn't sound like a hit song from the 70s. My least favorite thing is always like when you watch sport,
Starting point is 01:38:59 they're getting better and better at it, but when they try and recreate sport, say there's like a football documentary. Not documentary, sorry. Oh, yeah, showing like faking sport. Faking sport. Yeah, yeah, it's tough, isn't it? It's terrible.
Starting point is 01:39:13 Yeah. It's always like, this looks like terrible training. Yeah. You're trying to go, this is the story of Lionel Messi, but played by someone who plays at 11 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Well, I guess I didn't – I mean, I don't know enough about NFL or just American football to know how accurate this was. But I always thought Friday Night Lights seemed to have done a pretty good job of it.
Starting point is 01:39:36 Yeah, I mean, I'm in the same boat. But they're pretty close in there. They just kind of like – And also, we're coming from – we're just the fan of the drama rather than the sport itself so we're like oh it all looks good but any nfl fan i'm sure is watching that going there was a this there was a movie that came out last year that was like an anime japanese animated film about a basketball team and it's like a continuation of this like long-running comic and series and it's most of it's like on the court
Starting point is 01:40:05 action but it's fucking mad because it's all animated so there's no like they don't have to do any of that like fake you know what i mean like they can get right in there right and do it really convincingly yeah like you're not having to suspend disbelief and go oh yeah this is an actor pretending to be really good at soccer yeah it's like they can just have it look exactly how they want it to look. And it was fucking awesome for it. Yeah, great. Jimmy Tommy, gin and tonic. What's your favorite spirit, Tommy?
Starting point is 01:40:41 I guess I like a whiskey. I just don't ever really drink spirits all that often, I have to say. Maybe a whiskey. Yeah, if I was going to... With anything? I like a little... I mean, I like a highball. I've talked about this before.
Starting point is 01:40:56 What's that again? Whiskey, pint glass, a lot of ice, whiskey, soda water. Okay. I don't think I've ever had one. They're great. Okay, maybe I'll try it. Yeah. You're a vodka man.
Starting point is 01:41:10 You like a vodka soda. Yeah. Always looking after my figure, Tommy. No, I can tell. Yeah, thank you. You never know when it's going to come in handy. The wife beater that you insist on turning up here in every week. I also wear one.
Starting point is 01:41:25 Yes, it's good shit. Well, you know, look, the countdown's on, Tommy, for Koh Samui. Get the rig in action. Yeah, yeah, I know. It was mentioned the other day by someone. It's like, yep, the countdown is on. So, yep, only about five months until I stop eating pies. Which is annoying because I was planning to blow out in 2024.
Starting point is 01:41:47 Yeah. So that's really gone. When we did the episode the other week after we recorded, Hughsy asked me if I've been working out recently and, God, it felt good. Yeah, he's a good one for that stuff because he gives me a look up and down and goes, you're in shape. What are you doing? What's going on
Starting point is 01:42:05 well i mean you know i'm doing my f45 i'm going through little periods where i don't get to go as much as i would like here and there but it's like he just asked in this way of like if you put on muscle what's going on your arms look bigger and i'm like i don't know like i'm not doing any of the body scan stuff like i'm going regularly enough that like i would hope so but it's like i don't know how to answer that question yeah i've been working out i'm getting fucking jacked bro yeah well it's nice to hear from the physical specimen like hughes yeah a man that knows what he's talking about um well thanks jimmy tommy thomas james let's be clear. Thanks, Thomas James. Thanks, TJ. Again, a reminder, this is a Squeaky Wheel edition.
Starting point is 01:42:49 Oh, these are all Squeaky Wheels? Yes. Oh, okay, I didn't realise that. If anyone out there is a Squeaky Wheel that's sort of thinking to themselves, haven't had a mention, I've been on the hook for a while, haven't had a mention, you could be in one of these editions. Yeah, but then you do these call-outs and you get people who've been on for like a week. Yes, well, that's not...
Starting point is 01:43:04 You have to actually be... What's the threshold? What's the bare minimum? Let's say a year. A year? Yeah. A year without a mention. Yes.
Starting point is 01:43:11 If that's you, get the receipts out, get a little... Go back through the credit card statements. Let us know on the socials, on Facebook, in any of our Facebook groups, whether it's people aware of the Little Dumb Dumb Club or in the Patreon-only subscriber group called, what's it called, Little Dumb Dumb Club Millionaire Group, or just give us an email or whatever. But it should have, if you're going to be the squeaky wheel to kind of help get it through,
Starting point is 01:43:38 provide a screenshot of the confirmation email from Patreon of when you signed up with of when you signed up yes with the date visible sure and it has to be from at least january 2023 yes yes please all those things need to apply otherwise please do not waste our time yeah um thanks thomas james thank you very much to patreon subscriber oh this is the first time i think this could be the first time this has happened on the show. Back to back. I don't know whether they're related or what. Anyway, thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Jennifer James.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Whoa. Yeah. That's Thomas James and then Jennifer James straight after. I mean, maybe this was like, you know, Tom's at the dinner table and he's telling his wife, you know, he's tasseled Carl and he said he's going to put me in the next thing. And she's like, well, we signed up on the same fucking day. Yeah, yeah. I better get
Starting point is 01:44:28 I'm going to start hassling as well. We gave a Patreon subscription to each other for Christmas. Yeah. And yeah, so I should be read out in the same one that you're read out in
Starting point is 01:44:36 and which has happened. So Merry Christmas the James family. The mutual gift. God, it's a fucking lifesaver. Did you do that this year? I did not. We did not.
Starting point is 01:44:47 I bought us tickets to Moulin Rouge as my Christmas present to my girlfriend. And what did she give you? She gave me a few different things. Oh. Yeah. Oh. One of which was Matthew Perry's book. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:45:07 Was that a well-received present? Yeah, I'd been saying I wanted to read it. Oh, really? But I wanted to read it like at the time when it came out. Yeah. And I wish I had have because it's tough going now. The start of it is all very much like, yeah, you know, a lot of stuff's happened to me i've
Starting point is 01:45:25 done i've i've i've you know done a lot of bad stuff i'm so lucky to be alive and i just think about like how close i've come to death so many times and it's like oh my god this is tough going yeah this would be very like inspirational if i hadn't read it the week it came out. But it's a bit like, oh boy. Yeah. Spoilers. Very hard to find, apparently, she was saying. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:53 Really? Yeah, I guess people all snapped it up when he died. Yeah, for sure. I don't know. I think it would have been, I could imagine it being a thing where initial interest in it when it first comes out, anyone that's super keen is getting it then.
Starting point is 01:46:09 Then it's maybe languishing in some bargain bins for a bit and then it's like, you know, he dies and people are like, hey, you know what? I really loved Friends. Oh, that's right. He bought that book out. And there's like a bunch of stuff that's in there that kind of got shared around about like how he had talked about
Starting point is 01:46:22 how he wants to be remembered and all this stuff. So I'd probably put it back on people's radars well especially in the lead up to christmas as a gift listen and with an as an experienced author as a published author you know in my experience yeah i've been the author of funny buggers i just i i in my experience i don't really think it's hard to get a book you can because for that example you can always get a copy of that book. Right. No, but he actually wrote his book. Oh, okay. Right. In my experience, it's very easy to do.
Starting point is 01:46:49 Nothing ever runs out. Well, Jennifer James. That could be – it sounds a lot like Jenna Jameson, one of the all-time great adult film actresses. This could be her. This could be her. This could be her spending her... Under a really lazy pseudonym. Yes.
Starting point is 01:47:09 Yeah. Just in case she gets banned from Patreon for being too nudey. That could be a thing. If there's too many nude pictures of you on the internet, you're not allowed to be part of Patreon. Yeah, well, Patreon don't want themselves to turn into OnlyFans. Yes, that's it. That's it.
Starting point is 01:47:26 That's it. So you've got to sneak through. As a previous full-time nudie lady, this is her new pseudonym, Jennifer James. Appreciate it. And thank you for spending all your ill-gotten gains. Yep. And I certainly look in the 90s. I certainly enjoyed your work multiple times a day.
Starting point is 01:47:47 Did Patreon actively go, no pornos on here? And that kind of led to OnlyFans being able to thrive in the way that it did? Maybe. Because if so, that's stupid. That's got to be one of the worst calls in the history of business. I'm sure you can look this up pretty quickly but how much is patreon worth and how much is only fans worth well i never realized until recently someone was telling me this only fans didn't like they they you know it was just a i think like a
Starting point is 01:48:16 weird coincidence or just the fact that they would allow it that it has become so porno based but their intention was not necessarily to be that it wasn't law I always assumed it was launched as a hey you know what people do this thing on patreon maybe people would want to sell nudes on a similar platform but they really did think it would just be like hey it's for your fans we're gonna
Starting point is 01:48:37 we're gonna take patreon on it their own game oh what says here from gen 2023 patreon has a post-money valuation of $4 billion. Okay. And then in this article... How much of that do you think is down to us? And then it says here in this article, in 2022, OnlyFans had revenue worth $2.5 billion.
Starting point is 01:49:03 I don't know what that means. And what Patreon was for. But I guess they're kind of different things. Patreon has been around kind of longer, I guess. Also that, yeah, OnlyFans 2022, there's still another year or two of growth there as well. Oh, there's growth, all right. Yeah. Do you have an OnlyFans account?
Starting point is 01:49:25 I do not. No. Never been on it. Yeah. They've emailed me being like, why don't you start an account and put your little comedy on here? Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:49:34 I'm like, I don't know why I would do that. Right. But you haven't joined to be a fan of someone else? No. What about you? Promise? Yeah. Okay. No, I haven't. I. What about you? Promise? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:49:46 No, I haven't. I haven't even. It's like TikTok. I haven't even. I wouldn't know how it works. I assume it's just like the same as Patreon. Right. This does really sound like two people pretending.
Starting point is 01:49:58 Yes. Yeah, I assume it's just you. You're on a site and you just get posts. You just get email notifications when someone posts a new racy photo. Yeah. Well, Jenna Jameson predated all of that. She was... I remember being in a share house
Starting point is 01:50:18 and her being the biggest porn star in the world and someone asking me, why is she the biggest porn star in the world? And us having this long conversation about it, trying to break down why is she the biggest porn star in the world and us having this long conversation about trying to break down why she was the number one woman that the most people wanted to jack it to yeah and try really trying to analyze yeah why people's dick got hard yeah and what did what was the i think that's i just remember the takeaway just just walking away from it being like wow i was part of a dumb conversation there.
Starting point is 01:50:45 But what we got out of it was maybe she had sort of like a bit of a wholesome look, but very, you know, very stereotypical. Like, yes, big boobs, blonde hair, red lips. Yeah. And probably just when things were getting legitimized. Like, right place, right time? Right place, right time. I think, honestly, the name does count for something. That, like, recognition, it's, like, easy to remember.
Starting point is 01:51:12 It's, like, it rolls off the tongue. You know, there's something very, like... Also, yeah, I think it was good in a time where porn stars always used to be called, like, Crystal and... Right, right. That could just be... Just, like, stripper names and stuff. That could just be. Just like stripper names and stuff. That could just be someone's name.
Starting point is 01:51:26 And in fact, it is basically someone's name that's supporting us on Patreon. Is it? Jennifer James. Yeah, it is. It is. Well, it could be her. Well, thanks, Jennifer James, if that is your real name. Thank you for everything.
Starting point is 01:51:40 Money and a lot of fond memories in the 90s. All right, we've got one more.

Yeah. I'm starting to feel like I'm about to fall asleep at the wheel. And now after this, I get the pleasure of sitting down and editing.
