Four of them, consecutive Saturday afternoons, then 13th of April, and then 20th of April. Four of them consecutive Saturday afternoons.
Come and see us there, Melbourne.
That's where we live.

LittleDumbDumbClub.com is where you can find the tickets and information to that.
It is filling up, and you are going to hear a bit more about that very festival
in this episode.
It is off the hook, Tommy.
It's off the hook.
Honestly, some of it is going crazy,
so we're nearly sold out, so get on to that,
but you're going to hear plenty about it right now.
In this very episode with Cameron James and Danielle Walker.
Hey, mates.
Welcome once again into the little dum-dum club for another week.
Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Dessler.
With me as always, the other half of the program, Carl Chandler.
Yes, g'day, dickhead. And joining us today live via satellite, two of the finest comedians that New South Wales has ever given birth to.
Please welcome back onto the show, Cameron James and Danielle Walker.
Yes.
Yes.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
Congratulations on getting chosen
Because it is quite an extenuating
Sort of process Because to choose our an extenuating sort of process
because to choose our guests,
we have to sort of figure out, you know,
who we want to spend five days with
and who's, you know, who's good,
who's good content for the pod
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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...
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
Yeah. Piss and tell, the reality show.
Piss and tell.
That's good.
Oh, God.
That's good.
Yeah.
French piss.
Yeah.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
dinner together
in the resort
and we just make sure
that the staff
only bring out
pineapple juice.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Everyone gets one
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 –
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
with the cluster sales manager
Rationon Namnai
okay
but what I love about him
is that he
he does that
yes
sorry
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
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?
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
one of the worst
western names
like fucking hell
it's pretty good
give yourself
you know call yourself
Elvis
call yourself
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
You know
I reckon the biggest
Thai
Western crossover movie
In the last 50 years
Oh
Okay
Would be The Hangover 2
Oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh
Right
Okay
Yeah so he's seen
Zach Galifianakis' role in that
Alan
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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,
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.
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,
30th of March, 6th of April, 13th of April, 20th of April, we're in Melbourne.
And then Koh Samui, June 9th through to 14th, 13th, 14th, whatever it is, 14th.
No show on the 14th.
Join the mailing list and you'll find out all about it.
If you're on the fence, you can join our little mailing list of information for Koh Samui and we'll spell everything out.
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
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.
Yep.
But there'll be plenty of group outings that we'll suggest and stuff.
We've been there a few times.
We know what's going on.
And you'll make friends for life.
Yes.
Yeah, there's heaps of people that have made great friends over the back of that.
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. But hey, yeah, all very exciting stuff.
If you can't make it, if you're not able to come,

First time people are going to be read out on this show today.
There's some names that we've never read out to my memory, to my records.
We're going to read out some patreon subscribers for the very first time
starting now thank you very much to patreon subscriber brendan fisher okay now this is a
real guy that'll be waking me up in the middle of my houseboat this is a this is a real squeaky
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
Super Mario.
Yeah.
He's a plumber.
Yeah.
That's part of the law.
Yeah.
Of Super Mario.
Yes.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
I've pulled a funny bone.
Quick.
I'm bombing up here.
Yeah.
I've forgotten the punchlines.
Yeah.
Quick.
Yeah.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Thanks, Ben Tadgiel.
Thanks, Ben Tadgiel.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Thomas James.
Thomas James.
Tommy James. Tom James Thomas James Tommy James
Tom James
Jimmy Tommy
That's good
Jimmy Tommy
Jimmy Tommy
That's alright
Yeah
Roll call
Jimmy Tommy
Jimmy Tommy
Jimmy Thomas
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Money and a lot of fond memories in the 90s.
All right, we've got one more. This is a a shock to the system doing all this content this day tommy we've had what three
weeks off yeah and we've just done the full episode we've done a couple bonuses that you
get on patreon with one of the guests from this episode and now we've done the back end here
talking dum-dum so um i'm feeling right now like we've just had a big old drive back and down the Great Ocean Road.
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.
Oh, great.
Well, I'll be racing home and doing other bullshit admin.
Let's just do one more.
What do you think?
Motion approved.
Okay, great.
