Welcome once again into the Little Dum Dum Club for another week. Thank you very much for joining us. My name is Tommy Daslow. With me as always, the other half of the program, Carl Chandler. G'day, dickhead. And joining us today, two very special guests from season two of Taskmaster Australia. Or season three. Oh, fuck, you've thrown me off.

Lloyd Langford and Will Anderson. Yay! The Lost episodes. Not Lost. They're playing immediately after this series. Are they? I don't know. That was what we were told to say.

I don't know. That's the party line. What's the party line? What's the party line? What's the party line on this? For people at home, they filmed a season and then it didn't go to air and then they filmed another season and they put that one to air first instead and who knows what's happening to the other season. No, the other season we've been told is literally coming out.

Okay. I heard somewhere that it was just like literally a clash of people being able to promote it and someone being on air on another show at the same time. It's literally like it's – people always want a scandal for these things. I'd like to say it's because our season is so good that they were like, we have to get this on air before Channel 10 doesn't exist anymore. This is the hit single. They're sequencing the album.

There was a lot of topical stuff in there. There was a lot of mentions of Palestine still being a thing. So by the time it comes out next year, that might not be. The final challenge is Fix Gaza. So we did that. And I'm like, you know what? See, they fixed it. We better get this immediately for air.

No, that was Fix Gaza. That's an Australian cast. They should have played with it a bit more. I remember being a kid and there was like episodes of The Simpsons that Channel 10 would just like forget to air in a season. And then like two years later they'd go, tonight we've got the lost episodes of The Simpsons that Channel 10 would just forget to air in a season, and then two years later they'd go, tonight we've got the lost episodes of The Simpsons, and there was this ad that was a sketch with the guys from Cheese TV

pretending that they were doing the Indiana Jones, the full inner tomb, finding the videotape. Do a bit of that. Do a bit of lost to the ages. Lost from 2022. Have someone running around trying to find the USB that's got the episodes on it. Have the cheese TV guys do it as well. Bring it back.

Yeah. They're doing nightclub appearances and stuff. What I love about this is both of you have taken time out of your busy schedule. Very much appreciated. Will's running from one press junket this morning. And he's like, this is the little window I've got because I've got a bunch of other stuff later on. So if you can fit it in this little window, that would be great.

Whereas Lloyd just said, I'll do it early but if you can get it wrapped up fucking soon, I've got shit to do. Nothing. No press junkie. Jesse's got to go and get bread or something. This is one of our babysitter days.

Right. So I have from 9 till 4pm. Oh, you're using a babysitter day on podcast I have you know from 9 till 4pm a babysitter day on podcasting in Lloyd's words specifically I'll do the ep

but none of that bonus shit you know what I love the most too like we were having a bit of pre-show banter and Lloyd was not taking any part in that at all

and now I realise why he's like I'm on the clock I'm like start recording this thing and I'll talk to you but like he's doing a mental to-do list'm like start recording this thing and i'll talk to you but like you're doing a mental to-do list yeah you really are you got here 15 minutes early and you

were like can i use your bathroom to brush my teeth you really are packing it all in yeah i use my own i brought my own brush oh yeah i'm not a monster well hey you know uh canonically a couple weeks ago tom ballard clogged up my toilet. Even if you had wanted to have used my toothbrush, it wouldn't have been... Maybe we can use the brush for that. Yeah, it wouldn't have been the most offensive thing that's happened in there. I mean, it's usually nice if someone brings a story,

but, I mean, a toothbrush will do it. That's fine. That's something. No, I need to have a haircut and a shave, and I've twinged my neck so I need to go for like a massage and I've got to buy some clothes for Gwen and I also have

tux stuff to do. And you still said yes to squeezing this in. Yes. It just goes to show how much you love the little Dundas with Tommy and Carl.

Also it also goes to show how little Taskmasters think of you to get you to do any fucking promotion because Will's doing it all day. You're doing fucking nothing. You're brushing your teeth in some stranger's house.

Anne and I did an interview with The Age, I think it was. And yeah, that's about it. Okay. What's the hierarchy of press, of people being sent out for the junket? Will, you're obviously quite high up on it. What about your Josh Thomas's? Is he being ferried out anywhere? I think Josh is in America, right? I think he's fled the country.

He's in another planet. He's in Los Angeles. Yeah. He'll do anything to get out of talking to Nui Chikoa. Is he on Leno? Is he on Arsenio over there? No. I thought they gave you these tasks.

Pretty crazy. Yeah. That'd be good. So they're getting to do these tasks Pretty crazy I think it was Lloyd's first experience Of working with Josh wasn't it Did you work with Josh before the show No I'd never met Josh before Taskmaster What country did you think he was from Was it weird to be the person on the show Who didn't have the weirdest accent

Was that one of the tasks Figure out where that voice is from I think once upon a time People gave him the person on the show who didn't have the weirdest accent? Was that one of the tasks? Figure out where that voice is from? I think once upon a time people gave him the benefit of the doubt and said, he's probably Welsh. But now you're a prominent media figure and they can see you side by side and be like, well, they're not the same. What's going on there? So I hadn't even really met him because I didn't do any of the team tasks with him

until the studio. met him because i didn't do any of the team tasks with him right until the studio and before the first studio record he came into my dressing room sat down and said just so you know i'm gonna win this series so don't like it's in the bag for me and And then he just left my dressing room. Great. And I was like, oh, this guy. Yeah. He's going to be really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that was not the case. He's trying to get in my head and freak me out for this competition where the stakes are literally nothing. Yeah. If only I understood what he said to me, I'd be scared. My favourite thing about it, because I love Josh and I find him so funny, but one of the things they really genuinely stress about this show is

it's just better if you play it the way that it's meant to be played, which is don't talk about it to anyone, don't share any of the information, keep it all fresh so that you don't know what anyone else's... Because part of the appeal is you do it all separately, but then it all gets played back together in studio and you're all seeing it for the first time right it's the only time you get in context so if you don't know what other people like it's just better to not know right yeah and like josh was the only one who was like rules up for me let's talk about everything i remember he bailed me up outside the rhino room in adelaide like three weeks before we were taping

and was like wanted And I was like, I don't want to talk about this with you. But he also told me there that he was going to win. I think he told everyone he was going to win. That is the great secret agenda of this show is it reveals which comedians are the truly psycho-competitive personality types. Finding that out is always interesting.

People that want to win, even if it's just a fun thing for TV with zero stakes or money or that. Danielle Walker won season one of Taskmaster Australia because she was talking to us about it and just going, she basically didn't know she was meant to be funny on it. She was treating it like the Olympics on her. Yeah.

So she's been the carryover champ. She's been the reigning champ for about two years now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now does she get to keep the thing, or does the winner of season two get to yank it off the bookshelf? Do you think it's pass on from season to season? Yeah, it should be. It's like a perpetual trophy.

Yeah. It's like the piece of wood at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. People just bite it every year and give it to the next person. General Tent aren't spending money on a new statue every year. The final task for the winner is to go around Danielle Walker's house and get the trophy. Yeah, that's good. That's good.

But it is funny to be mad about the stakes of it because I think you could observe this from watching the show, but certainly from doing the show, you're constantly reminded of how ridiculous every single thing that you're doing is like the whole point of it all is just so like sometimes the funniest thing is seeing how seriously you took something that when you're watching it back going well this is a silly thing you're kind of operating in a vacuum so like tom cashman's there but like he's he's he's like an avatar like he's

not competing he's just uh but he's not right and he's not really getting involved a real person they fly into new zealand they put you in a house in new zealand by yourself like basically in this room like this room with like you're not allowed to look out the window because they might be like setting up tasks and stuff around it it's like you're not allowed to look out the window because they might be like setting up tasks and stuff around it it's like you'd love it because it's like a psychological experiment

it's like torturing comedians sounds good it's essentially once like you're the step between Taskmaster and Saw because it's got that vibe

yeah comedy Saw I like it they don't tell you like if it's going to be a logic task or a physical task or a creative task or whatever you're doing 10 a day and They don't tell you if it's going to be a logic task or a physical task or a creative task or whatever.

You're doing 10 a day. And you don't know how long. You're in the room for different people. You might be in the bedroom on your own. You're just sitting there by yourself for like 45 minutes. You're not allowed to look out the window. Can't they just book a different house? There's not here where they're coming.

Why have they got to put you in a sensory deprivation chamber? Well, that's part of it. But I think that's kind of part of it. Right. The whole point is to get you to make irrational decisions. So often... It is very funny to brick up the windows and not know what planet you're on so you can play Jenga or whatever it is. Now, tie your shoelaces.

Try and remember what your mum's name is. Fuck! That's season 87 they just run out of ideas yeah flip this coin but yeah like Lloyd was saying you do all the things with the whole crew are trained

not to give you any feedback at all and partly because sometimes it's in their best interest most crew are trained to do that as well on all TV shows. No, no, no. If you were doing my TV show and you were doing something completely the wrong way,

they would step in and go, we'll stop that there. We better do this. So it's the right way. On this show, you're doing something the complete wrong way that it's meant to be and they're all like,

oh, this is the best. I thought you meant if you went on the Gruen transfer and you made a joke that was no good your cameraman's gonna come out and go that was shit right do another one i mean that would give you a good vibe though like as in like you go to a studio like the crew will give you like positive energy yeah it's real neutral right yeah there was a task that that um i did where and i don't think they made it away so i can probably talk about it where you had to flip a chair over a bathtub and so i just start with the chairs on the ground the bathtub

is there i'm trying to flip the chair over the bathtub it's taken me a real long time yeah and i can see the crew... I hope so, because it's like a bad task. The night before, you're looking out, you snuck a look out the window, you see them setting up the bathtub,

you're like, all right, my task is going to be take a bath. I reckon I'm going to nail this one. No wonder they got me, not Kappa. You've got to flip it over and land it on the other side, right?

And I can see all the crew discussing, they're whispering to each other and stuff. Anyway, I eventually do it. And then they come over to me and they say, oh, you were allowed to pick the chair up. Yeah. And just flip it over like that. It didn't have to be from the ground.

They were having a discussion. You didn't have to flip the bath under the chair. Do you want to know how many times it took me to do that? No. One. One. Because I picked it up. You times it took me to do that? No. One. One. Because I picked it up. You picked it up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're having a... That's why I didn't make it to work. Yeah, this is good stuff. They're having a discussion like how long do we let him do this for?

And then they were like, well, however long it takes. Yeah. So there's a lot of... Until it gets funny. There's lots of stuff where you interpret something the wrong way

or you... Or misinterpret or completely miss the point and it's in their best interest not to let you know that. That is a good... That's a great... Like you get this opportunity and you go in and you're like, I'm going to see how long I can take to do this task to where they're just like, we've been here for 13 hours.

We've run out of videotape. We've filmed season four. It's not 13 hours, but there is a contestant who does do a version of what you've talked about. I couldn't guess who it is. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Whoever could that be with a left-hand voice?

I mean, I've done an escape room and been terrible at it, but it's like, I mean, being the taskmaster, like being Gleason or Cashman, that's the dream where you just get to sit there and go, ha-ha, you did it wrong. You're stupid without having to act. Like I was reading, I saw a thing on Twitter the other day about Whipper,

from Fitzy and Whipper, that he was on Millionaire Hot Seat in 2012 and he went out on the first question and it was, what is a pecan? And he answered, a tropical bird. Right. and i saw that and went ha ha but like if i was on a quiz show that i eat like i would be out on something even dumber like i'd get my own name wrong i just get nervous yeah like you're saying it right then if you would have said that to me right then and gone it's a bird right i might have said yes yeah Anne and I just

watched this documentary on Netflix about Ashley Madison. Are you aware of that? Ashley Madison is the cheating website. Yes. Well played. Yes, thank you. Is that the cheesecake brand? Did you deny that you'd ever heard of it?

Because that would be implausible. That doesn't make sense. Thank you. Is that the ever heard of it because that would be implausible that doesn't like just pause thank you is that is that yeah hang on is that their website

or is that she got fucked last night so the the documentary is all about how they

their database was hacked the hackers like threatened to release all the information they did yeah

and there's a point in the documentary where they say has like threatened to release all the information yeah i can't remember this yeah they did yeah and there's a point in the documentary where they say all of this information is released to the public and everyone had access to it and then these two um australian radio hosts did did a thing where you could fall in with your partner's email address. Oh, and they'd look for it? And they would put it into this database. Wow. And they would, live on air, tell you if your partner

had been signed up to Ashley Madison. And then they'd play audio of these two guys. I think we can figure out what radio show it is. Wait, on two guys? Who, what? Do we know who it was? Well, they don't say in the documentary, but it was Fitzy and Whipper.

Oh, it was Fitzy and Whipper. Oh, was it? And this woman basically finds out live on the radio that her husband was signed up to Ashley Madison and is hard-working. Kyle and Jackie O must have fired their producers after this. They missed a trick there.

The clip ends with I don't know if it's Fitzy or Whipper because I'm not that like familiar with them but one of them goes They're all white people to you.

Oh, we shouldn't have done that. No. And the lady hangs up the Yes. Wow. Imagine being a lady And you know You suspect your partner

Of infidelity And then you hear about The Ashley Madison leaks And you're driving around And you're like Oh god I mean I just I don't know how to find out

If he's being faithful to me or not And then hearing Vitsi and Whipper go Give us a call Oh thank god How Who are the Holmes and Watson Of Australian radio

Vitsi and Whipper. How have they got the database but everyone else doesn't? It leaked. No, everyone can access it. Why doesn't everyone else? Because it was huge. People just couldn't be fucked to search it. No one's good at Apple F.

I guess not. It was released onto the dark web and then people were making... Where Fitzy and Whipper are getting all their content. and then people were making... Where Fitzy and Whippa are getting all their content from the early... Fitzy and Whippa got paid in Bitcoin.

13, 11, 11, ring in if you want heroin. Fuck, that is good. It's like coming in here and being like, Jesus Christ, I got nothing to talk about today. We got no content

and then being like, yeah, we'll just get people to phone in and ask if they think their husbands were fucking someone else and that'll be the show this week

oh my god the secret sound is it going in but also the other thing is like this guy the cheating husband up until this point

has got away with it even though it's leaked like it hasn't come out yet until Fitz came with it thank god the miso doesn't hasn't come out yet until Fitz and Whipper came out thank god the miso doesn't know how to use XL

I'm safe classic Scooby Doo if it only would have gotten away with it too if it only wasn't for Fitz and Whipper still on air

still like huge breakfast show in Sydney like just being that guy like driving around every time you see a bus stop and Fitz and Whipper being like

you ruined my life I don't get to see my kids anymore because of you because of you fitzy i'll rue that name until the day i die but the other great thing wasn't it i haven't seen this documentary but i just remember from the time was that there weren't their numbers just i mean i know this should have come as no surprise to anyone but wasn't there only like eight women on the site and like 25 million men or something? Yeah, there was a lot of bots on Ashley Madison's stuff. Oh, great.

Yeah. Lovely. Awesome. I mean, kind of great get for Fitzy and Whipper. You know, you could say you've been in a Netflix doco. That's cool. No, but they don't get mentioned. They don't get actually named. But they're in it. Yeah.ipper, you know, you could say you've been in a Netflix doco. That's cool. No, but they don't get mentioned. They don't get,

actually, they don't get named. But they're in it. Yeah. Oh, you can see them in there. Well, you're just saying

that they're voices, right? Yeah, they play your clip. Unless it's one of those things like they do when they like releasing you like Finding Nemo

or whatever and there's always like two crab characters that they get local celebrities in different countries to do the voices of. It's like, so the documentary you got fits your whipper, but it's a different place. And also, that's a long bio.

They can get to say they were on Netflix. It's like, that's like getting fucking stabbed by some cunt and being in a fucking serial killer doco and going, hey, I've been on Netflix. I'd take it. Netflix logo blown up bigger than my actual name on the poster. How'd you get it on Netflix as a joke in LA? Got stabbed. Yeah, what are they doing at True Crime Festival?

They've done their Netflix comedy festival. They got to honour the other big genre on the platform. Yeah. Yeah. Well, speaking of, you know, you were on, you're on Taskmaster with your wife, with Anne. Yes. Are you married? You're not married, are you? No, yeah. Well, speaking of, you know, you were on Taskmaster with your wife, with Anne. Yes. Are you married?

You're not married, are you? No, no. With your partner, with your de facto, sorry. Well, I mean, don't want to spoil what happens in this season. Okay, right. You and Lloyd get married, cool. Task today, marry Anne Edmonds. I reckon I've got this one in the bag.

Yeah. But you're on with your partner. Yes. Which is, you know, it's sort of weird because, you know, as we all know, when you go on a TV show first day, you walk around and you sort of go, I get to fuck anyone in here. But now with your wife there, it's a bit harder. It's a bit trickier, you know.

I mean, I get to do that. As soon as I walk into the project, you know, well, he sucks me off. And I'm only a writer. Is that why you watch the Ashley Madison doco? You have to learn. Firstly,

no email addresses. Don't let Anne listen to Fitzian Weaver. We were on location at different times so we weren't like,

oh, yuck, so you didn't have to actually talk to your wife So you could both still fuck other people so one of you

could fuck with her one could fuck with Fitzy great that was a clause in the contract turning your relationship into work

is that that's that's gotta be not that great you don't come out of it and go I'm glad I did that surely

we did I mean we've done stuff together before we did a we did a tour I know you've got a kid Not that great. You don't come out of it and go, I'm glad I did that, surely. We did it. I mean, we've done stuff together before. We did a tour together. I know, you've got a kid. We did Gogglebox together. Oh, yeah. That's shorter, though.

That's like sitting on a couch for a couple of hours, isn't it? It was, I don't know, because like Will was saying, they were very insistent that we didn't discuss any of the tasks and stuff with which was slightly trickier for us I guess because we live together yeah how's your day at work none of your fucking business yeah yeah yeah

but I was I kind of bought into it I was like I'm not gonna talk to her about any of it because I want to find it out for the first time like when we were in because if you're not filming the stuff to get the challenges together then the dynamic of you being a couple is going to come into play more when you're doing the in-studio stuff yeah yeah so it was like we would i was finding everything out and i don't know it was i thought that was

the only way to kind of like do it like properly i didn didn't want it to be like, oh, it's Anne and Lloyd versus everyone else. Here's what I want to know. This is very inside baseball, maybe too personal. Was one of you getting booked first or are you getting booked as a package? Oh, I can tell you. They approached us both at the same time and they said, we'd love you both to do it. How did they approach you at exactly the same time? Did they turn out when you're having dinner?

How does that work? Van parked out the front. They're going for a walk. Now's the time. I think the offer came through. We'd like Arne and Lloyd to do it. So they asked Arne first then? Alphabetically, yes.

Which is how you start on the show as well but they were like if if if one of you can do it

then we'll we'll take that as well we'll take both or either yes that's a hell of an offer yeah so how did that work

so did you have to sit down and sort of go how's this how's this gonna work it was can we work together it was tricky because my... Do we care about our child enough?

You know, should we both go on? To do a TV show to feed her? I mean, bare minimum, I would have thought, of the amount you meant to care for your child. Pay the babysitter so he can go to someone's house and brush his teeth. My parents were visiting Australia, and there was a lot of logistics and scheduling and all that kind of stuff.

So we kind of agreed to do it. And then I think they realized it would be difficult with the organisation because we both couldn't, well, we could all go to New Zealand as a family. The grandparents as well. Well, I mean, someone had to look after Gwen. So we just kind of realised it was easier that like I went off and did my tasks and then Anne went off and did hers.

Doesn't that house with no windows have a kids club you could stay in? Yeah. A ball pit with barely any oxygen in it. That'd be great. I mean, I think not taking Gwen along was definitely the right decision because it's such an intense experience. Like they pick you up from the hotel at 7am.

I'll tell you what's more intense, not having parents. Being at home in a different country from your parents and screaming, going, why isn't mummy here? Fuck, that's big of you. Carl's like, both parents went away, I've got it here. I know from experience. I can tell you, because Lloyd probably won't defend himself properly here,

but literally you're away by yourself. So it's just one at a time. But the other thing is, they filmed 10 episodes of this thing in a week in the studio. And they had Gwen with them. And how tired the two of them were. They were taking shifts night by night. One would sleep and the other one would have to go to the other room

to get their rest during the thing. It was incredible to watch. But it's only like 10 total shooting days, the entire series. You do 10 in the house in New Zealand and you do five in the house in New Zealand and five days of shooting the 10 episodes in studio. So it's not actually a lot of, it's really intense,

but it's not like a lot of hours. It is funny, like how old's your nepo baby? Four, five? Two and a half. Two and a half, okay. By the way, not a nepo baby

until they're in the industry. Right. Like it's not just when two celebrities have a kid that the baby doesn't immediately become a nepo baby. No, no, everything they get. Every bit of milk,

every bit of food. That's all just because of who the parents are. How old is little Liza Minnelli? I remember being a little kid and going to stay at family friends' or relatives who I didn't really like and being like, why are my parents abandoning me? And then just imagining myself getting older and being able to watch a video of that week that I hated, of my parents mucking around doing skits with their friends,

would just be such a bizarre experience. Like, here's what we were doing. We were having a lot of fun. Pulling our pants down for some reason. Here's video record of what we were doing in New Zealand. Gwen is absolutely obsessed with the babysitter. And we took the babysitter to Sydney. Oh.

Because we were in the studio together all day. So she had the time of her fucking life. Yeah, I'll bet. She went... Who, the babysitter? Sounds like it. Getting food to fucking Sydney. Awesome.

Well, they both had a great time. They were at the aquarium. There was a swimming pool in the hotel. It was a holiday. She had a great time. We took her along with us to Daniel Walker's house. Fuck, I mean, cut that out. Cut that out.

Cut that bit out. Well, that's, I mean, yeah, I'm looking forward to watching it because you, Lloyd, especially, like, you've clocked the two big TV shows in this country that every comedian's aunt or relative is like, why don't you just ask to be on Taskmaster? You should just try and get on Have You Been Paying Attention? Or should I? Would that be good to do, would it?

Why don't you just try and do that? What's Carl Barron like? Yeah. I don't know. It hadn't really occurred to me to try and be on a TV show that's really good and popular. Yeah, yeah. By the way, Carl Barron, I know it was a topic of conversation on this podcast recently because I was messaging you afterwards.

But came up this morning on the Marty Sheargold show. We were talking about Carl Barron because Carl's just filmed Fisk. Oh, really? Yeah, so he's doing some, yeah, Kitty. Like Sam Campbell's in it, Carl Barron's in it. Like it's, yeah, it's incredible. What a freak show. So they've gotten him over from Bali,

from his home in Bali to film this. Yeah. How many fucking weirdos need their tax done or whatever the fuck happens on that show? I don't have any normal customers. Yeah. Is this the on-screen debut of the partnership of Campbell and normal customers. Yeah. Is this the on-screen debut of the partnership of Campbell and Barron? Yeah.

People have been waiting for this for a long time. The two ends of the spectrum of Australian comedy, quite literally. Yeah. God. Yeah, I know. Yeah, no, you sadly texted me to say, my theory that I'd heard that Carl Barron lives in Bali tries to get away from Australians by living in Bali.

Apparently that's not true. Even when you were saying it out loud, it didn't seem to make a lot of sense. It's a bit flawed. But again, it's like we were saying at the time, you tell someone something they want to believe, they're going to believe. It's like, yeah, there's remote parts of Bali.

You could still be sort of off-grid there. Absolutely. Do you know Carl Barron? Do you know who we're talking about? I've worked with him but i know i know who he is he's like the biggest australian comedian of all time and he basically just does his own thing like you know doesn't like do gigs on the scene he's a really like great guy but he's such an enigma he doesn't like people to know too much about his life so i think this whole disinformation campaign you were running publicly about him

living in bali he probably would have been like yeah yeah he's in the room with no windows that's that's what he wants he wants people setting up the bathtub outside he's like such a sweet guy he's like he's turned up to boogie board you know two tiny little strands like that his eyebrows are braided how you going the Hawaiian shirt

the traditional uniform of Bali the Hawaiian shirt but I remember seeing him do a gig in LA when he was like he, he was just, like, doing a little tour and he did a gig in LA. And I don't reckon I've ever heard an audience sound more Australian. Like, it was that real, you know, when everyone's got, like, all the expats have just gone for this, like, Australian experience.

Yes. And it, like, you know when it's like, oh, this is maybe too Australian. Yeah. I reckon that's almost gone because like the world's gotten too small. But I used to hear about, you know, Crowded House would go to London and play a gig. And like the expats there would turn on the Australian this times 10 because they're like, oh, a little piece of home. Oh, my God, it's Australia or whatever.

And go fucking ballistic. Because me and Tommy saw Carl Barron in Montreal and that's how I felt. I was like, I've never given a fuck about Australia in my life and I'm watching Carl Barron going, yes, Captain Cook. I'm glad you found us.

And he's killing the people who don't know him as well. We're like, oh, it's still called Australia. I went to see Tommy T in London do a show and I think I'd bumped in, I'd bumped into him like a week later and I was like, how's your gig in London at the Soho Theatre? I was like,

it was a night where there was like a really drunk Irish woman and she was screaming and trying to take a photo with you and all that. And he goes, you're going to have to nair it. Like it's every night. Yeah, that's great.

Not bad. Must be nice. I went to lunch with Carl Barron in Montreal once and he speaks very good French. Wow. Really? Okay, here we go. The Luke Higgy of comedy.

Yeah, so just out of the blue, like he starts conversing with this waitress in the restaurant we're in and quite fluent French. It was very impressive. Ça va? Ça va? What's a hey, girl? Ça va? Yeah.

But does he really, though, or is this as he paid you off? Is this part of the Carl Barron disinformation campaign? Man, like I... Hey, girl, bon? I must... The only other experience I have of that sort of, you know, Australian overseas, like, so I can't... I hope I haven't talked to this before,

but in 1999, I went to Edinburgh and I was sharing a house with David William Hughes. Do you know Hughes? Highway. Honestly, the William really... He's some British guy I don't know David William Hughes

Highway himself yeah Highway Hughes so Hughes and I were sharing a little accommodation in Edinburgh in 1999

and he speaks great French too he had a joke about do you remember his joke he had about Paul Kelly where he saw Paul Kelly at the

so it was something along the lines of this. Like, I mean, Husey would do it obviously a lot better than I'm going to do it, but I saw Paul Kelly at the ESPY and I went up to him and I said, before too long, come on, Paul, you know the words. Anyway, it was like a big Husey bit at the time.

Comedy changes, doesn't it? Hasn't stuck around like snakes alive huesy bit at the time. Comedy changes, doesn't it? Hasn't stuck around like snakes alive. You didn't do the voice. You failed this task, by the way. But it was like, I mean, it was like a big bit of his act at the time. And so he's doing Edinburgh and he's like hating it. He's having such a hard time. And he's just like every night he's coming home,

just like complaining to me about how, like, how shit this whole experience is. So at the end, he decides to, like, all the Australians, we were going to go and see Paul Kelly in the Spiegel tent, right? Like, the big Australian night, right? And, like, Hugh's just had this, like, horrible festival, had a bad time.

So he's just, like, at the end, he's just fucked off and gone, like, back home. And he's just, like, I'm out of here. I'm not sticking around. The other thing, very briefly, is that I've heard about about when and i'm sure we've said this before when he went to america because you hear his accent here you go ah classic uzi but we heard he did gigs in america and american people go is he disabled people are like we literally can't understand you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we go to see Paul Kelly on this final night. And this night, Paul Kelly, like, you know,

just all Australians in this tent, you know, just having this great night. He has this song about Don Bradman, Paul Kelly, that he never sings because it's like eight minutes long or whatever. And so on this night, there is a guy who played cricket with Don Bradman or like a relative of someone who played cricket with Don Bradman is in the room that night.

So Paul's like, I'm dedicating this song to her. I'm going to sing Bradman. WG Grace in the mosh pit. He gets halfway through the song. He forgets a bit of it. And a whole group of people just yell out randomly, oh, come on, Paul. You know the words.

And I was like, Hughsy was meant to be there at that gig and he'd flown home and he would have gone to see his, like, I mean... That's crazy. Yeah, I know, right? Sounds like there's a lot of Australians in this audience.

Like, that is the thing about, like, travelling and doing gigs. You're like, has anyone actually come to see me who's from this town? It's like, no, it's just all people. It's just all Australians travelling. Oh, no, that's what everyone i that's what i would hear like powder finger or whatever they would go oh you know should we play london and they go well why

bother we're not broadening our market it's just cunts that have moved here from fucking sydney you're coming to watch there's no one here from fucking we're just gonna play to 10 of the crowd we'd normally get yeah we're in the walkabout doing it. Is there Welsh people in Australia? Do you have a Welsh draw? If you go to a Lloyd Langford gig, is there 10% Welsh people in the audience? There's Chinatown. Is there Wales town anywhere

where there's heaps of leek restaurants or anything like that? So when I first came to Australia, I wasn't on any social media. I didn't have facebook or instagram or anything like that and answered to me you need to join facebook to get gigs and do all this kind of stuff and she goes why didn't you join the what there's a welsh society there's like a melbourne wel on Facebook. So join that. So I tried to join it and was rejected. And then Anne was like, what's happened here? And she was like, I said, they won't let me into the group.

And then she was like, and tried to join. And they instantly accepted her. And then a couple of years later, I had a guy from the group match me going, sorry, you weren't allowed into the group. But this is after you've been on TV and stuff. Now they come crawling back. But why were you originally?

I mean, who knows? The trouble is when I first started playing Australia or New Zealand or whatever, sometimes in the program, they'll put the Welsh flag, you know, next to your show blue. Brackets. W-A-L. Yeah, and they'll put the thing up.

But what happens is people turn up in, like, Welsh rugby shirts. Right. And they want you to talk about Wales. Yes. Right. Which, you know. I Wales. Yes. Right. Which, you know. I left. I'm here.

Well, you kind of do a bit. Like, I want a bit, but, like, they want it to be that. Because they're, you know. They want a bit of home. Yeah, they're so far away from home and they're like, why? What's the Welsh equivalent of, like, going to see Paul Kelly or whatever? It's like, what is the, is there a. Are you the Welsh huesy? see Paul Kelly or whatever overseas? What is the... Is there a...

Are you the Welsh huesy? Yeah. Are you Welsh crowded house? No, you're like the Welsh Arj Barker, right? Oh, yeah. There'd be a whole bunch of other comedians in Wales going, you know Lloyd is massive. Yes.

Are you Lloyd Biggerhead than in Wales? I hate babies. I just... But enough about Arch. What about little kids? I'm trying to think. Is Tom Jones coming over here? He was just here, yeah.

You didn't catch up? No. I went to see Rob Brydon. Rob Brydon, wouldn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. His whole band or whatever they were, when Rob Bryden Toured here So he sings and stuff

Doesn't he Yes And then he So he's got a full band Or whatever is going on there You sent them to Spleen right I think you sent them to Spleen You said

Can you get them into Spleen They wanted to go They wanted to go And see some stand up comedy So I'm friends with someone In the band as well Yeah They went to Spleen

I think they went to Bodriggy Yeah but they well they went to Spleen I think they went to Bodriggy yeah but they went to Spleen on the Monday night because I remember because then they all sat at the front and I was emceeing

and then afterwards the feedback was oh the emcee was a nice young man they must have been drunk yeah yeah they don't get out much Rob Ryan must be

a real cunt in comparison okay so what so Tom Jones was saying I don't get out much. Rob Broad must be a real cunt in comparison. Okay, so what? So Tom Jones, we're saying he's kind of like the Paul Kelly of Wales. Absolutely must be. I don't mind that. But Tom Jones is also international.

It's not like Tom Jones is just like famous in Wales and not as famous in the world. Like Tom Jones is an international star. Is there like someone who's like a huge cold chisel wales like people from wales would love but like if they two are here it's not like they're playing to everyone here it's like the welsh community tom jones belongs to the world now yeah yeah no one says like you if you were talking about tom jones you wouldn't go welsh entertainer you'd be like fucking tom jones that's it who's the the Welsh musician that's coming out here in the crowd is just like you and Josh Thomas and that Facebook group. That's it.

And Edmunds. Do you know the Stereophonics? Yeah. Yeah, but that's a pretty good, like, that feels like the right zone. Yeah. I'm trying to think of, like, Welsh. There was a band called Lost Prophets prophets but the guy was no done for oh i do remember them yeah i know when you don't have many that you can pull out and then one

of them's been done for that that's a brutal loss that's really unfortunate the manic street preachers they would be no they would be known. They would be known internationally. Yeah. I never knew Paul Kelly or Cole Chisel or Dragon or anyone like that. Dragon were lucky to make that list. That's real someone who's come in and thought those three were equal. Don't. To ask that. You've really wholly ghosted the father, the son, the blah, blah, blah. I hope not because they're from New Zealand. I think you heard about that from a cameraman when you were doing Time Master.

No, that should be on the Australian citizenship test. There are just a bunch of questions about famous New Zealand people that we've claimed. You are getting asked about Russell Crowe.sell crowe am i a robot test yeah you have to click on the on the actual australian band yeah yeah australian people that aren't new zealand yeah how many click all the squares that have a new zealander in yes but also like it comes down to like in crowded house how are you assessing yeah like because i mean if two-thirds of the band were from australia i know but they weren't the neil finn bit i know like it's a tough one because you go no they're australian because the drummer's australian the drummer and the bass player are from melbourne and all of a sudden the drummer kills himself and you go fuck this is getting harder back to a draw

yeah i need a time breaker again. I'm sure the guy who writes every lick of music is from the beginning. Sings it all, plays the guitar, writes all the songs. I'm really only into Credit House for the bass. I think they're ours. What about when me and Cam James are playing music in Thailand at the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival? We're Australian musicians, but we'll be using Thai house band instruments

and playing mostly American songs. So where do we sit in? Where do we belong in the world? Good point. The Creatures of Habit Bar and Band Room present Coastal Mill International Podcast Festival. As of the time of recording, we're two weeks away. When this comes out, I guess we're one week away.

It's so very, very close. And like I said, the good people there at Creatures of Habit, they're only two blocks away from where where we're recording tommy's house now last night i found out fucking hell tommy daslow the king of not admin i found an email that was sent to us that he did not open uh when we were pushing out there months ago asking for sponsors for the coast of my international podcast vessel tommy Dasso did not open a fucking email asking to sponsor the festival from a very interesting sponsor

who I would have fucking killed to have at the top of our poster, an open offer saying, let's make this happen. Let's make it happen. It's happening. This is who could have been sponsoring us. The MSO. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra orchestra said lock it in

we want to sponsor the kosimo international podcast festival and fucking gary admin over here fucking didn't even open the fucking email now i don't know what dosage your doctor's got you on but get that speed prescription fucking amped right up i I have no idea how I missed this. Fuck me. The date, it was while I was away but yeah, I have no idea how I missed this. But hang on,

how are the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra that might be more accurate? There's something to do with it. We're taking a little pity on you. We're doing a little rebrand

and we're now the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Is it because you say MISO a lot and that's the abbreviation of the MSR? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just mean... I don't know much about orchestras,

but they're normally asking for money, aren't they? Oh, that's what I thought as well. Yeah, they're giving a bit back. Are you sure it's them? It is absolutely them. It's the marketing guy from in there. Yeah, from the MSR. He's going to sponsor...

This feels like a story um danny boy the the scottish comedian was asked to support the red hot chili peppers oh yes i don't know if i told you this before but um and he's had a american agent that was trying to negotiate it and everything and he was like yeah I'd love to do it and they came back with the money and it was like you know

it was like $200 a gig or something wild and he'd kind of agreed to do it and then had to like awkwardly like pull out of it

and it turned out that it wasn't the Red Hot Chili Peppers it was the Red Hot Chili Pipers yes yeah we're a bagpipe yeah a bagpipe based cover band oh sorry hang on so you don't think with a bug pipe a bug pipe

based cover but so you don't think this is the MSO you think this is the MTO or something not just

misread it it's MSG you'll be in still good still a good sponsor we need to get the brand back on track

I love the idea that the MSO going back to their benefactors or whatever and going, yeah, we're sponsoring the Co-Simil international podcast. Yeah, this feels like a guy who's trying to get fired. Mate. Suicide by cop.

Yeah. Feels like a guy who wants a payout for being fired and he can't quit for financial reasons. This is an embezzler. This guy's going to be paying in cash. This feels like a Brewster's Million situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I love it.

I love the idea because I was seeing that going, oh, fuck, I wish this would have happened because this is just such a great idea that they've stuck their name on our poster and somehow they think they're going to get our idiots coming to the MSO. I mean, I'm thinking they must, you know, there's some prescriptive, what do you say? Prestigious?

Prestigious. Prescription. Yes, prescription. I'm thinking of Thailand already. Yeah. Organization, I'm like,

oh my God, we could have been linked with them. But then I looked them up just before on their website and the next show they're putting on is the fucking soundtrack to Return of the Jedi and I'm like,

oh well, yeah. They're not that good. They're obviously chasing the fucking dork dollar at the moment is there a chance that you could do like you know how like sometimes they'll do a restrung like the hilltop hoods will do an orchestra tour or whatever oh yeah yes like could there be like a little dum dum dum dum. No, absolutely. Like riffing. Instead of me going,

they've got like a fucking trombone doing it during the whole podcast. Yes. No, I'm more than happy to, let's find a project to work on, MSO. Yeah. I'm very happy to do that. What's the Metallica one that they did, the like crossover,

where they toured with the orchestra? Yeah, there's always, everyone always wants to fucking put strings into into something i i wanted it i think i wanted to go and see them because they were doing the soundtrack to the terminator yeah right there you go so yeah i mean maybe you are the target yeah yeah i was kind of thinking oh wow the one time they sort of lower their their expectations a little bit it's like nah they're into fucking whatever's going around aren't they like no one wants to go and watch the Nutcracker anymore or whatever it is.

Well, I mean, I remember, and you, you don't even, yeah, they do those screenings where they have like, yeah,

they'll do like, Home Alone, but with the soundtrack played live, like that kind of stuff. So we could get an episode of this where we've talked about, we could do a Rad Dad. Yes.

Where they're playing like, the Soundgarden songs that we reference in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And doing that live on the strings. Yeah, about, we could do a Rad Dad. Yes. Where they're playing like the Soundgarden songs that we reference in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Doing that live on the strings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be something. I mean, I don't think we should ruin this idea with Rad Dad.

You know what I mean? This guy's going to email us back now and be like, I specifically said for the Costa Mui Podcast Festival, not for Rad Dad. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm with you you i saw this and i was like yeah how did i miss i think maybe just because like melbourne symphony orchestra was in the

subject line in my head i was like this is a mailing list thing there's no way this would be someone emailing going the melbourne symphony orchestra wants to sponsor the pod but he did it like when you replied he was like oh yeah, maybe next time. Like the door's open. So we could, I mean, we ended up, we got a good sponsor for the Cosa Mu Podcast Festival. So that could be our task when we get back. We find something for the episode. I mean, I just think a collaboration with an orchestra. I think that like you re-pitch this as, you know how like occasionally,

and I mean this in the nicest possible way. You know I love you both. But occasionally there's like, you know, some homeless guitarist that gets embraced as like some great piece of outsider art yeah i feel like that could be a pivot yeah yeah yeah right just go the full hog like hire a whole man i'm not taking that the wrong way like i, I get few enough compliments that outsider art is embraced by me. That's by me. You're still calling it art.

Don't take that. We've done outside shows. That's technically correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want, like, yeah, what could – this also does – like, this guy works in the – he's

in the marketing department and it really does have that thing of like He's come in You know full head of steam And then once he runs it up the flagpole They're like What the fuck are you talking about Absolutely not He's hiding this under petty cash

Or miscellaneous or something That's what's happening here Yeah Like there's a thousand dollars That came out of You know like a fucking Troll bonus didn't turn up one day And they didn't have to pay him

So that's been siphoned into this fund, I reckon. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, most marketing departments have, like, a kind of slush fund. Yes. Like, because for, you know what I mean? Because, like, occasionally you just need a few bucks here or there to, like, you know, buy someone some drinks.

Well, look, I mean, one of the bands aren't getting sausage rolls because of us, because of our sausage shit. You can have absolutely zero crossover with the audience for the Kosa Mui podcast festival and the Melbourne. Like, no one's going to be in Kosa Mui going, I'll tell you what I could really do with now is Lord of the Rings. Yeah. The sliding doors moment where as a result of this bar sponsoring us, we're doing a show

there next weekend right before we head off. If it had been the MSO, what are we doing instead? What's the version of that that we're doing instead? 150 people getting fucked up on the beach and going, fuck it, I'm getting tickets to Short Circuit 2. The soundtrack.

But you're right, the petty cash sponsorship thing. I mean, we probably don't make enough of this public on the show, but we're available for money laundering. If there's any corporations out there that want to siphon some money through... Treat us like we're the Crown Casino of podcasts. Treat us like that. Run that fucking filthy lucre through us.

If you want to turn up with a suitcase full of unmarked bills... It's actually a good way for Carl to get rid of all that cash he's got. Oh, it's sad. A big sponsorship comes legally through the podcast. Cash goes back out the other way. Everyone's happy. It's like that thing when you get married, apparently. When you get married,

it's a good thing to just invite loads of billionaires and mega rich people to send them an invite because like nine times out of ten their personal secretary gets it yeah says oh they can't come and send you a gift oh yeah okay i mean really i didn't know that absolutely if you and anne get married you should invite tom jones yes stereophonics yes Yes. The Manic Street Preachers. Yeah, I mean, one of them won't turn up. Mark Watson.

That's going to be the top table. My parents are going to be at the bar. Yes. Just you get a little moat at the front and all the country didn't turn up. Just the present tables at the front. Well, I guess Danny McGinley kind of did a version of that. Oh, my God.

He just invited... Danny McGinley kind of did a version of that. Oh, my God. He invited the lords of... He just invited... Danny McGinley's wedding famously attended by more comedy venue bookers than comedians. Yes. No comedians, just people who could get him work. Literally. Literally. Like, I got an invite because I ran an open mic and I turned up and I'm like, I guess I've met him a couple of times.

You were like, I'll see you at Danny's. I'm like, I'm not going. Yeah, yeah. I wasn't invited. Yeah, it was just all people from all around the country. Yeah.

It was like, just like, people that didn't, good mates of him that lived in the same postcode that weren't there. But there was all the bookers from WA,

South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales. It was incredible. And so he was maybe doing that thinking, oh, they won't be able to come,

but Fidelity Secretary or just off of the weekend headlining. That's right. Just to give you a weekend in August. The Godfather, all the big families were meeting up together. This is crazy. You ask me for an open spot on the day of my...

Wakes up with Nick Capper's head in his bed. So other news, Koso Mui. Koso Mui, so I haven't told the resort. So we're there very soon. I haven't told the resort because the guy I've been dealing with doesn't speak very good English at all. It's been very sort of unorganized from this guy's side.

So I never tried to even tell him that this is a podcast festival. At no stage do they know anything like that. The guy he's dealing with doesn't speak the best English. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he doesn't understand barely the fact that we've booked out a whole resort, let alone that we're doing podcasts. So what he thinks is we're a company and we're doing speeches.

We're doing a night. Corporate retreat, essentially. Yeah, corporate retreat. We're doing like presentations every night is what we're doing. I mean, yeah, that's okay. So day one, we're going to need to be hanging out around the pool and just doing some trust exercises. Guys, if you're coming, we're going to need a lot of you to just stand there and kind of fall backwards into each other's arms just to sort of really get this corporate idea across. We're going to need to explain to the resort we have an extremely lax HR department.

Given the behavior of the people there, both on stage and off. Don't, you've done this numerous times before. You always have to go to a... Different resort. Oh, right. Different resort. It's one of those kind of festivals. On the run.

No, no, no. We just had to change it up. We went to this place that we could completely fill up and thought this would be good. So I've had to, so we're getting ordered, like we've got a big banner on the way in when people come in so I've

they've been told that the company's name is From Before Industries oh yeah nice yeah a little a little catchphrase from the show From Before Industries

so just quickly to fill Lloyd in and anyone else who's listening for the first time me like years ago like 10 years ago I went and saw

Peter Hellyer in Adelaide first night of his new tour and the show was great but he had like one bit where he dropped a callback and for whatever reason just had maybe too much of a gap from the original thing. The original joke wasn't strong enough to remember. Callback kind of fell a bit flat, sort of got nothing.

And so he says it and then he just kind of just sort of like points sort of backwards behind him and goes, from before. Points at the past. Which we love. It's just like... Very beautifully describes the callback. It was from before.

Just a desperate man. A desperate man, night one, just trying to get this thing over the line. You remember from before? Yeah. So we're a little bit

obsessed by it. We keep bringing it up. Pete Hellyer keeps not engaging. Including to Peter Hellyer who was not as fond of this story as you were telling him.

We all joke about it. He's like, why are you telling me this? He's in a text chain where we just keep mentioning from before, and he has not contributed once to it. Yeah, Ballard's really into it and was sending us texts of audio recordings of his show where there was one night where Ballard himself said it because the callback didn't work and then there was another night where someone who listens to this show was in the audience

and yelled it out. And so Tom's just sending us audio clips of this in a text thread with Peter Hellyer and Peter Hellyer is the only one in the text thread to never respond. He's just, he's checked out. All of us are like,

ah, this is amazing. He's blocked it. You know Pete from before. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, he's about to not enjoy it even more because now our company... I reckon that'll win him role.

Yeah. Now that you've named a festival. Our company's called that now. We've got a big banner and now we've just... But from before is it's Tom Jones now. It belongs to the world. Yeah. It's bigger than just Pete Elliott.

Not Pete Elliott anymore. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Take him out of the... That's how intellectual property works. That would be good if he's there, trademarked. He sues us. Pete Hellyer's got the recording of this trial from 10 years ago.

He's going through his iPhone voice memo. They confessed. They literally confessed to me. I've got the screenshots. This is mine. I'm taking down them. I'm taking down the Melbourne City Augustine. Well, now we've printed merch

so we've got merch so the people that are coming on the to the Coastal Million International Podcast Festival we've got merch

so we've got the little logo from before printed on our shirt so people can buy that and even if you don't come to the festival you can buy this merch

but it now looks like we are on a proper company retreat because we've got the logo shirt on. If you're a fan of being asked, what the fuck is that? And not really having a good answer for it, you can get one of these shirts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks cool though. It's a cool little logo. How many people are you having in this resort? 150 roughly. Yeah. Yeah. It's an entire resort.

An entire resort. Well, it's a corporate retreat so it's the whole company yeah but I mean that feels okay like I mean I'm sure they've had

like I know that you're like oh this is going to be so weird for them but I'm sure they've probably had some big company I asked them and they haven't they're freaked out

they're freaked out oh okay alright well that's good luck to you all yeah yeah yeah they've been sending me some very weird emails, like stuff like, should I take a picture of our breakfast

and send it to you? I'm like, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, why not? I want to see that. But then they do that and then they don't send me the fucking picture. So now I'm following up on a question they asked me,

which I didn't care to start with. But now I'm like, fuck, now that you've offered, I want to see the breakfast. I mean, this is the sliding doors moment of that email where we wouldn't be coming up with From Before Industries.

We'd be saying, is it okay with you if we just pretend that we're the Melbourne City Orchestra? Hey, that's a big organisation. 150 people all getting away. It's like, yeah, it's an orchestra. Look at them all.

The only thing is we now don't have an answer of what these industries actually make. No. What From Before actually makes. We don't have an answer of what these industries actually make, what From Before actually makes. We don't really have a description for when they say, what do you guys – I mean, we love that you've come here and we've filled up the resort and whatever. We'd like to sort of give back and sort of buy something from these industries.

Yeah, we need something on the PowerPoint presentation on night one just to throw them off the stand. We need to do pie charts. I just love the world that you live in where you have so much self-hatred about what you do that you don't think you could just tell them what it is you do like that your cover story you have to have some inventive business rather than just say we've booked out your entire resort we're going to be doing some funny like speeches at the end of the night i genuinely didn't think this guy would understand I was like

is this guy like already he didn't seem to understand that we could take an entire resort and then I was like well fuck I'll just say it's a company

you'd understand Will this is the cross to bear of being a podcaster like every show that Lauren watches there'll be like a character who goes on a date with a guy

and she's like oh he's really great he's really attractive but I just found out he does a podcast oh dump him. You know, it's like no wonder we have self-hatred about doing this. It's the punchline job of every fucking bit of media.

We're the Frankston of media. Yeah. We're the easy punchline. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay, yeah. That does make sense. I suppose when you frame it like that, it's like there is a shame.

But, you know, you're also middle aged men going to Thailand so I feel like there's heaps worse shameful things that you could be doing like saying to someone you're doing a podcast

is way down the list that's a really good point I'm bald I can't respond to emails there's way worse things it's the worst thing a middle aged Australian man has ever done in Thailand

I didn't think of that we're really middle aged white manning it up over there. It's Thailand plus podcasting. Fucking hell. No, you're right. Well, it's on very soon and we're very excited about it. So are we going to try and figure out what from before Industries does or are we just getting up there night one and just sort of talking around it, talking as vaguely as possible?

We're going to have to figure out before. You're a content creation company. From Before is a content creation company that repurposes historical references for modern audiences. Well, that's sort of what I do. That's exactly what you do. I did a Short Circuit 2 reference before. Mate, I heard it.

Don't worry about it. Polished it up. I heard it. Repackaged it. Mate, I heard it. Don't worry about it. Polished it up. I heard it. Repackaged it. Yeah, that works. Yeah. So is that what we do on our opening slide when we get up there? There's just a picture of number five, the robot from Short Circuit 2.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're there to kind of brainstorm new, like old things that we could like put back into the popular. Yeah, you're keeping this pop culture alive. Yeah. Right, right. Everything's nostalgia now. You know, the Garfield movie, all this kind of shit. We're a nostalgia company.

Yes, that's good. That's actually good. If anyone asks, we're recycling. We're recycling. We've been using the same material for 14 years. That's right. We're into recycling. That's all the callback really is.

It's just trading on nostalgia from like 10 minutes ago. From before, yeah, yeah. We're a creative recycling company. We don't believe in new material. We only believe in repurposing pre-existing material. You pick up an aluminium can from before. From Adelaide. For five cents.

From Adelaide, before. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. That's good. This kind of works. I don't know why we have to have taken an office of 150 people overseas to do this. That's the next hurdle. I don't know why that's necessary.

Book out a resort to just fucking, yeah. I love that. To just talk about bushwhacked. Yeah, Thailand are like, fucking hell, there's some money in recycling in Australia. This is great. Let's hit up VisiPrint or something and get them over. Yeah.

So we are going to need everyone in attendance to buy one of these shirts and be wearing it around to make this look legit, make this look official. And we're also getting the shirts printed in Thailand because we've left our run a little bit late. But we've got a very prestigious t-shirt printing company over there. And by that, I mean, I asked someone, I asked the one guy that lives in Koh Samui that listens to this podcast, who's never been to the live show in Koh Samui.

And I asked him if he knows anyone that prints T-shirts and he said this person. And so that's enough for me. So that's who's printing them. Do we have... Is he attending at all? Does he want to join up to From Before Industries? He could still do it.

He could be a digital nomad. He could work for From Before Industries but over in Thailand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He could be in the Koh Samui branch. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We've got offices around the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He could be in the Koh Samui branch. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

We've got offices around the world. Yeah, yeah. We do have a local office. It's just here. That's why we're here. We're visiting the – It does feel a little bit like, you know, we've got an office there and an office here.

It feels like what I should have at my house. Like, you know, those offices where you've got – Clocks on the wall. I've just got a clock that says Melbourne and Koh Samui in in my own house that's that's our yeah yeah yeah that would be that's good that's really good yeah all right yeah so he's he's our head we've got a 150 person office in melbourne and a one-person office in kosamui yeah but it's you know we're starting we're slowly expanding yes you know well that's part of our trip yeah that's why we're slowly expanding. Yes. You know? Well, that's part of our trip. Yeah. That's why. We're trying to grow. I'm sure some people will get left behind.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's the dream. You know, the funny thing is actually, like, on the last night, you announced some retrenchments. It's actually been tough. The reason we brought you over here. That's what you should tell them. They ask, why is this trip happening?

We actually have to announce a lot of return trips. We've only booked 140 return trips. It was 10 one-wayers. Remember before you had this job and you had no money? Well, that's from before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember unemployment from before? It's back.

That's part of what we do here. Part of the ultimate goal. Yeah, yeah. All right, we'd better wrap it up there for another instalment of The Little Dum Dum Club. before it's back that's part of what we do here part of the ultimate goal yeah yeah all right we better wrap it up there for another installment of the little dum-dum club Will Anderson

See you mates And they've done it again Bernie I don't know how you do it But A big one you have kicked Good on you Bernard What's that foot do?

It kick a big one Yep He's a big kicker Yep He's been off for a few weeks Because he did a hamstring From kicking so many big ones Yeah

And I had to let him Let that poor calf muscle That poor hamstring from kicking so many big ones. Yeah. And I had to let him, let that poor calf muscle, that poor hamstring sort of come good. We were talking about, we were trying to compile a list for something the other day of newer catchphrases. Time magazine's greatest quotes of the 21st century. And you put Bernie's kicked a big one in the mix and then went, oh yeah, I should start saying that again.

And I like how now it's not just that you just stopped saying it. Now you've created some law around why you weren't saying it for a bit. Yes, exactly. You've canonized the fact that you weren't saying it. Exactly. The phrase that I use, got injured. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's one of those weird ones where sometimes you see like a sportsman have an innocuous injury and it's just taken way too long to get back. Yeah. You know what? Because that phrase has now aged a little, he's now got like – it's probably a calf muscle that's happened. Yeah, yeah. The old man injury. Oh, yeah, yeah.

The calves. So that's – Bernie and his poor calves. But he's back. He's back. He's stretched and he's back. Yep, yep. Welcome back, Bernie. Welcome back, Bernie.

Got a lot of shows. Like the people up the front of the show said. Heaps of stuff. Time of release. There is the Melbourne show at the Creatures of Habit Bar and Band Room. A little going away party. Live. Talking dumb dumb. Yeah.

Come and see us off or see us and then see us again very soon after that because then after that is the Coastal Moon International Podcast Festival, 9th till the 14th of June. We were talking about it before. There's been a few resale tickets that have gone on sale and been sold. Some crazy people that have decided at the last minute we're going to go overseas and see this fucking thing. Resale from ticket holders that have discounted the tickets.

If there's any still on sale at this point, go and have a look have a look i would love we talked about this maybe a couple of years ago but i would love to to have something happen some prize some sort of something some recognition for the last person to buy a ticket because it does fascinate me just this person who did it last night someone bought a ticket with two weeks to go and they're going yeah fuck it we're going overseas in two weeks to see this fucking festival i mean we've heard about it for six months yeah but with two weeks to go. And they're going, yeah, fuck it. We're going overseas in two weeks to see this fucking festival. I mean, we've heard about it for six months. Yeah. But with two weeks to go, fuck it, we're getting on board. Yeah, I mean, but I'm interested to know more so,

like, what are the circumstances that led you to that? Are you just a complete rogue who's sitting back, or was it, like, lost a job and all of a sudden it's like, well, I can just, you know, I got a new job that starts, that happens to start right after the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival. So this is a perfect window. Yes. Was it relationship ended?

You know, it could be any number of things. If there's any bitterness about not having child custody, we don't particularly want to hear about it. No, anything like too negative. Anything else. Anything too negative, like, you know, killed someone and felt like the right time to go on the run. I'm happy hear about that kind of stuff i'm happy to hear about that but just i don't want to hear anything about about about not having about custody yeah i think that's the only thing

i'll rule out that's the way you draw the line yeah yeah yeah it just makes me too sad but um everything else is fine um but yeah would love to hear the circumstances involved because it is close to my heart, but it is also fucking crazy. So let us know about that. Like we said in the episode, there is going to be merch on sale. We are going to have merch literally printed in Koh Samui. Supporting the local economy. Yes.

And not at all just making sure we get our products printed in a third world country and saving on postage. Well, that's happening anyway yes even if you get them printed yeah you know those the actual shirts that they're printed on yeah that's coming from the fucking third world so like why we're cutting out the middleman yes so we do have some new merch for the first time in a long time and that will be coming up on our websites very soon watch the socials we're on facebook or on instagram're technically on Twitter, but haven't put anything on there for quite a while. But definitely on the first two. So new merch.

If we have leftover merch from T-shirts from Koh Samui, absolutely. We'll put them online and you can have your little go at the XSs and the four XLs that are left. Yep. But having said that, because they're from Thailand, they're 4XLs. That would mean medium in Australian size. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

People are smaller. Their sizes are a bit skew-iff over there, we found in the past. I got a big, I don't think we ever talked about this, but I bought, when I went to Thailand one time, I got the old Greg Larson's Rack World soccer team. Yep. Jerseys made up. We. Yeah, jerseys made up. We didn't get jerseys made up, but I just bought them off the rack. Oh, yeah. I went, cool, I'll just get a bunch of larges and mediums

and that should sort us out. And larges mean slightly bigger than small. Yeah, okay. So there were some tight squeezes there on the little futsal court there for a while. So I've learned my lesson. Yeah. And I've changed the sizing considerably.

I can't wait to get there. And in the interim, they've been like, what are we doing over here? This is insane. We've got to go by more of the Australian sizing standard. Oh, yeah. And then we get a box of shirts where the smaller size is like a tent. Yeah. Like it is actually 4XL.

And then all of our customers go, great. It still barely fits. July 20th, we've got the live show up in Sydney. Get onto that, littledumbdumbclub.com for all your tickets.

Now come back to our nation's capital. I've got a message, the guy who runs Creatures of Habit bar and band room where we're doing our show in the weekends.

It is close to my house and I'm thinking maybe I get the dog up on stage with me maybe I bring my little dog in if they're allowed dogs in the venue I'm going to bring him up there with me I've seen some pictures of the clientele going to this joint and I think the dog would be welcome

with open arms in comparison he's a little creature of habit and you know if he's kicking off and it's shit and he's not liking it I can just bring him back here open arms in comparison. Okay. He's a little creature of habit. Oh, yeah. And, you know, if he's kicking off and it's shit and he's not liking it, I can just bring him back here and be back to the show within about five minutes. Oh, yeah. If your dog's a bit like my daughter who came to our show with Sam Pang and has said to me ever since, your shows aren't funny.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah, he can fuck off. Yeah, wow. And I had an argument With Blanket And just had to say Well You know

It was like fucking Being in a bar With some idiot I don't come down To where you work And knock the Ticket Knock the play-doh

Out of your hand Tit out of your mouth I was like Well prove to me How's it not funny You were there And all these people Were laughing

Wow so this got to you How's it not funny This really got to you How's it not funny If everyone was laughing and then she goes hmm and she had to take it on board and go well it's not for kids yeah it's like well i never said it was fuck this is she's really switched on i think i won it yeah i won the argument with my five-year-old yeah pretty cool um talking dumb dumb uh thanks to will and lloyd that was uh great fun yep man we felt like a real proper fucking talk show there for a while talking half an hour about a show that

i've literally never watched an episode of never seen it um but good luck to all who sail in it and who watch it being sailed uh not much to talk about there. No, but we do have to follow up on something from two weeks ago now. Yes. We talked at length about Tom Ballard coming in here. Well, this does kind of tie into this episode where I said, Lloyd using my bathroom to brush his teeth. And he was a bit like, oh, sorry about this. And I was like, man, if only you knew.

Yeah. The best use of a bathroom in at least three weeks. Yep. Yeah. Tom Ballard did an episode of this. Then he did some bonus episodes that you can access on patreon.com slash little dum-dum club. And then he went to, let's say, drop some more content. Yeah.

And he did a real number on your… Commode. Commode. He absolutely defiled mine. On your WC in there. Yeah. He put it out of action. He clogged up the S-bend. You did go and have a look in the end, didn't you?

I did have a little look. We both got visual on it. You made me have a little look. And I think I said this at the time. I've not seen anything like that outside of a nightclub toilet at 2am. It was just the sort of thing that you just don't ever expect to see in your house. You expect to see it in a comedy movie where it's like... By the way, did you see this thing in the news?

Just a sidebar quickly. Did you see this thing in the news the other day about this flight to Singapore? Of course I did. That just got fucked up by turbulence. And I hadn't heard about it. And I was with some people last night and they were talking about it and my friend was like i was like she was like yeah the photo is brutal and i was like oh like what what kind of brutal and she's like oh there's just shit everywhere and i was like i gotta see a photo of this and my fiance was like honestly don't look it up like someone died and i was like oh i

when you said there's shit everywhere, I thought you meant like literal shit. Like I thought you meant that like the turbulence was so bad that people were like spewing and shitting themselves. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. Turbulence. Yeah, I'm like, I'm sorry, but I've got to see this. I've got to get a fucking look at this.

No, it's not that fun after all, is it? It's like it's just a dirty plane. Yeah, it's just like people's heads were hitting the fucking – so the roof's kind of fallen out a bit. Yeah. But like, yeah. It's a bit rich. Yeah, someone died and it's like, well, the turbulence didn't do that.

Just someone. Right. There was a pre-existing condition. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And have you ever been – this is a good question. Have you – how bad a turbulence have you ever been through? I've been in one.

I was with Josh Earle and we were flying in to do gigs at the Falls Festival in Byron Bay and we had to do, like, three laps of the airport in the air. And I honestly was like, this is it. Really? I really did think I was going to die. Wow. And I had that real, like, you know, that real, like, drowning, like, calm of, like – Yeah, this is it. Really? I really did think I was going to die. Wow. And I had that real like, you know, that real like drowning like calm of like, oh well.

Yep. No point freaking out. This is it. Yep. What do you do? Did you get on the phone? Did you try and send a text? Nah.

Nah. Fuck everyone. Nah, I was just like, I mean, I do think that the thing of like not being able to- I don't really have any strong feelings for my mum and dad. It's fine. They could figure it out. I mean, I did. I think I mentally was like, I don't really believe in the thing of like, oh, you can't

have your phone on because it's interfering with the plane. Get real. But I think I was like in my head like, well, hey, let's say that. Okay, let's just take them at their word and say that is true. I think we need every bit of power we can get in this plane at the moment. I don't want to be the one of like, hey, we would have survived but some cunt

turned their 4G on and that was the final straw. Someone texted their mum in the plane fucking plummeted. Yeah, I think it was just like that of like,

if ever there's a time to just adhere to every rule that exists up here, this is the one to do it. But yeah, I wonder if you're actually going down,

do they just go like, guys, get on your phones if you want, we're fucked anyway. We're out of service, so just before we hit the ground, hit send. Yeah, you'll get a couple bars. Yeah, you'll get a couple bars.

Compose it up here, but we'll let you know when we're 100 metres from the ground and you can just hit send then. It's kind of more of an email. I'll type it up on the laptop. I'll get the tethering ready to go and then maybe I'll get a couple seconds before we hit these. Jesus Christ. That would be fucking mad.

But yes, I feel like in retrospect, that turbulence was really bad. But it was also like we were just in this insane storm where it was like, you know, four in the afternoon and pitch black. Like that kind of like just crazy level storm where like, yeah, we're being thrown around a fair bit. where like, yeah, we're being thrown around a fair bit. But I also don't really know where that ranked on the grand scale of like turbulence you can experience. Of all time. In the air, over the ocean, pitch black, in the middle of a fucking typhoon or whatever.

Yeah, seeing lightning out the window. Yeah. Seeing people on the wing. We were jumping, you know, we were bouncing around a lot, but it wasn't like this thing where people are like. People screaming? Being flown out, flung out of their seats screaming uh not so much screaming i think i had the headphones in to just really try and disassociate and just like distract myself yeah but yeah i yeah it was

interesting to watch that because uh yeah a lot of people, which I think they said it was mealtime. So a few people down the aisles, getting out, going to the dunny. A few people, you know, unplugging to get their meals and whatever. So it all hit pretty quickly, whatever. But I – It really does give credence to the thing that they say of like, even if you're in your seat, just keep the seatbelt on. Absolutely. Because if something hits and it's like you go flying, it's like,

well, we tried to tell you. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That'll inspire a real 30% up boost for about a week, I reckon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. Definitely. What about you?

Have you been in? No, very little. The only thing, I reckon I had it very, very recently. The last couple of months, I did have a little bit. And I reckon it's basically my only time I've ever had it. Right. And it's the only time I've heard someone scream on a plane. Oh, really?

Yeah. But it wasn't that bad. It was like like but i did have a bit of that calm you go out of my control what are you gonna do yeah what what yeah and i said to my wife because my wife worked in airlines for years but like not as a stewardess or anything like that um in sort of head office sort of stuff um i did say though because she is a real freak out with like just in a car. Oh, yeah. She's not a particularly good driver. Yeah.

Which then is very annoying because she's maybe an even worse passenger. Yeah. So we'll be in the car and I'll be 30 meters from someone and she'll be like, oh, she'll grab the armrest and I'll be like, what are you freaking out about? I've done nothing and I'm 30 meters from a car. Yeah. Oh, you're driving quicker or slower than I usually do. It's like, well, yeah, it's not exactly the same as what you do.

My fiance is a big one for like someone will kind of pull out in front of us sort of wildly and she'll do like a, and I'm always saying like, if I'm going to have an accident, it's going to be because of something like that throws me off. Like I'm, I've seen him. I'm fine. I'm a good driver. Yes.'ve seen him. I'm fine. I'm a good driver. Yes. Like I know what I'm doing.

I say she'll do that and I go, look, that's not helping my driving. And also, can we please remember the scorecard of who has written off a car in this relationship? Yeah. And I believe it's one nil. Yeah. And I believe I am the zero. Yeah. So please, if you will, just let me drive this car properly

so i said because she's like that i'm like how do you go with turbulence what's the worst turbulence you've ever had and she's like oh i'm fine with it i cannot believe that i can't i can't get that get my head wrapped around it but she said she was just on a on a plane and because she just had turbulence comprehensively explained to her by airline staff it was sort of just just sort of broke the myth we were talking about this last night where what is it it's like the plane isn't actually moving around all that much right it's like you're moving around a lot it's like the it's kind of the my friend used the analogy and like they kind of butchered it too so now i'm butchering it third hand but the analogy of like a you know when you make like a frog in a pond when you've got

like a bit of like a thing in jelly and if you like wiggle the glass the thing in it is like moving around oh even though like what's on the outside isn't moving all that much right but what's on the inside is moving at disproportion so it feels like the plane is isn't it the opposite of that well i don't know it's like but it's the plane's moving but you're not no no well but it's but when it's it's turbulence it feels like you're being thrown around and so you kind of think i'm being thrown around because the whole plane is being shaken around yeah but the plane actually isn't being shaken around that much it's something about the like the way that like the no i think it's the opposite of that the plane

is literally going up up and down 100 meters but you're not because you're already in it but when you're in turbulence i'm saying yeah you're being thrown around again i think i'm right and you're wrong but you're not sitting still in turbulence that's why it freaks people out it's because you're like no but you're only moving a little bit like the plane itself is he's going a hundred meters up and down you're not going a hundred meters up and down you're going fucking two meters up and down yeah there's anyway someone will already as soon as we started talking on this someone's already started typing it's the whole it's the whole thing of if you're inside a van yeah and you jump up in the air yeah you don't, and the van's going 100 miles an hour, you don't hit the back of the van.

Yeah, sure. But whatever the point of whatever this thing is, it's meant to explain away that it's like it actually is, what is actually happening outside to the plane is not as bad as it. It's what your wife is saying. It's like got to explain to her and it's like it's meant to calm you down because what's happening feels worse than what is actually happening okay well i think what really just calmed her down was she was like this happens all the time

don't worry about it yeah i think that there was no physics right okay right it's like i've had way worse turbulence than this and i'm still alive yeah i think that's all it was yeah there's no dr carl didn't come out and do any diagrams but anyway out of the both of us butchering out both of our explanations let us know who's dumber out of the two Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dr. Carl didn't come out and do any diagrams. But anyway, out of the both of us butchering both of our explanations, let us know who's dumber out of the two of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let us know how it works. Yeah. I'm sure you've already sent off the Facebook post about it.

I'm sure people who know even less than us are currently trying to explain to us what's going on. Yeah, yeah. Thanks, everyone, for being here. By the way, Tom Ballard toilet update. Oh, yeah, sorry. I'm desperate to talk about this. Yes.

When I'm like, there's not really all that much to say. But we need. The stick technique worked. You're welcome. Yep. Got in there, you got a big old stick and you busted up a big bunch of shit. Yep. A fat man's turd.

Which weirdly, by the time I did that, it was partly relief. But then because we had talked so long about like, oh yeah, I'll get a plumber in and I'll have to like say to him, this is what's happened. I was sort of like, that is going to be pretty funny to talk about. Yes. And then the fact that it was sort of solved pretty easily was slightly disappointing in the end. A relief, but also like, you know, I was like, oh, here we go. Yeah. This will be a great story.

Relief, but also like, you know, I was like, oh, here we go. Yeah. This would be a great story. Well, yeah. As disappointing as it can be while you're in your own toilet with a stick. Yeah. Busting up a friend's poo. Yeah.

Yeah. I was, yeah, it was pretty rank. You got red hard. I came very close to spewing. Your dick got really hard. Yeah, my dick got hard. Yeah. Thanks to everyone who supports the show on Patreon. We are listener supported.

We very much appreciate everyone who gets onto patreon.com slash little dum-dum club. That's a good point, Tommy. We knock back a lot of sponsorship on this show just to make sure it's listener supported. Exactly. Pure. IBM were in last week. We said, no, thank you. We'd rather have some cunt from Wangaratta.

Exactly. Fucking slide a 50 into our pocket. Exactly. Did Copp one of them the other day? Oh, a 50. Have you had any listener interaction on the street lately, Tommy? Not lately, no. I had a few weeks ago, I was on the phone to Brett Blake

and I had someone come up on the street and slide me a 50 oh did we talk about i think we talked about that one yeah i had one the other day was it when the episode came out when we time of recording the episode had just dropped it just been out for like an hour maybe two hours and i was walking out of a supermarket and whoever you are a listener i was walking along and i saw you know sometimes you've got to sort of like judge your traffic and there was a guy who's going to sort of T-bone me and I slowed my sort of walking to make sure he didn't. And then he sort of followed me.

I was like, this cunt is fucking trying to prang into me for an insurance scam or something. And I was like trying to get out of this guy's way and he just kept getting in my way. And then he just sort of like took out a phone and just shoved it at me. And I was like, he was listening to the new episode. Oh, yeah. That's good. I like that move. Yeah.

When they get you fresh. Yeah. He's listening to the last week's episode that had just come out. He's listening and he just looks at me like a fucking serial killer, pulls the phone out,

shoves it in my face and I'm like, I'm like going from like, I'm going to have violence with this person to just laughing maniacally. Yeah. Is this what this was about? You're just trying to crash into me

so you can show it to me. Yeah. And the live brisbane show and then he just then he just looked at me dead-eyed and went a lot of nazi talk so far and just kept walking he's not wrong yeah yeah right just to prove it i said it ain't gonna stop anytime soon yeah that's the thread throughout the whole episode yeah so um thanks for um thanks for that little interaction outside of walworths yeah i went in there to buy way too much chocolate but in the meantime if you're not uh someone that is likely to uh see us irl to slip some cash in our palms what you can do is do that digitally patreon.com slash little dum-dum club give us some stuff digitally exactly two bonus mini episodes

Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just heard, you saw, posted about it on premise.com. Yes. And thought, wow. Reddit slash ideas. Yes, comedy ideas, comedy concepts. I got into it.

Thank you very much to first cap off the rank, Patreon subscriber Liz Gunner. Gunner. Okay. Liz Gunner. She was Gunner subscriber and then she did. Liz did. Liz Gunner. G-U-N-N-E-R.

Okay. Woulda, shoulda, gunna, did. You've watched some of Hacks, haven't you? Yes, I like it. I haven't seen the new season. New season's really good so far And it's funny There's an episode where they go to a golf tournament

And the guy that's in it That also played Shooter McGavin Oh yeah It's just funny seeing him In a scene where you know he's like Is there any reference to It's a famous golf movie And it's like I really

I really respected the restraint of the writers To not be putting in Not be putting in a fucking you know reference Pieces of shit like you for breakfast from before. Okay, so there's no reference to it at all. No reference. No. I wonder if he had a say in that,

whether he heard they were going to do an episode themed on a golf tournament and he went in there and he was like, now don't you get any fucking ideas in your head. Well, no. I think he's very much the opposite way around where he'd be walking in going, do you want me yeah do a bit of this do you want me to and they'll be like no thank you he's like are you sure because i can do it i haven't been there there's a cafe in carlton

i think called shooter mcgavin's really and i'm surprised it hasn't been a thing where he's like you know come out to promo it any he seems to be a guy not that i it. And he seems to be a guy, not that I follow him, but he seems to be a guy on socials that's very keen to keep the fucking story going. He'd be on Cameo for sure. Yeah. Doing a bit of Happy Gilmore Gear. Absolutely. For your nephew or whatever. Absolutely.

And he's been the guy that for a long time has been on socials going, hey, Sandman, you know I'm available. Yeah, right. I can do it. And then it's come out the other day, they are fucking going to do it, which I'm genuinely surprised by. Yeah.

It's a sequel to Happy Gilmore, which I mean I would rather see a sequel to Billy Madison and see that they found out that he cheated or something. He goes to school again. A 55-year-old man has to go back to prep again. Personally, I'd rather see a sequel to Little Nicky little nicky that's what i'd be holding out for right yeah it was all right little nicky yeah i think so i loved it in the back in the day i didn't like the voice very much but it was like it was it was just on the edge of me going off him yeah

i was i'm still deep in i'm like 15 or something and i just thought it was cool that he just made this like such a weird movie like i really liked that he just went for it and made this bizarre yeah like you know all these films are like oh this fucking deadbeat guy has to go and go to school yeah and he just went yeah what if what if it was the son of hell who came to earth and had a talking dog and And I was like, this is pretty cool. This is cool that he got to make this. That was his little – that was his Cable Guy. Yeah, the turning point.

Yeah, maybe. Like a weird one. I don't know if people have really reappraised Little Nicky. I think people hated it then and it still held up as a bad movie. But Cable Guy I feel like people came back around on. Yeah. Cable Guy's good. Right i haven't i haven't watched it i've watched it recently um yeah a little icky i think i i reckon could get away with it i reckon i remember thinking this wasn't the worst thing in the world i might watch it on my flight over to kosamui let me know let me know i'm right in that in that window where any film that comes up

that I've been meaning to re-watch or have never seen, you're locking it away and you're like, oh yeah, that's a good one to download for the flight that's coming up in a couple of weeks. This is my thought about the flight. Going to Koh Samui. So going to Bangkok. Well, going that first leg of it.

Yeah, the first leg. Going to Bangkok. This is what I like to do, that first leg of it. the first leg. Yeah. Going to Bangkok, this is what I like to do. I don't eat or drink on the plane. Mm-hmm. Especially because it's, I'm going Jetstar.

Yeah. So like, why bother? Yeah. The food's not going to be that good and I don't really like drinking on the plane,

I have to say. So my plan is, and this is what I did a couple of weeks ago when I went over for the recce i went with my mate tony and he was like all right we're gonna get pissed on the plan what are we doing and i'm like here's my plan i don't do that i don't eat i don't drink and then because i've got something to look forward to and when we get off the plane it's like oh my god we get to

eat and drink this is going to be so fucking good and so he's like you know what fuck it i'll do it as well and so then we got really excited towards the end of the trip and and we get off the plane we go to that 7-eleven for the first couple of beers we go and get food the food's amazing we're like this is the fucking best this was a great idea we just had a fucking great night because of it we ordered a couple of mains we ordered a heap of beers fuck you i'm glad we waited and then i i said the same thing to so i'm flying with brett blake yeah on this next flight yeah and i got about two words into that concept to him and he's like fuck that yeah i'm drinking the entire way yeah i'm drinking as soon as we get on the fucking

plane and before in the lounge i'm getting fucked up i'm like yeah okay like i said planes going out the window it is i mean yeah it's it is fun drinking on a plane because it's so unique it's such a different experience yeah i think but yeah because also i've done that where i've been like i'll hold off i'll just eat when i get in and then for whatever reason your landing's delayed you get held up in customs and then you get in and it's like midnight you stay in a part of town where you can't find anything open nothing is worse than that like holding off to have eaten at the destination sure and then getting held up and being like i'm going insane yeah whatever i end up eating i'm not going to enjoy because i'm so hungry that i'm just going to fucking funnel it in right but i know i know what you mean i i would rather do eat something

before the flight and then just like, yeah, hold off. Yes. But yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, that's a good point. If you get delayed, yeah, you're in all sorts of trouble. And then you get in at a time where there's nothing open.

Yeah. You go, cool. I did all of that for a sausage roll at 7-Eleven. Exactly. That fucking kills you. Yeah. So, yeah. All right.

Well, anyway, that's, it looks like I'm just going to be on a plane with Brett Blake getting absolutely, him getting absolutely blind and me sitting there going, that's nice. Yeah. I'm flying with some friends, but we're on different flights. They're on a different flight to me that leaves like five minutes before my flight. So I'm kind of like, all right, well, we'll go out to the airport together. And I guess when we land, we'll get a grab into the – a comm together. I think you guys will probably land five minutes before me.

Hey, if you can be bothered waiting around. But who knows? Maybe you'll get delayed. Maybe I'll get delayed. I guess we've just got to both have each other's flight number and just keep an eye on it when we get in. But it is one of those crazy things where it's like, how are these two separate flights that are literally five minutes apart

and going to the same destination? Yeah, that's weird. One's a new pilot. how are these two separate flights that are literally five minutes apart and going to the same destination? Yeah. That's weird. One's a new pilot. It's like, just let's make them five minutes apart. You can just follow me. Yeah. If you don't know the way to Singapore.

You can just get in my slipstream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll leave the back lights on. Yeah. You just follow me. If you found out that every Jetstar flight was cheap because it was just, yeah, getting drift off the back of another plane. It was following another plane.

Spending less on fuel. Following a more experienced pilot. So we don't need navigation, we don't need a good pilot, and we don't need as much fuel. We don't need radar. Yeah. Yeah. That's why it's so cheap. Yeah, we turn the radar off.

That actually sucks up a lot of the battery. Yeah. That costs a lot of money. That's why the flights are so cheap because they just have less stuff in there and they just copy another plane. We sold our radar to someone else. Yeah. That'll be good.

Well, Liz Gunner. Thanks, Gunner. I'm glad you did. Thanks, Lisa? Wait. Liz. Liz. Liz.

You get a baseball bat out and you threaten the whole audience. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm just assuming that everyone in every audience is intimately familiar with a specific scene from Goodfellas.

Yeah. There'd be a good wedge of them that would be. There would be a good chunk, yeah. And also you taking offence at being on stage at a stand-up show and people laughing at you. Funny how? Yeah. Funny like I'm a clown?

Yeah. Yeah. All right, I'll memorise the speech and I'll do it every night during the podcast at the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival. Do it at the – we're going to do stand-up. Yeah. You know, you can do that. Funny how?

Oh, really? Yeah. Okay.

What is above Italy, like up the ass? You know, you go all the way up the... What's the... You track it all the way. All the way up. Up the skirt. I've found the anus of Italy. Yeah, yeah.

Is the anus in Hungary or, you know, something like that? Spain? I'm still... I mean, I'm still a bit rattled from the turbulence. I don't want to get into geography. We'll get it wrong. I'm not going to look it up. Someone, again, this is your... We don't give enough get into geography. We'll get it wrong. I'm not going to look it up. Someone, again,

this is your... We don't give enough homework out to the listeners of this show. Look up what would be the anus of Italy. Yes. And then post it. If you go up the leg,

all the way up, what would be right up the clacker of Europe? And then post it and we're doing this a week before it goes out so we won't remember having said it

and we'll be like, why have you put this in our Facebook group? And Photoshop it so you have got your pants down, you have your dick up the ass of whatever part of Europe it is to indicate where the anus is. Thank you. Yeah. It's not a big ask.

Thanks. Well, thanks, Melissa De Niro. Thanks for, I mean, look, I would love to think that you are related to Rob De Niro. Trying to keep a low profile. You've just changed your name slightly to throw the scent off. Yeah, that's good. When you just have to say to everyone, no, it's like changing your name to Pacino.

So it's like, no, I'm not related to that famous Italian actor. Yeah. We've got a completely different name to Robert De Niro. We didn't even mention Robert De Niro. Yeah. Oh, okay. Sorry. Well, thanks, Melissa um good for you her um her contributions

were a lot better earlier on and her later contributions to our patron account have been not very do you want to hear watchable do you want to hear my favorite um Japanese actor yes uh Al Pacinko okay Okay, that's pretty cool. From the movie Scent of a Woman's Used Underpants. God. That's hilarious. That's all right. Al Pacinko.

Yeah. Do you want to... That's all right. Do you want to hear my favorite... I don't know what I can do with that, but that's something. Do you want to hear my favorite Italian computer game? Acclaimed Italian computer game? Acclaimed Italian-American computer game?

Sure. Robert Guitar Hero. Yep. Yeah? Okay. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Sure. Funny how. In no way. Funny how. In no way. Funny how. It's not. Convoluted how. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man.

That takes effort to make something that bad. Thanks, Melissa De Niro. Thank you to Patreon subscriber Alberto Rosen. Okay. Wow. Rosen. Okay. Wow. Rosen. Alberto. Alberto.

Yeah. That's definitely the first Alberto that's ever subscribed. Yeah. Is Alberto, not to be offensive, but is Alberto an actual name or are you just, you know, you get a bit older and you're like, I'm putting it, you know, like me with Tommy. It's not on my birth certificate, but it's like, I'm going to put a bit of, going to chuck a bit of sauce on it. Well, you think Alberto's a nickname? Well, not a nickname, but like, yeah, I me with Tommy. It's not on my birth certificate, but it's like, I'm going to chuck a bit of sauce on this. Well, you think Alberto's a nickname.

Well, not a nickname, but like, yeah, I don't know. God. I'm just riffing. I'm just trying to fucking riff, brother. That's an old school. Fuck, this is very funny. Well, very weird. Funny how?

Weird how? Weird like I'm doing parody songs? I've just chucked Alberto Rosen into Facebook to look it up. The first result. Can you tell me what the picture is of? What am I looking at there? Alberto Rosen. What's the profile pic right there?

Oh, shit. That is fucking... That's weird, isn't it? That's scary. It's not scary, but it is weird. It's Al Pacino. It's Al Pacino. That is fucking... That's weird, isn't it? That's scary. It's not scary, but it is weird. It's Al Pacino. It's Al Pacino. That is genuinely bizarre.

Yeah. It's a picture of Al Pacino. Is this you? Is his profile picture just like... It's different for everyone who looks at it. It's just the algorithm. So whatever your computer hears you talking about right before you look him up on Facebook,

it makes that the profile pic. I mean, that's not Al Pacino's real name, is it? Alberto Rosen? Yeah. I'm going to look it up. Fuck. No, it's Alfredo James Pacino. Oh, damn.

Yeah, damn. That would have been even more insane. I wanted... That would have been the best conspiracy theory. We were just randomly talking about Al Pacino for really no discernible reason. No. No. But still weird that the next, that the very next guy has his, I mean, he must have been

listening to us talk about, talk about Al Pacino and been like, oh, like the guy who's in my profile pic. Yeah. Yes. And then next minute we're reading out his name. Yes. And then he's thinking, God, I hope they do what they always do and look at me up on Facebook. Well, I might not be the same guy.

I might not be the same guy on Facebook, I think. Well, let us know. Let us know. Let us know what is your profile pic. You know what? I would love, if you think you're getting close to being read out on the show, can you change your profile pic on Facebook to our faces? Yeah, that's good. Just so we know definitely you're the guy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or just text that says, yes, Tommy and Carl, this is me. Yes. No, I want our faces. I think that would be more fun. That is good. Yeah. If you think you're getting close, I'm looking in the millionaire group on Facebook.

There's no Alberto Rosen. There's no Alberto Rosen in there. Okay. Interesting. You're welcome, mate. If you want to come in, the water's beautiful in here. Get in there. We do all sorts of things like post occasionally.

Yeah. It's pretty cool. Yeah. Pretty cool in there. Yeah. You can really say anything in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a bit unlike most Facebook groups.

Yeah. Wokeness hasn't come for the little dum-dum club millionaire that's right you can say whatever you want in there yeah it's really open-minded um yeah the left haven't gotten to know yeah in there the far left yeah yeah there's actually once you get acceptance into the group we give you an internet stool to sit there and just tee off on whatever you think is different from 20 years ago. Yeah. Speaking, I watched a, I saw a clip on Instagram of one of the guys who makes hacks and he was on this podcast

and they've like played him that clip of Seinfeld going like, yeah, TV comedy sucks now, you know, where it recently was in the press. And then they just like go to the guy from Axl, like, what do you think of this? I was like, fuck, that's annoying. Like, I would hate being in that interview and having to like answer to that, you know what I mean? Like having to like being put on the spot to respond to it.

I'd be like, oh man, I don't really want to talk about it. Who cares? Who do you think is the number one person in the world that you would talk shit about now, but if you met them, you'd be like, oh my God you think is the number one person in the world that you would talk shit about now, but if you met them, you'd be like, oh my God, this is the best. And you have to fucking suck it all up. That's a great question. Like, probably anyone, really.

Like, probably, honestly, anyone that you've talked shit about. Assuming you just met them at a party or through a friend or whatever yeah you're probably gonna have like a fine interaction with them and walk away and be like yeah cool they're all right isn't there anyone that you would well put it the other way then is there anyone that you would talk about talk shit about that you would then meet in a social setting and then just sort of say not for me walk away or anything like that no you don't you wouldn't do it? No. No. Even just like be at one end of a party and just on purpose make sure you don't meet them then?

You're not even going to do that. God, you're such a cuck. No. Stand up for your beliefs. No. No. No. I mean, there'd be people who I wouldn't be like going out of my way to meet.

But I mean, I don't want to be. If I'm at a party, I don't want to be fucking wasting energy being like looking over my shoulder being like, oh, I want to not fucking engage with that person. Who can be bothered? I want to have a good time. I'm at a party. Yeah. What if it's a bad party?

Oh, if it's a bad party. It could be even worse. Well, if it's a bad party, then I'm like going out of my way to talk to them. Oh, right. Because I'm like, well, this is already bad okay i may as well just double down fucking torpedo this get a story exactly get a story out of it but no that's like classic you know you have your people that especially like before you do comedy or whatever but like you're always having things where you're like not really a fan of someone's work and then you meet them and they're like fine you have a good interaction with them and you're like yeah okay maybe i was wrong i was thinking that last week i said something bad

about someone's comedy on the show last week or i'm talking dumb no i can't remember fucking at some point the other week and um that's sort of i think it's sort of like an almost mini rule on when we talk about comedy and comedians is that not to talk shit about someone's comedy because once you get in there we're all trying to do the same thing 100 none of us are that different it has to be someone who's real fucking shitty yeah to sort of go check this cunt out yeah so you try not to do it because we're all we're all like pre-comedy i think people when people start doing comedy you have that thing in your head where you come in and you go, yeah, all these cunts suck. I'll go and come in here and do my comedy.

And then you quickly realize, oh, that person who I think sucks is still way better than me. Yeah. And I'm not going to be anywhere near as good as them for five years at least. Yeah. So why am I wasting my energy fucking railing against someone who I think is shit? And they're way better than me, which means I'm super shit. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

So we're all trying. No one's doing a bad thing. We're offending by doing a thing called trying to make people laugh. Yeah, exactly. Don't get too stirred up about who's bad or who's good at it. But having said that, if you ever see me at a show, hit me up and I'll let you know the 10 shittest cunts in comedy. So wait, what's your answer to

the question uh which one i can't remember what it was you're at a party there's someone there who you hate and you oh you would you'd have to suck up yeah yeah yeah yeah instead of saying you know oh this cunt sucks or whatever um i'm trying to think of someone i don't particularly like in comedy or that i've talked shit about and I can't really. Oh, you know what? It would be someone like Rob Schneider or someone like that. You know, someone that I'm like. So the scenario is you're at a party, you meet them.

Yeah. And then you're going, by the way, I think you suck. No, no, no, no. No, it's not that it's more like i think it's a bit rough to sort of like if you were sitting here and going yeah you know rob schneider what a dickhead he sucks whatever you wouldn't say that to their face but then i think what you you know you're at a party and then to think that to say to other people to talk out of school like that but then be at a party and and then actually go up to him and go, hey, man, can I get a photo? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure.

Yeah. I wouldn't be chasing the photo, but here's a good example where I can imagine you meet him at a party and you just have this great time with him. Yeah. And then you're coming back and you're like, you know who was a fucking really good hang at that party? Rob Schneider. Yeah. Cool guy. Really fun.

Yeah. I wouldn't go that far, but I would say he'd be someone I'd be tempted to get a photo with. Right. Because it would be funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's been in some movies.

Yeah, yeah. Enjoyed and stuff like that. Yeah, I loved you, Spigolo, back in the day. He's someone that, he was on the show, he was on the project a few weeks ago. Oh, really? When I was in there working, and there was a buzz around the office in terms of them going is he going to be a bad person to talk to or not yeah because he's gone a bit fucking cuckoo yeah i think and i think they're all a bit worried about it and uh i think it

ended up being okay right he wasn't like you know that thing it was like oh what if he comes on our national tv show and goes fucking berserk It's like yeah He's got something to sell Yeah He's not No one's that dumb Yeah yeah yeah

Sort of He's done He's done like He's done talk shows And press and stuff Yeah yeah yeah You don't just He gets it

If you've got a bad Fucking conspiracy theory It doesn't mean you need To fucking go mental Every second of every day I have imagined Like we've talked about some of these like internet guys who are like you know really full-on and like not our

cup of tea and whatever and the real like tell it like it is kind of guys like we've we've talked some kind of shit about them in the past and i have imagined myself in interaction where i'm like on at a gig with one of them and they know that we've talked shit you know what i mean like i have imagined myself like how would that interaction go if they were to call me pull me up on it and be like hey you fucking talked shit about this yeah i just would have to go yeah i just what you do is not for me that's okay yeah you probably think i suck too that's all right man we've had a couple people that we've uh talked shit about that are local australian people that have then tried to pull us up on it and just a bit like yeah yeah and then

they get angry at us and then I'm I'm a bit like I don't care yeah that's fine I I get that while you're angry back down to earth a bit though I mean it doesn't whoever it is it's like I don't know if I can spend my time just talking shit about people yeah I agree I agree but also whatever um thanks Alberto Rosen. Good for you for inspiring that beautiful chat that we've just had. Really deep. Yeah. Some big lessons that we learned within there.

There's a few options here. There's someone that lives in Victoria who you'd like to think it probably is. If it is the person in Victoria, he's a board member. Okay. For the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing. Okay. Interesting. Psychotherapist and family therapist.

New sponsor. Might be. He might be just. Listening to this show might be just work for him. Yeah. Yeah. He might be doing his PhD on this. See how the other half live.

Oh God, it's worse than I ever could have imagined. He's just showing this to patients and going, look, you think you're fucked up? Listen to this.

Get a load of this. Yeah. I haven't checked him in the Millionaires Group. Let's check the Millionaires Group. Guys, if you've been read out on the show,

feel free to join the gang in here in our little Facebook group. He's not in there either. No. God. Damn. We put on this beautiful special group that we occasionally post in that's slightly different content to the people aware of the Little Dumb Dumb Club or the fan page. It's got a way funnier banner image.

Yes. That Reid Parker made of us. A year or two ago. Is it from Dumb and Dumber? It's from before. It Reid Parker made of us. A year or two ago. Is it from Dumb and Dumber? It's from before. Yeah, it's from before. But it's from

Dumb and Dumber, right? I think so, yeah. It's the two of them in the hot tub but it's us. Yeah. Listen to this, guys. He's put our heads

on other people's bodies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is one of the great cutaways in a movie. Worth signing up for. Of just them. Cutting to them having a real earnest discussion in a fucking heart-shaped spa bath.

I don't remember it. You look at it every fucking day on Facebook. No, but I don't remember the movie, the bit in the movie. But I did. Have you seen this sometimes on Facebook? It'll pop up. It'll say, I get a lot of movie recommendations there because I get movie trivia pop up and I keep reading it and then it just gives me more and more now.

And someone's just tried to deep fake a new dumb and dumber movie for some weird reason i get i get all sorts of that i get all of these of like oh they've announced a new um breaking bad follow-up series and it's called heisenberg and like i saw that one it's such a weird like what is this for for? Like, what's the end game here? And it's maddening because it's like, I mean, I can't help myself. I click on the comments, which, of course, then inspires the algorithm to show me more of it. But it's like half people going like, oh, my God, why don't Netflix just leave it alone?

Breaking Bad finished perfectly. Why are they bringing it back? And then other people going like, it's not real, you fucking idiot. Like, why does any of this exist? It so weird yeah i like it i pop i yeah again i couldn't help myself i went into a really badly photoshopped announcement of dumb and dumber three yeah and i just loved it because it was like either it was an ai blurb or it was a really fucking dumb cunt that was not quite as good as AI. I just assume they're all AI.

These guys are back together after all these years and they're getting through all manners of scrapes and funny little things that happened to them along the way. And it's like, imagine announcing, imagine making a new Dumb and Dumber and that's the promo you put out. That vague. Guess what? They're back and they're getting into all sorts of things happening. Well, that actual new one was not even that long ago, right?

No, man. I saw that. It was like 10 years ago. Really? That's old now. Damn. It's 10 years ago. Fuck.

I never watched it. I think I watched. You know what? Weirdly enough, after that, I did go, did I watch it? So I went onto the Wikipedia page to go through the synopsis yeah the plot and i was reading it and i was like i don't remember any of this and also i can't even i was like am i an idiot or am i not keeping up with the plot of dumb and dumber too yeah i was reading the reading the plot not quite understanding what was going on yeah okay so um i think i

definitely watched the start of it and then I didn't watch the rest of it, I reckon. Yeah, okay. I think I faded out of it. That's a shame. Yeah, which I can't wait to do the same with Happy Gilmore 2. You're going to have to go in. Most of the characters have died and then all of a sudden you're watching.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you're watching. It is a shame when something dog shit gets announced that you don't think should exist, but it is a follow-on from a thing that you do like and you just know you're like, I'm probably going to have to watch that, unfortunately. Yeah, and then all of a sudden you've got

new characters in the movie that are replacing the old ones. All of a sudden, for some reason, Machine Gun Kelly's in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, this is cool. I was saying to Laurenuren like i just see this fucking pop tarts movie that jerry seinfeld made that people say is really bad and she's like i bet you end up watching it i'm like i'm not gonna fucking watch it and then the more and more i hear about it i do find myself going i kind of do want to see what this is all about if it's as bad as people say but i just also don't want to give her the satisfaction of finding me watch's as bad as people say but i just also don't want to give

her the satisfaction of finding me watch the fucking pop tarts movie and be like oh so you don't want to watch real housewives with me because that's fucking rot but you're going to sit down and watch the jerry seinfeld pop tarts movie yeah i gotta really stick to my guns on this one well i won't watch it but you know i i was listening to a podcast the other day where it said uh he was talking about George Wallace, my friend George Wallace. He's in it somewhere at some point, so maybe I should watch it just to see. Support him.

See my friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we'll see. Thanks, Robert Carrickin. Let's do one more, and then let's go home. That's a very easy job for you. Yeah. Slightly harder for me.

German comedy. The comedy. Robert the Comedy. That would be good. Comedy how? Like comedy ha-ha? Yeah. Having V as a middle name is a very good idea, I reckon.

Yep. Being called Carl the Chandler. Carl the Chandler. That would be good. Yeah. That's going to inspire a fair bit of fucking talk. That's not bad. I think that as a middle name.

It's very Looney Tunes. Is it? Kind of. Well, actually, no. There's no that in there, is there? Looney the Tunes. Looney the Tunes. Yeah.

Marry the Melodies. They made a bunch of new Looney Tunes, like, short cartoons. I bet they fucking did. And they're good. Are they did. And they're good. Are they? Yeah, they're good. Because I bet, you know what?

My daughter, Little Blanket, loves Bugs Bunny. Yeah. But she's only been watching the 1940s and whatever stuff and every time the new ones come up,

I skip them. I go, no, no, no, we're not watching those ones. Well, they've made like a couple of new sort of versions of it. There was one that's kind of like

more of a, I don't know, like a show where they're all like i don't know hanging out living in a house together or whatever and then there's one that the series it's on binge it's just called looney tunes cartoons and it's like they've made them in the style of like the old shorts so they've got like the classic like the old intro and it's like been executive produced by this guy who's made other stuff, but he's a real deep head. So he's really tried to make them 40s sensibility. Bugs is watching the baseball and his aerial goes out,

so he goes to this mad scientist's lair to try and watch the baseball there and he's fucking around with that big red hairy cunt thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's all that kind of shit. Oh, the characters are coming back. Yeah, yeah, it's all that sort of stuff. I'll have a look. Yeah, they're good. I'm enjoying them. Okay, I characters are coming back. Yeah, it's all that.
