Welcome once again into the Little Dum Dum Club

for another week. Thank you very much for joining us. My name is Tommy Daslow, and with me is always the other half of the program, Carl Chandler. G'day, dickhead. And joining us today, two very special guests. Please welcome back into the Little dum-dum club,

Bron Lewis and Melanie Bracewell. I know this feels weird. Two guys on a podcast, but yes, it can be done. We can do comedy too. But here's the twist, everyone. We're white. Don't worry. We'll be here to be that, like, women saying,

oh, you boys. Sort of presence that you guys need. Yeah. Thank you. We'll set them up for you to knock them down. Yeah. Well, there's more female people on the show than listening to it at this point. So that's exciting.

That's huge. Do you know the breakdown of gender? No, I don't know if you can get that done. I saw it like in terms of our Facebook fans, it's about two-thirds. It's about 65-35, I think. Okay. Boys to girls. You didn't have to clarify that.

That is two-thirds. That is weirdly my Instagram following as well. Really? Yeah. It's people from having paid attention being like, my wife says I'm not allowed to follow you, but I will. Interesting. That's very crazy.

That's awesome. Well, we do have another guest here today that we haven't introduced yet. Oh, yes. Just to get the masculine energy back up to over 50%. That is Charles. What sort of a dog? He's a Maltese Shih Tzu.

Now, you sent me a message and I didn't really read back and didn't really remember the specificity of what you required, but you did say the last message, is it okay to bring Charles with me? And I forgot what your boyfriend's name was. And I thought there was there's something about did she say

you were going to hospital with Charles but in hindsight it was the vet no I was going to the groomers so I was going to the groomers

I was like do you think I was taking my boyfriend for a haircut and then I didn't just bring him yes dropping him off

at the house of the guy from Hey Dad I said sure if you want and I was like okay the difference in that is that I either have to drive him home or I bring him here, like straight to be here early.

And you're like, sure if you want. I was like, it's not that I want to. It's just like the position. I didn't really understand. I didn't want to ask any questions. I didn't know if you brought your boyfriend to a hospital and then you can't put him by himself. I was thinking, is he just going to sit in the corner and we just do the podcast yeah with a cone around his head yeah which would you

prefer carl boyfriend being here or dog being here uh it's a tough one because i feel like because now the cat has like crunchy is hidden somewhere and there's never been a dog in this house and the cat is going to go fucking mental he's's not really a dog, though. Look at him. He's tiny. He's a tough cat. He's tiny. And he's sedated. He's nearly a dog. He's off his face. He had to be sedated to go to the groomer, so he's quite chill right now.

Yeah, he looks like you want him at the Melbourne show. He looks like your boyfriend beat the strongman contest, you know, the, like, hit the little bell at the end and you got to walk away with little Charles. Yeah, that's the sort of dog that when me and my daughter walk to school, she's allowed to say hello to. So that's the sort of tame level of dog that dog is. I get that sometimes down the street, but some people think the opposite, is that I hear like a mum going, don't pat the little ones.

They're the nippy ones. Which is true, right? Isn't the little one your dog bite, Tommy? No, he's not a biter. He's not a biter. He's not a biter. He's a sucker. It is until we get him into the fights

I do love it though that we have two female guests on the show and we're like alright we'll have two women in but one of you has to bring a male of

whatever species it can be man or beast it doesn't matter We don't want this being a fair fight We want an engine man

I did feel like as soon as I was bringing Charles in you did seem a little bit like oh yeah I do have a cat I was like well I did tell you as soon as I was bringing Charles in, you did seem a little bit like, oh, yeah, I do have a cat. I was like, well, I did tell you. I just thought your boyfriend would get along with my cat,

so I didn't really make any plans. Yeah. I want the dog and the cat to start fighting mid-pod. Oh, I would hate that. That's going to be great comedy. I don't think my cat really knows that dogs exist. The cat's very sheltered. The cat hasn't really left the house.

But your cat's huge. It's a big cat. I think Charles would lose this fight. Yes. Crunchy would eat him, I reckon. I don't know. Charles is just disinterested in any other animal. He's only interested in humans.

Right. Okay. And especially at the moment he's sedated. So he's on the nod. He's on the doggy narrow. I'm also sedated. I just go. Just to keep things interesting.

Give me a little tester. One for you, one for me. What sedation is it? What is it? Do you know what I found out is that they are actually the same drug. It is like a Valium. So you could technically take dog sedative

and it would work for you as well. Great. Yeah. But don't try this at home, please. I will. Next time I go to Thailand, I'll be shopping for your dog Don't worry

I'll bring something back Thank you Find a dodgy Thai vet Yeah It's going to give you some Illegal You just came back Is weed still legal there?

Absolutely Okay great Good to know Yeah More than legal As all of our guests found out During our podcast And all of our listeners

In fact I think it's illegal To not do it Yes They swab you on the way out they're like your blood's clean in the clink there's there we we did a live show where we were just like very naively like it was like we were joking about one of the guests you know greening out on stage and then we just sort of realized it just went is anyone else on edibles right now and the entire

room the entire room everyone and we were like, we thought we weren't that funny. Like we were destroying. I was like, this isn't even our best gear. Yeah. That's how I got into stand-up comedy. One of the reasons is because Lucas, my partner, he loves getting stoned, but he's one of the giggliest stoners in the world. So we'd hang out and I don't smoke, but I'd be on the wines,

he'd be on the joints, and then everything I said he'd laugh so loud at and I was like, I think I should start comedy. And then I did and that's why I'm here. And then did you find very first gig like huge drop off in the community? Yeah. No, it was the first gig was great because it like everyone's first gig. Your first gig was at Amsterdam. So the Dumb Dumb Club live pod.

No, and then the second gig was dreadful, so not enough stoners in there. But we had someone in the audience, Carl, you and I, at Basement once who greened out. A couple of weeks ago. Yeah. Didn't green out. Well, was green.

That's what he's – He's been like, oh, I'm so funny. The crowd is getting paranoid. Conspiracy theories. No, there was a row of blokes at the back and they had like track suits and lots of heavy jewellery. Young kids. Yeah.

They were like in their early 20s. One guy was kind of on the nod and I thought that he was just having a dreadful time. And I was like, this guy hates it. And they'd come in and I'd sort of given them a warning. I was like, is this going to be a Bucks night? You know, you guys aren't going to get rowdy or anything. They're like, no, no, we're fine. I'm like, okay, hates it. And they'd come in and I'd sort of given them a warning. I was like, is this going to be a Bucks night? You know, you guys aren't going to get rowdy or anything. They're like, no, no, we're fine. I'm like, okay, maybe they are all right.

But then, yeah, one of them started going on the nod a little bit. Yeah. I was like, he hates this. He hates it so much. I thought maybe he just hated female comedians, but he was like that for even the boys. Even the boys. Wow.

I know. The disrespect. The disrespect was beyond me. And then. Even the best one. And then we, I think, I can't remember, I think maybe you nudged me and I looked at him and he was vomiting into a pint, like filling the pint. Into an empty pint glass.

Okay, empty glass. So then he was at the back and so then I was like, okay, I'm in charge here. I have to do something. And one of them looked over at me and was like, oh, no, we're all good. I'm like, you can't say that with that visual. You can't convince me. I can see they're not good. I get the logic, though.

In your head, if you're that guy, you're like, I'm taking care of it. I'm vomiting into the glass. I'm not making a mess on the floor. There was no mess. It's contained. It's okay. Relax. For some reason, it feels worse. The mess. It's contained. It's okay. Relax. For some reason,

it feels worse. The fact that it's contained feels so bad. And it's not even a pot, it's a pint. He's filling the pint. You've got a measurement of the exact amount of vomit.

He's got a Guinness glass. He's trying to split the G. And you know the problem with the pint. There's a better head on this one. You leave the pint and it always gets too warm

if you don't have it straight away. So then he fills his pine and then like his mates are like look going oh we're looking after him i'm like and they they think i'm gonna kick them out yeah and they go oh no do we have to go and i said no no you don't have to go can you just look after him though and they go yeah no worries so they sort of pick him up and they go to go to the toilet. And then they put the pint glass down on the ground and go, no, don't leave the fucking pint of vomit there. Like to start with, you're going to the toilet, bring it there. Secondly, obviously you're going to kick it over.

We're going to have vomit all over the place. And then they dealt with you. Yeah, it was two pints over that stage. And one guy walked over because I was hosting. So I think he might have thought that I was the boss lady and he came over to me holding the two pints and he said, I'm sorry, I'm such a big fan. We're having a really good time.

We are really – and I could smell it. Two pints of vomit. Wait, there's two now? Two pints. There's a second blast. He filled one and they were ready to go with the second pint and once that one was finished, they put a second one under his mouth. Oh, my God.

Just swiping it across. Yeah, yeah. It was done very well. And then he took it to the bathroom to empty it. That's so good, though. The image of someone holding double fisting pints of vomit and then saying to you, I'm such a big fan. I love the uncharacteristic leniency from you where you've gone over and they've gone,

nah, it's all under control. And you're like, all right, boys. It begs the question, what do you have to do to get kicked out of the basement? All right, once there's a third pint glass, that's it. I'm going to have to step in and evict you from the venue. They weren't being loud. You were in a really good mood. I would have thought they were going to get kicked out for sure.

You were like, what, for vomit? No, that's fine. They were quietly vomiting. There was no sort of? For vomit? No, that's fine. They were quietly vomiting. There was no sort of like thunderous chunder or anything like that. This is true. No one noticed around. The people in front of them didn't notice.

It was a very quiet vomit. I'll give it to him. It's a red flag already when you said track suits and heavy jewellery on 20-year-olds. Immediately you're like, something's up here. Yeah. Something's not adding up. For anyone who wants to go to the basement comedy, there's the rules right there. No filming. I'll chuck you out.

But if you chuck into a pint glass, you can stay. You can hang. It's fine. Pretty lax dress code. Tracksuit's fine just as long as there's a bit of bling. Yeah, shush it up. And it's a good review and a bad review of the comedy at the same time. I'm sure they were vomiting while they were listening to it.

But they weren't leaving. No, they weren't. They were hanging out. They were begging to stay. Imagine being somewhere and vomiting. Like, I wouldn't do this. Vomiting somewhere and then going, well, that's done. I want to hang around.

Like, I'm not immediately leaving. Yeah. Isn't that the time to leave? That reeks of a guy who then gets home and gets on Google Reviews and is like, one star. This comedy made me sick. You know, it's like it's always the person that's gotten a bit of leniency. Like, any time you see, like, a business owner, like,

reply to a review, it's like, yeah, I remember you. You fucking came in and you were, like, vomiting everywhere and you called my waiter a cunt. Like, the gall of you. So there was a Google review of basement condoms the other day that I had to get taken down. Really? Can you do that?

Well, yes. And I can show you how and why because I thought, how do you argue against a bad review? But then there was this little bit where I'm like, this is irrefutable. So there was like a one-star review and it was like, this is the worst comedy I've ever seen. It was terrible. It was open mic.

I hated it. It was so bad. and they've also reviewed nick capp and you're like well it's not the worst comedy you've ever seen low blow yeah cheap shot but it said oh it was on a then it said oh yeah i mean it was a waste of a sunday night and i go aha yeah the smoking gun didn't have a show in there on a sunday night and i thought oh i've been so clever here i've got i've got the little thing I'll be able to send through to Google Review and go, this is the proof we don't have any shows on Sunday. I can cross-reference this.

And then the next sentence is, yeah, it wasn't worth climbing up the stairs. I'm like, fuck, it's called Basement Comedy Club. Yes. If you had to climb up the stairs, you're at the wrong location. This is not – they've gone to a different place. This person just went to the second level of Morris House and someone told them like a racist joke. The only time you climb up the stairs in the basement

would be if they were in the green room. So it wasn't someone on your lineup. Do you remember the name of the reviewer? It was the chef. It was the chef that went in there for a break and then walked out and watched the show. Do you remember the name of the reviewer? No.

It was Bromwen. No. It actually was. Because you screenshot and sent it to reviewer? No. It was Bromwen. No. It actually was. Because you screenshot and sent it to me. I was like, is he accusing me of writing this? Oh, really? And then when you say you actually do have to walk upstairs from the green room, maybe I did write it. Yeah.

And then I vomited in a pint. He sent the real review. Have you guys had a wine glass? Have you guys had a wine glass? Sorry. Sorry. Hey, spoilers. We were going to talk about the dessert menu later. Have any of you guys ever stayed at an Airbnb or a hotel or whatever

where you've had to log? Some places you stay and they've got their own house Netflix account that you can just use. Yes. But then every now and then if you want to use it, you'll have to've got their own house Netflix account that you can just use. But then every now and then if you want to use it, you'll have to log into your own thing. And it's always just it hangs over you for the whole stay because you're like, I've got to remember to log out of that. Last night Lauren came into the bedroom and was like,

oh, yeah, just watching a bit of The Office, were you? I'm like, what? And she's like, look at this, recently watched on Binge, and it was like between the like two last things we'd watched together, just like eight episodes of The American Office. I'm like, that wasn't me. And so now we're like, fuck, who's in our Binge account? But it was happening like current.

It was like it kept updating like as we're sitting there looking at it, every like 20 minutes it'd show up in the like you know continue watching like another episode of it and so we were racking our brains like where have we stayed where we've like logged into our binge account that someone now is just like turned up and been like oh this is all right it's just so funny that they're ready to go the way you started that story would be like it's like that's something you would hide from your partner watching nine episodes of the office like yeah i'm watching like i can watch, that's something you would hide from your partner. Watching nine episodes of The Office, like, I can watch porn, that's fine.

But she did not think I think Dwight is funny. I did, I did take offence to it. I'm like, not the American one. Sitting around taking down eight episodes. It is funny to imagine... Tommy, you watched The Orifice? How disgusting. Oh, no. It is funny to imagine a couple

on a break at dalesford or whatever and they're just like binge is logged in oh finally we can catch up on we never got around to finishing the u.s office back in the day we can start at season five but then we were just kind of trying to figure out like how do you like how could we kick people out of our because some things you can't you change your password straight away so we did but it but it doesn't it i don't think it immediately kicks people off binge is a shitty serve it doesn't like other things you can like certain google accounts like yeah you can hit a button where it's like log out everyone who's logged in on this like right now and so lauren went on to our profile on there and just changed the name to, all in caps, NO MORE OFFICE.

Log out, please. And I was like, even though they're just using someone's account, this just kind of makes you look like the bad guy. Like, this is such a Karen move. Can you imagine sitting there and just like all of a sudden going back to the homepage and you see that's come up? You just would picture some fucking old battle axe who's just sitting there. But not only that, you're like, you just would picture some like fucking old battle axe who's just sitting there. But not only that, you then go, this is so funny

because they don't know how to get rid of me. Exactly. This is the only thing they can think of. If you ask nicely, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She yelled it. There's something deeply personal about someone like interfering with your algorithm.

Yeah, exactly. As well, like there's like now you're going to get recommended all of these similar shows. It's going to build this taste problem. Pass and wreck and mob family. That's all you're going to get recommended all of these similar shows it's going to build this taste program and modern family that's all we're going to be seeing exactly yeah if that was if i'm if i'm that person and that comes up i'm and i'm just then going like i've got to plow binge for like the closest thing to porno i can find on here i just got to start watching all the most like objectionable shit i can find just to really clog up there recently well there's all of that stuff on Bing.

Babe, you don't understand. I'm just trying to clog up their algorithm. What a getaway. Yeah, because they hacked our RedTube account as well. Yeah, so weird. They're watching all sorts of weird stuff on there. I left New Zealand and I had a TV in our flat and I thought, you know what, I'm going to be the nice person and not sell the TV. The flat could

just have this TV. But it was logged into my YouTube and they still use my YouTube. I'm like, YouTube is free. I don't even have YouTube premium. Every so often I will get the weirdest recommendation ever. They're still on there? I'm suspicious that they are, but I'm not sure.

Your boyfriend Charles, has he been logging in? Yeah. Watching a bit of Scooby-Doo? Did you just move house again? Just moved house recently? No, no, I'm going to. And you're going to leave your TV there again?

No, no. It's just me and my boyfriend. You're doing better now than you were when you moved the first time. So you should be – She's less generous now. I should just leave so many appliances. That's what I keep reading a bit because I'm always watching like Thailand YouTube stuff and then whenever people move apartments, it's always like you move in and no one can

be bothered moving over there. So you just get the furniture. Oh, wow. Yeah. You don't move your own. You don't buy anything yourself. You just walk in. When you're inspecting the house, it's like, you know, you walk into a house and you're

going, oh, what would it look like if they took all this furniture out? Oh, you don't have to. This is your furniture. But what if you don't want that furniture? What if it's rank? Well, that's a good question. You just have to burn the house down and start again. I think so.

Christ almighty. It's hard life over there. I've always said it. I still haven't put me off it, but, you know, whatever. What is it about Thailand, like, specifically that you love so much? That's such a good question. Yeah. It's because I went there for the first time

and I just had the best ever first night. It was just an insane first night and I just fell in love that night. So you're chasing that high. You're chasing that high, yeah. It's a stand-up comedy. The first night I got there. It is. It was that guy that peaked in high school

and then keeps going back to do talks. Or they become a teacher. I remember being here, guys, for the first time. I was pretty crazy. School captain energy. It's got a root for the first time and then married that woman straight away. It'll never get better than this. We got there the first night.

My then-girlfriend went to bed. I walked out onto the beach. Best night of my life. She went to bed i walked out onto the beach i was just happy she was happy she was asleep cuddly man she looked so happy asleep and made me happy uh and i was on the beach in the middle of like i didn't know where i was and it was like 34 degrees or something and it was like cheap long neck beers and curry and I was sitting with my feet in the water and the table and the chairs were in the water and it was like 11 o'clock at night and I'm like, this is insane.

And then Bob Marley was playing as well, which I was like, this is terrible but in this situation, this is the best. And I was just like, oh my God, this is the best and I'm just like oh my god this is the best night of my life and do you try and replicate that when you go back yes and you're like

Brett Blake go to sleep lie there put in the white noise machine on yeah go to sleep or play no woman no cry either one yeah

we're hypnolling Brett just so he goes to sleep earlier and he can sleep brush your mullet now you try and recreate it here you order a butter chicken at 11pm sit with with your feet in the bathtub, just, you know. Butter chicken, how dare you?

Come on. A curry. A curry. Come on. Making a mockery of the serious thing we're talking about. The Thai dish of butter chicken. Oh, fuck you. One of the worst things anyone's ever said to me on this show.

No. You'll spice it up. You have a garlic naan with that just to keep things spicy. Even with chopsticks, it's fine. People are wrong. We just came from Basement Comedy Club. Yeah, we did. The TV show Postcards was filming there.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of – I remember Postcards from like, you know when you're like a dead shit and you like to kind of have a job but you're not at school anymore and you put on the telly in the afternoon and it's like either steady cook or postcards that's how i remember postcards maybe you catch the end of some weird movie that you've never heard of before since yeah it's usually christian has a christian vibe to it the hallmark channel yeah yeah so that's how I remember. So when you said to me, can you come do this postcards thing for Basement? I was like, this is my dream.

Yeah. Obviously, I'll do it. Yeah, yeah. Well, I thought, you know, you've got to think of someone on the way up. You can't get someone at the top to come and do Basement because it's the middle of the day. So it was literally,

do you want to know the two people I asked? Oh, nice. Oh, my God. This is a good game. It's going to hurt my feelings, isn't it? No, do you want to know the two people I asked? Oh, nice. Oh, my God. This is a good game. It's going to hurt my feelings, isn't it? No, no, it's not. Did Capa say no? No, no.

The vomiter. He was busy. I couldn't get him back. Yeah. I couldn't get that on camera. He was already too drunk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The two people between you and who else?

Just give us a name. Come on. Sam Taunton. No. No, he's too busy. Someone on the way up. Tor Snyder. Well, I didn't say on the way up.

Oh, okay. Oh, Charles. Good dog. Just try to bite me. You put me behind my back. Yeah, he's just logged on. The sedative just wore off. There we go.

Where am I? Fuck, I'm on a podcast. No. Someone else. Someone else. Is it a bloke or a woman? A bloke. It'm on a podcast. No. Someone else. Someone else. Is it a bloke or a woman? It's a bloke. Okay.

Someone else. Is everyone guessing or just me? Everyone. Okay. Mick Malloy. Yeah, it was either you and Mick Malloy. My twin. Okay.

Ben Lomas. Oh, that's a great guess, but it's not. McGinley. No. You're just going for warm-up, guys? Yes. Good energy. We'll get back to Lomas, but no, the answer is, incredibly,

I only asked two people, you and this other person, incredibly, I thought this person is a Monty for saying yes to being on postcards, but it was a no. Dave O'Neill. Oh oh you had him last time they said last time we did this it was with dave o'neill six years ago or something oh so you're just gonna reuse him no but i didn't even remember that he just said oh when you say dave o'neill's on the way up no no that's what i thought once he said no i said i went oh i better get someone on the way up. I've learned my lesson here. Young whippersnapper. Yeah, yeah.

I told Lucas, I was like, I'm going to do this thing for postcards. He was like, why do you ask you? And I said, because everyone else would have said no to this. No, no. I didn't. I didn't ask lots of people. I asked Dave O'Neill and I asked you. That's all. Because I thought O'Neill's a Monty for just doing any gig.

And then when he said no, I was like, oh, fuck it. That's when I need to get someone on the up instead of someone who's like too good for postcards. Like, how dare you, Dave O'Neill? Well, I'm not too good for postcards and I had a lovely time. Yeah, great. It's the crowd work of TV. It's like, yeah, what do you do for a job? Like, you go into the Heathcote Baker's Delight fucking, you know,

Smoko luncheon. Why can't you do TV? You were telling me about this for about five minutes the other day and you just kind of at the start you just kind of very quickly you were like, oh, yeah, they've got postcards coming in. And then you were just going into like the mechanics of organising this. And I thought you meant like printed postcards. Yeah.

But you were just like really getting granular about the organisation of this. I'm like, why is this such a fucking palaver to just get postcards printed off and why am I hearing about all this? Like, why does any of this matter? Why does Dave O'Neill not want to be on the postcard?

Why is this going to take up two hours out of your day on a Wednesday to go and oversee the postcard. Why is this going to take up two hours out of your day on a Wednesday to go and oversee this postcard production? Yeah, because I was like, I have to get the postcards done before we do the podcast. And who's buying postcards at a comedy show? That was great. I'm going to message my nan about this.

Wish you were here. Yeah. A little postcard of the guy spewing into a pinecrest. Beautiful. Ben Lomas, though. You brought up Ben Lomas. Good question. Good reference.

He did your show the other day. He did the cheap sex. He did. He was a sports reporter. You have like a rotating sort of a position there, sort of. Yes. Talking about the Tour de France. Yes.

Yeah, he was great. Tour of France. Oh, fuck. French. Right. It makes he was great. Tour of France, if you don't understand French. Oh, fuck. Right. It makes so much sense now. Thank you. Now that I've translated it, a lot of those jokes are probably funny now.

Just watching it at night going, why is it sunny in this part of Australia? I don't get it. I don't think you know what Le Snack means. It's crazy. It'll blow your mind. What do you think about this? Ben Lomas, he's on there. It's a bunch of jokes. You What do you think about this? Ben Lomas He's on there It's a bunch of jokes

You have vision And you have jokes And whatever And went out to lunch with him To help him Work on it with him Maybe write most of the jokes on it Like whatever you want to say

However you want to pronounce it So selfless I did think this feels very Chandler-esque Here we go Touch feels very Chandler-esque. Here we go. Touch of the Chandler. The guy in the green jacket is like, what? What does that mean?

It was mostly about Tom Ballard being fat. Look at this guy riding a bike. Tell you who you'd never catch doing that. Yeah. I'll tell you I'll tell you who loves France

Tom Ballard Buffet Creton the list goes on he's always on always on yes but

went to lunch two hour session get to the end of the two hour session go up had to pay my own bill didn't I not only that

they were trying to get me to pay his bill. He didn't before me. Ben Tider. You should be called, it's called Ben Tider. Let's take a pause. Let's take it again. We can do this. Let's take it again.

We can cut all this out. We can do this. We can cut all this out. Or I'll loop it eight times to make you look extra bad. Me and you will go to lunch and we'll work on this. Being like, tight ass. Yes.

Lomass tight ass. It's not too bad. That's good. I got too excited to do it but I said it very wrong. I think you've gotten into the dog sedatives. I'm just vomiting.

I know this is very comedy because I'm like, I went and wrote jokes with Lomas and then he left me with a bill but it's like moving house and then going to lunch afterwards and then just going oh thanks for moving everything

and then fucking off without paying the bill you gotta buy lunch don't you did you say excuse me you're gonna pay for my lunch you can't I mean you just held onto it and waited for a podcast thousands of people listened to

so I mean it has kind of paid off. It has. If I'm not going to get the money, I'm going to get the content out. Exactly. What's better, a meal or content? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did he use...

Did you watch it? Did he use your jokes? Yes, I watched it and he did... I got very upset because he muffed one of the jokes. Oh, my God. There was a... I'll tell you. I want to know which one it was.

All right, because I feel like there was a beautiful joke sitting there and he needed to point it out and he just didn't do it because there was a joke that went – there was a Tour de France thing where – no, it's not Tour de France. It's in France. So the Olympics are happening in France and they have to swim the river, which is called the Seine.

The Seine? Seine, yeah. Seine, right. So people are protesting by shitting into the water. That's their protesting. They're shitting into the water. So the setup is, and I knew that. So I said, and there was a beautiful bit of found footage,

and I said, this is what you do. You set it up like this. They have to do the swimming, the Olympic swimming. It's happening in the river. Residents aren't happy with that happening. So residents are protesting by shitting into the river. Residents aren't happy with that happening. So residents are protesting by shitting into the river.

But they're still trying to do it, even though the commentators can – even they know, like the journalists know. And then it cut to the footage and a lady was diving into the river and saying, well, she's still undeterred. And I go, undeterred? They even said undeterred? Yeah. And he just went, oh, yeah. She'll come in number two.

No, no, no, the joke was, I don't think the commentator even realised what they were saying, but undeterred having the double meaning. She's under a turd. She's in the river under a turd. I'm picturing everyone else in this cafe where you guys are eating and you're like, she's swimming around in shit. Everyone's shitting in shit. People are pissing in it.

Because I thought that. I thought that maybe people understood. They didn't. But then I think as it happened, yeah, it did need a point. Thank you. Someone needed to point it out and go, undeterred. But maybe not scream, undeterred. You guys. Like a shit

What's going on? Has he got an autocue in this situation? Has he like Well I've been shit ass Am I right guys? Get in Been slow ass There is an autocue for the

Been tight ass There we go Yeah there we go Or did we have that to start with I can't remember That's what I said Oh damn we got back there And you all said it was

You shit We loved it We loved it You just fucked it Yeah we were so distracted By the delivery Yeah it's fine No we have an autocue

For the throws to the clip So the control room Know when to press play Okay But the stuff afterwards You're on your own The stuff afterwards We don't put an autocue

So we can kind of surprise each other. Often our jokes, we don't run by each other so that we're actually laughing. Or in Ben's case, surprise yourself by saying the wrong thing. Yeah, exactly. There was one bit in there where he was like, I'm going to do this bit. And I was like, I wouldn't do that. And he went maverick. I was like, you can't do this bit.

And then he just did it anyway. And then I could see you guys on TV going, what the fuck's this? Now I want to know what that bit is because sometimes we're trying to so desperately think of a joke that like they cut to us

because they're like editing the show together and it's just another shot to cut to and we're sitting there just like we're like look insane

where I've had people tweet at me being like do you not like Mildresina you always look so like you're not paying attention. I'm like, no, that's just what my face looks like when I'm trying to construct a joke in my head. I'm like, hmm. No, what I loved was he said a thing and then he said to me, oh, I'll do this bit.

And I guess, oh, it doesn't make sense. I wouldn't do that bit. And then he does it. And then you guys go like, he goes, oh, yes, and such and such a swan. It's like a French swan. And then you guys go, and how oh yes and something such and such a swan it's like a french swan and then you guys go and how would that make sense that's why my face looks like that i'm trying to craft a joke or craft a way to throw him even further under the bus i'm trying to find a pint to spew into so did he message you after we went, it went really well, thanks very much?

He did. Great! Sometimes people would see that as great. Boy, you're undeterred joke fucking flop. Thanks a lot, shithead. Didn't take your invoice for some Uber Eats. He had his monobrow plucked for that. He did, he had his monobrow plucked for that. He did. He had his monobrow plucked for it.

He even posted it online. So he looked great. Maybe he was just so excited to have more than one eyebrow that he just went a bit rogue. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know the power of two eyebrows. I think I missed that. I missed that post about getting his monobrow plucked. The thing to do that. I missed that post. Yeah, yeah. Getting his monobrow pluck.

The thing she did is show me his baby. Our makeup lady ironically called Mon who said that she, that he should take it off. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.

She was right. I'm sorry, I just need to get in there. He was like, oh, I think it's fine. She said, no, no, trust me. Oh, really? He was like, okay, you're right.

Yeah, yeah. It's coming back in. It's a statement. Yeah. It's a statement. Bring back the monobrow. Yeah, she can. As a makeup person, you're right. Yeah, yeah. It's coming back in. It's a statement. Yeah. It's a statement. Bring back the mono. Yeah, as a makeup person, you can't let that go out and have people go, is this? Mon, was this yours?

Was this a choice? Yeah. Can you get the pencil out and make it a little bit thicker? Give me a fake one. Did you turn up late today? I want to look like the little evil baby from The Simpsons. Channel 10 property. Keeping it all in-house, keeping it all in the family.

Well, Mel, yeah, great to have you here. You're sort of promoting the cheap seats insofar as you're discussing it. Yeah, I mean, you brought it up. You brought it up. Well, they were just telling us off air that you went on a breakfast radio institution. Yeah, so we did one episode in Sydney. We recorded an episode in Sydney just to kind of do a bit of press over there, you know, get a bit of heat in Sydney.

And we did the Kyle and Jackie O show. Wow. I've heard of it. The most notorious radio show in the country. King Kyle and his gold microphone. Shit. And it was intense. Melbourne's very own.

It was intense. We had very own. It was intense. We had about 10 briefings where people were like, the PR people were like, they're going to talk about sex. And we're like, really? You think so? I can't believe it. Because obviously, yeah, you moved here from New Zealand. So do you have much context for him going into this?

The only context we have is when he does something so terrible that it makes the news. So it's like, that's all I knew Kyle knew kyle sandland the darling of the daily mail what about jackie oh what'd you heard about her nothing you're kidding stop digging you're kidding nothing what almost she jumped out of the car once her husband got shot in the head but apart from that nothing oh sorry wrong one from before from really before yeah yeah yeah actually you know what i i did that's channel watching the zapruda footage i told him to do it differently he's fucked it i i was on that reminds me of my one successful joke on whenever that was fucking eight ten years ago on when mooney had that

show dirty laundry i was on the panel out of my comfort zone they were talking about the death of robin williams who'd killed himself and i'm like i've got nothing to talk about here i don't want to talk about anything here don't talk to me they kept asking me questions i'm like i don't i've got another dog about and then um they somehow they got on to Kyle and Jackie O. And then I said, well, in hindsight, I think they killed the wrong partner of Jackie O. Oh, shit. Very good.

Nice. That was the only thing that saved me. There you go. Well played. How'd you wedge that into the suicide of Robin Williams? That was about five minutes later. They brought it up. It's a long boat.

They brought it up. They brought it up. But you know what? As you're saying that, yeah, it was ten minutes of suicide and then I'm going, they shot the wrong guy in the head joke and it went all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Our times change.

That shows you how much people want to hear about him getting shot in the head like this. Yeah, he's wildly unliked. Different time when you can joke about assassination. You say he's wildly unliked. Different time when you can joke about assassination. You say he's wildly unliked. He's number one in Sydney radios. He is very popular. But I think, yeah, just for a certain group of people.

I think it's just like radio, if you win the tradies, you win. If they're just going to play you while they're just working all day, it's just, I feel like you just kind of win that way. And there's a bit of love to hate him, right? Like surely people are tuning in. People are a huge tuning of the curiosity. He's clearly good at what he does. Oh, yeah.

He makes $10 million a year. They make $10 million a year each. He's entertaining. Yeah. Famously for anyone overseas listening, he has his own gold microphone that he assists on. He's sort of like Howard Stern or whatever. I guess, yeah.

The office is crazy. It is the best view I've seen from anything ever. And it's just, they're like not even facing it. It's crazy. That's just for the reels. Jackie O is basically in her pajamas, curled up on the chair, just going, oh, Kyle. Yeah.

That is the sweetest gig i was like this i can see i can see why you do this it sounds a lot like a certain little podcast or when we might be part of king carl and tommy yeah he kind of is a podcast before podcasting started yes because he's out there just saying literally whatever he wants yeah which is what you can do on this except the difference is he's being paid millions of dollars and he's doing it from the hours of 6 to 9 a.m. while children are in the car. It's so early.

And the first thing he says is like, when I first saw you guys on TV, I thought, who are these cocksuckers? And we're like, okay, okay, great. And then he's like, Tim, do you know how to eat out a woman? We got this out. Producer Lockie, who is a guy who's on Beauty and the Geek, who is clearly just on the spectrum, and that is just the joke that they do. Every time they're like, he doesn't understand social cues,

and we got him to eat out a ham sandwich. And it's like, absolutely. We're sitting there just sort of like, so anyway, it's more sort of like a topical news show. We just sort of like. Kyle Sandlins is asking you at 7.30 in the morning. Yes. If you've ever eaten out someone.

Yeah. And then he's saying someone else doesn't understand social cues. Yeah, that's incredible. He called you a cocksucker. Was he making eye contact when he said it? Poor Lockie. Lockie's like, why are you guys still talking about this? Poor Lockie had nothing to do with any of this.

They don't have the traffic report. They have Kyle reading out the train timetable. And they ask your poor dog all these questions. Is this what happened? I can't remember the names of anyone involved in these stories. So did they say anything about your show? Like, yeah, we liked it? That was the shocking thing

is that he genuinely was like you know what I've seen I've seen the show and we thought that's a lie and then he referenced

something from an episode so and it was kind of like an episode like you know a few weeks before that their producers were like he doesn't often say that

so we were like okay he actually wouldn't have gotten us on if he didn't if he hated the show so that was at least it was something because otherwise we just walk out traumatized just like actually wouldn't have gotten us on if he didn't yeah yeah if he hated the show so that was at least it was something yeah because otherwise we just walk out traumatized just like he's absolutely

i feel like i mean you you'll know more than me but i feel like he's the sort of guy that like everyone goes oh what a cunt and all that stuff but off air he's like like a teddy bear or something yeah he was like i noticed you don't wear makeup for radio interviews i'm sorry i haven't gone for a smoky eye do you know we're on the fucking radio yeah that's why i'm not wearing makeup was he wearing makeup yeah that's what i asked him and he said no, I wouldn't wear that shit. So, you know. I feel like because you hear stuff about that show and in my head you go, what's breakfast? Like he's on, yeah, in the middle of the morning.

It can't be that extreme. But then you hear like an odd example and you just go, fuck, it's so much work. Like I'm not approved, but it's like how is this man getting away with it? How is he on radio at 7.30 a.m. saying, I thought you were a couple of cocksuckers? What? We do this and we think, we say the wrong thing sometimes on this show

and we think, oh, we're going to get in trouble, even though there's no way we can get in trouble. We have no bosses. No one's hearing this by accident. And then they say worse things. Yeah. When I worked in radio, the way complaints worked was an expectation of the show versus what they get.

Right. So if you went on to like classical concert FM and called Barker cocksucker. But like weirdly. Hey, don't offend your dog's favourite composer. There we go. Why am I sure to use that one? You shouldn't. Composing. Suck me off my tongue. There we go, there we go. Why am I sure to use that one? Yeah, you should have. But like Kyle and Jackie O,

because they have worked up such a reputation that now the only complaints that affect their target audience are actually upheld. So if they are actually doing some of their shit. So if you tune in and you get offended, it's your fault because this is what you were walking into. That's basically what the rules are. But then how do you get to that point?

That has to be gradual to get to that point. If he started talking about how the vaccine was good, maybe they'd be combined. Something like that. That's true. People love to hate him. I listened to Mamma Mia. She had him on her podcast, like No Filter.

Mamma Mia did? Yeah. The great podcaster. Mamma Mia. Last name? Mia, correct. Yeah, Mamma Mia. And she had. Yeah. The great podcaster. Mama Mia. Last name, Mia. Correct, yeah. Mama Mia. And she had –

Oh, here we go again. She interviewed him and you could tell she was wanting people to hate him. Like you could tell she was like setting him up to say – but he was actually quite like endearing. I was like, feel the disappointment. And at the end she said to him, she was like, I'm just going to ask you a question because you always date much younger, much slimmer people.

And I was like, what the – Well, it's not much bigger than you. It is. And she said, is intimacy hard? Nice. And I was like, what the action. Because imagine if she asked that to a lady. Mama.

Yeah, mama. Mama. Imagine if mama asked that to a lady. Mother, man. mama. Mama. Imagine if mama asked that to a lady. Mother, man. Because you're just a big fatso, is it hard to root? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's just like, oh, we handle it fine. Right.

It was just like the most awkward thing where she ended up being the villain. Oh, she tried to act mild. That's him getting a piece of his own medicine, but he just does not give a fuck. No, he doesn't care. I root young women. Oh, he does, doesn't he? I mean, but he just does not give a fuck. No, he doesn't care. I root young women. Oh, he does, doesn't he? I mean, and now we know very comfortably.

Yeah. Yeah. I need a pint glass. Well, I just got a text. I was going to say this is the first thing because I thought this would be a great. Anyway, I just got a text from Greg Larson, who I believe is overseas right now. In Edinburgh? He's doing Edinburgh.

He's going soon. Maybe he's still here. I was hoping he was overseas doing this. But this is the text I just got from him. Just as we clicked go. I had a vivid dream that you tried to kill me, Tom Ballard, and some other guy I didn't know by driving us all into the ocean in your car in a murder-suicide situation.

It was very realistic. Would they be the three people you choose? A dream or a premonition? The three people I choose, yes. Greg Larson, Tom Ballard and some other guy I don't know. Greg didn't know. It could be anyone. It could be anyone.

It's not my marry, fuck, kill. It's my kill, kill, kill. That's a beautiful relationship you've got. Yeah. I said, oh, oh wow that's great He said we all escaped but you stayed in the car Classic Chandler I will go down with this ship Dino once said it

Classic everyone else we didn't go back for you No we all escaped but you stayed in the car Then Tom Ballard saved you Oh really After all the mean things you've said about him It's a nice way of like sort, sort of saying, you know, getting into Greg's brain and, you know, letting us know what he thinks of Tom Ballard

and what he thinks of me. What he thinks we're all capable of. I guess he's maybe saying that Tom saved you by the fact that he got out of the car, so then it wasn't way down at the float. That's good. Thank you. I'm going to make a note of this.

You're undeterred. See, look at that. I thought I knew all the Tom Ballard jokes And I'm still learning You can still learn Yeah yeah You can pick up lunch thanks That's me done for the day Alright

Ticket Masala coming your way man I like the way this plays out Is you in a For whatever reason In a murder suicide idea That you've cooked up in your head Where you're like I'm done I'm the way this plays out is you, for whatever reason, in a murder-suicide idea that you've cooked up in your head where you're like, I'm done, I'm done with this world. For whatever reason, these are the three people I want to take out with me. And you're in the position where it's like the perfect scenario for you

because you've got the perfect cover of like you can go, oh, I've organised this gig, fellas. Pays this much. And then just imagining in the week leading up, they're like, so what's the pub again? Just looking for their social media so I can do a post. And you're like, ah, it doesn't matter. It's a secret one.

Very special secret. It's one of those secret gigs where the audience gets emailed half an hour before. Yeah, and it's also perfect because comics are in no way detail oriented. No. I'd be picking them up. They'd be like, la, la, la. And it's a great lineup. Tom'd be picking them up. They'd be like, la, la, la. And it's a great line up.

Tom Ballard's headlining, Greg Larson's emceeing and then support from some guy that none of us know. But we have a feeling that he's slighted Carl in some way in the past. He deserves to go down

with all of us. That's their credit. Tom Ballard, tonightly. Greg Larson, the Comedy Festival Gala. Someone else we don't know. Cut Carl off in traffic.

Tried to film at the basement. Speed in a glass. Mongrel. I love also this text coming through at like two in the afternoon. So like he's,

he's woken up from this this morning and they just spend the entire day going, now, should I tell him this or he's probably been like looking like doing he's you know like sending this around and going here's a description of the guy who nearly died in the car with me in my dream do any of you guys know him before i send

this text on did he have one eyebrow or two i'd hate it if i didn't recognize this comedian that i've been kicking with is he new is this guy new that's so good because i'd imagine there's a lot of people out there that have had a dream that like you've you've murdered them or done something you know incredibly like you know violent or whatever to them yes but then but like your brain also going and then he'd take himself out too that's what i that's what i think that's what i'm really this is two episodes back to back where we've talked about comedians having dreams about me. Last week, Conchita Cristo had sex with me in her dream.

This week, murder-suicide of Greg Larson. So there you go. That's beautiful. But isn't it in the dream you tried to murder them, they got out and you went, well, I guess I'll just kill myself anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gave up. Yeah, that's very me.

I'm too ashamed to resurface and show that I've failed. Well, the captain always goes down with the ship. The captain always goes down the BMW 318i. In Barry's Hole or wherever you go. That would be where you'd do it. The beautiful symbolism of your childhood swimming hole. That's the swimming hole where I grew up. It's called Barry's Hole

oh my god that is gross stay around the edges of Barry's Hole don't go in too deep you'll never come out a lot of times with no irony

just the eight of us are going to go down and jump in Barry's Hole does anyone else want to come where's the gig tonight Barry's Hole

alright I'm in a gig's a gig room for everyone. Yeah. Have you written back? Yeah, I did. I did write back. My message back to him was, he said,

anyway, thought you should know. I said, I'm about to start a podcast, so I definitely appreciate this content. Thank you so much. Maybe he's at the airport about to get on the flight and he's like, if something happens to the flight, I don't want to go down with this knowledge in my head. I've got to get this out there.

He's probably sending dozens of those types of messages today. It's very thoughtful of everyone involved, like thoughtful of Tom Ballard to save me and thoughtful of Greg Larson to give me the content. Yeah, it was very nice. I actually have a car story if you damn well want it. I dropped my kids off at school yesterday. I can't ever go back there, by the way, because I dropped the kids off. The two girls got out and then I had to

reverse and I thought they'd go into the front of the car because that's just the normal way. No, hang on. Is your funny story you killed your... And then I reversed. Have we waited 40 minutes to get a story about Bron killing her kids? I ran over two of my kids and then 15 minutes later

I got a text from Carl saying, can you do the pod tomorrow? Well, I don't have to do school pick-ups, so sure. I ran over two of my kids and then 15 minutes later I got a text from Carl saying, can you do the pod tomorrow? Well, I don't have to do school pick-ups, so sure. I'm sorry that I butted in with my story about Lomas didn't buy lunch. If I had known you killed your kids, I would have given you the floor a lot earlier.

Someone's watching The Office on my binger camera. I can imagine that. No, and I just revert, and then the eight-year-old, I hit her. But just very gently. Gently. Gently.

You know, like when you're reversed so slowly. Like two broken ribs. Like a disaster. Yeah. The ribs you don't use. And she went, Mom, you hit me with the car. And I laughed because you are in control of your kids' emotions. You'll learn this as you become a parent.

If you laugh when they fall down, then the chances of them laughing is far higher. Yeah, they never deal with their actual emotions. That's right. And they bottle everything up. Correct. Well done. Famously never any issues with that kind of stuff.

Turn 25 instead of thinking, Mum hit me with a car, They do stand-up comedy. But they – so she – you hit me with a car and then I laughed and I said, and you're okay, aren't you? And she went, yeah, actually. And then she laughed and then the other girl, which is the other daughter, she laughed too. The other girl.

The other one. And then they both laughed and then they walked away and I was like, phew. But as I turned around and looked, there was a car with another mother and her face was like so shocked she was like oh can we do that and I was like just drive drive drive drive drive drive drive drive drive drive drive drive and so I can never go back so today the school at the front it's just going to be like a demolition I reckon what we've just stumbled across something similar to this is like surely the Kyle Sanderlands origin story you know his mum like hits him with the car and then she I reckon what we've just stumbled across, something similar to this is like, surely the Kyle Sanderlands origin story.

You know, his mum like hits him with the car and then she's just laughing away and then that makes him kind of learn, hey, anything like too much or tragic, it can be funny. Yes. Well, he was homeless for a while. As a kid. As a kid. He was homeless. Like at 16 years old.

Yeah. And you said mean things about him, Mel. How dare you? He is a victim of life and a hero now. Yes, I think she's fine. And then in the afternoon, this is yesterday. Anyway, the kids got home and the middle one said, hey, Mum, remember when you hit me with the car?

And then the older one went, yeah actually hit her mum and then lucas my partner said sorry what and i laughed and i said anyway let's carry on then i looked at the girls i was like just leave it just don't say that again and they were like okay and then that's how I got on with it. Yeah, exactly. You hit my car. You walked into a door. And there was another guy there that you didn't recognise. That you also hit with the car. And Tom Ballard jumped in front of the car and saved your daughter. I think we've discovered you've been talking a lot, Carl, about your daughter being obsessed with the story of you pooing the bed in Thailand.

Yes. This is how you can get that out of her head. Rev up the Bugatti. She's obsessed with me pooing the bed in Thailand. She tells everyone. She won't let go. She's got a new story. I accidentally let slip that I dropped my phone in the toilet,

so now she's telling everyone that. Very funny. Very good. That was my entire sense of humour as a child. Me and my sister's go-to joke is if you didn't hear what someone said, you'd go, you pooed your what? Still good. That's good. Still good. You say it was's go-to joke is if you didn't hear what someone said you'd go you pooed your what still good that's good still good you say it was your go-to i bet you both still give it a very regular back you did a big shit in your what you heard all of these emails but just not that'd be good that's good that's good actually My dog's really been owning me with this stuff lately

I'm going to use that on her from now on Okay, that's a good one That's good Yeah, we made it my dad's ringtone Us saying you poo-jew-op Went off in an art gallery So that was iconic Sick

A rivalry for the ages. Crunchy. So for people who aren't, Crunchy is standing outside of the apartment. On the barbecue. On top of the barbecue. And she's looking. It's a power move. The barbecue is covered, by the way. It's of the barbecue and she's looking... It's a power move. The barbecue is covered,

by the way, it's not on. And she's looking... Glaring. She's looking inside, glaring at the dog inside going, what the fuck?

There goes the neighbourhood. What is going on inside my house? I'm so sorry. We're really... And they're now looking to you to be like, and you're just okay with this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just letting this happen? This is going to be really weird for the next day or two when she can just smell what's going on inside. Honestly, this is the closest she's ever been to a dog before. You're like, Crunchy, I swear I thought it was a person. I thought he was a guy. I thought it was a boyfriend.

I thought his blanket dress up as your favourite animal. Oh, no, that doesn't help either. I genuinely think your cat is bigger than my dog. It truly is. That is a huge cat. And now it's facing away from us like it's trying to moon us. Yeah. Yeah, she's really pissed.

Oh, look at the glare. She's furious. She's already always pissed off and now she's super pissed off. Oh, man. Charles could not give a shit. Look at him. He's like, is that my new best friend? Yeah, yeah.

He's still smacked out, so he's fine. Yeah, good on him. He's like, is that my new best friend? Yeah, he's still smacked out, so he's fine. Good on him. Greg Fleet over there. Fleety's on the smackos over there. Alright, well we better leave it there for another instalment of the little dum-dum club. That's flown.

We've got to separate these animals before a fucking turf war breaks out. And also, me and Bron... We're just for women, actually. I have to go and pick up my kid and Bron has to go and back over her. I do. It's three o'clock. All right, Bron and Melanie, thank you very much for joining us.

Do you have things that you care to plug? Bron, you've got your podcast, Work Hates. Work Hates with Brady Blake. That's been going really well. If you would be, like, he would not surprise you, but he's had a million jobs and he's been fired from most of them. And each episode he reveals a new one. It's been very fun.

Yeah, Work Hates has been great. Lots of friends are showing up. I've been on one of them. Get into it. Mel, you are on heaps of TV shows and such. I'm about to go to Edinburgh. So if anyone that listens is in the UK and wants to come

to my Edinburgh show it's good. Which one are you doing? I'm doing my show. I'm doing Fusey Goes Bananas. Wait. Wait a minute.

What? You pooted what? You pooted what? For your latest one? That's the title. Because I've heard people do just different ones. Oh, yes.

Doing my latest show it's about how I track down the man who stole my earpods. Oh, I love this. Oh, yeah. I saw a preview of this and I loved it. Oh, thanks. Yes. Absolutely go and see this.

You know what? I never saw the end of it. Now I want to go to Edinburgh and find out. I'll send you a cruddy iPhone recording of it. Please. Actually, now I remember I saw the preview and you didn't have the ending. I'm like, fuck, I want to know. I found the ending. Oh, god damn. Okay. And I'm like, fuck, I want to know. I found the ending.

Oh, god damn. Okay. Yeah, well, I recommend go and see Mel. Yeah. Otherwise, you'll be as pissed off as me at the moment without knowing what happens. Did you find out it was a guy who loves the US office? Because maybe it's the same guy who's stealing some of my subscriptions. Might have been the third guy in the car that I killed.

Oh, my God. That's all I killed. Oh, my God. We've had enough. All right. Thanks, everyone, for listening, and we'll see you next time. See you, mates. And they've done it again. Bernie.

Bernadette's kicked a big one. Oh, yes. You like that? Yes. Pod W. Pod W. Yeah. Comedy W. Looking forward to getting home and editing the episode and doing all the back-end stuff where I make the post

and every time we've had Bron on and I start typing out her name, my muscle memory kicks in and I type the word Brown every time I go to type her name. Do you have that at all with her? No. Put her on lineups? No. Just I go B-R-O and then my brain goes, yeah, yeah, I got it from here.

I know what's coming next. Brown Lewis. Really speaks to- Brownlin. It really speaks to how few bronzes I've ever interacted with in my life. Yes. Certainly in a text format before meeting Bron Lewis. Well, I thought this was sort of funny.

We didn't talk about this, but so Bron and I did a thing at Basement Comedy Club where we had postcards, the show come in, and I was going back and forth with the producers and saying, oh, I've got Bron. Bron Lewis. Bron coming in. And then I even sent a picture of her. And then they go, cool, we'll come down and meet him later today. And I'm like, what part of Bron, for starters, means a guy,

but what part of a picture of a woman? Yeah. No, they did a me. They mentally, they saw Brown and they thought you were pitching brownie to them. Right. They were like, oh, great. We love that guy. I would say whatever this means, but the picture I sent them couldn't be more feminine.

Yeah. It couldn't be more. Yeah. Yeah. It couldn't. If you had to try and describe a lady. Yeah. To a Martian.

Yeah. The picture I sent of Ron would have done quite well. You don't see too many men with the haircut that Bron has.ian. Yeah. The picture I sent of Ron would have done quite well. You don't see too many men with the haircut that Bron has. No. Yeah. And, yeah, what she was wearing and everything and makeup and stuff, it's like you'd have to dig pretty hard to sort of go, that's definitely a man.

That's my first instinct. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway. Well, anyway, folks, you might be- Having said that, yeah, if, look, if they'd misread it as Brown, very obviously a man's first name. Yes, exactly. That's where that's come from. Yeah.

Brown. Well, look, some people might be listening to me talk about this and be looking at their podcast app right now that says episode 700 and whatever, Brown Lewis. Like, I may have in the future done it. Fuck. You know what I mean? I may have actually done it in posting this done it fuck you know what i mean i may have actually done it we're in posting this without even realizing at a time of record i would say do it but then i'm like oh this is not going to help any of us yes it's like no no no listen

listen in from like an hour and 15 minutes and we like we talk about it's actually a it's actually a bit from within the show it's deliberate yeah um good stuff uh what else we got um merch yep get onto it hats stubby holders and t-shirts yeah uh from before t-shirts from before hats uh and then our classic new design of chang well look it be... It's similar to something that Chang has once done. It's a really weird coincidence, isn't it? It's... Yeah, it's a reimagining. Yeah. It's a tribute.

Yeah. It's... What else is legally good for us? This is all good for us when we have to do our A State of Marvin Gaye-style defence in court. Dum-Dum's version. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

That's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So get up to that. There's no new ideas. Yeah. Good artists borrow great artists steal really andy warhol of us i reckon actually now that i think of it after we've done everything yep um we will what else uh in terms of a new live show we've got a perth

one coming up maybe we'll talk about that next week yep um but get ready perth for maybe this the the month of november yeah get on to it beautiful november yes it'll be good to get out of um the spring of this warming up spring of melbourne and get into slightly best time of the year in melbourne yeah slightly warmer in perth and guys put in your little calendars august 11th 8 p.m australian eastern standard time my special scam artist going out live. YouTube.com slash Dasolo. Don't sleep on it. You won't be able to watch it for the rest of eternity

if you missed it at first night. No, get on live with me in the comments. You know, yeah, you can watch it whenever. Am I allowed in the comments? I'm trying to work out if there is any kind of way of me banning a certain user I don't know how to do that yet look into it

you've still got time yeah I just go I go quiet in the comments because I'm googling how do you block someone on a live feed I'm sure you can there must be a way yeah there'd have to be a way I'm not the first annoying person in a YouTube chat.

Yeah. Surely there's a way. I saw Tom Ballard when he put his special up and he did the same thing in the comments, commenting away. And, of course, being the style of comedy that he does, very political, you, of course, invite some commenters in who are like oh yeah good one he had this like one guy in particular just really just really viewing tom as like everything that's wrong with the left and just this and that beautiful thing that you see where this guy's piping up every three seconds and then everyone else in the comments starts turning on him just being like mate fuck off we're all just trying to watch the show and engage with Tom. I have had two moments in the last three days where I was going to be a hero

and then turn into a coward, and I don't know which one's better. Okay. In the last three days, I've walked past ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott last night. Okay. And I've walked past his ex-assistant, Peter Credlin. Okay. Who I loathe, both of them. And I went to say, fuckhead or whatever.

Oh, yeah. And then I'm like, but then I'm that guy. Like, that's bad as well, isn't it? I totally, yeah, no, absolutely. Like, we all want to see a guy like that get taken down. But also just the guy that yells in the street yeah it's like that's a bad guy to be yeah it doesn't matter who it is and then because all of a sudden i'm thinking of myself having to back it up if he pulls me up and goes what's all that

about why would you do that to me at 11 o'clock at night i mean like i don't know because you're yeah i don't know because you're fucking it yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't know yeah i mean if you if there was footage of someone just like calling calling Hitler a wanker in the street, would you be looking at that footage now being like, that guy rules? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or would you be like, there's so much more you could have done? Yeah. All that stuff still happened.

Like, what did you do? He went back in time and called baby Hitler a wanker. As he's sliding out. Fuck with. Piss your pants, you fucking nufty. That's me. I wish I could go back in time to last night. That's a good plot.

The guy has the time machine. He can go back to see baby Hitler. Obviously, he doesn't want to kill a baby or even an adult, even knowing what he ends up doing. And so he keeps going back in time and sort of doing the most mild thing that he can do, going back into the future and seeing if it has any effect whatsoever. So someone invents a time machine so they can go back and annoy Hitler.

So he goes back, calls him a wanker, goes, hey, look, butterflies wings, maybe that's enough maybe that just gets in his head and fucks with his self-esteem etc etc goes into present day nothing's changed you know uh everything still happened okay well i'll go back and i'll ratchet it up a little bit i'll call him a cunt you know he's just like every time he goes back he just like and then it gets to the point where he's like none of this has worked i just do have to kill him unfortunately and they find out that back then the point where he's like, none of this has worked. I just do have to kill him. Unfortunately. And they find out that back then, the first time he calls him a wanker, he's like, Hitler's

like voting left. And then he goes, oh, this guy called me a cunt the other day. Who was that guy? Oh, just some guy that like, he said he was a real lefty from far away. It's like, oh, is that what lefties are? Fuck this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's like the second last one is like He really badly like maims him Yeah You know he's like on the edge of death He's like I just don't want to kill another human So he like bashes him to within an inch of his life Comes back to the present day

It all still happens And he's like Alright well he's forced my hand here Literally the only way to stop this Is to have actually killed him Yeah And it's just a man slowly making his peace yeah with the concept of being a murderer yeah um well that might be me that might be me with tony abbott and peter credlin killing an old old man and a dumb

bitch what if you saw on the news today tony abbott being like look i'm uh i'm renouncing all of my previous beliefs and views because I saw this man in the street yesterday and he had this look on his face like he was about to call me a wanker and then he stopped himself. And it just made me realise that people are all inherently good deep down. I could be that guy. He was about to do something bad, which I am doing now,

and then he stopped himself. And it was remarkable. It was a real lesson. And it was really good that he stopped himself because he was about to abuse me and that which I am doing now, and then he stopped himself. And it was remarkable. It was a real lesson. And it was really good that he stopped himself because he was about to abuse me and that could have made me feel bad. Yeah. What if I could do that for the rest of humanity? So from now on, Tony Abbott isn't a shit cunt.

You're welcome, everyone. You know exactly what the turning point was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of not being a shit cunt. Yes. Maybe Tony Abbott's about to subscribe to the Little Dumb Dumb Club on Patreon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of not being a shit cut. Yes. Maybe Tony Abbott's about to subscribe to the Little Dumb Dumb Club on Patreon.

Oh, man. I would love to think that I could think of him as a good bloke if he did that. But even if I had his money, I couldn't, unfortunately. Yeah. I wouldn't think he's a good bloke

just because he, you know, gives us a little bit of money each week. I'd be thankful. Don't get me wrong. But I wouldn't be like, this erases all the rest of it. Yes. Well, it's an old one of people that are that far right. What do they enjoy in comedy, in the world of comedy?

There wouldn't be- Bill Maher. There wouldn't be that much. Like just old stuff. Yeah. Just like really old stuff. Oh, no, you know, stuff that's like not offensive to anyone. Like, you know, Carl Barron and all that sort of stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. Yeah. I mean, look, this is probably an often thought of idea, but it must be so annoying for far right people in the world of entertainment, given that the world of entertainment is so left, every time someone they really like speaks up about anything, they're like, fuck, just shut up.

Yeah. This is so annoying. I like you. Shut up. Well, you know when you get like your artists that have been, let's say, cancelled and then they just keep doing stuff and they often become, you know, you feel like maybe you were like quite left

leaning and you feel betrayed by the left so people just go further and further into that like into that right-wing mindset because they're like well these people just don't care yeah and the other side sort of turned on me i wonder how many people there are that are like right wing just audience members that are like never cared for this guy before but you know what now that he's been wronged by the other side, I'm buying a ticket. Oh, no, totally. Totally. Absolutely.

I mean, look, you'd be, you know, still happy to be making a living, but it must be brutal to, like, look out into the crowd and just be like, God. Yeah. Once upon a time, I would have done everything I could to avoid being in a room with these people. Yeah. And now they're the only thing that's stopping me from being on skid row well man you know a great example is fucking donald trump yeah

yeah he was a democrat yeah and then he found out if he just acted if he just used his true inner fucking yeah numpty yeah dumb cunt yeah it appeals to the other side of the fence yep so he just needed to lean into that and all of a sudden he's the other side of the fence yep so you just need to lean into that and all of a sudden he's the the god of the fucking morons yeah whatever um shout out to anyone that listens to us that in the venn diagram that also thinks that donald trump is good well you know they they do you know they they they do out themselves from time to time yeah people that listen to us that whose opinions and views do not in any way line up with us. Probably the biggest example of that was COVID, where we would talk about what we thought about how people should get vaccinated and let's just get on with our lives.

And then you'd just have these people weigh in on Facebook and be like, how remarkable is this? That this person was just sitting here for years listening to the show and then something like this comes along and he's sitting there listening and he's like, I actually don't agree with these two guys at all. I have nothing in common with them. What's that saying that you call, say, a dormant agent and you activate them? What's that called again? Oh, like a sleeper agent. Sleeper agent.

Yeah, the Manchurian candidate. Yeah, that's what it was. That's what it was. The Manchurian candidate. Yeah, that's what it was. That's what it was. The Manchurian Patreon. Yes. I don't think they were Patreoners, probably. Thanks to everyone who is on Patreon, though. Thank you so much to all the people who have signed up,

especially recently for the Koh Samui Podcast Festival, content of which there is still a little bit more to come. Once our friend Sammy, how do you say in Thai? Pulls his finger out. Whoa. No, there's just a tiny bit left to go. Some live episodes. Amazing that you've not learnt the phrase for that.

Yeah. He's over there. Pull your finger out and bring me my curry. I've learnt put your finger in. Yeah, well, just say it backwards. Right. What if there was a language where the opposite of any phrase is just you say it backwards?

You just stand on your own head and say it again. Say it upside down. Yeah. Thank you to everyone who's done that. Yeah, there's live episodes, live video episodes to come out very soon, so get on to that. Thanks to everyone who signs up up who signs up in the future who's signing up off the back of this patreon read right now what we're about to do

now tommy is that we've i've had we've had quite a few requests for a do-over lately and i went back and went you know what some of those people have been subscribed for fucking years right and so they've had their one ages ago. Maybe they got us on an off week. Maybe they got us right at the start where we weren't doing that much riffing on their name. Sure. And so then they've heard the next seven years of us having all sorts of fun with random people's names.

We just got, thanks, John. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was it. Sure. So let's do quite a few requests. Okay. Let's do, and I've gone back into some of the bigger subscribers over the years. Oh, yeah, okay.

And so the most deserving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm feeling good today. Are you doing good? I feel like we've got a bit of... We've had a bit of laugh already. Yeah, we've got a bit of... There's a bit of energy in the room.

You know what? I'm going to do what I tell my daughter, or I tell Blanket to do when we read a book. Sit up straight. I was leaning back too much there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's too relaxed. You've got to sit up and concentrate. Whenever we read a book and she's lying backwards,

she does a new trick where she tries to, when we're reading a book, she will just try and make every syllable go for as long as she can. So if it's like, I am a cat, it'll be like, I... She's patting. Yeah. And it's like, oh my God. It's not like, we don't have 10 minutes to read a book.

You still have to read all the words. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, I'm sitting up now. I'm not doing anything. All right. Good posture. Yep. I'm being told off.

This is a relatively new couch and I've already put a big lump in it from sitting in the same spot every day. Jesus. I'm in trouble. Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber. First cab off the rank this week from the Hall of Fame. Thank you very much to Fiona Muddit. Muddit.

M-U-D-D-I-T. Muddit. Oh, there's a double D in the middle. Yeah, nice. That's nice. Nice, nice. And then some TTs. See, we're off to the races.

There we go. There we go. I hope we don't rewind and find out I said exactly the same thing as eight years ago. You know why I think I'm feeling fresh today? Because you sleep with something over your eyes, right? You don't have an eye mask, but you've talked about how you black yourself out. your eyes right you don't have an eye mask but you've talked about how you like you black yourself out if someone someone walked in and watched me sleep these days they will think that my wife tried to murder me in my sleep you're at the end of one flew over the cuckoo's nest yes i got the

full pillow over my head yep yep and so there's certain pillows where i like to put over my head because they contour around and then if i go to bed after my wife and she'll just take those pillows and then i've i go back in with the worst fucking pillows of all time. Right. And they're basically trying to like balancing on top of my head, like a huge cushion. Yeah. It's fucking insane. See, I've used the eye mask for a couple of years and I didn't wear it last night because I just couldn't find it.

And I've just woken up feeling so much fresher because I just felt myself kind of like gradually wake up as the room got a bit lighter instead of just this like complete sensory blackout. Alarm goes off. You're like, where the fuck am I? And I was like, yeah, I think that's been – I have been noticing myself like quite a long sort of slow period of like gradually coming to when I get up.

This morning i just flew out of bed i got so much more alert straight away and i was like yeah i had that thing of like you know your eyes kind of open you're like oh it's a little bit light i've probably still got like another hour here so i'm thinking yeah i need to do more research on this but i think i'm gonna i think i'm gonna bin the eye mask for a little bit right you're raw dong in the bed yeah okay yeah yeah i know i know i have to do it it's good for me fuck today i woke up at 7 40 that's like massive for me yeah okay i need that um i think i was using it because i was having trouble like going to sleep but yeah i'm i'm now i'm like i slept fine last night and

yeah if i'm if i'm getting up if i'm getting up and out of bed a little little spring in my step blanket wears the eye mask. Oh, really? Yeah. Damn. I don't know why. I don't know why she's having trouble going to bed. I got talked into getting some earplugs, some of those like proper, not the just like shitty foam ones from the chemist.

Did you ever get the ads for the like the loop earplugs? No. They're like, anyway, they look like kind of AirPod things, but you kind of twist them in and you can like set like how much noise they're going to block out. And I tried sleeping with them the other day and all I could focus on was my heartbeat because you just can't hear anything. So you just feel your heartbeat in your chest. And then my tinnitus.

And I was like, this is worse. This is worse than just hearing cars in the street. I hate this. Just hearing boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then over the top of it. I did the dumbest thing trying to go to sleep last night is I had a bit of writing work to do, and I was like, you know what?

I'll just sit in bed and close my eyes and think of a few jokes as I'm going to sleep. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's insane because A, that means you're then alert and your brain's ticking over trying to think of stuff. And then where am I putting these jokes once I think about them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have a fucking pen and paper in my head.

You get on a run and then you just kind of fall asleep and you wake up and you're like, where's that all gone? Yeah. It is nice though when you've been working on something and you're not even trying to do that. You're like, oh, I'll just go to bed. Or you're like, and then as you're kind of dozing off, you're like thinking about this beard and like all of a sudden your brain's kind of firing away and you're like, and then as you're kind of dozing off, you're like thinking about this beard and like all of a sudden your brain's

kind of firing away and you're like time to get up and get back in the lab. Inspiration has struck. Do you ever have that? You just like lying in bed, kind of thinking about something and you're like, Oh, that's all really good. No,

never. I'm trying to go to fucking sleep. And then, and if I go to fucking get too annoyed and too crazy, then I'll hop up. But yeah, fuck. But anyway, great redo for Fiona M I'll hop up. Right. Yeah, fuck. But anyway, great redo for Fiona Muddit so far.

Yeah, maybe she had all this back in the... Maybe this is what she wanted because often what these are is just stream of consciousness spiral into something else. Yes. Maybe she is from an era where we went, ha-ha, mud. Yeah. Ha-ha. That's pretty good.

That's pretty good. Muddit. Muddit. Mud it. Yeah. I mean. When was the last time you saw a big old patch of mud? This morning. Really?

Over the road. Really? The place. I run around the oval over the road. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's been, you know, they play footy on it. And now it's like. Slopping around.

Yeah. Yeah. And so I was. Is that what gave you the inspiration to read out this person in particular? No. That reminds me. Yeah. Yeah. That's I was... Is that what gave you the inspiration to read out this person in particular? No. That reminds me. Yeah, that's... That beautiful young woman called Fiona.

Yeah, yeah. I've gone, you know what? I'll go back in the archives. I need a reason to talk about this fabulous mud I saw this morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is the only way I can type back. Yeah. And use it as an excuse to create content about it.

No, but mud it i mean as a phrase as a as a verb to mud something mud something yeah is that is that me is that me in lockdown eating bread and then just coming home and my wife seeing my underwear and saying what what did you do there and i said i'm me saying i'm so sorry, but I mudded it. No, you'd be like, I Fiona'd it. It's like British rhyming slang. Fiona mud it. Oh, okay, right.

Right. I did a big Fiona, I mud it. Yep. Is that, I mean, that's the closest I can think of of where that surname could come from. Mud it. Mud it. Hmm.

Yeah. You mean like olden days yeah some like some relatives that worked in a you know worked in a field yeah yeah yeah that's right when there was only about five things in the world yeah mud grass trees yep the sky yep water yep there you go yep yeah that's it was a much more popular name back there back in the good old days where people wasn't there anyone called water as a surname that would have been a good one but it must be back when there was people like you know scrambling for names like you know it's a, but these days everyone's called, like, their first name's fucking, there's a million of them, there's so many different first names and they're all weird and whatever.

But then you go back, like, Brown's a classic surname. Yeah. We get it because there was lots of Brown stuff back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Smith. Yeah, we get it because there's, like, you know, Smith was, like, a job. But, like, yeah, mud.

That's one of the few things it was back then. Did I talk about this yet? That I was watching, or Lauren was watching City of Angels the other week, the Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan romance film where Nicolas Cage is an angel and he's walking around on earth and his name's Seth and he's pretending he falls in love with Meg Ryan. She thinks he's a human and there's this bit where there's like all this stuff's not adding up and she's like,

I don't think this guy's who he says he is. And she's like, what's your full name? And they're in a kitchen and he looks around and he goes, Seth Plate. Yeah, great. Great fake name, Seth Plate. Again, one of those things that I see in a movie where I just think, I just hear that name and I just imagine us sitting here looking at the name Seth Plate

and just having to riff on that for 20 minutes and what a fun time we would have. You know what? I used to love a movie and I would like to watch it again. I would like to see if I still enjoy it. But this is a massive spoiler alert for it. So I'll say the name of it. You can tune out if you don't want to hear the spoiler alert. But the movie is the late 80s.

It's called Angel Heart and it has Rob De Niro in it. It has Mickey Rourke as the star. It has Lisa Bonet from the Cosby show in it. Now, I thought it was – Cam's sister? Yes. Cam's French sister. I loved it at the time.

I'd love to think it holds up, but it probably doesn't. But the one thing that I hate about it that makes me think, fuck, why did I ever like it, is spoilers, right? So, Mickey Rourke plays a guy called Harry Angel and he's hired as an investigator to track down someone. Yep. And he's hired by this guy who's Robert De Niro. Yep.

Right. And so, at the end of the movie... Spoilers! Guys, tune out. Don't get mad at us. Change the channel. Yep. It turns out that Robert De Niro is the devil.

Oh, we talked about this recently. Did we? Yeah. And what's his name? Yeah. Have we talked about this on the show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. His name is Louis Cipher.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. Louis. First name Louis. Last name Cipher. Yep. And it's so bad. Yep.

Like, if I had half a brain back then i would have hated the movie five minutes in when he introduces himself but for some reason i didn't get it and so i really enjoyed the rest of the film yeah so that's part of the reveal at the end oh well of course my name is yeah yeah we talked about this recently because then i was saying that in my special, Scam Artist, August 11, Kyle Kinane is in it playing a podcaster called Patrick Oddcast. Oh, really? Which I just put in there as like, that's just a dumb thing, whatever. And then since we talked about it, I kind of like rewrote some of the bits anyway. And so now I've got this thing where he really points it out.

And he's like, my name's Patrick Oddcast. Get it? Patrick, like after we had that conversation, I was like, you know what? This is so dumb. I'm just going to lean right the fuck into this and really make a big deal about how lazy this writing is. Well, let's – yeah, on August 11, wherever it is, watch Angel Heart and then Tommy Show. Oh, the big double. Yeah.

Yeah, the lead in. Yeah. Just to get yourself in the mood yeah F Muddered well thanks Fiona thanks Fiona

I hope you enjoyed I hope which one was better the first time or this time oh great great question yeah thank you very much

to Patreon subscriber Damien Perkins mmm mmm yep Anthony's son from Psycho Anthony Perkins, the actor

Who had AIDS, died of AIDS So Damien Perkins isn't AIDS baby Is what I'm trying to say I know Damien, he came to the I think only the first Koh Samui podcast festival. Oh, yeah? He lives down in Hobart. Oh.

Yeah. Yeah. A few people requesting lately we go down there for a live show, but it's all a bit fucking hard, I would have thought. Yes. Given that, what are we going to do? Come down there and use the dildos on the wall of Mona as guests? That's actually not bad.

I think that David Walsh guy, if we pitched to him, two fellas doing a podcast in front of the wall of pussies, I think he'd be into it. Yeah. Can we put eyes on them? Pretend they're guests of ours? That would actually be pretty funny. No, we have someone on the other side of the wall

working them like a little puppet. So they're talking to us. So we're still going to fly guests down anyway. No, we have someone on the other side of the wall working them like a little puppet. Right. So they're talking to us. So we're still going to fly a guest down anyway. No, we don't need a guest. We just need someone. We just need a- Oh, we do the voices.

No, we just need a decent puppeteer who's, you know, but- But they've still got to be funny because they're still talking to us. We just find someone who's doing like a local Punch and Judy show and we just get them. All right. So it doesn't really matter that they're not that good, but we's we do have talking duty that's good uh damien's got to be pretty wrapped with this this is off to a fucking flyer i mean first of all he's an aids baby and then we've we've basically locked in a new hobart show yep yep just for him um yeah that'll be great well um anthony perkins contracted the AIDS virus around the time of psycho 3 and kept the illness secret for six years until his death

so he could keep working and not worry his friends and his two sons well it's good as long as he wasn't um it's nice that he didn't want to worry damien and his brother. Yeah. The only person who knew he was sick was his wife, Barry. That was very good. Yeah. Yeah. Barry Perkins. Yeah. Interesting.

Barry. Yeah. Well, good. Very nice of Anthony to let his wife know he had AIDS. Yeah, yeah. It's very big. Very big of him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Men famously bad communicators, but not in this case. Honey, honey, I've got AIDS. Just before we roar, dog, I'll let you in on a little secret. Now, look. And then Barry says, I think I'm aware I'm the one who gave it to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, just to let you know uh i have aids um i am wearing a condom so it shouldn't be an issue but i will tell you i'm a massive stealther so

once i get in there i can't tell you what may or may not happen yeah and i mean you did sort of ask this by marrying a man who famously is the face of killing women in the shower yes so if the worst thing out of it is that, you know, you get AIDS, you've got off pretty lightly here, I think. Yeah. I could stab you in the shower. That's the most, like, fucking bent lawyer of all time. Like, mounting that as a defence.

Fuck. Oh, okay. Look, this is interesting. Perkins died at 60. We're still just looking up this guy, this random guy. Yes. He's not random. He's Anthony Perkins, the main star of Alfred Hitchcock's most famous ever movie.

Psycho 3? Psycho 1. Oh. That's his most famous movie. The sequels were not directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Oh, this is interesting. Here we go. Perkins, 60, died peacefully in his Hollywood home in the company of his wife,

Barry Perkins, and two sons, Osgood and Elvis. Wow. So it's Elvis, not Damien Perkins. He's changed his name. Yeah, and of course, why wouldn't you with the name Elvis? Elvis Perkins. You're just attracting too much. Exactly. You know, you move to Hobart, you're off the grid.

You move to Tasmania to have a more simple life. And then people are just constant. Every time you go for a coffee, they're like, name for the order, and you're like Elvis. And they're like, Elvis Perkins, the famous AIDS baby. You're like, everyone's blowing up my spot. I just want to live a bit anonymously down here. I just, everyone's blowing up my spot.

I just want to live a bit anonymously down here. It's like I can't get rid of the AIDS, but at least I can get rid of the Elvis. Yeah, exactly. Yep. Yep. Now. You know what I saw the other day that, again,

made me think of this segment? It was like a video graph that was kind of charting over time instances of this. It was like instances of people in the United States with the name Gay. Right. And it's like going back fucking however long, like centuries. Yep. And it's like, you know, how many people in a year born with that name? And it's like going back fucking, you know, however long, like centuries. Yep. And it's like, you know, how many people in a year born with that name? And it's like hundreds.

Yep. And then it's like. Before they invented homosexuality. Yeah, this term being popularized as this. And then it's like, it just fucking plummets. And then since then, zero. Yeah. My mom has a, yeah, one of my mum's really good friends is named Gay. It's good shit.

Yeah. It's good shit. And the amount of people called straight has just quadrupled. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really popular. Yeah. We'll know we've achieved equality when it's the same number of people being named both of those words. Yes.

Then we'll know we've done it. Here's my son. Straight also. Fuck. That's the most just fucked up, like repressed, like blokey man. I'm calling my son straight. I don't want to leave anything to chance.

Anthony Perkins, elaborating on his experience with AIDS, he said, there are many who believe that this disease is God's vengeance, but I believe it was sent to teach people how to love and understand and have compassion for each other. Wow. That's why it was sent to you, Anthony? Yeah.

Or was it because you didn't wear a fucking rubber? You know what I think is really God's vengeance? Living in Tasmania. Vengeance, living in Tasmania. Anthony. I want to know how he got AIDS. Is that wrong? I want to know how he actually got it.

Yeah, I don't know if that's going to be on the Wikipedia. Yeah. Personal life. That's like, you know, you see those memes Every now and then Of like Here's the most brutal Wikipedia page And it'll be some like Incredibly specific heading

That the person has On their page That'll be one of them In bold How they got AIDS Yes Privately Perkins emotional troubles

Continue to plague him In a later interview He described how fame Brought him the attentions Of numerous leading women Whose advances Left him shook up And scared Once in Paris for example Brigitte Bardot Okay Invited him to her penthouse where he described how fame brought him the attentions of numerous leading women whose advances left him shook up and scared.

Once in Paris, for example, Bridgette Bardot invited him to her penthouse, making clear her intentions, Perkins said. Sooner than get close to her, he said, I would have crashed through the window and fallen to the pavement ten stories below. He would rather kill himself than get close to the hottest woman in the world at that time. Yeah, right. Okay, well. Look, I want to know how he ends up with a wife after this, to be completely honest.

Is that because he was living with AIDS and he didn't want to have to disclose that? No, no, no. I don't think he'd had sex at all at this point. Yeah, right. He couldn't possibly have. He said he had a homosexual encounter but described that kind of sex as unsatisfying. He went through intense psychotherapy and at age 39 had his first

close relationship with a woman. He could have lost his virginity to Bridget Bardot. Fucking hell. People in this era really used to just talk about everything, didn't they? Like this being out there is crazy. Two years later at 41, Perkins married his wife, Barry, then 25, and then settled down.

Though friends predicted the 1973 marriage would not last long, it became the primary steadying influence on him. His precise and intense Barry once said, I'm much calmer. Things don't bother me. There's a balance that keeps us together. I think the balance is you both like men, I think, maybe? Yeah. I think that's what's happening here.

This is real. You know how like there's been a couple of – there was like a little period there maybe a couple of years ago, maybe a bit longer now, where Quincy Jones kept giving these interviews where he was just really just going for it, just like spilling all this like shit that he'd done over the years. And like think about someone like Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.

They're very like closed off. They don't really give interviews. They don't talk about their like Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. They're very closed off. They don't really give interviews. They don't talk about their private lives or whatever. It's fascinating to think that maybe they get to an age where they're just like, now's the time. Just like 75, it's time to just fucking let it rip and start just giving wild interviews to GQ where I'm just going down and dirty on all the crazy all the like crazy sex

I've had with models on yachts now Cora is going to give me the answer I think who did Anthony Perkins get HIV from and how come his wife didn't get it um by the way just to be clear this is something these do over reads this is something that you just decided to do. So Damien Perkins specifically did not request this. Well, that's the other thing I didn't bring up, Tommy. These people did request exactly what we've said today. Is this true? Yeah. Okay, they've all specifically requested a do-over.

No, they've specifically requested not only the do-over, but these subjects within. Also, all the other people requested that we talk about Anthony Perkins. So even Fiona Mudd was like, can you please find an excuse we talk about anthony pert so even fiona muddett was like can you please find an excuse to talk about anthony perkins yes yes yeah that's right uh yes i'll give you one more anthony perkins fact and then we've got to move on okay all right i love this i love core is it coreora? However you pronounce it. Where they just put these fucking weird questions in and then just everyone just has at it. Yep.

Lois has replied, he probably didn't know. Back in that day, most men had several encounters with men they didn't know, just like today. What a great sentence. Everything was undercover. As far as his wife goes, they might have stopped having sex after they had two kids back to back. They were his beards. According to his wife, she loved him always and was there holding his hand at the end.

Wow. Well, there we go. That's beautiful stuff. Well, thanks, Damien. Well, yeah, Damien, if you know who your dad got it from, let us know. Yeah. We'd love to know just to make sure we don't have sex sex unprotected sex with that person that's cool great thanks thanks thanks demo thanks Elvis thanks Elvis thank you very much to patron subscriber Daniel

skirka skirka sk you are ka hmm interesting hmm speaking of Quora and people contributing answers to things just the sound of someone going I've got nothing for Skirka yeah often I think of something off the back of what

we've just been talking about in a previous read and it's gone too long yep I think I'll just carry this over okay do you ever have this and you're sending me up

the wall at the moment is trying to like work out how to do something in a program that I'm using and thinking like, oh, just Google this. You know, I just want to know how to like add this clip to this or whatever. And it is almost impossible now to find that information out without looking at a 25-minute YouTube video. Do you ever have that? It's like here's eight videos about it. It's like I don't want to watch a YouTube video. Do you ever have that? It's like, here's eight videos about it. It's like, I don't want to watch a fucking video.

Just give me in text the steps to how to do it. I don't want to have to scrub through and listen to some cunt. It's so much quicker to just go, oh, it's in this menu. Great. It's driving me up the wall. Yeah, I'm not into it. I'm in the era of when they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It's like, no, I don't want to fucking learn anything.

Yeah. Someone do it in front of me and I can learn it that way. Yeah. But I don't want to read anything. Yeah. I don't want to learn anything like I'm in school. Yeah. That's the old days.

Just show me right in front of me and I will just puppet master, put my hands on your hands as you're doing them and learn it by muscle memory. See, I've done a couple of things recently where I've watched like a long YouTube tutorial about how to use a piece of software and it'll give you like a dummy project and you're doing it like step by step with the tutorial and that's very satisfying to come out of that and be like,

cool, now I can use this program that I couldn't use before but then that's like I've dedicated a big chunk of time to sitting and watching the video. I'm happy to do that. That's a fun way to learn. But then when I'm just trying to get like one little extra piece, it's like, no, I've done my time. I've done my time watching a person use the program.

I just want this in text. I just want this in an easy, helpful little text document that just shows me the menu to go into. A couple of screenshots of what I might see on the screen. That's always helpful. Yeah. What about we learn how to riff off the surname Skirker? That one would – I mean, that would need a video.

I don't think you could convey that in just text. That's like a 40 minute. Yeah. All right. I've just Googled Skirka. I can't, there's nothing,

there's nothing with Skirka very much. I'm just going to have to dip into the group, right? Go looking for him. Find this guy. Yep.

Here we go. Got a little profile of him with a, with a, with a Christmas present on his head, wearing as a hat. So that's why he's into our show, because he's got a crazy sense of humour. Look at that, Tommy. Oh, my God. Yep.

Got a Christmas present on his head, wearing it as a hat. When did he make that as a profile pic? November 5, 2018. Okay, that's all right. Fucking hell. Getting in early. Yeah. Ah, fucking hell.

The Daniel Skirker Christmas profile pictures, they start earlier every year. It's only the 5th of November, for God's sakes. Yeah, yeah. And I've just looked up his dad, and his dad also was gay and had AIDS. That's weird. Huh. That's a coincidence with the last Patreon subscriber. Yeah.

Yeah. Don't you think? How did you find that out about Mr. Skirker? What film was he in? Who's saying that? The Birds. He's in The Birds. Who did he play in The Birds?

Bird number two. Bird number two? Yeah. Damn. That's pretty good. Oh, I love in the birds? Bird number two. Bird number two? Yeah. Damn. That's pretty good. Oh, I love this. Okay, here we go. Here we go.

Here's something I've got for you. Okay. Fantasy abandoned. Back to real world. No need for flight of fancy anymore. Reality has delivered.

Yeah. This is on Daniel's Facebook page. Yep. August is on Daniel's Facebook page. Yep. August 2, 2019. Mm-hmm. Hi, Fiona.

If you are in any way copying backlash from the latest Little Dumb Dumb Club episode, I am sorry. It was fucking hilarious, and the relationship you and the boys have is brilliant. When you are all together, it produces some of your best work. it when you are all together it produces some of your best work please never have please never feel the need to apologize for honesty and being genuinely funny if you have seen some of the shows that have been green lit lately i think not being on television is a god's sin next thing you know funny fellas will be on primetime tv right that's to fiona o'loughlin that's when you started reading that out i truly thought that that was a um communication between him and fiona muddett in regards to her last in regards to her

last patreon read and then when it was like the dynamic you have with the boys i was like wait we talked to we had this woman on the show how do i not remember this yeah the dynamic that's a hell of a name the dynamic your your name has with the boys the name's always talking back yeah calling us naughty little chaps yeah now now what i just read to you yeah she yeah he's he's put that that's the message to fiona yep in no way has that gone to fiona he's just put that on his own Facebook page. Great. Just absolute boomer style. Yep. Not tagged her into it. Yep.

This isn't in a group. This is just on his. Christmas present on his head. He's crushing his brain. So you look at everything else he's got in his profiles, like plenty of likes. Yep.

He's got 204 friends. Yep. He's put that message out that's just gone into fucking space, into the ether. Yeah, real like letter to a nephew asking about their trip to Europe. Just posted as a status. Absolutely not one single like on the thing.

Oh, no. Well, you've got the power right now to remedy that. Fuck, you're dead right. Get in there and smash that like button. You're dead right. Five years on. You're dead right. We are almost at the five-year anniversary of that post.

Yep. Wow. I'm liking... Oh, a comment as well. I'm commenting. He's gone double hands on the keyboard, folks. Yep. Thanks.

Microphone perched on the chest. Actually, you know what? I'm going to do even better. What? I'm going to say... Share it on your page. No. I've written in, thanks, Daniel, and it's automatically corrected it to Daniel Walker. Yep. And I haven't uncorrected page. No. I've written in, thanks, Daniel,

and it's automatically corrected it to Daniel Walker. Yep. And I haven't uncorrected that. Great. So I'm just hitting return. There we go. So there we go. There's that message.

Two men just working to the best of their abilities. I'm thanking Daniel Walker. Thanks, Daniel Walker. So now she's going to get notified. Danielle's sitting out there just minding her own business. Tuesday morning, probably getting some emails done, a little notification. Carl Chandler has tagged her in a post.

Oh, well, this can only be bad. That's my impression of Danielle Skirker. He's put that there five years ago, thinking for some reason that fiona's gonna see it despite the fact he hasn't tagged her into it or anything like that hasn't tagged her put it on his own page at some point must have realized that never deleted it no that's the best bit yeah hasn't gone oh god this is embarrassing yep i've and then i've said thanks danielle walker and now i'm liking my own post as well. Fuck it. Let's do it. Now, can I just quickly say what I've just realised may have happened here.

So you found this guy from – you went into the Millionaires Group. Yes. And you searched the name. Yes. I think when you then go on a person's page from looking at the Millionaires Group – No, no, no, no, Tommy, please. You've just gone – A little bit of respect.

You've gone to the profile? I've gone to the profile. It's not posts in the group. No, no, no. But then when you click on their profile from in the group, the activity that it shows you on there is just what they've done in the group. I'm aware. Yeah.

Then you get a chance to view their profile. So you've gone full page. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Great. Well, unless for some reason in our group, he's also updated his cover photo with his wife and his baby and his dog and put that in our group as well.

Yeah, but that's the weird thing about that function is that you can see all that stuff, but then it just like... But then also, if he had posted that in the group, that's brutal that it's got no likes whatsoever. Exactly. This makes way more sense. He's putting it out there to his 204 friends and everyone's like, who the fuck is he talking to?

No likes. There's just people ringing his wife and saying, has your husband, has he lost his mind? Has he gone a bit Anthony Perkins? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's going on here? Oh, well, thanks, Skirker. Yeah, thanks, Skirker. And thanks, Danielle Walker.

Yeah. Thanks for the, and yeah, on behalf of Fiona O'Loughlin, thanks for the kind words. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And five years later, Funny Fellas is still not on primetime tv so that's a bit of a shame yeah um thank you very much to patron subscriber daniel beaumont beaumont yeah okay and i'm pretty sure what the original riff must have been yeah yeah yeah the idea that this person would have been unhappy with what we did back in the day is absurd.

Yes. And, of course, that riff was? Daniel, same name as Daniel Skirker. Yes, yeah. That huge Fiona O'Loughlin fan. Obviously. No, that's not true. I would have thought the original riff was

finally we found him. One of the missing Beaumont children. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The famous Beaumont children who went missing in Adelaide just like a lot of people

buying tickets to shows over there. You know, from before. From before, yeah. Maybe This is one of them maybe maybe that's hiding in plain sight yeah yeah they've just popped up and um been gone all that time because they've been gone all that time they had an inheritance that they hadn't been touching because they've just been missing in the ether, not spending any money.

They had all this money, so they've decided to jump on Patreon. I was writing a couple of episodes of a show with a friend a long time ago, this idea that we had, and it was about a share house and one of the episodes was going to be that these characters would be able to hear some sounds from inside the wall and they'd get in this crawl space and they'd find the beaumont children and harold holt right both living inside the wall of this house great uh the beaumont children for people that don't know uh it happened in on beach near Adelaide, and, man, how the fuck did it happen?

Three, three children just completely disappeared. Despite new research, neither children nor their suspected companion were located. Oh, because they saw children in the company of a tall man with fairish to light brown hair and a thin face with a suntan complexion and medium build, ages mid-30s. I don't know why I'm giving the full description here, just in case anyone's seen anyone lately. Just someone now just being like, let's put him back on the milk carton.

You never know. Yeah. Well, you know, they could be reasonable age. Fuck, that would be a fucking fair bunker. Yeah. If they've hidden in there. By the way, that's reminded me. Maybe they put those three kids in an Adelaide Fringe show

and just no one's come to any of the shows over the years. Yeah, they're an improv troupe. Yeah. While we were in Sydney, I went on the podcast Community Notice Board, which is a show where they talk about the guests like town or suburb that you grew up in and they like they do a bit of research and they find like i don't know funny stories from where you grew up and uh so i gave them my suburb and i was like good luck finding anything interesting about malvin in mel. And so we're in there just talking about, you know, whatever.

And then one of the things they brought up was, now on the sort of edge of that suburb, it's more like East Malvern, but the Harold Holt Pool. And I'm like, oh, God. Great. Don't make me talk about this publicly. No. Don't make me do my gear on a podcast. The case received worldwide attention and is credited with causing a change in Australian

lifestyles since parents began to believe that their children could no longer be presumed to be safe when unsupervised in public. Oh, interesting. There you go. So those three little kids would just walk along the beach with fucking mum and dad were like. Oh, interesting. There you go. So those three kids were just, three little kids would just walk along the beach with fucking mum and dad were like, yeah, you'll be all right.

Yep. And this changed everything. Wow. This started the nanny state. Yes, yeah. It's a hop, skip and a jump from the Beaumont children to the vaccine, isn't it? Yeah.

Oh, no. Fuck, man, how old were they? Fucking hell. They called the bus by themselves and went to the vaccine, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, no. Fuck. Man, how old were they? Fucking hell. They caught the bus by themselves and went to the beach. Jesus Christ. That's crazy. Oh, my God.

They were nine, seven, and four. Get on the bus, a four-year-old. Yeah. Fuck. That's awesome. That's insane. insane that really rules what a fucking era jesus christ there's you know what when i first started walking um blanket to school like the first week of school earlier this year i it was driving me fucking nuts because as we were walking you walk in a certain time and you start to see you know you go to the school gates and you recognize parents and kids and whatever but when we were crossing the road to walk up there

it was freaking me out there was a girl walking her daughter that girl walking her sister to school every day oh yeah now the sister was very clearly in the same grade as blanket prep tiny little girl yeah yeah yeah smaller than the blanket yep but i reckon the sister walking to school was either grade one or grade two wow so i was like oh don't worry i'll take it from here i mean that's old school and like that beaumont children thing it's like yeah no wonder like previous generations like back that far no wonder they just churned out the fucking kids because there was like no responsibility to parenting whatsoever yeah you just fucking have them and then they're just like on the bus at age four like the disruption to your life as a

parent is so minimal if you're just happy for them to be walking to school at two years old well yeah you better have eight of them because if you sent three of them to the beach, they're not coming back. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. Well, I mean, well, one of them came back and that's Daniel. Yeah. So, um. And thank God. Yeah. Well, I think we'd be a little lighter in the wallet without Daniel chipping in. He, I hope you're not too sunburnt. Been at the beach for the last 50 years or so. Oh, you think that's what happened? They just couldn't find their way back? Yeah.

They just got trapped there. Yeah. The buses stopped running, so they had no way of getting back. Yeah, that's right. They didn't have any money. They lost their purse in the beach, couldn't get the bus back, and just hung out. We're homeless beach people.

Do you think that there was any acknowledgement from the parents of like, oh, well, you let your four-year-old get the bus, something like this is bound to happen. That's our mistake. No, Tommy. We shouldn't have done that. No, Tommy, the last 50 years has been, well, fuck them. If they can't catch the bus by themselves.

Or whether it's just a bit of like, well, it's crazy the kind of stuff that happens out there, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it was going to happen sometime. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's, man. Yeah. Okay. Bit grim. Yep. But good to know that one of them was back.

Oh, in- Hey, tragedy plus time. We're proving that. Yes. In 1966, a Dutch psychic was brought to Australia to assist with the search. I love this kind of stuff. Get that fucking octopus that picked the World Cup results onto it. Yeah.

Where are they? Yeah. And you just put a bunch of soccer balls in there. There's the name of every major city on the planet, and the octopus just goes towards one of them and they're like, right, the kids are in Buenos Aires. To the airport. Unsurprisingly, Gerard Croisset's efforts proved unsuccessful with his story changing

day to day and offering no clues. He identified a spot at a warehouse near the children's home in which he believed the bodies had been buried inside the remains of an old brick kiln the property owners who were reluctant to excavate based only on a psychic's claim soon bowed to public pressure after publicly helped raise forty thousand dollars to have the building demolished no remains, nor any evidence tied to any members of the Beaumont family were found. Fucking hell. So they excavated this whole house and found no evidence of them at all. But because this Dutch psychic went to the press and said, this is where I think they

are, then the public raised $40,000 to have it knocked down. Fantastic. And then nothing was there. Starting a little Kickstarter to have it knocked down. Fantastic. And then nothing was there. Starting a little kickstart. Just get this house demolished. I love this. I love this because you go, right, this happened in 1966. You know back when everyone was fucked in the head?

Yeah. Didn't have any brains? Yep. So that happened. Boom. There's no – oh, yeah, sorry. I forgot. It's 1966.

We're fucking idiots. Yep. In 1996, the building identified was undergoing partial demolition, and the owners allowed a full search of the site again. Nice. So this is just going to happen like every 30 years. Yeah, yeah. It's just 30 years later, they went, oh, yeah, fuck, where's another look? Yep.

Once again, no trace was found of the children. Well, where'd you? Two years' time. Oh! Time for another look. Let's book, once again, no trace was found of the children. Two years time. Oh! Time for another look. Let's book a live show. Let's book that. Let's flag it now.

Yeah. Let's get in and earmark the venue. Yep. Great. Let's, I wonder if Gerard is still alive. Let's have a look. No, he's not. Well, thanks, Daniel.

Thanks, Daniel. And on behalf of Tommy, on behalf of the Little Dumb Dumb Club, welcome back. Yeah. You were missed. Yep. And it's lucky we found you inside that kiln after all. Yep. All right.

Yep, yep. So thank you very much to Patreon subscriber. Let's see if I can pronounce this properly. Mr Comedy. Right. Yeah. What do you think we would have said about this when we read it out? This isn't ringing a bell, honestly.

I know. I'm searching back to see if this has been read out before. This could be a glitch. Let's do a search. Yep. No results. Okay. No results.

One slip through the net. This is actually a first time. Oh, right. Okay. Well, that's good. At least we're doing one that's fresh. Fresh, that we've got first go at. Yep.

That's it. Yeah. Well, I'm not sure. That's the like anti-trans version of that. I just really want to make sure that this is like properly, you know, watermarked. Is this one of Elon Musk's children? Mm-hmm. Mr. Comedy Musk?

Is that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's all, he's got all like crazy first names for these kids and stuff. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that does. Yeah, he should do that. Yeah. But, I mean, I'm not sure.

They didn't send in his birth certificate. I'm not sure if Mr. is the actual Christian name of this person. Yeah. Or whether. We'll check the group. That is actually like sort of the, you know, when someone's a man. Yeah. They will have that as a precursor.
