I'm probably going to bring the home improvement board game. Please come down and celebrate with us.
We'd love to see all the friends of the show there.
tinyurl.com slash dumdumbbirthday for tickets,
or you can find the link through our Facebook and Twitter.
We can't wait.
It's only a few days off now, and it's going to be awesome.
So hopefully we'll see you there.
See you, mates.
Hey, mates.
Welcome once again into the little dum-dum club for another week.
Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Dasolo and sitting next to me, the other half of the show, Carl Chandler.
G'day, dickhead. The beard's made a comeback, which I'm a fan of.
It's back.
I've been on holidays.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm away, so I'm allowed to do whatever I want with my face.
And that's a lot of growth.
You grow pretty fast, pretty thick and fast.
It's pretty lustrous, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's like, what, like 10 days?
No, I think there was a little bit before.
I had a bit of a head start.
A bit of stubble.
You cheated.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like when people get angry, because, you know, with Movember is on at the moment,
and there's some people that think you're meant to start clean
and then grow the moustache
from there
and some people
just have a beard
and they just trim it down
to a moustache
and people get really
It is in the rules
of Movember
you have to be clean shaven
on November 1st
You know
there's also rules
of a certain podcast
as well
where you
Yeah where you've got
to be interesting
at the start
where you speak
when you're fucking
spoken to
but anyway
let's get rid of
that one as well Jesus Christ I don't even know what to do from here But yeah I know what you mean when you're fucking spoken to. But anyway, let's get rid of that one as well.
Jesus Christ, I don't even know what to do from here.
But yeah, I know what you mean.
You're supposed to have the mo and nothing else.
And they're like, no, you can't have sideburns.
You can't have a bit.
It's like, I think you're overlooking the main point of this,
which is to raise money for cancer or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's weird when people impose so many rules on something
that is just being a fucking idiot like really
just like not the raising money for charity yeah you're not a fucking idiot if you raise money for
charity i'm not saying you're not i don't want the keyboard warriors to spike up again hey i'll just
tell you this quickly this is something that was brought to my attention recently that i think
you'll be interested in a friend of mine was telling me that um a pat like i was talking to
someone and they said we were talking about mc, of course. Right. And she said, have you heard of this secret menu that some McDonald's do?
They got one as well.
Which apparently, if you go, if you get there at the perfect time, right in between breakfast
ending and the main menu beginning.
What, 10.29 and a half?
Yeah, if you get there right on the, right in the middle.
Is it like the harry
potter station like yeah 10 10 31 and 10 seconds they will do you they'll do you like a frankenstein
mix where like if you want you can get your quarter pounder in a muffin or like you can
crop you can apparent and not all of them do it but apparently there's some that do and it's like
this unspoken thing that you can go in there
and you can create your own kind of hybrids.
You can, like, stick a hash brown in a Coke or something.
It's awesome.
Sure, yeah.
You can just do that anyway.
But, yeah.
But I want to know.
Like, I want people to – I've got to find –
I want to find out where these Maccas are.
So if you're in a different part of the country from Melbourne,
we can cover that by ourselves.
Maybe we can be the face because I'm sure,
I've been putting in these proposals to McDonald's lately.
I'm sure they'll be coming back to us pretty soon
because it's been a few weeks now.
The law of averages demands that they must be getting back to us.
So you think that we can get a plum gig as the face
of the secret menu of McDonald's?
Yeah.
Meaning that it's a campaign that never goes out,
which is kind of perfect for McDonald's. So that this ad campaign that never goes out,
which is kind of perfect for McDonald's. So we're in their employ.
They don't ever have to have our faces out there.
It's the perfect way of...
That sounds like everyone wins, to be honest.
They get left alone by us and we get to be in bed with McDonald's.
I'm going to have to write up this new proposal now.
Well, today on the show, first of all,
making his debut appearance in the Little Dum Dum Club.
You'll know him as part of Skills in Time.
Please welcome into Little Dum Dum Club, Greg Larson.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Cheers.
Very respectful up the top, speaking when spoken to.
I know.
I just want to say I played by the rules.
I was really late.
I'm sorry.
I had a settling appointment.
That's pretty overlooked now, mate.
Yeah, well, okay.
Yeah, because I played by the rules.
Politeness overrides tardiness, I think you'll find.
Yeah.
And like you said, you had a big business opportunity at Centrelink.
Yeah, I did.
I had a big Centrelink appointment.
They wanted to know how many jobs I'd been looking for.
I said a lot.
They said, thank you very much.
And they gave me a big certificate that said, I'm the best Centrelink man.
And then I left.
Can you count?
I wonder if you can count doing this podcast as going for a job.
You did provide us with that certificate at the door, which is why you're allowed on the podcast.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a job diary in the podcast diary.
So there's one to rack into that.
Well, I did actually tell them because it seemed to be running late.
And I said, look, I've got to get this appointment over and done with
because I've got a job interview.
No, I said a job opportunity.
It's only a bit vague, so I wasn't lying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think you just hurry the fuck up and give me my free money, please.
I've really, I've got my deal eyes.
I've got a free fake radio show to go to.
And also making a grand return to the show.
You would have heard it many times before.
Please welcome back into Little Dumb Dumb Club, Danny McGinley.
Hi, everyone.
Yes.
So that's what he sounds like.
That's what he sounds like.
There's pressures on you, I think, Danny,
because I think every time you are on, we have a really good episode.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Here we go.
Bombs away.
See, that's why he got so angry of the whole Movember talk up the front. a really good episode. Oh, really? Yeah. Right. Okay. Here we go. Bombs away.
See, that's why he got so angry of the whole Movember talk up the front
because he's like,
I've got a reputation to maintain on this show.
Hearing people switch off already.
Yeah.
Oh, you're boring Movember.
That's right.
Well, and also, yeah,
I just wanted the facts to be in there.
I'm a big stickler for trivia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, you told us a very uninteresting trivia fact just before the show.
Did I?
Oh, yeah, that's right.
It involved someone who's in the background of a friend of ours'
Facebook profile picture.
And the hype behind it was like,
don't know if I've told you guys this before, but strap in.
You know this guy you don't really know?
No.
No?
Well, the bloke in the background, I once met him.
That's what it was like.
You guys know that picture.
No, we've never seen it.
Well, anyway, in it.
Yeah, I've really become like Cliff from Cheers of this podcast.
I'm just always here and I'll teach you some things.
And how was your Centrelink appointment before you came here?
It went really well.
Yeah, great.
I was second best to Greg.
Number two, of course.
Number two, but he beat me in the colouring competition.
Great, great.
Full credit.
I don't know if I've told you this.
I have a friend of mine who is a real arsehole.
I'm right here, mate.
He's really one of those guys who kind of doesn't get the realm of doing,
doesn't get anything that's not a nine-to-five job.
So every time me and that group of friends hang out,
he's always just, like, looking at me going,
oh, fucking, look at you, probably just woke up and all this shit.
It's just relentless.
I've got mates who still go, oh, yeah, you go to Centrelink.
I'm like, I've never been to Centrelink for a few years.
Yeah, well, this is what happened with him.
This is what happened with him.
Like, he was, like, giving me shit about this this whole dinner,
just really busted my chops.
And I sort of had enough of it, so I started giving him stuff back.
And he had to leave the dinner early.
And as he was leaving, he goes,
See you, everyone.
Thanks for a lovely evening.
Good to see you.
And Tommy, I'll see you in the line at Centrelink.
And everyone just goes, oh.
And then my friend Pat goes, but Johnny,
that means you're going to be in Centrelink too.
You fuckhead.
And he just goes, duh, duh, and just then slunk out.
And there was kind of a pivotal moment in his friendship with a lot of my mates
because a lot of my mates then stopped hanging out with him after that moment.
Because of that?
Because of that.
Really?
Because it was like the straw.
I think that's what they told you.
No, no, this guy is a nonstop asshole.
So this was kind of like that galvanising moment in everyone else's heads
where they went, you know what, this guy's a flat-out piece of shit.
Let's not have anything to do with him anymore.
Flat-out piece of shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Shout out to him if he is listening, recently engaged.
So good luck for her, I guess.
That's a pretty strong friendship you have where someone's going to draw a line
in the sand over friendship just because he's said that you go to Centrelink.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it galvanized his, I believe you said, non-stop arseholding.
Flat out.
Flat out.
Flat out.
Well, I mean, but the thing is, I mean, you know, the business of show is so kind of unpredictable that he could well be proven right in a couple of years.
I like to think that maybe there'll be this moment where –
In a couple of years, so you've got a bit of a cash mountain in the bedroom.
There could be this moment where like he loses his job and everything.
He has to sell all his assets and he has no money and all of my opportunities
in show business dry up and we meet in the line at Centrelink
and we kind of repair the friendship over this.
He goes, see, I told you.
And I was like, yeah, you were right.
When you finish with your Walter
White bed made out of cash.
Yeah.
Because it's good now, but who knows how long it's going to last.
We are recording this at
Casa del Dasolo.
It's like Scrooge McDuck's vault in here, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
It's two seconds different.
You were talking to Larson before
just going,
you know, just be happy to do jokes.
We're not going to interrupt.
We know how jokes work.
And then you just shark when you're weighing in.
Sorry, mate, I'm more of 100 metres rather than a bloody marathon like you.
Sorry, Usain going through, mate.
Well, my neighbours Huey, Dewey and Louie are trapped in the other room in silence.
Well, I've been, you know, here's proof that I am not, I've not been in the Centrelink queue.
I've been back to Thailand for the second time in four days.
No, four months, I think it is.
Four months or so.
So, I've just come back.
It's been a...
Any announcements?
I am officially a fuckhead.
Yes.
Wow, they do that in Thailand now.
There's a form.
It's like Centrelink.
That's it.
You've got to declare it.
You've got to declare you are bringing fuckheadery into the country.
Did they have to get your girlfriend to witness it?
And she was like, oh, fuck yeah.
She did it well before I even thought about going.
Don't worry about that.
No, it was a good time.
I went with a couple of Greg Larson's new housemates.
Yes, that's right.
Just moved in to a house with a couple of other comics.
Oh, yeah, 100% of your travel mates live with Greg Larson.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a trivia fact for you,
worthy of the great Danny McGinley.
I'm not sure if you can fit all that on the back of a VB stubby lid,
but anyway.
Cut and draft, and I have been writing some of those.
Have you really?
Yeah.
You have not
go back to your story
I would be honoured if you would let me have this one
how did you get that?
that is one of the questions
I think on the bottom of the stubby
oh please sneak that in
how did you get that?
answer, alcoholic father
there's no answer
how did you get that? it, alcoholic father. That is no answer. No, how did you get that? It's who you know.
Put that in.
How did you get that?
The guy who writes the questions on the back of Carlton Draft's lids,
his name's Alan Lovett and he runs Melbourne Trivia.
He used to work at the comedy festival.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alan Lovett at Gmail.
Can I have his job?
All right.
And he's like, you know, the trivia king of the world probably.
But the one chink in his armour is...
Please.
No slurs on the podcast, please.
I was just thinking, this sounds racist.
No, Alan is a non-Asian, an Asianly
challenged man.
Is that a new term for someone who's not Asian?
Asianly challenged.
I love it.
So Alan, the one
thing he doesn't know much about is Australian
rules football and so he asked me
to write a bunch of
AFL related questions and so I've done that and a bunch of AFL-related questions
and so I've done that
and apparently they're coming out in the next batch.
That's great.
Wow.
So you need comedy festival poster as seen in a titty.
I love it.
And it's that thing where I used to go to parties
because I'm thanked in the liner notes of the Avalanche.
You did this to me at my house.
Did I? Yeah, I love doing it. I love doing it. I pull it out andvalanche's album. You did this to me at my house. Did I?
Yeah, I love doing it.
I love doing it.
I pull it out and go, oh, who's this next to Madonna?
Oh, it's this bloke, the Chan man.
Oh, it's funny.
So you're going to be going to the same parties while I'm doing that.
You're going to be like opening people's bottles.
Oh, who wrote that question about Stephen Silvani?
Oh, this bloke.
Problem is your name is actually on the Avalanche CD.
It's not like Carlton Draft says, thanks, D. McG.
Yeah.
Danny McGinley Googled this fact and then worked out a way to phrase it as a question.
And then probably didn't get paid for it.
Do you get paid?
And that laugh meant I reckon you didn't.
I haven't been paid yet.
Have you talked?
Have you discussed?
No, I figured doing this in a public forum is the best way to do this.
Alan's a big fan of the show. Oh, is he really? Oh, I figured doing this in a public forum is the best way to do this. Alan's a big fan of the show.
Oh, great. Just a free slab
of your work would probably do you.
Yeah, I wrote about 30 questions
so I reckon one beer per question, so
a cube. That's an interesting
one, being paid for
writing trivia questions because it's not
like, like I said, you're looking
them up and you're finding a way to phrase them.
What's the going rate for writing trivia?
Like if you went out and you did a bunch of things
that you then wrote the questions about,
you've put the work into actually creating the question as well.
So the trivia being like who's the first man on the moon,
I'm not allowed to write that question unless I was the first man on the moon.
No, I'm saying I don't think you deserve big bucks for having to sit there and write who was the first man on the moon. No, I'm saying I don't think you deserve big bucks
for having to sit there and write who was the first man on the moon.
Because a lot of it's not true.
So I'll go to the moon, be the first man there,
get a million dollars just for doing that,
but there's a sweet dollar at the end of it.
And then you get paid for writing the question about it, yes.
What if you saw that guy on your travels like in the Himalayas,
you're trekking up the mountains and...
Is that how you think you get to the moon?
You go to a mountain and jump?
No.
You're going up there, someone's exploring next to you
and you're like, who do you work for?
Yeah, I work for Guinness Book of Records.
Just checking, just making sure this is the biggest mountain in the world.
I don't have Google.
I don't trust that.
I'm a guy with a tape measure.
Oh, you know what?
It's not long enough. I don't think I've ever said this guy with a tape measure. Oh, you know what? It's not long enough.
I don't think I've ever said this,
but I remember someone told me this,
that Bruce McIverney,
who would be the king of AFL trivia
and all sports trivia,
and I'm not sure if this is still true,
but a couple of years ago,
someone told me that he doesn't trust the internet.
Like, he looks at it like someone's great granddad
and he still gets newspapers shipped to him from all over the world
because he'd rather wait for a copy of Le Quip from France
from two days ago to be sent to him rather than Googling anything
because he goes, yeah, but what's that?
Anyone could have typed that in.
Like, that could be completely not real.
But he's right.
Yeah, I know, but so is newspapers.
Like, that could be not real as well.
And this is coming
from a man who's in publicising
our upcoming live
birthday show, has put the wrong
date no less than four times
so far. So I totally,
I mean, you know, McIvaney's
not coming out.
That'll be my fault. I apologise.
There will be no live commentary
of the Little Dumb Dumb Club from Bruce McIvaney at the show this Sunday. That is an my fault. I apologise. There will be no live commentary of The Little Dumb Dumb Club
from Bruce McIlvaney at the show this Sunday.
That is an absolute shame.
So Bruce McIlvaney, quote, doesn't trust the internet.
Yeah, yeah.
So often when you're watching a sporting event,
you don't see his face.
You see the thing.
He's wearing a tinfoil hat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Takes it off at halftime.
How crazy is that, though?
Like, he only believes something that's been printed.
But how do you be the number one go-to guy if you disbelieve in the internet?
I wonder if there's a font that he trusts the most.
Oh, yeah.
Like, you know, but you're trusting.
It's like, oh, I can't wait for Le Quip.
You know, that's, like, I think the biggest sports newspaper in the world.
Oh, right.
I seriously thought you made it up.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So did I.
No, no, no.
It was the only French word you could go to.
Le Quip.
Yeah, Le Quip. Well, looks like I. So did I. No, no, no. It was the only French word you could go to. Le Quip. Yeah, Le Quip.
Well, it looks like I've got the job at VB from now on.
That's fine.
It's Carlton Draft who actually had it.
Alan Lovett's got a big hole in his French newspaper knowledge
that he's going to have to bring the Chan man in.
And also, you keep differentiating VB and Carlton Draft.
It's the same thing.
Yeah, it's basically the same exact beer.
I mean, it's a basic beer.
Jesus Christ.
There we go.
He's been silenced.
But now we've – he's been silenced for a long time.
Now we've gotten into beer.
Oh, mate.
Beer.
Like, I'm not going to be funny about it.
Just beer is the best thing that humans have ever done.
Yeah.
And you put that in a trivia and then write that up, million dollars.
So that would be – would that be – would that be your trivia thing of expertise?
You just write trivia about beer that's on beer.
Yeah, but again, I love beer,
but I probably don't know enough about beer to write trivia.
Right.
But I would just write what's really good and the answer, beer.
What are you drinking right now, a good beer or a bad beer?
And if it was in carton draft, bad beer.
Oh, check out Brisbane Boy.
It's not a 4X.
Oh no, don't get me wrong.
4X is one of the worst beers
I've ever tasted.
Apart from Great Northern,
which kind of tastes like
they've just got water,
then put some vodka in it
and then like beer flavouring.
It's like a no frills brand of beer.
Yeah, it's like a beer sachet.
Like out of that Maggi noodle seasoning.
Yeah.
So you were right what you said before.
You were coming to, you know, possibly some job opportunities coming up i mean so far
you've displayed knowledge of center link and beer yeah yeah why wouldn't anyone take you on
i know i know i've got a lot of things going on right now
i'd like i'd like it if it was like instead like if you write trivia about beer on beer lids but
it's just trivia about your relationship with beer so it's like oh that time i fucking did this at a party how
many tinnies that i had six like just stories the holiday that i went on with your new housemates
all i was saying while we were away was oh greg is just sitting on our couch wrapped up in three
doonas eating fried chicken for the whole holiday. That's, yeah, okay,
that's not 100% accurate,
but like it's 99.9% accurate.
Two blankets.
Yeah, it was two.
Okay, so I had one blanket
that was kind of rolled up
as like a pillow situation
because I don't have a pillow yet.
Do you have to get your pillow license?
Yeah, well, I can't afford one.
Why didn't you ask for one down at Centrelink?
I was trying to get your pillow licence? Yeah, well, I can't afford one. Why didn't you ask for one down at Centrelink? I was trying to get some new clothes,
but because my clothes are too shabby.
No, I'm just mucking around.
Yeah, no, I've just moved.
There's a lot of expenses when you move house
and you overlook things.
And a pillow was...
I can afford a pillow.
I don't want anyone...
Actually, yeah, actually, I do want people to write in and maybe donate me some money, when you move house and you overlook things and a pillow was I can afford a pillow I don't want anyone actually yeah
actually I do want people
to write in
and maybe donate me
some money
but that's just an aside
I have enough money
to buy a pillow
I just haven't got around to it
welcome to the little
kickstarter club
is this true as well
so you haven't got a pillow
you can't afford a pillow
is this true
is this true
you do not have a bed either
that's not true as of yesterday.
I found a couch on the road.
Hang on, I'm just going to have to pull you up there.
That is not a bed.
Which one are you sleeping on, the couch or the road?
Look at that sweet piece of road under the couch.
We can just get rid of this couch somehow.
Is that in a spring, Tom?
No, okay.
It was a fold-out sofa bed couch.
And what I did was I folded out the sofa bed aspect.
I was going to bring the whole couch into my room and then be like, oh, cool, I got a bed couch.
But I couldn't because of the door
and also all my friends were in Thailand.
So I was home alone
and I unfolded the
The one fault of fried chicken is it will not help
you move. No, no exactly
You could have greased the door Jan
Yeah but I wanted to save that
the grease is the best part, you get the chips and you
You could have folded that blanket into a friend
Yeah like at the end of a hotel room
like when they do a swan or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Just a little…
Just a little…
A little doona, mate.
Doona cambo.
Oh, yeah.
But I took out the mattress out of the fold-out couch.
So now I've got a mattress and I'm sorted.
You know, I've got everything.
Man, you're sweet.
Yeah.
You're sweet.
It's great.
And you have, and I hope you don't…
This isn't too personal, but as I saw you yesterday in your house,
I believe you were telling a tale of how you have made love
to a young lady in your new bed already.
Oh, yeah.
Just private information.
So, you know.
It's all right.
Centrelink won't dock your pay.
Unless you are charging for it.
Yeah.
That's saying on the job.
That's just a saying.
That's not.
Centrelink don't like officiate that or anything.
Yeah.
Oh, so you're pretty keen on telling us that story?
Oh, nah.
Nah, mate.
Nah, mate.
I, you know, like I just met someone on Tinder.
Tinder?
Tinder.
Great.
Fascinates me.
I've been using Tinder quite a lot
and I've been just chatting to all kinds of girls.
One girl I chatted to,
I was sort of talking to her
and I saw a photo and she was next to a mountain
and I said,
what's that mountain?
And she said, Everest.
And I said, so you've climbed...
Oh, she went to the VB.
But yeah, she said, I said, you've climbed Everest.
And she said, yes, I climbed Mount Everest.
And I said, okay, and just blocked her.
Like, what am I going to say?
Oh, I've got a pretty sweet mattress and I can afford to buy chicken as much as I want.
If you thought that struggle up a mountain was something,
how about you help me bring this couch into my bedroom from the street?
Oh, man.
That is, I like the step in not just no communication,
but actual I'm so intimidated by this
that I don't even want you to have the option of contacting me.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, I couldn't.
No, I couldn't do it.
Oh, that's wild.
What's your greatest achievement, Greg?
My greatest achievement in my life?
Yeah.
I've completed an honours degree.
Is that something?
Yeah, that's something.
In what?
Sociology.
Sociology, not chicken.
Because you're a man who when I met you the first time,
I believe it was in Brisbane,
I was staying in the house where you were living,
a large house in Brisbane.
The nunnery.
The nunnery, yeah.
And you are a guy who you have a story for almost every occasion.
Like I just – when we were hanging out,
it was like any any topic that
came up you had something from your life that related to it in some way to the point where i
kind of became a bit sus on it and started to think that you were bullshitting because i just
thought this is too crazy that this guy has a story that story about not having a bed is too
crazy he must have a bed somewhere i've got riders that were helping me with that.
People on the payroll.
Yeah, I put the call out.
I'm like, I've got my chance.
I'm on the little dum-dum.
I need a good story.
And they said, your mattress and a fold-out couch.
There we go.
A hundred bucks well spent.
I believe when I met you, it was just off the back of you.
Someone had hit you really hard with a cricket ball.
Oh, yeah.
That was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life.
Yeah.
And you were doing a show with people who made fun of you about it nonstop.
I know.
And it was made worse by the fact that, okay,
basically I got hit with a cricket ball in the nuts.
I had to go to hospital because of it.
They did a scan and everything.
They were like, oh, you may have ruptured your testicles,
so we might want to do some exploratory surgery.
And I actually said, and they said, or you could just go home and rest.
And I was just like, okay, I'll go home and rest.
But what happened was I went in for another follow-up ultrasound
and they actually said, hey, we think we've noticed something on the scan, but there's all this go home and rest. But what happened was I went in for another follow-up ultrasound and they actually said,
hey, we think we've noticed something on the scan
but there's all this bruising and stuff we can't quite tell.
You might have testicular cancer
and you've got to wait a month for the swelling to go down to find out.
And I only told Henry and Sam because I was doing a show with them
and it was really hard because I kind of started laughing
when I was explaining it and I couldn't
because I thought they wouldn't believe me
and then I thought that they would think I was saying
a joke so I just laughed while I was doing it
and I was like yeah I might have
testicular cancer and everything and they didn't
believe me but then they finally did believe me
and I told them not to tell anyone else but they
just made fun of me for the entire month
and then I didn't have cancer
To be honest I'm surprised you didn't go in for the surgery straight away
since you didn't have anything to go home and rest on.
Mate, back in Brisbane, I had a full life.
I had a bed.
I had a girlfriend and everything.
Pillows, all the pillows.
I had four pillows maybe, yeah.
I was going to say this before.
I sympathise with you on the pillow thing.
If you've ever been like going to stay to do gigs
and you stay like it's on someone's couch or floor or whatever
and like I'm very – you know, you get very particular
about the amount of pillow that you have under your head
when you're sleeping.
Do you know what I mean?
Like so if someone's just got a really thin pillow
that they've given you and so sometimes I'll kind of –
or if there's – sometimes there's no spare pillow
and so you're just sleeping on the clothes that are in your bag.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a sad moment.
If I go and stay with my parents, they have really thin pillows.
I've got to bring my own pillow.
I'm one of those dudes.
I don't like a thin pillow.
Yeah.
This is something.
I recently, me and my girlfriend went and bought new pillows
from Cap'n Snooze up the road.
And they try and tell you, like,
have you seen those things that are used by dates now
that they have on pillows?
It's like this is only good for like 12 months or 24 months. Well, this is what I got. What are you talking about? news up the road. And they try and tell you like, have you seen those things that are used by dates now that they have on pillows?
It's like this is only good for like 12 months or 24 months or something.
This is what I got. What are you talking about?
The guy goes to me, so you got these new pillows and he talks us through and he was really
like talking us through the different thicknesses and all that kind of stuff.
It was a very nice afternoon, just basically lying down, testing out the softness of something
on the back of your head.
But then he goes, well, yeah, we'll take, okay, two of those, please.
And he goes, oh, well, when you sleep, your head sweats
and that kind of like wears out the pillow and stains it.
So I can sell you this like kind of cover that goes in between the pillowcase
and the pillow that kind of absorbs the sweat in your sleep
and that's going to help the pillow to last a bit longer.
Scam.
And I go, okay, great, two of them, thanks.
And he goes, no, no, you don't need two, you just need one
because it's only the male's head that does that.
Old sweaty noggin dastardly.
Which I call bullshit on.
But what kind of a scam is that where you're talking yourself
out of 50% of a sale?
Do you know what I mean?
There would be a separate one.
They would have a separate one for women.
Like a woman comes in and they'd go, oh, no,
and because women, something about shampoo
and you need this more expensive one.
No, but my girlfriend was with me.
So he didn't try and...
I'm not shocked by some sort of scam happening there.
I think I might go and buy one.
Because I've wrecked plenty of pillows that way.
Isn't it the worst?
We haven't even had those ones for that long
and then we washed the pillowcases the other day
and it's already, ugh, it's disgusting.
And she got sweat on her one or?
Well, we've swapped around a little bit.
That's the kind of crazy relationship we have, guys.
Whoa, you guys are into some wild stuff.
Yeah, I just, I don't know.
If anyone is listening, we need to get bloody Dr. Carl on the podcast
and ask him about this because only men sweat out of their heads in their sleep.
That sounds preposterous.
I don't know.
It does not sound right at all.
It doesn't sound right at all.
I fully believe it.
I'm going to go and buy several of those things.
Tell you what, let's go get a slab now and just drink
until we find that trivia question.
It's got to be in there somewhere.
Yeah, we could tweet Dr. Carl or we could just drink until we find the answer.
Yeah, that's a really good idea.
Or you could just bring Greg down to that bedding shop that you've been to.
I think that would be more helpful.
So, yeah, I went on a holiday with your housemates.
Because the thing is when your housemates go on a holiday,
it's like you get a holiday as well that you don't have to pay for
because you have the house to yourself.
And it was kind of good because I'd just moved into this new house
and I'd been staying at my sister's house previous to that
and then it's kind of another room that I was kind of subletting.
And then I'd just moved in and then housemates are gone.
I'm just living on my own for a week.
And you get to kind of set up the house a little bit. Yeah, i set it up and then you can just sit there and you're like oh
do i need to like put on clothes today nah just stand i just stand around the couch when i saw it
yesterday well okay so the playstation was plugged in yeah sorry xbox 360 but yes um yeah like i set
that up that's what i mean when i say set up like I mean get my chicken get my Xbox
and just play
fold that blanket
and go for it
yeah
yeah
but I did go
with your housemates
and
it was a bit of a
late notice
holiday
it was booked
I think we booked
it about three days
four days before
I didn't even know
you could book in
to be on a plane
at that short notice.
Yeah.
And not only that, but it was such short notice that the day I went to book it, one of the
guys sent a message through saying, look, I'm sorry, it's just too late notice and I'm
thinking it's going to cost too much money for a week to go over there.
It's going to wreck the rest of my year if I spend that much money on a week's holiday.
I just can't justify it and I can't afford it
I'm really sorry boys
I'm out
and then I get a message
from the other guy
saying
did you just hear
from the other bloke
and I went yeah
and I was sort of
presuming
the other card's
going to fall down
going oh it's all off now
and he goes
oh don't worry
I convinced him
to get back into it
I just rang him
and said
stop being a fuckhead
and he's back in and he's back in now so you went on holiday with Nick Cody I convinced him to get back into it. I just rang him and said, stop being a fuckhead.
And he's back in now.
So you went on holiday with Nick Cody.
Yeah, I did like the extreme lengths you went to to give those gentlemen their anonymity in that story.
Yeah, I've got no idea, but I'm trying to piece it all together.
I want to know who Greg's living with.
Very respectful work from someone who was just badgering one of our guests
to explain his sex life to us.
I didn't ask her name.
To give dignity to men who aren't here.
I didn't ask her name.
I'm very gentlemanly.
We've just got to find someone on Tinder who's climbed Everest.
Just crack open another slab.
Who rooted lasso the other night?
Turn it upside down?
That's a good one.
You pop open a tinny lid and it just says,
who'd lasso root?
It's so many questions here.
The guy who created the far side?
Because probably heaps of people I'd imagine.
Well, I wouldn't have thought that many.
Yeah, maybe not.
I think a certain type of lady he'd have his veritable pick of the litter.
I believe she would have glasses, big hair.
Yeah.
Or a cow.
That's it. You just picture him like one of his characters in his books.
Yeah.
What's he doing now?
Anyway.
So I came back from Thailand yesterday.
I've only just got back.
Anyway, for another time.
I came back from Thailand yesterday.
I've only just got back.
And my last day, I had severe food poisoning.
I was counselling you over Facebook chat.
You were.
You gave me a little bit of tips on what to do to get a bit of a... You seemed very frustrated, like a man who'd tried everything.
And then I said, you need to get some Hydrolyte.
And you said, what's that?
No, I hadn't tried anything.
All I'd tried is not spewing hadn't that hadn't worked at all it's working for
you now yeah oh look that was when i was talking to you that was right at the end of my of my
darkest hours because you were because we got me and my girlfriend got food poisoning there and we
we very luckily got it in in the middle of being somewhere where there was no travel involved but
you were spewing and then having to go to the airport. Yeah, when I was talking to you, I was still spewing
and I was getting kicked out of my hotel room in 45 minutes.
Oh, no.
So I was a little bit worried.
Getting kicked out.
I like the violent description for a prearranged.
Man, it was.
You know what?
At 12 o'clock on the dot, we were supposed to be out of the room
at 12 o'clock. A woman came in were supposed to be out of the room at 12 o'clock.
A woman came in and just opened the door and went, right?
And I went, oh, checkout.
And she goes, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, and I went, oh, yeah, I'm just packing my stuff.
And she went, okay, and stood there.
And I took 10 minutes to pack my stuff in a clearly dehabilitated way.
Yeah.
And she just watched as I struggled around the room.
She could tell you've been spewing because there's a full fish skeleton
on the floor.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
A couple of empty cans.
Yeah, yeah.
I'd been eating a lot of stuff out of Mad Magazine that night.
Oh, look, she had a tough job ahead of her in that bathroom.
Yeah.
Well, maybe it's the time to tune out now but, yeah,
some people like this stuff on this show and some people don't.
But man, it was, yeah.
I mean, obviously I had food poisoning, so I was on the toilet all, not on the toilet, I was in the bathroom all night.
And there was a fair bit of stuff to clean up afterwards.
And yeah, there was at one point I was, I had my head in the toilet just going for it and thinking,
I've also got a, you know, for want of a better word, fart.
Yeah.
And that wasn't what I was actually doing.
I shat all over the bathroom as I had my head in the toilet.
I wish you'd given the treatment to that story
that you gave to the names of your children companions.
I did something all over the bathroom.
I've never had that.
I've never had the double
going at the same time. Everybody out
both exits. Yeah.
This sounds awful to say
but I kind of feel like that's
like a bucket list thing.
If only he had a bucket.
But I just thought at the time it was actually
coming out of both ends at the same time
and it was like I'd gotten it completely wrong because my head was in the toilet and my ass was just pointed at nothing.
Just, it should have been the other way around.
Not that I should have been spewing on the floor, but anyway, I think it would have been better.
But, like, if someone had walked in, if, like, the aliens had come down, gone through the roof and had a look at, the first look at a human creature and just gone what is this thing? Is this what this
produces from both angles?
What do we need
this thing for? Always a good part in a story
when metaphorical aliens
that's my favourite
part of any story anyone tells
Have you ever
had food poisoning Greg? I've had
food poisoning
once. I don't even know, actually no I don't think I have had food poisoning, Greg? I've had food poisoning once. I don't even know.
Actually, no, I don't think I have had food poisoning
because I'll eat some weird shit.
I'll just eat some bad stuff fairly regularly.
So I feel like I've got some kind of immunity to actual food poisoning.
Have you ever eaten this stuff?
Because I've still got burst blood vessels on my head
from vomiting so hard.
Oh, I've never had that happen.
For those who aren't watching this on TV,
the best way to describe it is, yeah,
Carl lifted up his fringe and it looks like he was dressed
as Freddy Krueger and didn't get all the make-up off.
No, I know what it is.
This is a little cover for getting a bad hair transplant
over in Thailand.
Well, no, it does look bad.
To be coming through Thailand airport looking like that
with all that stuff, it just looks like, yeah,
what have you got to declare?
Just a case of the AIDS, mate.
Is that cool?
Yeah.
Oh, it's not real AIDS because I got it in Thailand.
It's pirate AIDS.
Knock off, mate.
I did a, I had a, like, I was vomiting so much,
I, like, burst a blood vessel in my eye.
So, like, my right eye was just red like clap
like i couldn't it didn't affect my vision but then i'd look in the mirror and had like half
sort of terminated vision going on it was yeah just yuck yeah just really intense yeah man it
was um yeah it was unlike you greg i eat a lot of shit and i feel like i don't know what it is but
i feel like i should get sick a lot more than I do.
I think you probably build up, I'm just basing this off nothing, but I feel like you build
up.
Oh, please go on.
If you intentionally eat dodgy things, or not intentionally, you just eat dodgy things.
That's just what you do, yeah.
Hey, all I ate was chicken off a stall on the street in Thailand.
I didn't deserve that.
No, well, I might get food poisoning if I go to Thailand, but street in Thailand. I didn't deserve that. No.
Well, I might get food poisoning if I go to Thailand.
But the other thing is I don't ever throw up.
And I know that, I think it was Jerry Seinfeld.
I don't know if this is true or just a plot line of his shows,
but he says he never throws up.
So that's one thing I have in common with the great Jerry Seinfeld
as a comedian.
So I don't throw up.
I pretty rarely like drinking.
I hardly ever throw up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The last time I remember throwing up was at an Oktoberfest celebration.
And I did think I had food poisoning because I'd been out drinking
and whatever.
See, I can see why you thought that.
Well, because I felt like I didn't drink that much.
And then I woke up at like two in the morning going,
oh, my God, I've got to throw up. And I was throwing up. And then I woke up at like two in the morning going, oh my God, I got to throw up.
And I was throwing up.
And then I was running through my head like,
what did I eat yesterday?
I was like, I had a bratwurst, like a fricadella,
which is like a German rissole, like a pork roll, a schnitzel.
Then I had that other bratwurst.
Then I had a cheese cream skin.
Very hungry caterpillar.
And then I started thinking, oh, hang on.
No, I just filled up my stomach.
Like I couldn't, like I obviously had to throw up because I ate a million things.
Yeah.
And about 20 litres of beer.
So, yeah.
It was the last time I threw up and that was 2007 or 8.
That's gone back a long time.
Yeah.
You're almost due.
Yeah, mate.
I reckon I could go another couple of years.
2020.
I'll set the date now.
I'll call it.
I'll pay Bruce to call it, you know, just so you count.
Wait till you got a job.
You got a bit of support behind you before you start planning spews.
Yeah, sorry.
Sorry, mate.
I'm getting ahead of myself here.
Here's something that I don't know if I've heard directly from you.
I think someone else told me this about you.
When you first moved to Melbourne, you had a job interview and you had a suit,
but you didn't have a nice pair of shoes.
So did you get –
Yeah, okay, yep.
I moved to Melbourne and I had a job interview and exactly as you said,
I did not have a nice pair of black shoes and I was pretty low on cash,
which is surprising and I happened to have –
because we did a show here where I dressed up as a robot
and part of my costume was these giant black gumboots yes just like daft punk wear just like
daft punk yeah exactly um so i had these uh like a hard yakka like a like over a set of overalls
that i just ripped off the hard yakka logo and i had the gumboots and i went yeah these are black
so what i did was i just got some scissors and cut off the whole top portion of the gum boot.
So I was just wearing gum boots that were like this really...
And I had to use a bread knife as well
because the scissors broke halfway through.
So it was this really jagged cut
and they were just like normal boots
and then I just pulled my business pants down over them.
Why didn't you do that for the whole gum boot?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, yeah. Well, yeah.
Well, see, I...
Then what would you have done with the scissors?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Sorry to get all Columbo over here.
Were you just there with the gumboots in their intact state,
just praying for rain that day?
Then it's okay if I just wear the gumboots.
What sort of jobs were you going for in Queensland?
Mate, just bloody chicken shop worker.
How wet were the floors in the chicken shop?
Oh, mate, just grease.
So did you get away with it?
Yeah, nobody noticed.
I had to sit there like-
Hang on, did you get the job?
Yes, I got the job.
Oh, what?
Hang on, but you're at Centrelink now. got the job. Oh, what? There you go.
Hang on, but you're at Centrelink now.
Yeah, I didn't manage to hold on to that job.
When it came to the half-yearly shoe review.
Yeah, because he had nothing to wear on Gumboot Friday.
He wore them in there like, what the fuck are they?
This is a disgrace.
But I just want to point out too that the day that I was told
that they would no longer be needing me at this job,
I went to the bathroom prior to the meeting
where I was told that I would no longer be needed.
And in the bathroom, and this is an office building,
a high-rise office building in the finance industry,
and I was inside the bathroom and there was human feces on the wall.
So I got...
Had Carl just been in there?
Yeah.
Basically, I walked out thinking, I got fired,
but someone who put human feces on the wall still works there to this day.
And also, like, what are you putting –
like, if it's not in protest of having been fired,
why are you just casually walking in and putting feces on the wall?
I don't know.
I don't think he'd brought it with him.
I think he'd been creating it in the store.
Well, we don't know.
There's clearly some kind of madman we're dealing with here.
No one has dusted for feces yet.
That is – yeah, that is devastating.
That is devastating.
Have you had any spectacular firings?
That was the only time, oh no, I was fired once before,
but that was from a telemarketing job and that was because I called someone up
and it was just a message, an answering machine.
This was a long time ago and I really liked Tom Green a lot.
And I don't know why, I just went like, cheese sandwich, cheese sandwich, Swedish, Swedish into the answering machine and then hung up.
And then my boss came over and goes...
It sounds more like you like cheese sandwich a lot rather than Tom Green.
Yeah, well, I like both.
And then my boss came over and goes, look, mate,
what are you doing here?
You can't just say cheese sandwich on people's answering machines.
And I said, yeah, look, sorry.
And he goes, plus you've made no sales, so see you later.
The cheese sandwich was what tipped him off.
Yeah.
I reckon they would have been into cheese sandwiches
if you had to do your job properly apart from that.
Well, is it time?
I think it's time to do the next instalment.
Oh, yeah.
We'll take a quick break.
Of Australia's favourite long-running series.
Favourite and longest running, apparently, according to the lead of a Carlton draft that
I read before.
A very defective batch, but still.
Yes, yes.
Here it is.
Here it is. Cat and a dog, now see me be rad in your catalogue. Yeah.
Word to your mother.
Cause I'm Rad Dad.
He's the raddest dad in town.
Rad Dad.
Okay, Jenny, it's time to go to bed now.
Rad Dad, can you read me a bedtime story first?
But Jenny, we don't have any books here in your room.
Just tell me one out of your head.
Oh, okay.
I guess I can remember one.
Oh, goody, Rad Dad.
Okay, here goes.
There once was a very handsome tubular father.
Is this story about you, Rad Dad?
No.
And this tubular father had a daughter called jenny rad dad is that me no because that's my name my name's jenny no so tubular father and his daughter jenny jenny were in jenny's room
and tubular father was reading her a bedtime story. Are you just talking about what's happening right now?
No.
And he was being a very good tubular father by reading his daughter a bedtime story
and making his other 40-year-old awesome buddies wait outside for him
even though he'd rather be out there writing his name in wet cement
than doing kickflips and lots of other totally awesome cool stuff
that he could have been doing if his girlfriend had forgotten to take the pill one night 12 years
ago and...
Oh, holy shit.
This kid has totally passed out.
Takes after her old man.
And now I'm off to totally ollie and grind happily ever after.
Here I come, dudes.
Rad Dad is filming in front of a live studio audience.
That was great.
Hope you all enjoyed that.
Do you like that, Greg?
Oh, mate, what a great break.
I hope there was enough time
in between me saying
here it is and we're back
that we're able to fit that
in the middle of that edit.
Yeah, yeah.
I haven't worked out
how to put silences in
when I edit yet,
so we really do
have to do this in real time.
Usually all you have to do
to get a silence
is tell a joke.
Oh, snap. Oh, I'm going to kill myself now. Usually all you have to do to get a silence is tell a joke. Oh, snap.
I'm going to kill myself now.
That's why this bloke's got a job and Larson doesn't.
I do have to go to that job very soon.
Well, let's get your big news out of the way then.
I believe we have a Dum Dum exclusive, a podcast exclusive.
You didn't bring this up on What The Fuck with Marc Maron?
No, I didn't.
Yes, big
announcement. I am the new host of
Spics and Specs.
That is excellent.
No, I'm not.
I don't know.
Hang on. I think he's disappointed he applied for that
job at Centrelink today.
Well, yeah, I feel
this is the best time to...
I've not talked about this on stage.
I've kind of kept it off social media.
But, yeah, Dum Dum fans have sort of gone with me
for the journey of my last few years of my life
and I won't be doing a show
at next year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
That is great news, Danny.
That is excellent to hear.
Oh, man. I'm genuinely happy for you, Danny. That is excellent to hear. Man.
I'm genuinely happy for you, man.
I'm not just happy for you,
but I'm happy for everyone else who goes to the comedy festival.
I can't wait not to see it.
What's the Kickstarter address?
I'll chip in for this.
What are you going to not call it?
The reason I'm not doing it is my wife is pregnant.
Oh, yes.
How did you get that?
Oh, boy.
Yeah, I'll draw you a diagram.
I will take you
up on that.
All the dumb,
dumb listeners
know how hot
my wife is.
They would be
quite keen
even for a stick
figure written on the back of a carton draft bottle. Just describe it for us now. the dumb dumb listeners know how hot my wife is so they would be quite keen even for a stick figure
written on the back of a carton draft bottle just describe it for us now just a picture smeared in
shit on a toilet wall is there anything like what i did in a bathroom in thailand is that yeah i see
i i you told me this a little a little while ago that's right you and i uh we've only had one
installment so far but we've started up a daytime movie club.
That's right.
Because we live near each other and we both like films
and we're both in relationships.
And, you know, when you're in a relationship,
that's when you go to most of your movies.
So you don't have to accept that there's a lot of...
Yeah, but you usually go with the person you're in the relationship with,
not with other people.
But we've set up a mutual thing for movies
that neither of our girlfriends want to see,
but that we want to see.
Is that the rules?
Right.
Is it just a porno movie club?
We go to the shaft cinema.
Yeah, we got our Crazy Horse yearly membership.
But yeah, you and I went and saw Gravity in 3D at IMAX,
and it was great.
We both enjoyed it very much, and then we said our goodbyes, and I went and saw Gravity in 3D at IMAX. And it was great. You know, we both enjoyed it very much.
And then we said our goodbyes and I was walking off to a gig.
And then you called me and you went, oh, where are you?
Are you still near the cinema?
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm like just down the street.
And you're like, okay, cool, I'll ride and catch up to you.
And then you're like, oh, I forgot to tell you something.
I'm like, oh, okay.
And then you come cycling up.
What did you think that the news was that I had to cycle, chase after you?
Yeah, I'm trying to think now.
That was one that entered my head because I think I said –
Were you going to cycle up to go, hey, George Clooney died in that movie?
Because I think I – no, I think I said this to you.
It was weird because just that day, for whatever reason,
I'd been thinking, I wonder if Danny's like Danny and his wife are planning to have a kid.
I had actually been thinking about that.
So, I mean, I'm not saying that I'm responsible for it.
Were you masturbating whilst you thought about this?
To be clear, were you just thinking about his wife having sex, not really thinking about Danny in the story at all?
Remain silent on that.
Don't want to be dragged into your realm of filth.
Is this one of the movies you were going to watch?
Were you watching The Conception of Danny's Baby?
Okay, these are just all for you now, aren't they?
Hang on, I've got three more.
I've got three more.
Okay.
But yeah, I felt very honoured to be let in.
I even got shown a photo of the...
Of the little thing?
The nickname we've got for her is just The Lump.
The Lump.
Yeah.
That's not a bad actual name.
No, stick with it, I think.
Stick with it.
Well, we're arguing now over names.
She's sort of agreed that she'll give it McGinley as a last name.
She's, you know, equal rights and new age.
Is her last name McGinley?
No, no, no.
She kept her Ukrainian name.
Sure.
What about this?
I saw someone on Facebook the other day that's done the,
that the guy's taken the hyphenated girls.
Yeah.
I mean.
They've both.
No, just he's done it.
Just he.
So he had a hyphenated name, but she kept her name?
She kept her name.
Oh, what?
Yeah.
Good on him.
What about that?
Why good on him?
Because, I don't know, he's doing something different.
There's no actual rule that says.
Yeah, I did something different in Thailand, but it wasn't good.
I don't know.
I don't know how.
I mean, on one hand, yeah, good on you.
It's 2013, but there's something.
I know a couple who they didn't like either of their surnames
and so they've made up their own.
That's cool.
Well, the problem is they've gone with Von Karate.
I've given away his name.
Yeah, yeah, you have.
Von Karate.
But the problem is, how's this?
It's not even Von Karate. They've spelt it, you have. Von Karate. But the problem is, how's this? It's not even Von Karate.
They've spelt it with a C.
Con Karate?
So you go,
yeah, my name's Tim Von Karate
and people go, okay, that's a weird name.
It's with a C. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, God.
Oh, man. His last name was
Finger. Oh, okay.
And he married Anita. I get it. Anita Finger. He last name was Finger. Oh, okay. The story's cleared up. I get it.
I get it.
Anita Finger.
Okay.
He didn't marry Anita.
Was his last name really Finger?
Yeah, it was.
Well, that's fair enough.
Because you see those people with those absolutely ridiculous last names
and you go, why would you hold on to that?
I know there's some sort of family tradition,
but you know what your family tradition is?
Having shit poured on you for the last hundred years.
The number one, the one that I cannot believe is still out there i to butt rose
currently on tv every day i've never thought of that name like that are you kidding yes
you've i just that astounds me that she's right she's never rose i never thought rose that would
be the oh man that would be one that you'd be as soon as you turn whatever the age you've got to be,
is straight down the post office.
Well, 37 for me, to figure out that that's a funny name.
But anyway.
It's like one day, oh, my God.
You've somehow managed to avoid the teasing and everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I think Cockburn or Coburn.
Yeah, yeah, Cockburn.
What about Allsop?
That's pretty bad.
Allsop?
Man, I think as soon as I was... Allsop? That's pretty bad. Allsop? Yeah.
I think as soon as I was eight years old,
I think I would have changed it just like Dazzle did.
That's what he did.
That's my thing that I did.
Gents, I've got to run and go do dad stuff.
Oh, really?
Well, I've got to go do project.
Oh.
Working for the project?
Working for the project.
How many minutes into this podcast are we?
I reckon we can call it here.
That's enough.
That's enough podcast.
Sorry to do that, guys.
I was enjoying it and everything.
Yeah, well. I also wanted to tell the story of the fight you and I had,
Carl and I had.
We started telling Dustin before the show.
Oh, that's boring.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to compliment you on your amazing fighting technique,
how he can turn me bagging him into him, the footwork on this guy.
He just turned it into the whole argument became how much of a tight ass I am.
Let's just say I was pretty good and leave it at that.
He's a skilled man.
Anyway, guys, that is just about all the time we have left
for the Little Dumb Dumb Club.
Greg Glass and Danny McGinley, thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you. Danny,
you're going to put that microphone down and walk out the front
door it seems. Pretty much, yeah. Have you got anything you'd like to
plug coming up? Yeah, I'm doing the
entire month of December
at the Last Laugh at the Athenaeum,
the Christmas shows with a friend of the show, Lawrence Mooney.

We've got the birthday show.
Yeah, well, Greg's gig's on Wednesday.
Mine, of course, is Five Burrows Comedy on a Thursday night,
which is just up the road from there, Thursday night.
So check in there.
That's coincidentally where we're having the third birthday show.
This Sunday, November the 24th, 5 p.m.

Yeah, plenty of tickets sold so far, so please get in.
It's going to be a super fun show.
We've got secret guests.
We've got friends of the show.
We've got people that have never been on the show before.
Yep, yep.
It's going to be pretty good.
Yeah, so check that out, guys.
You've also got your Adelaide show.
Yes, please, guys.
It's an understatement to say that I haven't sold too many tickets
for my Adelaide show.
So if you can get in there, I think I'm on in, what, a couple of weeks?
I'm on Tuesday night on December the 3rd, I think it is.
December the 4th or December the 3rd?
You've got a bad history with dates, so maybe people check the 2nd and the 4th just in case.
Yeah, check my Facebook or check my Twitter or just the internet in general.
Bruce McIverney, if you're out there listening, I'm going to put an ad in Le Quip, so get that.
Straight from Paris.
And can I do a very quick shout out to Bree, the camera operator at Channel 10, who is the biggest Dum Dum fan in the world.
And she'd get a thrill out of this.
She's coming.
She messaged the other day.
Oh, there we go.
Good on you. I actually have a story about something that happened that night that we met her
that I've been holding on to.
Next time.
Yeah, anyway, whatever.
Next time.
All right.
I'm going now.
Bye, everyone.
Cool.
See you, Danny.
Yeah.
Chandler and Adelaide.
Check that out.
Yeah.
As I'm looking at my iPhone right now, it's December the 3rd.
It's at 7 p.m.
It feels really sad
that we're still here going
when people have literally just walked
out of the show. I'm still here, mate.
Yeah, yeah,
because you've got nowhere to sleep.
But yeah, come down.
If you're in Melbourne, please come down
and say hi. It's going to be heaps of fun.
On Sunday night, we're going to probably have some beers eat and have some beers and all that sort of stuff.
Yeah, do it.
So it'll be fun.
Great.
Thanks heaps for listening, guys, and we'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
