Hey mates, if you've been on our Facebook or our Twitter page recently, you'll know that we are currently trying to get Josh Earle into the Hottest 100 on Triple J for his Rad Dad theme.
If you're voting, or even if you're not voting, and you want to chuck him in, that would be so cool.
Go onto the Triple J website, triplej.net.au, and you'll have to write it in, Josh Earle as the artist and Rad Dad theme as the song.
If we get him in, it would be such a great win for him and for the show and for
just general stupidity. So go and be a part of that, please, triplej.net.au. Also, we're
doing live stand-up shows and podcasts, Brisbane and Melbourne, a whole bunch of stuff is on
sale now. For all the details and tickets, go to our website, littledumbdumbclub.com,
and we'll see you there, mates.
there, mates. Hey, mates, welcome once again into the Little Dumb Dumb Club for another week. Thank you very much for joining us. My name is Tommy Dasolo, and sitting opposite
me is the other half of this show, Carl Chandler. G'day, dickhead. Hey, now, we've talked at
length on this program about your love of a sausage sizzle. Yeah. That's something that we share, but I think you're slightly more of an aficionado than I am.
I am.
I saw something the other day that I think you'll be a fan of.
Set up at the Officeworks near my house.
Yeah.
Drive-through sausage sizzle.
Oh.
Why drive-through?
I know.
The Officeworks.
But if you're in Melbourne, you might know it.
It's the Officeworks that's off Alexandra Parade.
So you have to turn off a busy main road to get onto it.
And they had set up kind of right near the driveway.
So the potential for a car just careening into the barbecue off the main road was very, very high.
Like I was there at three in the afternoon and I saw it and I went,
I can't believe this has been here all day and it's still standing.
Like this should be a crime scene at this time of day so far.
And also why Officeworks agreeing to it?
Like, oh, yeah, that's cool.
As long as there's absolutely no potential customers coming off the back of this,
that would be great.
Yeah, that's the bit I love is that's the whole point of why they set up in the first place.
But, yeah, I mean, just how lazy are you that you've got to –
and it's not a kind of a type of food that lends itself
to just being able to hang out the window and then sit there
and wait for it to be cooked and be kind of awkwardly leaning over
and grabbing the tomato sauce bottle and putting it on yourself.
It's never very efficient, like, the way that you're getting the sausages anyway.
It's always like, you know, someone's nan, like, cooking them,
and then, like, a five-year-old taking the change.
So it's like, and then the nan's having to lean over and go,
no, no, no, you just give them $2 change, not $50 from a $5 note.
Yeah.
Can you just do that?
And they go, what?
And then they have to drop the tongs and come over and serve yourself.
Absolutely, yeah.
So I'm looking forward to seeing if this ever comes back.
I'm tempted to go down to Officeworks every day over the summer
and see if this idea ever gets reinstated or whether...
Oh, that was just a...
I've only seen it once.
Was that like In-N-Out coming to Sydney?
Yeah.
Testing the waters.
Yeah, pop-up shop.
Little boutique pop-up sausage sizzle.
There's someone in Sausages Inc. going,
Sausages have been going down, you know, how are we going to boost them up? How are we going to boost them up? It's hard times at the moment at Sausage sizzle There's someone in it Sausages Inc Going Sausages have been going down
You know
How are we going to
How are we going to boost them up
How are we going to boost them up
It's hard times at the moment
At Sausages Inc
They're really going down
All this health food craze
It's all quinoa
Joining us on the show today
First time we've welcomed him on
And we've been wanting to
Tee this up for a while
So it's lovely to have him in here
You'll know him from the project
And from Wake Up
Please welcome in
To Little Dumb Dumb Club
Sam Mack
Thank you guys
Thank you, guys.
Thank you very much.
I was loving it.
I was just a spectator just enjoying the show.
Yeah, please.
Although you did give me an idea for a potential business if Sausage Inc. want to branch out.
I think they should because, you know,
they're under threat being taken over by the consortium Salad Inc.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But what about you said it's difficult to eat a sausage sandwich in a car.
What about instead of cup holders, sausage sandwich holders?
Oh, sausage holders.
That is awesome.
I love it.
Yeah.
You can have it.
It's all yours.
I can have that.
Great.
You can have it.
I'm on record.
This is your idea.
Well, look, what's Tommy get?
Because you know when a parent has to give out two presents, you know?
Oh, okay.
You better think about something for Tommy.
I'm just going to give something from my hotel room.
You give one podcaster a sausage holder,
then the other one wants a sausage holder.
Yeah, thank you for having me on.
I really enjoy it.
I know, it sounds like I'm obligated to say
that I enjoy the podcast.
I do actually enjoy the podcast.
Oh, lovely.
Well, we enjoy, you know, the breakfast show
that you do on Channel 10
that I can't remember the name of.
Wake Up.
Wake Up.
It's pretty easy.
It's something that people say most mornings,
something you do every day.
Hang on, who says Wake Up most mornings?
I do just before I wake up.
How else do you do it?
You appear before yourself in a dream,
tell yourself to wake up.
Do you have an alarm clock or something?
You're right.
We didn't think this name through.
You've exposed us.
The training, the mental training involved to wean yourself off the alarm clock
and to just appear before yourself in a dreamlike state.
In a Princess Leia-like apparition.
Wake up, you're my only hope.
Now, I was watching the show
before we came in here to do this.
Wake up.
No, I think you crossed over
into Studio 10 territory.
Wake up.
I just heard wake up.
Carl's on the nod.
Yeah, I did.
So Studio 10 is the show
that's on after Wake Up.
Yeah.
And because we had
quite a moment this morning,
basically two guys
were racing and speed skating for a chance
and only one of them could go to the Sochi Olympics,
the Winter Olympics.
I thought you were about to say the Sausage Olympics.
You can have that.
Isn't that just Mardi Gras?
There's a lot of bronze up there.
There's not really enough competitive element to Mardi Gras
That they need to bring in
Time trials
What if those floats were racing?
That'd be awesome
Yes
That'd be excellent
So that happened this morning
Steve Bradbury was there as well
And it was remarkable
It came down to the final race
So they had like a best of three thing
It came down to the final race
And then on the final turn of this last race they're both young guys who obviously have been
training for years to get to this point they had one of those classic run into each other collisions
where one guy goes down the other guy sort of goes through and takes it but then the discussion was
over whether or not he you know legitimately deserved to win or whether he nudged the guy so
deliberation by the referees back and forth yeah And in the end, not that anyone cares, but the tall guy won.
And because that happened towards the end of Wake Up,
Studio 10 needed to find out the final result because it was a cliffhanger.
People around Australia need to know this stuff.
It was rigged, we know, just to boost ratings.
And because you've crossed over into the second show,
is that a bit more sweet bunts in Sam Max? No.
Oh, no.
It's Channel 10.
We don't have that sweet bunts to throw around.
And ironically, it was obviously, you know, like you said,
you had Stephen Redbreed there commentating on who would know all about it,
about that sort of...
I quite liked that as I watched the race and they're going around,
it's like, and you've done all the hard work.
You've done all the heavy lifting.
You know, this is how important this is, this time trial.
These guys have been training and racing for years and years.
And he gives a bit of colour as they're going around.
He goes, well, this is about the slowest race I've ever watched.
This is actually really bad.
This is so slow compared to normal.
Well, because me and my girlfriend were watching it.
I'd gotten up. I'd gotten up.
I'd gotten breakfast.
I'd gone back into the bedroom and told her to wake up,
at which point she did get up.
It's event television, so I'm glad the whole family is together.
Yeah, but they went from the studio.
They went, we're now going to cross to Sam Mack,
who's keeping us updated with this event.
We're going to cross to Sam Mack and Stephen Bradbury,
and they cross, and there's you there, Stephen Bradbury.
And I've gone, oh, we're about to go do the podcast with him.
And my girlfriend goes, oh, which one?
So anyway, welcome back to the little Olympics club.
Yeah.
Well, do you know how hard it is to spend even, like that was the first time I'd met
Steve Bradbury.
Like it was so hard to not just make Bradbury references.
Yeah, yeah.
And I know he's heard it a million times.
And I did one today and that was me like really being disciplined
and behaving myself because there were so many moments that, you know,
I just wanted to rip out some Bradbury calls.
But he takes it really well and, you know, he wears a ring that has diamonds
like in the shape of the Olympics, the Olympic ring.
Oh.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, he's blinging it.
He's a bit of a different cat, I think, as well.
Yeah.
He's had a bit of a change of direction, though,
because he's always kind of prided himself on the Frosted Tips,
but they're gone.
I don't know if you noticed that this morning.
He's no longer rocking the Frosted Tips, which is a bit of a concern.
It's like the day that Brett Lee no longer had the Frosted Tips.
It's tough to deal with this as a sports slash Frosted Tips fan.
Who is out there still rocking the Frosted Tips, though?
Like, if you're still clinging onto that, good on you,
because that's, I mean, that's got to be a tough...
You've got to get opposition from at least one person a day
walking down the street with the Frosted Tips.
Here's a bit of trivia.
Here's a little bit of trivia.
Here's a bit of cross Bradbury slash Chan man trivia.
Oh, I love where this is going.
He, in my days as a book designer,
I designed Stephen Bradbury's autobiography.
Really?
Yeah.
Cover and insides.
What's the name of it?
Did it have a pun title?
Last Man Standing.
Oh, okay.
See, that's an interesting story and all, but just because of wanted to piggyback off,
I thought this was going to be a story about the time you had frosted tips.
I was so excited into the territory we were heading towards. Well, here's the thing.
So, I did that. So, I's the thing. So I did that.
So I ended up reading his book and all that sort of stuff.
And then I saw him.
He came in to Spleen.
I co-run on Monday nights comedy at Spleen.
And he walked in one day and I just went up to him and went,
oh, hey, Stephen Bradbury, this is going to be weird,
but I designed your autobiography.
And he just goes, he just looked at me extremely blankly
and then went, is there comedy on here tonight?
And I went, yes.
And he went, oh, and walked out.
Big fan.
Big fan, Stephen Bradbury.
Well, you know why he ended up there that night?
All of the other Monday night comedy nights had been cancelled.
True story.
So, of course, it was the only potential option.
There's only really one Stephen Bradbury joke that can be dressed up with slightly different
nouns around.
Sports jokes.
I don't quite get them, but I'm having a good time.
I can get the gist and I sort of follow along.
Just nod knowingly.
Just nod knowingly.
Humour.
Just pick up the tone and you can work out what the joke is.
Now we're recording in your luxurious hotel room at the moment, Sam.
Yeah, I use podcasts to lure men back to my hotel room.
We came in here.
I thought maybe you used podcasts to double your ratings of Wake Up
because we watched it this morning.
Hey, I'm allowed to make those jokes.
Oh, sorry.
Well, we came in here and the TV was on and you said,
oh, just turn this off so we can podcast.
And you've just muted it.
So we're sitting here watching Studio 10.
Have you got a ratings box on top of it?
Always the company man.
That bar is about the size of a ratings box, so you can't be too careful.
That's why I've left it on just in case it's picking up some sort of signal.
We're currently watching John O'Connor do an infomercial,
which is we should be tools down for this, let's be honest.
A bit of respect for a great Australian broadcaster.
Yeah, is this because Channel 10 have put you up in this hotel room, you have to have
the TV on Channel 10?
Yeah, you can't change it.
You can't turn it off.
See the remote control over here, if you look closely, all the buttons just say 10.
There's just one button that says 10, yeah.
And if you turn it over, there's one that says 1 HD.
You just have to sleep in the, try and sleep under the cooling glow of future armour
and Law and Order SVU.
Some sort of advanced nightlife.
Now, we're in here because my initial idea was,
I was, now you're working at the project later on today,
and I'm doing a little bit of fill-in writing for the project today,
and I thought, you know what?
Let's hit the two birds with one stone.
We'll go in there a little bit early before our day starts,
sneak in there. I said to you, hey, what? Let's hit the two birds with one stone. We'll go in there a little bit early before our day starts, sneak in there.
I said to you, hey, what do you think about this idea?
You went, well, obviously, talk to the people that run Channel 10 first about it,
which hadn't sort of crossed my mind.
Me and my boring protocol.
Trying to do things by the book.
We can't all break into Southern Cross-Oscar and keep recording.
Oh, no.
Is there public knowledge? It sort of is, yeah.
Yeah.
Cancel their swipe cards.
Yeah, as long as Slater and Gordon don't listen to this podcast,
I think we're cool.
Here's a little footnote.
If you want to hear the full story of that,
listen to the episode of Walking the Room that we were on
where we discussed at length our departure from commercial radio
on a podcast that's not our own and not in the same country as us.
Our pod squatting.
But, yeah, so that's how I think.
I think, oh, first in best dress, you know, as long as you can get in there, you can do
whatever you want, apparently.
So I thought, great, I ran by you.
You said, oh, talk to someone.
So I went, oh, okay, yeah, sure, of course.
And then I talked to someone who's definitely not in charge.
Yeah.
Just went, what do you reckon if I did this?
And they go, well, yeah, you should probably talk to someone in charge.
But you know what?
You'll probably get away with it if you did it.
So, look, as long as you go in there and if anyone comes in, blame it all on Sam and get him to carry it.
So you're chatting to Charlie then?
And then he goes, and then obviously we didn't have this conversation.
And I'm like, there's enough alarm bells in that conversation
that it makes me think maybe we shouldn't be doing this.
There's nothing untoward going here.
It's just recording a lighthearted podcast.
What's this hotel's policy?
You know, some, especially overseas hotels,
will sting you if you have an extra guest in overnight.
Is there going to be some kind of sneaky podcasting fee
tacked onto the end when you try and check out?
I don't know, like a corkage fee.
They did ask me if I wanted a second swipe card I don't know I said no like I'm not that popular do you want one of the rooms with a recording
studio in it because we can offer you one of them I think already the Como Hotel are
distancing themselves from the podcast and the content and concluded in it just to be
safe well um yeah I plug in the Como hotel a lot for someone that's put no financial
stake into this we've said their name so many times well i like i like the idea that um if we'd
done it at channel 10 at the project and then someone walked in and busted us like a how much
trouble you can really get in but but b maybe because it's that quiet period between christmas
and new year at the moment maybe all of a sudden the lead stories, podcasters break into Channel 10.
And then all of a sudden we're leading on the story
and it's like, you know, how do you feel?
And us just going, can we put this on IMDb?
I do find that funny when you pick up the newspaper
in between like Christmas, New Year,
because it is such a quiet time of year
and the newspaper's like a quarter the size that it is
because a lot of...
And it's just the best of.
Is crime and natural disasters just taking a break?
Like that everything seems to go, nah, just chilling out with the family.
Yeah, they just throw in – and TV's guilty of it as well.
Like it's classic time of the year to just reel out a best of.
I'm surprised you guys are even here in the flesh.
You know, you could have –
Yeah, no, we had exactly this conversation last year,
but we lost the recording, so we're just going to do it again.
Oh, right. Well, this episode will double as a the recording, so we're just going to do it again. Oh, right.
Well, this episode will double as a best of, so you're welcome.
Yeah, yeah.
I felt for a long time, you know, that summer TV gets the rappers being like, oh, it's when
they just put on all this shit that they couldn't fit in the rest of the year.
I, for the longest time, I much prefer summer TV over regular TV.
Yeah.
That's when the good shit comes out, I reckon.
Yeah.
That's when, like...
What are your favourites?
Oh, you know what I'm loving at the moment?
Other than studio TV.
And you'll enjoy this.
This is on brand with you.
Yeah.
On Channel 11, Come Date With Me.
Oh, yeah.
Man, it's great.
It's good stuff.
It's one of those ones where, so one girl, five guys come in and she cooks dinner for
them, and then she picks, at the end of one episode she picks, she votes one guy out and then the rest of the week is her going on dates
with each of the guys.
Yeah, does it have a makeover episode?
Because they're always my favourite.
They are great.
On the dating show.
There's no makeover.
Someone who was clearly attractive beforehand takes their glasses off or something to that
effect and it's like, oh, what an extreme makeover.
Yeah, teen movie style.
Yeah.
But it's great because it's rare because it's not like The Bachelor is like one guy for the whole season.
This is like Come Date With Me is you watch one episode and then the next you have to then to see the end you have to watch the next four.
So it's a week-long investment.
It's an investment, yeah.
And it's got a great thing of snarky narrator where like, you know, they'll be talking to a guy and he's going,
yeah, you know, I think she's going to be a nice girl and, you know, I think she'll
really like me and we'll get along.
And then the narrator comes in and goes, yeah, probably not if you're wearing that shirt,
buddy.
But it's like this guy, the security of sitting in his little sound booth a million miles
away from any of the action, just getting to rip the piss out of every contestant.
Sounds like a great gig.
Yeah, it's great.
Has it got the Wipeout commentator on it?
You know Wipeout when there's someone
headbutting, going face first
into a giant foam mountain
and it's like, oh, it looks like someone
face planted over here. It's like, we got it.
I don't know if we need it anymore.
They need to go full funniest
home videos with it. Do you want to go out with me?
No.
You mentioned The Bachelor.
I really love The Bachelor.
Me too.
I'm just saying that to Channel 10 allegiances.
Oh, my God.
Is this what it's going to be like now?
Every passing reference to it.
And it's coming back for a second series in a couple of months.
You can still catch the episodes on 10 Play.
Can I say an earpiece in your ear?
Are you being fed this?
Have I mentioned
Sochi Olympics
I don't think I've got
my credits away
it's one per 10 minutes
I loved The Bachelor
and I met the guy
Tim who was The Bachelor
he is The Bachelor
well no longer The Bachelor
they're together
I met him at
Melbourne Cup
and then they were
over at Manly
where we do
Wake Up
at the beach there
and he was on the show.
This was after the series.
What channel is Wake Up on?
Channel 10.
6.30 weekdays.
And he was on with Anna, the girl who won.
And everyone was kind of speculating, are they together,
are they not together?
So they finished their interview and I was waiting to get a cab
to go back to the city but it was raining so I couldn't get a cab.
And they had a chauffeured Mercedes.
And because I'd met him, I said a quick hello.
And then they invited me into the chauffeured Mercedes.
So it's me, the bachelor, the bachelor girl winner,
and some Greek driver of the Mercedes.
It was lovely, mind you.
And then I thought, well, I'm going to get the intel here.
I'm going to get, like, I never saw myself as a gossip hound,
but I'm going to be able to sort of say whether or not they're really on.
So as I'm chatting away with them about, oh, yes, what are you guys up to?
I'm like sneaking looks behind me and their hands are on each other's knees.
There was a hair playing going on.
So unless they were really committed to the act and they thought,
now we've got a full Sam for this 30-minute cab ride, they are actually on.
This to me sounds like it's like there's a reveal at the end of this
where it's like a classic con movie where just because you're there,
this is all part of trying to – because you're the company man.
Like the Truman Show kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone's in on it, even the driver.
He's probably the executive producer of the show.
Well, just what you said at the start there when you described him,
the Greek driver sounds like a great show
That Channel 10 could have on
I don't know what
I don't know what
It's just like
He's got a cab
And there's like 10 people
Competing to be in his cab
I know
All of a sudden
There's a souvlaki drive-thru
At Officeworks
Well
How busy is Nick Gianopoulos
At the moment?
I like the idea of
The Bachelor coming back
With the same people
So do I Exc exclusive to 10.
Same people, so it's the same guy, it's the same girl, they're hooked up.
So it's like, oh, so they lived happily ever after.
Or did they?
And so she's effectively the carryover champion.
So she's there and they just bring another 20 girls in.
That's great.
He just starts going off and getting on with them, getting in bikinis and whatever.
Or you could bring in
new guys. So then
you do the opposite. Multi-ball.
He's the carryover chair.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sausage Inc. Get them involved
in sausage.
And then it's like they've got a battle for her.
How much does he really want her? I kind of prefer Tim being
kept around kind of like the Queen Bee
where he's just
trotted out just year after year yeah it just
keeps going until he's like 85 years old he's not even a desirable prospect anymore but still all
these like young girls coming in by young you mean like mid-70s no i reckon the girls stay the same
age and he goes from the island yeah yeah yeah i have this theory like how did they get the girls
to be on that show i have this theory that one night
like on a Friday night
they just went to
the Ivy Pool bar
with a massive net
and just captured
15 of them
and then chucked them
in that mansion
and that's how it happened
I know
I do love The Bachelor
I particularly like
The Bachelor
the US edition
and I was so looking
forward to The Bachelor
this
the Australian edition
but I mean
someone
whoever it was
newspapers and media
just spiked it
like a day in
by going by the way he's a stripper and so for the rest of the show all I could watch is
like them going oh my god he's just perfect in every way and it's like except for he's a stripper
like every everything anyone ever said all I heard was in brackets apart from he's a stripper yeah so
it's sort of I don't know if everyone's that Didn't he say that he only stripped once? He wasn't like a long-term,
like it wasn't a Jamie Durie type of arrangement
where he was like, that was his bread and butter.
Watch out, Channel 10 speaking here.
So defensive.
What's that?
I'm going to have to ask you guys to leave.
The off-brand alarm started sounding.
Did we mention we've got a show up on Channel 9?
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
We need to get back to the reality shows, the mean reality shows.
Your Joe Millionaires, your reality shows where people are competing
for something and there's a secret that us, the audience, know
that the contestants don't and then the end happens
and they're all fucked over and miserable.
Something about Miriam.
We need to bring those back.
When is that going to have – because The Bachelor was on –
there's a lot of them now that are coming back
and they're going through a big revival.
It's only a matter of time until we get the prank reality shows back
because they're the best.
Was it MasterChef that changed that, like that whole feel good?
The nice thing, yeah.
And that was when I remember –
I agree.
We are a bit nice at the moment. Not Channel 10, but every other
commercial network. It's going to swing
back around. So Channel 10 aren't nice? Is that what you were saying?
Sam Mack, Channel 10 isn't nice.
You're taking my words out of context
there. I'm a company man. Or maybe
they're already doing it. Maybe Wake Up is like part
of that where it's like, you know, Sam Mack thinks
he's got this great job on Breakfast TV
and then the show gets pulled
and you have to give all the money back that you've earned.
Ah, sucked in. We were all in on it the whole
time. He had no idea.
Maybe the end of the prank is Channel 10 hire
two very successful podcasters
to come into his hotel room,
get a podcast out of him and then
throw him out the window.
You're joking, right?
Yeah, we're joking.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll tell you what, don't message with sausage ink.
That's also.
You do a lot of YouTube stuff as well.
I wanted to bring this up because a couple of weeks ago I was at my computer.
I was eating lunch and I was on YouTube and it came up with this thing saying that you can now do live streaming.
And it was literally just a big thing saying that you can now do live streaming and it
was literally just a big thing saying push this button to go live now.
I was like, oh, imagine if I bumped that accidentally and it was just me eating my lunch on YouTube.
How bad would that be?
And then I was like, oh, that's a great idea.
I'm going to do that.
So I sent out a tweet and like the next day I did this whole thing where I ate my lunch
live on YouTube.
I live streamed me eating a sandwich.
So did people have input?
Like could they choose what sort of sandwich you had?
Yeah, people voted.
I had a few people saying if you – because I was going to have a chicken –
Oh, man, where was I on this day?
I'm going to do it again.
I could have voted what you ate.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I was saying I was going to make a chicken sandwich
and then a few people said as a vegetarian, if you're eating meat, I won't tune in. And I was like I was going to make a chicken sandwich, and then a few people said, as a vegetarian, if you're eating meat,
I won't tune in.
And I was like, oh.
But that's good, though, because you've got a controversial hook into the show.
Media outlets are going to be interested.
Has Tommy gone too far eating a chicken live, live streaming it?
Well, that was the thing.
Animal activists are outraged.
That's a good headline as well.
Tommy eats a chicken live.
I've watched that.
Tommy eats a chicken live can very closely like Tommy Eats a Chicken Live. I'd watch that. Tommy Eats a Chicken Live can very closely turn into
Tommy Eats a Live Chicken Live.
Tommy Eats a Live Chicken pre-recorded.
And you'd get animal rights activists, like little soundbites
of them just saying that this is not on,
like this should not be going live stream
because then you get a bit of ground soil, you get a momentum.
You get Sam Max in to see what Stephen Bradbury thinks.
So it kind of very quickly went from this, oh, how fun and dumb and simple will
this be, to like, I was suddenly stressing about it, because I was like, oh, there's
not much stuff that I could think to cook for myself that's not, like meat is in everything
that I know how to prepare.
So three people said that to me, and then I put that on Twitter, and then friend of
the show, Nick Cody, went,
if you don't eat meat because of a vegetarian,
then I'm not going to watch.
And I was like, oh, how do you keep everyone happy?
So anyway, I put it to a vote and I ended up,
I settled with a chicken sandwich and I poached a chicken sandwich.
I didn't poach the sandwich, I poached the chicken.
Did you make the sandwich as part of the stream
or the sandwich was prepared, ready to go?
No, I thought I'll...
And did you talk during it or did you just literally
just eat it? Again, this was all up for
I kind of thought I'll leave this
open to the audience. My plan was I'd sort of talk
at the start to kind of introduce the broadcast
and then I'd just get down to the brass tacks
and just start eating and not kind of
not, you know, so. There's a lot of thought being put
into something that 10 people watch.
But enough about wake up.
Oh!
No! You know what? put into something that 10 people watch. Yeah, yeah. But enough about wake up. No.
You know what?
I thought of it,
and then I thought,
no, I'm not going to do it,
but thank you.
Thank you.
If you want to make any of those gags,
we get the position you're in,
just wink at one of us,
and we'll take the slack.
Yeah, and we'll make a joke about something
that we can't even get on
that's got 10 viewers.
So back to the sandwich thing.
Yes, please.
So will it happen again?
Like is it something that you
See this is what I want to get to
Because it was
So I started doing it
And it was good
Like it was good
Because you can
You know they had the comments going on YouTube
There were a lot of people chiming in
That was very funny
And I
You can see how many people are watching at any one time
And I
That must be depressing for you
I peaked at 29 I was trying to get over the line to 30 people are watching it any one time. That must be depressing for you.
I peaked at 29.
I was trying to get over the line to 30, but 29, like that's... For a first
episode.
And also
relative to how shit of
an event it is, that's massive.
That's like the equivalent of if I wrote
and put some effort into making a short film.
That's like if a million people watched that short
film. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like scale it into how shit of an event that it is.
So I was trying to get over the line to 30 people.
I didn't quite get there, but I will do it again.
Have you got a name for it?
Like is it like sandwich time?
It was just Tommy Daslow eats lunch.
But what if like the network put pressure on you?
Like can you do breakfast?
Like, you know, we want to have a strong end to the day.
What kind of network?
Any network that my friends happen to work for?
A pretty adventurous one who loves new talent, guys.
Now, when you say this, are you saying this seriously or not seriously?
Ronnie Chang has put in a request to be in one.
So I was thinking maybe I'll cook and I'll talk and then Ronnie will eat in silence.
But anyway, the point being, so this is still on YouTube.
You can still see the log of it.
It's still there.
I don't know though.
Like I don't know about watching it.
Like I think live, you've got to experience something like that live.
Yeah, I know.
It's not quite the same.
It spoils.
I know how it ends.
Like you finish the sandwich.
But it was very interesting.
If I'm watching it live, something could happen.
Yeah.
You could choke.
Yeah.
That's what we're all hoping for.
Well, I got a lot of feedback something could happen. You could choke. That's what we're all hoping for.
Well, I got a lot of feedback on how disgusting my table manners are.
At one point, I found a dog hair in the sandwich,
and then I just kept eating, which really offended someone.
But I had a few people going.
The mix of people was people going,
I can't believe I just sat and watched all of that.
And then other people going, oh, I had to miss it.
I'm so cut.
Like, are you really?
But anyway, so.
What were you doing that was so important you couldn't watch this, Carl? I don't know.
Probably eating lunch.
I have no idea.
Live streaming.
You're doing your own off-shoot show, are you, mate?
Carl was live streaming himself taking a shit.
We were in direct competition.
30 viewers.
31 viewers.
Well, see, this is the thing.
So the next day, someone sent me a thing and said,
oh, is this what inspired you to do your lunch thing?
And it was a clip of Macaulay Culkin live streaming himself
eating a slice of pizza.
And he peaked at 27 viewers.
So in the realm of eating things live on the internet.
Please tell me he did the face at the end of it.
Visual.
You know the face, though, everyone. In the realm of eating things live on the internet... Please tell me he did the face at the end of it. Visual. In the realm of eating things on the internet,
I have more
pull than Macaulay Culkin.
That's a good feeling.
It's a very specific, pointless avenue,
but it's something.
You've got to start from somewhere.
I mean, isn't that crazy?
So have you got any side projects, Carl, or is it just
Tommy who's actually doing something with his life.
Do we count that as him doing something with his life?
He's just mentioned before he's going into an office after this
to do proper paid work.
I was just thinking for a second, unfortunately, yeah,
I don't have enough creativity to think of me eating lunch
and recording it.
I want to ask this about you, Sam.
Yeah.
Now, you go by the name Sam Mack, entertainment-wise.
You sound a bit more like a DJ than a presenter to me.
Well, I started as a DJ.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Well, your full name is Sam McMillan.
Yeah.
That is the same name as Sammy J's real name.
Yeah.
Sam McMillan.
Yeah.
What's wrong with the name Sam McMillan?
Is Sammy J's real name?
Yeah.
Sam McMillan?
Yeah. What's wrong with the name Sam McMillan?
Well, you know, actually a radio boss suggested that I change it to Sam Mac.
And this was when I was probably about 20, 21.
I'd just started in radio.
And, you know, you do what they say at that point.
So I changed my name.
Thankfully, I didn't get one of those, you know, the lab rat or one of those things.
Yeah, the lab rat or one of those things lovely guy but like you know it's tough to be 60 years old still having a long media
career and being oh we're gonna cross to the lab rat in Syria to see what's happening yeah turbo
turbo's still hanging on there yeah uh good guys but yeah you're stuck with those names and that
was that was a thing um so I've committed to this to be Sam Mac. And then obviously within a few years, I became a global brand.
And you can't sort of go back.
It's just confusing.
It muddies the waters for your audience.
Once you bought the domain name.
Yeah.
So I just stuck with it.
Plus it's shorter, it's simpler.
But on the Sammy J thing, I once got a friend asked me at the last minute,
can I come to this charity thing?
There was this charity painting thing where so-called celebrities would go there,
paint, and the paintings get auctioned for a charity.
I'd love to see an event like that that actually does say featuring so-called celebrities.
That would be so good to do.
Just to give you the caliber, one of the other guys was Nacho Pop.
I'm not sure if you know him.
What's Nacho Pop?
He's a dancer, isn't he?
He was on So You Think You Can Dance. He was like the dance
instructor. Nice guy, again, but
another name that's going to be tough to have when you're
in your 60s. Born Sam McMillan.
Yeah, Sam McMillan.
Red Fu, all the greats were born Sam McMillan.
It's like a reverse
Alan Smithy.
So I went there and they
got me to
do the painting or whatever
and the lady who was organising it was not my friend.
My friend just organised me.
She said, oh, look, Sam Mac's going to come.
This is his email.
So my email is MrSamMcMillan at Hotmail.
I know you gave your phone number out on the show the other day.
If people want to send me emails, bring it on.
There's plenty of spam in there already.
In fact, I go by the name SpamMac sometimes.
There's plenty of spam in there already.
In fact, I go by the name Spam Mac sometimes.
So I go there and the organiser says,
Oh, Sam, so glad you could come at short notice.
This is brilliant.
And I saw the artwork for your album and it's really cool.
And there is actually a piano.
You don't have to, but if you feel like it, I think it could be a really nice way.
Because she goes on this monologue.
It's a really nice way to end the event at the end of the thing.
And I can play piano.
I actually can.
But I can't do like parody, like that style of parody song,
Sammy J style.
You can do a parody of someone good playing the piano.
But I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was a different Sam McMillan.
So I just did the painting and then left pretty quickly after my painting
and avoided the awkwardness of her saying it.
Now to do one of his songs, where's Randy?
Are you going to do one of his songs?
There he is, Sam McMillan, everyone.
There he is.
But yeah, it's happened a couple of times where people,
because it's the same name, I think we're both roughly the same age.
But I don't get it that the organisers know your real name
better than your stage name.
I think it's because I gave the email address that I gave,
reiterating MrSamMcMillan at Hotmail.com.
The only MrSamMcMillan at Hotmail.com.
I'm really lonely, I'm bored.
Just please send anything.
Well, it's like there's two Dave Callens that do comedy.
One does one a bit more prominently than the other.
There's a David Callen.
Yeah, there was a year where they were both at the comedy festival.
You guys have both got pretty unique names.
So you've got some cut through.
Mine by accident.
He's by choice.
By design, yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, let's talk about this again.
I don't know if we've brought this up on the show before or not.
That's the tough thing when you go on a podcast that you guys have these running things.
I listen to the podcast not every episode.
I know you watch every episode of Wake Up,
but I don't know every single reference.
So can you give me the 10-second version?
I have a different name.
Which is?
Tommy Allsop.
He changed it to Tommy Daslo.
Reason unknown still.
We still haven't gotten to the bottom of that.
Who's the Daslo in the family?
There isn't one.
Why did you like the name Daslo?
I think that was a pizza maker a few generations back.
Why Dassolo?
It's just a word I thought up.
And is that you changed it by deep pot or just for comedy purposes?
No, no, no, it's just for comedy purposes, yeah.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
For comedy purposes.
Well, I mean, we're all having a good laugh about it right now,
so you could argue comedy purposes is correct.
It works, absolutely.
Yeah.
If only I could have known then what I know now.
How much time and effort I would have saved myself.
We've just had Christmas.
This is coming in after.
We're actually recording on New Year's Eve.
No, no.
It's the 7th of January.
I mean the 7th of January.
As far as anyone is concerned.
All right.
Let's go with that.
What about all the stuff about watching Wake Up this morning?
Because obviously everyone listening watches Wake Up as well, right?
It's embarrassing because it clearly got axed on January 2.
No!
No!
What about my future evolve?
What about me?
I loved January the 31st episode so much.
I mean, December the 31st episode so much
that this morning on January 7th
I astral projected back in time
just so I could relive that moment again.
Got away with it.
That's three years worth of podcasting experience.
Really tied up some loose ends there.
Any questions?
So, we've just had Christmas.
Let's say in the last week or two.
Is that what you do on the show?
You point out all the big holidays that happen over the year.
That is fascinating stuff.
We don't have enough content.
Easter, just a few months away.
Have you got the calendars out playing along at home?
We've obviously, you know, Easter decorations have gone up early in your hotel room already.
Yeah.
Earlier every year.
This is an advent podcast.
You get a new gag every day.
And we get chocolate, which is why we keep doing this podcast.
Now, I went to see my folks.
I went down to the beach this year.
Mummy and Daddy have a beach house.
Oh, nice. to see my folks. I went down to the beach this year. Mummy and Daddy have a beach house. Oh, nice.
Relatable.
Yeah.
You'll never work on Channel 10.
So, I went and saw them.
Now, I did drag my girlfriend down there.
My dad did a thing where he's from the country, so I come from Maribor,
which, again, has been brought up on the show once or twice.
So it's a small country town.
Now, I think there's such a fine line between being racist
and just not knowing enough about how to talk with big city people maybe,
with normal people,
because my folks don't even live in Maribor.
Maribor's got 8,000 people.
They live 15 minutes out of Maribor.
So they'll point to Maribor on the horizon and go, 8,000 people. They live 15 minutes out of Maribor.
They'll point to Maribor on the horizon and go, should we go into the big smoke
today?
With its Safeway
and its shop.
My dad is a bit...
To me,
he sort of talks normal and he's a good man
but then once...
Your senses get heightened once your girlfriend gets
brought into the mix because my girlfriend's brought up know, brought up in a, you know,
queue and Baldwin and things like that
and now she gets brought into this midst.
Did you give her any pre-warnings of what she might...
Oh, they've met before and they've had little bits and bits.
This is just another little bit of bits and pieces
that sort of my dad has put on the table this time
at Christmas dinner.
He just decided...
I hope I'm not going to.
Can I, for newer listeners,
can I give some previous installments of your dad?
Sure.
Because he's a big fan of, what is it, the Italians?
The Italians.
Yeah.
The Italians.
Yeah.
Which, again, is a question where I'm like,
is that racist or just a mispronunciation of things?
It's just old school.
It's just old school.
It's just a very old generational thing.
Because I've got an Irish background.
I think my dad is very similar by the sounds of it to your dad.
He'll go,
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
old mate, yeah, Bruce Lee over here.
Old mate Bruce Lee.
But he'll actually go over to Len.
This is one of our Chinese neighbours.
And he'll go over to Len
and he'll say,
hey, Bruce Lee.
And Len will give him stuff about,
you know,
where's the IRA today?
Oh, they're busy.
They're both cool with it.
So does that mean
that I'm the stick in the mud
by standing there thinking
this is a really racially
insensitive conversation?
I don't know the answer to that.
Is it a generational thing?
I guess a lot of it
comes down to intent.
Yes, yes.
And that's a very good point
and that's the way my dad is because he'll also
say, like, the Chinese instead of the Chinese.
And that sounds
racist, but it's like leaving a letter
off. Like, it's what's the
intent of the typo?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've lost a consonant. You're not necessarily
racist. Yeah. As a fan of the English language,
I'm offended in my ears.
Yeah, as a fan of Whiteout, I'm
complimented.
So, he which I'm offended in my ears. Yeah, as a fan of Whiteout, I'm complimented. So he started, at the dinner table,
he decided to start getting into a bit of world history.
Great, safe territory.
Yeah, yeah, especially when you don't know anything, but anyway.
And how are you?
Because I think part of, like,
once you've been with a partner for a little while,
I think you kind of relax on the insanity of your parents a little bit.
Once your partner's seen it a few times, you kind of go,
well, you're clearly in for the long haul.
You've seen what I imagine to be the worst of it,
and you haven't run a mile.
So then it sort of becomes fun to encourage it a little bit.
Do you know what I mean?
Whereas when it's a first meeting,
you're doing everything you can to kind of back the conversation.
I'd like to be in that place.
I'm still not.
Right, so you're still trying to stop the train.
Okay, right, right, right.
Because my dad, your dad would be like this, I reckon.
You know, they're just way into overly long stories about everything.
So you're kind of anchoring the show.
You're kind of like just guiding traffic.
You're like, no, that's not a safe area.
Let's talk about something a lot safer.
No, no, no.
Hey, have you guys been watching Studio 10?
Safe ground.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm more like, I just sit there and just, I'm more the Red Diamonds.
I've just got a big gong behind me.
Gong?
That's racially insane.
There you go.
Big mistake, buddy.
I love a bit of Chinese music.
That's great.
But that's what he does.
He'll go.
Mr. Summers.
Sorry, I just wanted to do it.
It's the only chance I was going to get. Mr. Chandler. Mr. Summers. Sorry, I just wanted to do it. It's the only chance I was going to get.
Mr. Chandler.
Mr. Chandler.
Sounds much better through headphones.
You're welcome.
Wow.
I'm surprised you're allowed to watch that,
given that it's on a computer network.
And he's a bit like that in terms of he'll,
anything Asian, he'll immediately go,
you know when the Chinese did that.
And it's like, no, that's the Japanese.
Hiroshima wasn't in China.
So Chinese is just anything Asian.
So worst of all, he's holding the Chinese responsible for Gangnam Style.
That is not fair, Mr Chandler.
Yeah, they sort of get everything bad, but also they do get everything good.
Like they've done everything that's happened in the East.
Once I got back from Nam, fighting the Chinese,
and then he started doing that stuff.
I'm like, oh, Dad, don't be doing this.
And then he starts talking about Chairman Mao,
but he doesn't call him Chairman Mao.
He calls him Chairman Mayo.
Putting an Aussie twist on it.
Great.
Yeah, Chairman Mayo,
who obviously ordered the strike on chicken and avocado sandwiches.
During Tommy's hit TV show,
Tommy eats a chicken sandwich.
Yes.
Chairman Mayo, Admiral Potato Salad.
The whole gang's here.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, man.
And he was...
And I just started laughing going,
oh, what Chairman Mayo?
Really?
You can't say...
It's Chairman Mao.
And then he's like...
He goes, look, mate,
that's what we were taught in Maryborough High School.
So that's...
I'm like, all right, case dismissed.
No longer your fault, apparently.
The font of all knowledge that is MHS.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Great. The poor old high school that is MHS. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great.
The poor old high school that was built 100% of asbestos.
Have you guys ever had family members on the podcast?
Have you ever unleashed them for a special episode?
No, no.
I don't think.
I mean, we've talked about like.
You'd have to have the senses on standby for that one, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
It wouldn't be live on YouTube, that's for sure.
Jesus.
Well, it certainly wouldn't be broadcast into China.
I think they quite rightly have strict YouTube sort of rules over there.
What about this for a suggestion for a future episode?
Please.
You guys aren't in it.
This is not me phasing you out of the podcast.
You've been told that a few times before, haven't you?
Yeah, I didn't like this idea.
Less of you.
No, you get your folks to do a whole episode
and you don't give them any rules other than they need to talk for one hour
and you just see where it goes.
I guarantee listeners would love it.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah, or our girlfriends.
Our girlfriends kind of come up more than our parents.
I think there'd be more satisfaction in having our girlfriends.
But your girlfriends might actually be really good.
Like, they might put on a really great, insightful...
That would be better.
That's the fear, is that as soon as you do something, like,
against type that you think will be kind of a funny shit thing,
yeah, that it'll be more popular.
Like, we haven't talked about this yet.
A couple of weeks ago, the episode of Rad Dad that we did,
when we had Tom Ballard and Harley Breen on,
and it was, you know, we were just all being silly and mucking around and fluffing lines and I just left it all in in the edit because I thought it sounded funny
and there was a bit of a, you know, mixing it up a bit and then all the feedback we got
was, oh, jeez, I normally hate that Rad Dad shit but it was good this week.
The one with the least amount of effort that's ever been put into it and people were like,
oh, finally, you've worked out the formula.
Just stop trying, guys.
Like, oh, no.
All those scripts that we've slaved over and retakes we've done.
That is a sweet intro to Australia's longest running serial.
Yep.
We're going to take a quick break now.
Let's hear from Rad Dad.
It's Rad Dad here and I'm here to say I'm just ratting around in the Rad Dad way. Thank you, Charlie. That is Dad in town. Rad Dad.
Thank you, Charlie.
Tonight on the Metro Whip, I'm coming to you from the Tarzo Convention in Melbourne.
I'll be honest, I'm only here because there's not much going on tonight.
I don't know what sort of loser would be seen dead at a Tarzo Convention.
Am I right, guys?
Wow!
A limited edition Muggsy Bogues Space Jam Tarzo? Did I die in a billabong shop explosion and go to heaven?
Rad Dad, seriously, I'll pay for a babysitter out of my own money.
Can I please just go home?
Hang on, guys.
Hang on.
Sorry, Charlie.
I found a real sad sack wearing Crocs and holding 20 folders full of Tarzos.
Excuse me, sir.
Would you like to be on live TV?
Would I?
Oh, the answer's yes, by the way.
Oh, God, no. like to be on live TV? Would I? Oh, the answer's yes, by the way. Oh, God, no.
What's your name, pal?
Well, my name's Rad Dad and I'm here to say
I'm just collecting Tarzos in a Rad Dad way.
Great.
Well, that's knocked over two of my questions.
What about you, little girl?
I'm Jenny.
Any foster parents that are watching this
who dream of welcoming an adorable young girl into their family,
I am more than available.
Ah, okay.
Hey, what time is it?
Well, we're on the Metro Whip, right at the end of the project.
So it's about 7.29.
Ah, shit.
We're missing the nanny.
Rad Dad, that was on five years ago.
And 20 years ago.
I can't believe I've missed it, Jenny.
Can you Google it and see if Mr Sheffield and Miss Fine ever got together?
Okay, well, this is a disaster.
We're going to cross back to you guys in the studio.
Come on, Jenny.
We're going to beat the traffic and get to rollerblade practice by 8 p.m.
Otherwise, I don't get my choice of fluoro helmets.
Come on, Bluey.
Rad Dad.
Rad Dad is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
And we're back.
Yeah, that'll be...
We've worked a bit hard on that one,
so that'll probably be one that people hate.
Have we worked hard on that one?
Yeah, no.
So maybe people will love it.
Yeah, okay.
Let's try and put an extra shit performance into it.
Yeah, we're back.
Here's a couple of overheard things I heard this week
I just thought I'd share with you guys.
Something in the last week,
I overheard on the train a guy saying
these two sentences.
He said,
like a teenage guy said,
look mate,
you fuck your mum.
And then second line,
yeah,
well you can suck
my motherfucking dick.
But that means
that you fucked your mum
as well.
Yeah.
With your dick.
This all checks out.
Yeah.
I don't think that checks out at all. It means they both fucked their mum as well. Yeah. With your dad. This all checks out. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't think that checks out at all.
It means they both fucked their mum.
And as this happened, you're like documenting this in your iPhone, are you?
I don't know who's the weirdo in this situation.
Dear mum, just heard some great profanity on the train.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I went to see the Melvins at the Hi-Fi Bar, what, two weeks ago now,
and I was waiting outside, and I just heard this guy go,
hey, hey, hey, yeah, you, hey, and I just kept ignoring it as long as I could,
because you know it's never going to be great.
It's never going to be, you know, here's 50 bucks.
Sweet prank, though. though thanks Mike Whitney
not so topical reference
hey get off me
10 years I am
in fact stay there
pull those jeans up
a little higher
so he goes
hey and I finally
alright this is not
anyone but me
and this is you know
it's like 10.30 at night
I turn around
and there's this guy
who couldn't look like
any more haggard
of a hobo
looking guy
he's pointing at a pile of vomit at his feet and then goes hey mate around and there's this guy who couldn't look like any more haggard of a hobo looking guy.
He's pointing at a pile of vomit at his feet and then goes, hey mate, that's what Lord of the Fries looks like on the way out.
But I love how much effort he's gone into making sure that I don't miss that.
Like he's given me eight to ten haze.
Yeah.
Well, he had his visual payoff, so he's pretty me Eight to ten hey's Yeah Well he had his visual payoff So he was pretty confident
In the material
I thought
I thought it was going to be
The way it was
The way it was heading
Was going to be
Something that we're both
Big fans of
Was him going
Hey hey hey hey hey
That's you
Oh right
Yeah because it really
I was like oh man
This would be
Someone else coming into that
Is great
Yeah
I like the idea that
Maybe like
I'm the first one
Who's bitten
But he's just been Standing next to his spew for like half an hour.
Yeah, it's now solid.
Yeah, yeah.
He's like, oh, these Melbourne fans are uppity.
This is the best comedy spew I've ever done.
He's still there now, weeks later.
Well, that reminds me, the other night I was walking home from a gig
with my girlfriend and we were a little bit drunk.
It was pretty late at night.
It was probably about midnight or so.
And we were going to go get the tram and we were a little bit drunk. It was pretty late at night. It was probably about midnight or so. And we were going to go get the tram
and we were talking about the Mikey,
the ticketing system in Melbourne for the trams.
And I was just saying to my girlfriend,
you know, this Mikey thing, I reckon it's shit.
It's too expensive.
The price has gone up.
It's very expensive now.
And this guy who was like a foot ahead of us
walking along by himself,
he spins around and goes, yeah, yeah, I agree, mate.
And what's with these bloody Indian cab drivers, how they never let you put your iPhone on
their charger in their cab?
What the fuck's that all about?
My dad has a name.
It's Robert Keith Chandler, all right?
So he's just basically piggybacked off a statement of mine that I don't think he even agreed with to begin with,
just to kind of sneak his own agenda in there.
Like how –
So what did you respond?
What did you say?
Did you high-five him?
No, I just went –
Yeah, they're the worst.
I just went, mate, we weren't really talking about that at all.
Like that's pretty off topic.
And he was like, oh, yeah, but, you know, it's fucked, isn't it?
And I was like, yeah.
Anyway, we're just going to into hungry jacks now like it was i just like the image like that he's just
prowling around the streets just and i'd love to know what's what's the biggest leap he's made
yeah in tacking there's some sort of mild annoyance with anything that he sees that
as like an open opportunity yeah will you marry me you know what I'm not married to the idea of fucking Indian cab drivers
bloody chairman Mayo
yeah
you know what else
makes me want to vomit
yeah
those
those drivers
those two guys
could meet each other
and hang out
take their show
on the road
yeah
perfect
hey here's something
all things
we've covered a lot
of Channel 10 stuff
oh not enough
yeah not enough
this is
this is something that's...
I don't know how to feel about it,
but every time I see...
There's a new series of Biggest Loser.
Yes.
That's on TV.
It's coming up.
And they take it to a country town,
and their big idea is this season
to make the whole town lose weight.
Yeah.
Which, you know, it does get me the idea.
Like, that's different.
It took you in?
It took me into watching the next ad, at least.
But they then pump out the statistics where it's like,
they want to lose.
Like, it's like, okay, we want all the town to lose weight.
Like, that's a very vague idea.
That's great.
We understand how that works.
All right.
Sweet.
Awesome.
But then they go, we're going to lose 260,000 kilos from this town.
And all I can think is how much of that is going down the toilet,
like the plumbing system of that small town, don't you think?
Because that's how people lose weight, isn't it?
Yes.
Through the process of going to the toilet.
So there's now, and their aim is to have 260,000 extra kilos of produce
going into their plumbing system,
don't you think?
Well, I shouldn't be saying this, but I've kind of,
through contacts that I have in showbiz,
I've snuck a look at the back end of Channel 10's 2014 programming schedule,
and this is actually, you've kind of uncovered a secret truth here,
is that this is all to set up the second half of the year,
Sam Mack's new vehicle, Shitsville, that he's hosting from underneath Ararat,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles style.
I was the obvious choice to host.
I've been heading in that direction for a long time.
It was the natural progression.
Thank you for leaking it online.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I just couldn't, you know, he's puppy dog eyes.
He's making a vague statement.
And I'm sorry to Sammy Jo who actually wanted to host the show.
Randy just poking out of a giant turd.
Randy the brown puppet.
Yeah, that's actually great because that's the perfect place for Heath,
the puppeteer, of Randy to hide behind.
He can just sit submerged in the shit and have the puppet poking out.
The reboot of Oscar the Grouch in a way.
Randy the Turd.
Yeah, great.
When I saw that taking over the whole town,
my first thought was there has to be at least one really fat guy there
who's not buying into the glitz and glamour of TV,
who's like, no, I'm not doing it.
I'm willing to let down the whole town.
And I want to meet that guy.
I hope he's in a series.
Yeah.
You know what would be great
is if Channel 9 came along
and they have some show
where it's like,
let's put on as much weight
as we can
and they set up camp
in Ararat as well
and then they're just trying to,
so people are losing,
they're trying to recruit people
to eat more.
Oh yeah,
they just,
they don't even have
their own show.
They're just opening up
McDonald's in Ararat.
Just pumping in free sausage sizzles.
Sausage Inc. get involved.
Hey, there is nothing wrong with McCafes.
Chairman Mayo.
We have one of those on our set.
I don't know if you've seen it.
You should watch the show sometime.
Yeah, I love the idea.
Chairman Mayo comes in to Ararat and rules with a greasy fist.
Man McMayo.
Yeah, the chain Man, MacMaya. Yeah.
Yeah, the chain of command of mayonnaise.
Because Channel 10 love their big hype-up event ads for new seasons.
And the one for The Biggest Loser,
for people who haven't seen it,
is it's kind of like the trainers from The Biggest Loser
running through this town.
Yeah, with Katy Perry.
Yeah, Katy.
Roar, I think.
Yeah, that song that is in eye of the tiger bloody ad at
the moment i'm so sick of it already um they're it's so it's the the train is running through a
town and uh they like they they run past a bunch of fat slobs out the front of a cafe and then
magically they're they're transformed into they're wearing gym clothes and like pump and iron
and you know it's like everyone they run past like kind of transforms into some different form of fat person doing exercise but the last one that i love is they run past a group of bikers
like all these guys on their bikes and like huge guys in leather jackets and tats all just looking
at the camera going fuck you michelle bridges and then like magically they're just suddenly on
exercise bikes going yeah like no the ad should be then the commando's got a bullet
in the back of his head.
No real bikey would agree to that scenario.
They are not real bikeys.
Check their bikey credentials.
Check the badges on their jackets.
Yeah, I love that their bikes get replaced with exercise bikes.
Like, ah, this is much better.
I think through hearing the end of the whole underbelly saga,
we know what bikeys do with exercise bikes.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
That is cool, people.
Yeah, they planted a secret Easter egg,
a hint for the end of the season of The Biggest Loser.
Yeah.
Well, I think that's about all we've got time for on this episode,
mainly because I've got ten minutes to get to work.
All right, guys.
Well, that apparently some of us have to go off and earn money
while others fucking go beg in the streets for donations for our YouTube channel.
Maybe you want to have some Lord of the Fries.
Oh, yeah.
Give people something to look at.
I'm keen to see what it looks like on the way in.
Well, guys, that is all the time we have for today on the Little Dumb Dumb Club.
