Hey, mates! Welcome once again into the Little Dumb Dumb Club. My name is Tommy Dasolo. Sitting
opposite me, my co-host, Carl Chandler.
G'day, dickhead.
It is, of course, the special 50th edition of the Little Dumb Dumb Club. It's exciting,
isn't it, Carl?
It is exciting. This is the best one we've... No, we haven't done it yet.
Yeah, okay.
Well, let's get into it.
We've got two guests in who have been on the show before.
Two of our Hall of Famers.
Two of our Hall of Famers.
Let's get to it.
Our first guest is a writer and award-nominated stand-up comedian, Xavier Michaelides.
Welcome in, Xavier.
Thanks for having me.
Now, some listeners may have heard you recently On one of our submissions for the Earwolf Challenge
That's right
That we handed in
And I believe the judges after listening to the clip
Referred to you as Xavier
Yes
And then couldn't get a handle on your last name at all
Just gave up on the last name
Which is fair enough
I mean I would as well
I'd like to
If I could I really would just drop it
Our second guest
He has appeared on Last Comic Standing
and in the web series The Match Committee.
He's also a fantastic stand-up comedian.
Welcome back, Lawrence Mooney.
Thank you very much.
It's nice to be.
I didn't know I was in the Dum Dum Hall of Fame.
You are.
I must have missed out on the ceremony.
Do you get a little trophy or something, a little dum dum?
Just on the wall, on the wall of the clubhouse.
Yeah, can't you see over there, there's a guy chiselling your name into the little scoreboard
that you've got?
Yeah, that's nice work.
Now, Moon, you are a Hall of Famer here at the Dum-Dum Club.
Your first appearance on this show was Episode 5, back when the Dum-Dum Club was in its infancy.
One of the walls of the clubhouse didn't exist.
The Hall of Fame board was a distant dream at that point.
I don't think we had microphones back then.
The Dum Dum.
Writing things down and sending them out as JPEGs.
The man who chisels in the name didn't have any pants on.
The Dum Dum Club was merely a dewy bud back then.
Yeah, it was.
Breaking through the earth, looking for sunlight.
Now it's a fine sapling in a stand of trees.
It's blossomed.
It's blossomed.
It's full of fruit.
Bees are having sex with us all the time.
It's going off.
Yeah, your stamen and your carpels are erect.
You've got just...
I've never been turned on by nature as much as I am right now.
There's like a hummingbird just pounding one of your flowers.
There's a squirrel going in and out of your orifice.
Yeah, there's a squirrel just filling one of your orifice with nuts.
Enough about us having sex with animals.
This is what I was going to get to, Moody,
because for people who may not have heard your first appearance on the show,
go and check it out.
It was episode five.
Last time you were in here, you told us about,
and correct me if I'm leaving anything off here,
I believe we heard mention of you shitting your pants in an alleyway,
you hiring a prostitute,
you having a nervous breakdown when you were working on Breakfast Radio.
I guess the question that all the listeners are wanting to know is,
what have you got left?
Is there anything in that well?
Have you nearly nicked yourself in the last couple of months since we spoke to you?
No, but remember also that podcast coincided with me having a motorcycle accident
on the way to record it.
And so I think that something was shaken loose and I was in shock.
All those awesome things, were they the things that went before your eyes
as you were coming off the bike?
I just, as I was hitting the tarmac,
sliding towards the car,
I was going, please, sweet Jesus,
don't let the shitting, drug addiction,
commercial radio finish for me.
I love this sweet life too much.
Did you get home and your wife,
and you told your wife, your life flashed before your eyes and she said,
was I in it? No, but I was banging a whore in Adelaide. I did remember that.
No, I had to go home and say, hey, I've done a podcast. And she said, yeah, what did you
say? And I went, ah.
You'll see.
I talked about it.
And then the next day she's tried to get on iTunes to download something else
and just found that it's been mysteriously uninstalled from her computer.
She can never find evidence of it.
Well, Lawrence, I mean, you've done –
B is a plenty.
You do stuff like this all the time.
You're a well-known showbizite, and you're doing pilots for radio and TV and stuff like that.
There's a thing in the news today.
Big Brother.
Remember Big Brother?
Big Brother the most... I guess it's...
Was it the original reality TV show in Australia, I guess?
Yeah, I guess so.
It was one of the first.
Yeah.
So Big Brother.
Big Brother's back.
It's coming back.
It's been off the air for, what, four years now?
A few years.
Well, it wound up in Australia after controversial circumstances.
There was a turkey slap.
A man pulled his penis out and slapped the face of a woman who was sleeping,
or at least relaxing in bed.
And there was a hue and cry in Australia that people didn't understand
what a turkey slap was.
Our Prime Minister actually had to use the term turkey slap.
Yes, yes.
That gives a fascinating insight into what this country is like.
It's back in the news, right?
It's back. It's coming back as of today. is like. It's back in the news, right? It's back.
It's coming back as of today.
It's been on for six years or whatever, right?
And for people that don't know exactly what Big Brother is,
it's a reality show where basically the principle is you put 12, 15,
whatever it is, people in a house.
And we remember when it was on originally, right?
Now, I don't think you guys know this,
and this is very out of character for me,
but season two I actually applied to be on Big Brother.
No!
Yes!
Did you send in a video?
No.
Oh, that's a shame.
This is exactly what happened.
I'd love to see a video of you going,
G'day, I'm Kyle Chandler.
I just want you all to watch me.
I think I'm pretty wacky.
I'll be the wacky guy in the house.
Actually, you're going to do a bit of comedy as well.
Yeah, exactly. I'm a bit fiery. I say what I think. I'll be the wacky guy in the house. Actually, he's going to do a bit of comedy as well. Yeah, exactly.
I'm a bit fiery.
I say what I think.
I don't hold anything back.
I'm a real crack up around the office.
They all say, what's he going to say next?
And I'm always photocopying pictures of my bum.
I hope to bring that into the house.
So I play the big brother, right?
And that's very out of character for me, I would have thought.
So what I had to do was I had to line up at this big outdoor sort of,
the Myer Music Bowl, which is quite massive in Melbourne,
and there was this massive line that went for hundreds of metres
of complete idiots because, I mean, any reality show,
the only person that wants to go on that show are complete lunatics
and complete arseholes.
Yourself included.
Yes.
I have no real talent or skills, but I just want to be on TV.
I am loud, though.
Yeah.
So I was in this line with hundreds of people, and I couldn people, and as soon as I got there, I went, this has
been a horrible mistake, but this will be funny at some stage.
So I sat there for hours.
We had to wait for hours, and I was in a line with people, hundreds of people that want
to be on Big Brother, and I couldn't have hated myself more.
It was just people doing star jumps in line and going, oh, what am I going to say to Big Brother?
I'll be like, no!
It was all that.
I was in line for hours with these people.
It was one of the worst experiences of my life at one point.
Sorry, and this was season two?
Yeah, yeah.
And season one was by far the biggest it's been?
Yeah, it was massive.
It was giant.
It was massive.
Sure.
That's why it was like, it was literally, I think, like a thousand people.
So why did you go in?
Did you think, oh, I want to be famous.
I want to be a famous comedian.
Well, this is what I literally, no, this is pre-comedy.
This is why I went in.
I had a really bad breakup with my girlfriend and I went into a real funk and a real, like
a, I'm assuming as close as you can get to depression as it was.
And I was coming out the end of it and going, I'm going to do something different with my
life.
Because this is what happened.
I had this really bad breakup.
I got dumped by my girlfriend.
I lost my job because of it. I'm going to do something different with my life. Because this is what happened. I had this really bad breakup. I got dumped by my girlfriend.
I lost my job because of it.
Then my car broke down.
I couldn't get it fixed.
And I was living so far away. In her driveway in her broken down car.
I was living so far away from anyone I knew.
And I was stuck in this horrible suburb going,
I don't know what I'm going to do with my life.
I know what will fix it.
I'll go on a shit house reality TV show.
Your girlfriend had kicked you out. You needed a place to live. So you thought big brother will put me in fix it. I'll go on a shit house reality TV show. Your girlfriend kicked you out.
You needed a place to live,
so you thought Big Brother would put me in for a few months.
This is a house I can live in.
So, Carl, what do you think you can bring to the house?
I'm just going to sit in the fetal position and weep.
Thank you.
Next.
I can make everyone else feel better about themselves.
I'll just lie in the bottom of the pool, if that's okay.
Carl, why do you want to be on Big Brother?
I've just broken up with my girlfriend.
My car broke down.
I lost my job.
Next.
Carl, what will you bring to the Big Brother house?
She'll turn on the TV and she'll see me with all my new friends
and then she'll be sorry.
And then when I get the money, I'm going to buy a gun
and then I'll be always sorry.
All of them.
Take all of them, bitches.
And I know she doesn't like watching the news,
and Big Brother's the only thing on the other channel,
so she'll have to watch me.
So I was in line, right?
And this is how crazy the people were in line, right?
You talk about them like you're not one of them.
The profile you just gave made you the creepiest, craziest person
at the MyMusicPoll. Yeah, at least they're just going on it because they want to have some fun you the creepiest, craziest, biggest at the MyMusic poll.
Yeah, at least they're just going on it because they want to have some fun.
You want to go on it to get back at your girlfriend
or to go through publicly some sort of bizarre emotional breakdown.
I apologise for having my heart broken.
I'm sorry I am the emotional elephant man.
Is that the name of the single that you released at that time?
Emotional elephantphant Man.
I'm sorry for having my heart broken.
Open brackets, the emotional elephant man.
That is my Twitter tag.
What age were you?
28 or something.
Prime time horrible breakup.
Getting dumped at that age, I tell you what, it can fully take you out.
I know.
I tried to get on Big Brother.
That's a sign of a desperate man.
So let's see if we can get through this with only six more interruptions.
So far in this story, at 20 minutes in, all you have done is get the tram somewhere and stand next to other people.
So I'm in line with these hundreds of freaks.
Now, I'll tell you this.
I'm coming out of my emotional elephant-ness.
This is when I'm trying to get my life back on track. I'm like, I'm going to change things up. I'll
do something. I'll do something I wouldn't normally do.
Do something wacky.
Yeah, exactly. So I did that. I went, all right, I'm just going to see what happens
here. So I'm in line with hundreds of people and they're all doing that thing. They're
all yelling out and they've all got stupid hats on and fluoro clothing and anything they
can do to be like peacocks and draw attention. And it was horrible.
Anyway, at one stage, the people next to me were going,
pointing at the trees because we're waiting outside in this park.
They're pointing at the trees and going, hang on a minute.
I'm pretty sure that there are spies in that tree.
And that person over there that's reading a book,
I reckon there's eye holes cut out of the book.
They're spying on us right now.
We need to be as crazy as we can be in line.
And so then they just upped the ante in line for the next hour and we're like and i nearly less you know that was about two hours i was i was like two hours into the line
i'm like this is so bad so uh anyway we finally got to the front of the line and we um what the
process is is you go
into this auditorium and you get put in groups of 20 and then these people like these 18 20 year
olds with little clipboards sort of put you through a like a bunch of tests to see how like
suitable or crazy or entertaining you are for the big brother house so all we did was get put in
these groups where um they would do team bonding things
where it was like, okay, everyone make the shape of a wine rack.
And so 20 of us made the shape of a wine rack, which, you know,
you're going on Big Brother, you're going to be on TV for like months and months.
How's that going to tell you how good you are on TV?
Do they then go, oh, I like the look of that bottle.
They've shown initiative by being the ones that jumped in there.
They made a good bottle.
Make a note of that.
What they do is they take photos of the different groups doing the wine rack and then they show
it to some focus groups and they see who gets the best feedback from the viewing public.
Well, I mean, why not just talk to them in depth?
The only talking they did, they did all these stupid games.
just talk to them in depth.
The only talking they did, they did all these stupid games.
One of the tasks was, and I can't see why anyone would go,
okay, the bottle was the good one, or the one on the left supported the bottle well.
What do you get out of that?
One stage they did the leaning, no, not the leaning therapy,
the Eiffel Tower.
I'm thinking, hang on, I'm just going to show a bit of initiative
and try and be creative and do something.
Took your pants off?
No.
They made the Eiffel Tower and then I sat back and went and pushed someone else in front of it and started pretending to take photos of it like I'm a tourist.
Oh, yeah, creating a scene.
All these idiot plebs are like, all the bloody worker bees are making the tower.
Here's this guy getting the punchline out on the front.
Like, they'll go with me, wouldn't they?
No, they didn't.
Instead, they had this last interview.
After all the exercises, they had an interview where they go, there's 20 of us there.
Tell us the wackiest, craziest thing about, you know, we like crazy people.
Give us some sort of crazy story.
Don't answer like crazy people. Give us some sort of crazy story. Don't answer like really crazy.
By the time you're defecating in a brown paper bag.
I wish I had known that advice.
I wish you had have given me that advice 10 years ago, Lawrence Mooney,
because I'm sitting there going, what have I got crazy?
What have I got?
Oh, I've got, I'm going to blow them out of the water.
They're going to dismiss everyone else out of this line right now.
I'm going to have king crazy story.
So they get the people, they round the people up,
and we're all viewing, you know, we're all in this group,
and the first person has a go.
They say, what's your craziest story?
And the guy goes, oh, my dad's like a dentist.
And I'm like, what a loser.
Clutching at straws.
Yeah.
Second guy comes up and goes, oh, last year I went skiing and broke my leg.
I'm like, what sort of idiot?
That is insane.
What sort of idiot?
That's boring.
And I'm sitting there going, oh, God, just hurry up and get to me.
Get to the gold.
And be class dismissed after this.
So they get to me and go, what's your craziest story?
I'm like, I'm glad you asked.
See, when I was at university a couple of years ago, me and my friend were, like, really drunk,
and we came home from the pub one night.
We were walking down the street, and we saw this door open in this house,
this abandoned house.
So we walked in.
It turns out to be, like, a squatting house for junkies,
but there's no one home at the time.
It's just this abandoned house with all this sort of worn-down furniture.
So we shat on their bed and wiped our ass with some of their clothes and stuff.
What?
And the whole place went absolutely silent.
And these 20-year-old course counsellors with their clipboard just looked,
nearly dropped the bloody pen, just looked at me in absolute disgust
and made as big of a red mark as I
possibly could do and then moved on to the next one who went, oh, I went to South America
once and they went, oh, you're in.
It is worth renoting that this is you trying to get on television.
That's you trying.
You need this so badly at this point in your life.
And you're going to cohabit with other people.
Their beds are going to be available to you and your whims.
I wish you got on the show because that would have been great
watching Big Brother up late and go,
uh-oh, Carl's under his old tricks again.
Borry on a pillow.
Look, guys, hindsight's a wonderful thing.
No one would have been talking about the turkey slap.
They'd be talking about the turd slap.
That would have been the thing we worried about.
What about the poor junkie?
Not only has he lost all hope, he's out ripping off, I don't know,
somebody's VCR.
He's maybe turning tricks.
Doing a hard day's work, asking for $2 off tourists.
He might be begging.
He's trying to get a fix just to stop the pain,
the cramps in his stomach, the hell in his head,
to forget the pain of maybe some horrific trauma as a child.
He finally scores.
He goes into an alley.
He shoots up.
He feels the shame.
Suddenly the cold is disappearing as the pain goes underneath the wave of warmth.
He goes, oh, go back to my terrible little squat where I live now.
Oh, no.
Who's been sleeping in my bed?
This is like Goldilocks Gothic.
This is emo Goldilocks.
Goldie Vains.
He probably would have said, I don't remember shitting in my bed.
But at least it's warm.
If that junkie's out there listening right now, I'd just like to say to him, that's showbiz.
That's how you get on TV.
You know what, those guys in line don't sound so crazy anymore.
I'd rather be someone going, I think you're filming in the trees, dancing around then.
Let's shit on some junkies' beds.
Well, I actually got into a bit of a...
You may have seen this, Carl.
In fact, I know that you saw this.
I got into a bit of a blue, a bit of a Barney over Twitter
with a colleague, a friend of ours, another comedian.
Basically, he sent me a message on Twitter publicly
and said, hey, I'm organising this gig.
Do you want to be involved?
And I wrote back and said, sounds great.
Send me an email.
And he wrote back, what's your email address?
I private messaged it to him.
Direct message.
Direct message.
DM'd.
Yes, sorry.
You're supposed to be genuine.
Why are you supposed to know these things?
Actually, I said private message because I thought that would make it more
understandable.
Oh!
Pannering to the
old guy. Oh, Mr.
Mooney, what do you mean Twitter?
What are you talking about Twitter?
In my day we used to write letters to one
another and go down to the post office.
You're sending information through the ether.
You are a rotten little kid. Help me understand information through the ether. You are a
rotten little kid. Help me understand.
Sorry, Dad.
I sent a private
message. Do you get what that
is, Mr Mooney? On the
computerer. Oh.
Have you got the Twitter on your phone?
Yeah, do you know what you're on right now?
Yeah, it's the wireless.
You know the photostat machine? It's a bit like that. Oh, you mean the Roneo machine, do you know what you're on right now? Yeah, it's the wireless. You know the photostat machine?
It's a bit like that.
Oh, you mean the Ronio machine,
where you get those purple photocopies that smell like methylated spirits.
Oh, they were awesome.
And you'd lick them.
No, no, no, you'd lick them.
Look, mistakes were made, all right?
So I've DM'd him my email address.
You were looking for an abbreviation for email address.
My electronic mail address.
Now, okay, I'm sure you're aware of this, but for anyone listening who's not,
the reason I DM'd it to him was because if you put your address publicly,
spam robots can get it, and then you get sent stuff about penis enlargement.
So that's why I've...
So yeah, I've sent him my email address via a private message and then he says publicly
on Twitter, he goes, hey everyone, Tommy Dasolo's email address is this.
He doesn't want his Twitter followers to know about it
because he thinks he's too good for you.
And so I replied to that publicly saying,
well, I guess the only natural point of escalation here
is for me to put your phone number up, right?
He writes back to that going, preemptive strike,
Tommy Dasolo's phone number is this.
Puts it up there.
So then I reply to him putting his phone number up there.
And so I'm, you know, the day goes on and I'm thinking over it going,
what an asshole, like what a dick move on his part,
getting angry at him for that.
Did you put his phone up?
Yes.
I did, yeah.
So just worst case scenario, if all 24 of your followers
used your phone number, that could be like a busy day for you.
That's what I'm getting to because it got to the end of the day
and I was fuming, going, oh, people who are into my little podcast
are going to start calling me up and harassing me.
And it got to the end of the day.
So not only did I have to deal with the anger of my friend doing that to me,
but I also had to deal with the anger of the fact that no one had given a shit
about having my phone number out there, not a single soul.
I think it's still up there now and I'm yet to receive a single lonely piece of correspondence.
Do you want to put your phone number out now, and someone call in?
If someone can call in.
Someone was thinking of stealing your identity and went, you know what, I'll stick with my
own identity.
Your listeners aren't going to be happy unless you name the comedian.
And it's out there on Twitter.
They've put your number out.
They've put your electronic interweave mail address out there.
Who are they?
It's Henry Stone.
You know Henry Stone.
Henry's a sweet guy.
I used to think so.
I'm not going to pick sides in that fight.
I think you just have.
There's not really a side to pick.
Two people put each other's phone numbers up.
Two sad, lonely men put their phone numbers on Twitter and no one cares.
We don't need to bring gang colours into this.
I think it's pretty much done.
So we're talking about Big Brother.
The show Big Brother, if you've ever seen it, you'll know it is largely obsessed with sex.
And in talking about that, it's got me thinking.
I was thinking about this the other day.
There must have been people who've accidentally had sex to our show.
Because if it's on your iPod and you've got some music on, you've got a bit of a sexy
playlist, is it not that ridiculous that we could have snuck in on someone's playlist?
Put it on shuffle.
Yes.
Because the opening song, you wouldn't know it.
It sounds like a make-out song.
You wouldn't know.
Yeah.
And you're really, like, you're getting into some crazy nine-inch nails animal moves.
Yeah.
It's like...
Yeah, and then there's a move.
And then you're like, hey, mate!
And he goes, oh!
It must have happened.
It must have happened.
Write into us and let us know.
I reckon it would have happened because I've had that thing happen before where you put
it on shuffle and I've had...
Back when I've had girlfriends before this girlfriend girlfriend back when I was a bit more free
and easy I've had you know things come on shuffle where girls have sent messages to me audio
messages and it's made me go I will never put my iPhone my iPod on a public display for a party or
anything like this because I don't remember what's all the way through my iTunes.
When you first got your iPod, did you, just desperate to have a lot of stuff on there,
did you just load heaps of shit on there that has been hard to get rid of ever since?
I have, yeah.
I did that.
I just went, I got somebody else's iPod and just put all their players on mine just to have something.
So do you mean that, because that's always the excuse.
Like when you'd find something embarrassing on someone's iPod
and they'd go, oh, no, that's not mine.
My sister put that on there because she took a job.
No, the Shirley Bassey's mine.
I'll stand by it.
That's my girlfriend's because we share an iPod because we're 70.
Like why does that happen?
It's like people that have those joint shared email accounts.
Oh, I can't stand that.
They're free, guys.
That's creepy.
They're free.
You're not saving anything there.
Oh, yeah.
What is with that?
It's never occurred to me.
I always thought, oh, you know, that's a nice couple thing to do.
But no, it's not.
Yeah.
It's just a control freakout.
Yeah.
I want to keep track of what she's doing.
I don't want to just emailing anyone.
I want to keep track of what my wife does.
I didn't think of that, the male initiating that.
I always just imagine it would be the female that's initiated that.
Listen, if a woman gets out there on the internet,
who knows who she's going to meet.
She might be influenced by someone.
So I just want to keep track of what she's doing.
Well, I'm amazed that you're even able to, your paranoia would allow you to leave the
house long enough to do this podcast, Xavier.
Talking about paranoid control.
She's probably having sex to our show right now.
Just saying to him, hey, mate.
Hey, mate.
Let's put on the episode that my boyfriend was on.
Just put it on a loop.
Hey, mate.
Hey, mate.
Put it backward.
Actually, Lauren, stop doing that.
I'm actually getting a bit of a boner from that.
It's pretty good.
Now, as you mentioned before, Tommy, I do a little webisode thing called thematchcommittee.com.
Yes.
And you can view that on the interweb.
And we were shooting our final one on Monday night
and the cameraman put a little tiny camera in the corner of the room
that we shoot it in and it was a time-lapse camera.
Right.
Really cool.
So we shot for about four or five hours and he gets this thing down,
downloads it.
It's really good vision.
You can see great detail.
It's kind of small. You can see great detail. It's kind of small.
You can blow it up if you want.
But there it is, four or five hours of time lapse in the room.
And so I just went, so you can just get one of them and stick it in any room.
And he goes, yeah, you want to be careful, mate.
Because you might end up seeing things you don't want to see.
Right.
It's like, just imagine, just as a joke,
I put the time lapse in the bedroom,
you come home, download it,
and there's just your worst possible nightmare played out.
But it's not just one.
It's just like Traffic Central, Four or five hours of oh god!
And they're all moving in and out so quickly.
It's like shopping centre CCTV.
Just customers going in and out.
What's happened?
Someone's stealing stuff as well.
They're putting your clothes on and pretending to be you.
It's just like
a slow motion Benny Hill routine with all the guys coming through just slowed down.
But if someone knew you were just putting a time lapse in there for a joke and did that to you.
That'd be so good.
To do a dick with your mind.
As a joke, someone came in and fucked your wife.
Pretty good joke, though.
Gotcha!
No, that's an old joke.
I'm sick of that joke.
That's not funny anymore, guys.
Who was it this time?
Come on, fess up.
Can you please not say fucked your wife on this podcast?
My parents-in-law might listen to this.
And that's their daughter.
So getting back to the Big Brother thing quickly,
Carl was talking about his audition for Big Brother.
Xavier, you're an actor.
You do a lot of acting work.
You must have gone to your fair share of auditions in your time.
I used to go to a lot of ad auditions.
And basically I'd walk into the room and I'll look around the room
and go, everyone is really athletic, beautiful, clean cut,
hair on their head, not all over their chin and body.
And I'll go, yeah, I'm not going to get this.
And I'd walk in.
It's pretty much, and there's no lines.
Usually I just walk in and I go, okay, can you just hold something and smile?
I walk in and go, and smile a bit. And they go, yeah, and there's no lines. Usually I just walk in. They go, okay, can you just hold something and smile? I walk in and go and smile a bit.
And they go, yeah, you want a model, not an actor.
And that's not going to happen with me.
Creepy, bald, Greek man.
He does not, you know.
You're attractive though.
You've got a good face.
You've got an attractive face.
But I'm not TV.
You've got a bald head, but it's not,
it doesn't make you unattractive.
I couldn't do bald, but you can do bald well.
The thing is for TV...
That's a compliment.
But for TV, it's not a compliment.
Is it or is it just an act?
No, no.
Carl, that story wasn't good for Big Brother, and that's not a compliment.
There's two things you can learn today, all right?
You can do bald is not a compliment.
It's just a statement of fact.
It's a statement of fact.
It's like saying, hey, you're a cool man, you're bald.
Like, how is bald
a good thing? His bald head looks good.
Yeah, it's a good bald head.
You're saying I can do bald. It's a good shade.
That's what I just said. I know, but
it sounds like everything you say is mean.
The way you say anything
doesn't sound like a compliment. No, because it generally is.
So when one slips through the net, it's very confusing.
You mean that I look
good bald, is what you should have said. Yeah. You were saying
I do bald, which is actually what I do.
I do bald by the fact that
you do bald. Professionally.
Pretty much full-time now. Full-time bald.
At night I grow hair and I
never get to see it. It's really annoying.
I grow a full head of hair. If it wasn't for your
head above your eyebrows, you're a
pretty good-looking guy.
You're saying his scalp is really ugly.
Is that what you're saying?
I'm just saying if he wore a hat.
He'd be real good looking.
Well, once I did an audition for a kid's show and they said, because I always thought, sure, I'm bald, but I've got some nice thick eyebrows here.
That'll make up for my hair.
And she said, you're a bit scary
in the eyes.
Scary in the eyes? Scary in the eyes.
Can you be a bit less scary in the eyes?
And I said,
no, and I threw the script in her face
and just walked on out. And killed her with laser
beams from your eyeballs. That's true.
Because I'm pretty scary in the eyes.
And I was like, hey, bitch, I do bald well.
You should grow your eyebrows really long and just brush scary in the eyes. And I was like, hey, bitch, I do bald well. You should grow your eyebrows really long.
And then just brush them over the top.
And comb up.
And comb up over.
I think I will.
I think I will.
I think I will.
I think that's a great idea.
I think it's going to happen.
