Hey mates, welcome to another edition of the Little Dumb Dumb Club.
My name is Tommy Dasolo, sitting opposite me, the other half of the show, Carl Chandler.
G'day dickhead.
Can't help but notice a yellow hay mate poking out from under your jumper there.
Is it the end of the laundry cycle.
Is that what it is?
No, I figure, well, why should anyone else be expected to buy one if I'm not expected,
you know, if I don't wear one myself?
Fair call.
Yeah.
And I like it.
It's a good shirt.
You know, I designed it.
You know, I wouldn't have signed off on it and finished designing it if I hadn't gone
at some stage.
That is good.
I would wear that.
Is that weird though? Is that like a band listening to at some stage, that is good. I would wear that. Is that weird, though?
Is that like a band listening to their own CD?
Maybe.
Yeah.
But I like it.
I like the colours.
Yeah.
It's the navy one.
I wasn't going to talk about this.
For anyone who's perhaps not familiar, we sell t-shirts from this show, if this is your
first time listening.
Have we plugged that before or not?
We have plugged it, but you know, every episode is someone's first time.
So, you know, if you're just listening, we have t-shirts that say Hey Mate on them.
And to be fair, I think there's at least one guest in the studio to which all of this is
quite new.
Yep.
Yep.
We'll get to that.
But anyway, friend of the show, Jason Chatfield is in New York at the moment and he sent this
to me.
Now I called bullshit on it.
He swears to me it's true.
He reckons he saw a bloke in New York buying a hot dog wearing a Hey Mate t-shirt.
Yes.
Has he told you that? Yes.
Yeah. Now, what do you reckon?
I called bullshit because it
seems too convenient. He said, oh, I would have
taken a photo, but my camera
had run out of batteries a couple of hours before.
Yeah, well, I asked him. I said, well, you're in New York.
What did you say to him? Oh, nothing.
Why didn't you say anything? Oh, I was
busy queuing for a hot dog. Yeah. Oh, yeah?
Story checks out. Yeah, I don't believe any of it at all.
I believe it because, like, I want to believe.
I know, I want to believe it.
I'm like Fox Mulder of dickheads.
Yeah.
Have we posted any to New York?
Can you remember?
I may have.
Yeah.
No, but he said it was an Australian.
He reckoned it was an Australian.
That's even weirder that he didn't talk to them.
Yeah, yeah.
But then he said, oh, it was like a husband and wife,
and I'm like, you didn't talk to them.
But how did the marriage come up in conversation?
How did their marriage come up in their conversation whilst they're buying a hot dog?
Well, maybe the hot dog stand had like a special married couples combo that you can get.
Well, maybe he asked for a hot dog and then the guy, the hot dog vendor said,
and do you want one for, and he went, my wife?
Yeah, well, let's put the call out.
If you're a married couple who listen to the show and one of you has a Dumb Dumb Cop t-shirt.
If you've had a hot dog recently, email in and let us know.
Even if you don't have a shirt.
If you've had a hot dog recently in New York, let us know.
If you've eaten anything, just please get in touch, whoever you are.
But we've set up a web store now so it is easier for people to buy the T-shirts
because previously people –
And hot dogs.
Yeah, we're selling hot dogs in here as well.
Thelittledumbdumbclub.bigcartel.com because previously people had to email us
and it was all a bit – I think people felt a bit sus about it, you know.
Someone emailed me during the week saying that they wanted to get one
but they don't have their own credit card.
And so they're like, I want to know how I get it because, you know,
my parents are going to have to do it because, you know, my parents are going
to have to do it.
And, you know, they want to, you know, find out that it's legit and that it's not sus.
And so I had to write back and go, well, you email us, you send us your credit card details
through PayPal.
And then we, once we get your address, then we post it out to you.
And then as soon as I sent it off, I went, she's not writing back.
There's no way her parents are signing off on that.
Yeah.
Do a bank transfer. And then I'll, I'll name she's not writing back. There's no way her parents are signing off on that. Yeah, do a bank transfer and then I'll name the subject title as marijuana.
Anyway, we've got a Nigerian prince handling the web store for us now, so now it's all
completely above board.
Did you have anything or should we bring the guests in?
Sure.
This is what happened last week.
I think we've talked about this on the show where we have talked about our travel agent
that now you introduced me
to a new travel agent
who I'm a big fan of.
Anna that works for
Flight Centre.
I can say that brand name.
Well, they're sponsoring the show
so go for it.
Yeah, sure.
They're in the city in Melbourne
and I'm a big fan of Anna
and Anna's very good.
She's a funny girl
and she's a nice lady.
Now, who's the other girl?
If this is just you trying to get a discount on your upcoming holiday, just piss right off right now.
That's paid for, buddy.
All right.
Now, the other girl that works there that you know, what's her name?
Laura.
Laura.
Now, I don't have anything to do with Laura.
So, I went in there to pay off the final bit of a holiday, upcoming holiday.
God, this makes us sound sad.
We're just way too close to our travel agents.
It just makes us sound like we have nothing better to do.
Well, yeah.
So I went in there and I was talking to Anna and she goes, oh, now she knows you quite
well because your dad goes in there a lot.
Mr. Allsop goes in there a lot that we've talked about on the show before.
Now, she said, now I saw you, mate, Tommy Allsop.
No, I didn't see you, mate.
What was her name?
Laura.
Yeah.
Laura.
Laura saw Tommy on the weekend with you on the weekend.
And I went, on the weekend?
I wasn't with him on the weekend.
And she goes, oh, wasn't that you?
And I go, no.
And she goes, oh, I just thought it was you because she said, oh, yeah, I saw Tommy Allsop
and his fat friend the other day.
When did I become someone's fat friend?
Yes.
Oh, this is vengeance.
I'm not even fat.
This is great.
Why am I fat?
This is great.
Now I want to know which one of my friends is fat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's great.
Oh, my fat little friend.
Yeah.
Hey, there he is.
Old Fatto.
Little Fatsy.
Little Fat Chandler.
Jesus.
Little Fandler.
Yeah. This is very good. Old Fatto. Little Fatsy. Little Fat Chandler. Jesus. Little Fandler. Yeah.
This is very good.
Old Jeremy Craig.
All right, put the Craig down and let's bring in the guests.
Today on the show...
If they can fit in the bloody studio.
Two returning guests on the show today, two very dear friends of ours.
First guest, you will know her from the Down Low podcast.
Please welcome Anne Edmonds.
Yay!
Now this is a podcast, Anne.
Yeah.
Even though you've done this before, you still look very spooked by the whole experience.
I don't, yeah, I do know what's going on.
I know it's about comedy.
Yeah.
And I know that you-
No, the content is comedy.
The content is comedy.
It's not about comedy.
It's not about comedy.
The content is comedy and you guys run it.
And here I am.
Well, I mean, to be fair, you have been on the show before,
but I don't blame you for not knowing what goes on because last time
you were in here, you pretty much just sat there in silence while me
and Carl argued about whether or not I was drunk.
So you didn't really get much of a chance to have a proper go.
So that's why we've done this one in the middle of the day.
I've had a couple, but it's all going to be more above board
than it was last time.
Good, good.
I'm glad.
Also returning to the show, our first ever guest on the program.
He's been on a few times.
He's a very big friend of the show.
Please welcome back Nick Cody.
Yay!
Hey, mate.
A Hall of Fame friend of the show.
Certainly.
You've sort of been a little bit, I think you were the number one
friend of the show, but I think you've sort of been supplanted by Luke McGregor.
Yeah.
He took over.
As soon as I got blood in my jizz on the live show, nobody wants a piece of this Cody podcast.
Yeah, that's how fickle audiences are.
You know, you make one mistake and then you're out.
Yeah.
McGregor's been on a few times, hasn't he?
He has.
He's taken over.
You haven't been on for a little while and we've missed you.
Yeah, it's just the live one.
The live one back at Softball.
We've missed you a lot since we only probably see you out in the town about every night.
Yeah.
Just good to catch up with you.
It is nice.
It's nice to be back in here.
I'm drenched, which is good.
You've ridden your bike in here.
It's been raining all day.
You've made the curious decision to wear shorts and you look vaguely homeless, I will say.
You look like a man who has no other options.
I'm drenched from the waist down.
I am fucking soaked.
And I've been watching him Towel himself down
Which is
One of the worst experiences
In my life
That's a little towel
You've got there too
It's a tiny little towel
It's a little chamois
Yeah
Wow
You've got a golf towel
Yep
Certainly do
So you've dried your balls
And that's about it
Yay
Yay
This is
Annie's on it Annie It's a podcast about comedy Today What a ball Yay! Yay! This is Anne.
Anne is on it.
Anne, it's a podcast about comedy today.
Anne.
What a ball.
Such an expressive face.
Like, you just turned to me while that was going on,
and what I got from your look was, should I go A?
And you gave me the nod, and I'll follow it.
I gave you the nod of approval.
By the way, before, you gave Chandler a bit of shit about wearing the T-shirt,
saying, is that like a band listening to their own songs?
It's even worse than that.
It's like a band wearing a T-shirt with their own lyrics on it.
Yeah.
That is way worse.
Yeah, it is too.
Because it's what you say on the show which makes it sort of weird.
How come you've got travel agents, guys, in this day and age?
That's what I was wondering.
What the hell do they do?
You can go online.
No, but I'm not booking like an all-day pass on a tram.
I'm not booking something very easy.
You're not because they don't do that.
I'm not booking an all-day pass on a tram.
All right, Gramps.
I've made that clear.
There's one thing I haven't done.
They could just stitch you up for heaps of bloody throopens
and hay pennies on there on the interwebs.
Yeah, you fat old man.
I miss McGregor.
No, but I'm doing a holiday,
so there's like about four flights involved and accommodation and stuff.
And with the travel agent,
is it easier for them to book you the two seats that you need to be on a plane?
Yes.
Because I'm fat.
Because I'm fat.
You get it?
I'm fat.
The new Kevin Smith, hey?
Can't wait to see that one go down.
I'll have you know I'm 81.2 kilos.
Is that actually what you are?
Yes, I weighed myself today.
But he's 4'6".
There is two stories on me, though.
81.2, that's fine.
Is it?
Yeah.
Let's not get into this.
Why not?
I'm 92.4. Are you? I was 95 a couple of weeks ago. 81.2, that's fine Is it? Yeah Let's not get into this Why not?
Because it's boring I'm 92.4
Are you?
I was 95 a couple of weeks ago
That's fat
Because you're smaller than me
You're shorter than me
What's happened?
How many weeks ago?
Two weeks ago
And what are you now?
92
What was the first one?
Just went to the gym
95 and a bit
Oh, that's alright
Just went to the gym once
And it just
Is that all you have to do?
I just live at the gym now Because I don't have any food, so I've lost three kilos.
Now, Nick, you are on a podcast.
You're on my favorite podcast, I have to say.
Something to the drive home.
It's the one I listen to every week.
The Giggle Cast.
Your t-shirt begs to differ.
Yeah, well, they don't have any merch because otherwise, I think their merch would just
be you wear an octopus.
That'd be it.
What does that mean?
That's a fair question.
That is a fair question.
It's quite a ridiculous... Have you never listened?
Nick and Bart Freebar.
It's different from this podcast as in that
they'll actually give me sentences that I can reply to.
I have listened to that podcast
and all I heard was Bart talking and Nick
giggling.
That's the one. I've gotten to that podcast and all I heard was Bart talking and Nick giggling. Yeah. Yes. That's the one.
I've gotten it down to only maybe the first 30 seconds of each episode I giggle now.
Yeah.
Because they giggle a lot more.
Yeah, yeah.
I've noticed that.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, we had your little friend, Bart Fribourne, on the show.
Was it last week or the week before?
Two weeks ago, yeah.
Week before.
Week before.
And I was just thinking, after it came out, I actually thought to myself, we never get any negative feedback on the show.
Because as we sort of talk about it, it's not like radio where you can sort of accidentally tune in on the car and go, oh, what's this shit?
I'm going to write a letter.
Or, you know, someone else can have it on or whatever.
It's like you've got to make a decision to download it.
And then you listen to it and it's free.
And you go, okay, I like it or I don't like it.
Mainly you like it because it's been recommended or whatever.
So you don't usually get much negative feedback.
But after that episode, we got – now, I haven't got the exact wording.
I've got it.
Have you?
Yeah.
Okay.
I was going to save this for mailbag.
Oh, okay, sure.
No, I mean, we're here now.
Mailbag.
So this is someone who sent us a Twitter.
Why do you have guests if you're going to steal the limelight with your own dull stories?
Yes.
Yeah.
That was the feedback. Oh, dear. And then I – Hold on, guys. Dull stories, what do you mean, like, about going to steal the limelight with your own dull stories? Yes. Yeah. That was the feedback.
Oh, dear.
And then I-
Hold on, guys.
Dull stories, what do you mean, like, about going to the travel agent?
No, that's riveting for everyone.
Hey, Carl, you're wearing a t-shirt.
Hey.
Tommy, your dad goes to the same travel agent as us.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
If you spell it out, everything sounds stupid, okay?
At least you guys have stories.
Let's get a set list of your podcasts.
Yeah, that's what I hear for most of the-
I was just flattered that someone thought of this show as a limelight.
It's really churching it up a little bit.
But not only that, so that guy chucked that at me, and then I looked back and-
It's a lady, by the way.
Is it a lady?
It's a lady.
It was me.
You sure?
No, it didn't say, what is this?
Or where am I?
Why do you have guests if you're just going to steal the limelight brackets, I assume?
No, no, hers was just, why do you have guests?
Why is your voice coming out of the computer?
Just why?
So I looked at this person, this so-called woman, that had sent this message,
and then she'd sent a message to Bart, like a positive message to Bart,
going, hey, I really liked you on the little dull dull club.
Ooh, straight through the heart.
The little dull dull club.
Ouch.
How can you make it more offensive than dumb dumb club?
She did it though.
Exactly.
She's made it less offensive.
That's nicer. I'd rather be dull than dumb. No. I'd's made it less offensive. That's nicer.
I'd rather be dull than dumb.
I'd rather be boring than stupid.
Maybe she was trying to pay a compliment then.
Maybe we've read this completely wrong.
Maybe you shouldn't have told her to go kill herself.
Handled that well.
Dull dull? Death to you
and your family. That sounds like a joke, but it's actually what I did.
What the message was,
was you know when someone says something and you go,
especially on email, and you go,
right, my first instinct is to go back at them really hard and whatever.
And then you go, hang on.
I went, hang on a minute.
Just sit on your hands for half a day.
Just count to ten.
Don't be so angry.
Just have a bit of a wait
and have a think about what you want to say.
So I waited about six hours and I went, yeah, I still want to tell her to kill herself.
Because her thing to me was, why do you bother having guests on the show if you're just going to ignore them and tell your own boring stories?
So my reply was, why do you bother having Twitter when it's taking up valuable time when you should be necking yourself?
Was that hard to type with your fat fingers?
I dictated it to my...
To Siri.
Hey, Siri, I want to tell this mole to go, fuck off.
To my typing parrot.
Who knocked it out, yeah.
And I didn't get a reply back from that, which either means they are dead.
Yeah, exactly.
He was successful.
No, but they didn't reply.
And then they kept, they follow me, whoever that person is follows me.
And they didn't unfollow me.
I told them to kill themselves.
And yet that's not worth an unfollow?
That's weird.
Well, they can't unfollow you if they're dead.
Yeah. Maybe they, did they favorite the tweet? No. Because, you know, if they're following That's weird. Well, they can't unfollow you if they're dead. Yeah.
Maybe they, did they favorite the tweet?
No.
Because, you know, if they're following you and they know you, they'll be like, oh, it's
classic Chandler.
Classic boring Chandler.
Classic boring Chandler.
Hashtag ZZZ.
Yeah.
What have you just written back?
Why don't you do something?
Oh, dull.
Boring.
Why don't you just go and live your life?
Oh, classic.
Just stealing the limelight.
Oh, fat and boring.
From who cares?
Is there anything where if they favourite a tweet of yours and then they still don't
follow you?
That's upsetting.
I've had that a few times.
Someone's like, yeah, I like that, but I don't want you in my life anymore.
I do.
You know, I try not to get into the politics of Twitter because it can be a bit weird,
but yeah, that is weird.
You did a one hourhour show about it.
Yeah, and after telling us that story, you're not trying very hard.
I try in my mind.
It's like I try not to eat whole blocks of lard.
Yeah, fatty.
But, yeah, no, that is a bit annoying.
I noticed you've put out a desperate plea on the interweb
in the last couple of days that you're nearly at a thousand followers.
Yeah, last night.
You got them yet?
No, I don't know. I didn't check this morning.
I'm putting out a thing to listeners to unfollow Nick Cody, just to prolong it a little bit
more.
All right, I'll take 800.
What about you, Anne? Have you been doing a bit of touring lately?
Yes. No. Yes. I went to...
Hang on, which one was it? Yes. No. Yes. I went to. Hang on.
Which one was it?
Yeah.
Nah.
Yeah.
Putty player.
Yeah.
Nah.
Put in the hard yards on road show.
Just happy to get the win.
Explain the no part of that question.
No, I don't know.
I did.
I was.
There have been times where I've been in my house, so technically no.
I'm not on it now.
Or am I?
I went to Sydney for a bit.
That was nice.
I love Sydney.
It's a great house.
Have you been to the beach there?
Which one?
Sydney Beach.
You go to Sydney Beach, you go east of the city.
Are you from America?
Are you part of the facts of life down under?
Are you living in the opera house at the moment?
I was on the Contiki Roadshow.
No, I was just up there doing some shows and I popped myself on the bus and went down to
the beach.
I was like, how lucky are these people?
They've just got this incredible beach.
They do have some pretty spectacular beaches there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I did a bit of rural Victoria on the old Comedy Festival Roadshow.
They like me in the rural areas.
Yeah.
I don't know what that means about my career, but I go down well there for some reason.
And not so much in the city?
Is that what you're saying?
No, I go around the city.
Because it's one or the other end.
Which is it?
I just get surprised sometimes when I go into rural areas.
I'm like, ooh, these freaks like me.
Oh, that attitude.
That's interesting.
Is that what you're open with?
Yeah.
You people disgust me.
That's interesting though because some people really struggle with rural crowds.
Sam Simmons was saying he finds it a bit tough.
Yeah, it might be my netball gear.
And a banjo.
And a banjo.
I did live in the country for a while, so I talk about that a bit.
So maybe they relate.
So you did a bit of recon before the gig.
Yeah. So that was fun
thank you for asking
just trying not to steal the limelight
with my own dull stories
you didn't do a lot of press
in the country did you
I thought Bart was the hardest
to segue from in conversation
thank you for asking
now you talk
before you do this
I just want to remind you not to end any sentences with the words
full stop because I feel like that's going to be the next step with you, Anne.
All right.
I got it.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Now, we're talking about listeners.
We got – I got a parcel in the mail this week.
Oh, boy.
I really wish I had have taken the name of the listener now because I shouldn't have brought this up without the name of the listener.
We got sent a parcel.
I got sent a parcel in the mail.
I got a big, big, big bag of shaker fry mixture.
Yes.
It was sitting on my coffee table at the moment.
McDonald's.
McDonald's shaker fry.
McDonald's is a fast food chain.
Are you the boy in the bubble?
You seem to have no reference to anything.
No, Anson seems like a radio producer where she's sitting there the whole time going,
now you've got to explain what shaker fries are, except she's not phrasing it like that.
She's just going, what?
What's that?
Why?
What?
What?
So you got the stuff that you shake on fries, not the fries themselves.
No, no, no.
The shaker fry mixture.
You know when you buy them and you have it in a-
Big bag of fries.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, I don't knowaker fry mixture. You know when you buy them and you have it in a... Big bag of fries. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, no, I don't know.
Oh, really?
You've never had shaker fries?
No.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, they're awesome.
And you put them in the bag and you shake them up and you've got that whatever...
Seasoning.
What's the taste of it?
Chicken salt?
No, it's not chicken salt.
No, it's like a tomato-y kind of...
I think they used to have all sorts of different flavours and they bought it back recently.
Because we were talking about it on the show for a while about how we loved it and how
we wanted them to bring it back.
And then not long after that, purely because we had been talking about it, we believe,
McDonald's bought it back on the menu for a limited time.
I see.
And so this guy is...
Cameron Day, friend of the show from Ballarat.
How did he come into so many of these sachets?
I think his friend worked at McDonald's.
Okay.
Maybe worked at the Wendery McDonald's, maybe.
Just doing some sweet name dropping there.
They've probably still got the shaker fry seasoning from the original batch.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, don't bag Anne's people.
Oh.
That's how you got paid for the gigs, isn't it?
Boxes of shaker fry seasoning.
So we got these massive, this is going to be good for the listeners, but I'm just going
to show you guys.
We got like a hundred of them or something.
Are you just eating it just straight?
I haven't touched it.
No, I haven't touched it.
I think what we're going to do is at the next live show we do in Melbourne, I think we're
going to buy a heap of fries and shake it up and give them out to the audience.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Yeah, I reckon that's a good idea.
Or even for the Sydney one.
We got enough to do two lots.
Well, you know what?
I'm just a little bit worried about taking shaker fries on a plane.
I don't want to have to explain that.
Now I do know why he has a travel agent.
This idiot.
Can I bring shoes on?
Can I bring a hat?
Can I bring shaker fried eggs?
What inoculations do I need and what condiments can I carry?
What if you're just going through the security checkpoint
and they're like, have you got any dangerous substances in here?
Dangerously delicious.
Is there any world record you can break with shake or fries?
Like can you shake the most fries or something?
I hope so.
That would be great.
Let's look into that.
If you've got a pillowcase and put fries in there.
Yes.
All the sachets.
I don't know how desperate Guinness are at the moment,
but we'll look it up and see what sort of records they have.
We know how fat Chandler is, so we know we're going to smash that.
Just do the biggest shaker fry ever, live to air.
Just one fry.
That's one fry in it.
That's what we're doing.
That's what we're doing.
We're going to do it live on stage.
We're going to shake a pillowcase full of fries.
No, just one fry.
Let's just staple a bunch of potatoes together and make one fry and just coat it in it.
Or Cody rides his bike in the rain and then we roll him in the shaker fry mixture.
That'd be great.
And then all the comics in Melbourne lick him it off.
For good luck before a gig.
Shake a drunk.
That's just one of my fantasies.
One of your rural fantasies.
Yeah.
I went to Trippy Taco on Gertrude Street in Melbourne the other day,
and they have fries with seasoning on it, and it's quite Shake-A-Fry-esque,
I noticed.
So anyone, if you're really jonesing for the seasoning
and you can't wait for our live show, go down there because it's pretty.
No, go to Schnitz.
Schnitz have the best fries.
Schnitz are good, yeah.
Schnitz and tits.
Hey, speaking of food.
They are her people.
Do you reckon it's wrong when you buy a sandwich at the shop?
Not so far, but is there more?
No, and it's a focaccia and it's got spinach in it
and then they toast it with the spinach in it.
Oh, yeah, that's awful.
Yeah.
I reckon that's, or the lettuce and they toast it and the lettuce gets hot.
But they always toast it for a bit too long because, you know,
you can do that, like I do that at home where I'll put spinach in a thing
and, you know, you can toast it to the perfect amount where the bread is crisp,
everything's warm, but your spinach hasn't absolutely gone to shit.
Yeah, right.
Whereas, yeah, that's the worst.
And when they've got it in the display cabinet where it's like it's all nice
and fresh and you go, here we go, this will be good, this looks great,
and then they ask if you want it toasted.
Yeah.
Yeah, that'll be nice.
Of course I do.
And then it comes out and it's just a flat and just cheese everywhere
and wilted spinach and you go, oh, this isn't.
No.
And you're just sitting there looking at all the fresh ones that you could
have had untoasted in the cabinet.
Boy, I'm glad you brought this up.
Yeah.
It just happened to me, that's why.
And I end up with a mush of hot spinach. Anything in a shit cafe where you get a choice where you realise
too late that you made the wrong choice.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
I do do stuff, guys.
I go to the beach, I eat focaccia.
Focaccia.
In the country once I was in sale and I asked for a sandwich on multigrain
and they didn't, like, didn't not have multigrain.
They just went, huh?
Like, what?
I'm like, multigrain.
Multigrain.
Like, even slowed it down and they just had no idea.
Oh, you mean brown bread.
You should have had admins there to give you the special code for what they are.
She's the babel fish.
She can talk to them.
Rural fish.
I would have said, you know, the white bread with bits in it.
That's what it is.
The stuff that helps you shit better.
I want that one.
We had, Tommy and I, we had a bit of a celebration
last night.
We invited everyone
that was,
that took part in the
Comedy Festival shows,
the Melbourne Comedy Festival shows.
We had a little dinner.
We put on a little dinner
at a pizza restaurant.
Just our shows,
not the comedy,
not all of the comedy festivals.
I was back,
I wasn't there.
There wasn't,
you know,
Paul Foot,
people like that.
It was just anyone to do with us.
It was everyone that worked together
on the show for us,
which was nice.
And I,
I decided where we were going.
We went to a pizza restaurant that I've been to before.
But what attracted me the most was I looked it up.
I looked at a restaurant review, and it just had review after review after review of how bad the service is, which attracted me.
I thought, well, this will be funny if they just are the worst.
There's like eight of us or nine of us that are just going to go, yeah, how funny is this?
We haven't gotten any food in 45 minutes.
Great.
But it sort of disappointed me because the service was very good, I thought,
until the very end when the bill came to like $222, I think,
and then we paid for it with $240, and then the guy just took it
and then just never came back.
Oh, the self-tip.
That's why they know that.
Yes.
That's why they're getting bad reviews.
It's all good up until that point.
And I made sure we waited there for an extra long time so it wasn't he was busy in the
kitchen or anything.
He came back and forth, back and forth.
He just decided that that was the tip.
Wow.
Did you give them a zero-star review and say, apparently they don't have change?
Did you give them a zero-star review and say,
apparently they don't have change?
Yeah, because I would have much rather them just spill a drink on me than just take money without asking, you know?
Yeah.
I've had a pizza delivery guy do that.
Maybe it's a pizza thing, yeah.
Just help him.
Like, you know, it came to like $16 and I've given him the $20
and he's gone to leave.
And I'm like, no, hang on, I'll have my $4, thanks.
Oh, you tight ass.
Yeah.
No, but come on.
I do it to cabbies because I live in the city.
Cabbies are the, like, I'll get in and give them my address and then they try and take
me up through Brunswick and I'm like, hey, asshole, I live here.
Yeah.
You go the right way.
And then they expect a tip and I'm like, you're really trying to rip me off and now you want
a tip.
Well, that's the thing because it's, you know, I don't want to sound tight, but the...
No, but when you break this down, when you break it down,
I just think it's an amusing thing where they've gone,
yeah, $18 sounds like a fair price for me bringing out pizza to you.
Yeah.
As a bonus.
It's only like 8% tip.
They're probably getting five bucks an hour or something
and they've got to get their money somehow.
It's not the state.
Yeah, exactly.
And you don't steal it.
Yeah.
But that's the thing.
But regardless of what is fair and what isn't fair to pay,
at the end of the day, it is a choice.
It's a thing that you give over.
They bring it back and then you get to do the good deed of saying,
no, I'm leaving this here, that's yours.
For them to just go, because then you're not even getting the good feeling of going, oh,
no, no, we gave that over.
That's yours.
That's just them going, no, that's like them taking it off you.
That's not different.
That's why your tip is you want to feel like a good person.
Yes, exactly.
And it's not like the States where the States, you know, the tips are more ingrained.
The tipping process is ingrained over here.
Over here, it's more like-
It's a bonus.
Yeah, it really is a bonus.
For job well done. Yeah, yeah. It is a reward. Yeah, it really is a bonus. It's a job well done.
Yeah, it is a reward.
And we would have tipped because, you know,
McGregor was being a pain in the ass.
He kept changing his drink order at the last minute,
apologising unnecessarily.
I felt like...
Kept trying to crack onto every woman in the restaurant, you know.
Ridiculous.
Yeah, I feel better about that $18 now because it was worth it,
just for McGregor.
How was McGregor there?
You know, good.
Business as usual.
Yeah?
Yeah.
He ate some pizza.
You just said from the sounds of it,
it sounded like there was a sweet McGregor story on the way.
Oh, no.
He just kept classically him.
Like, you know, the guy would come and go,
do you want a drink?
And he'd go, oh, I'll have one of them.
Oh, actually, no.
And like, you know, just classic making a big deal
out of the smallest thing.
No offense.
Can I have a drink?
No, I don't want to cause any trouble.
Okay, so here's something that happened to me the other day.
I was driving home from a gig.
Kyle's fat.
She's on it.
Yeah, I was driving home from a gig and then Kyle was fat.
End of the story.
Full stop.
Who's got something else?
You've really got to cut to the point in the country.
So I was driving home and got to my house,
and for the first time ever since I moved in,
there were no parks in my street.
So I had to sort of just go around the corner,
and there were no cars around in the street there,
so I parked there.
And I don't use my car that often, so it's like two, three days later.
I'm meeting a friend in the city.
It's like about 10 in the morning.
And I get a call and the guy on the other end goes,
G'day, it's Ben from Fitzroy Police Station.
Is this Tom?
Is this your car's license plate?
And I'm like thinking, oh, fuck, my car's been broken into.
This is what's happened or whatever.
And I go, yeah, that's my car.
And he goes, oh, where's it parked at the moment?
I'm like, oh, it's just like around the corner from my house
because there were no parks the other night when I came home.
And he goes, righto, what you've actually done is you've parked
in a spot that's meant to be angle parking and you've just parked
straight across three spaces because there were no cars around
and because it just looked like you were meant to park parallel
to the curb.
Like a boss?
So, yeah, and it's been there.
And he goes, yeah, we've been getting a lot of calls about your car.
Like, oh, shit.
So I'm out and then I go home.
But then I start to realise, like, because it was out the front of a cafe
and that's why there'd been so many calls about it.
So then I realised, like, when I get to my car,
it's going to be, like, me rocking up and then everyone in the cafe going,
oh, here he is.
Here's the little arsehole who's done this to us.
So I got to my house and I just, I like sprinted out to the car,
got in as quick as I could.
I felt like I was like a getaway driver in a bank heist gone wrong.
But it was like that thing of me doing a speedy getaway and then just
literally just reparking it about five metres up the street,
like trying to just speed off out of there but then going,
yeah, anyway, I'm just across the road now, guys.
Here I am.
Across four parks.
Yeah, exactly.
I thought you might actually get a fine for that because it's sort of illegal.
Yeah.
It's more.
No.
It's not like you're going into a cinema and just going,
seat saved, seat saved, and put your hands across three other seats.
I'm surprised they didn't have a.
Except just putting your jacket down with the sleeves
over the other seats and then coming surprised they didn't have a... Except just putting your jacket down with the sleeves over the other seats
and then coming back to the movies a week later.
But the really weird thing is, like, I don't know,
okay, this might be pretty hard to explain,
but on my side of the street there's, like,
everyone parks parallel to the curb
and then there's, like, a huge gap of space before the bike lane starts
and then once you cross over the other side of the roundabout
then it's all people parking on an angle.
So on my side of the street, you're actually meant to park
on an angle because there's always space but no one does it.
So someone just on my block of the street at one point has just decided,
nah, nuts to this, we're just going to go parallel to the curb
and everyone's done it.
Oh, so it's not lined.
But every other part, yeah, no, every other, and that's why I did it
because it just looked like my street.
But that's weird, isn't it, that someone just on my block, some trendsetter, however long ago, has just gone, nah, this
is the new.
We're parallel from here on in.
Yeah.
I don't know how that started out.
That's even harder.
And it fits less cars, doesn't it?
It fits less cars, but there's never that many cars.
Why don't they get some lines?
What's wrong with them?
Yeah, maybe I should go down there.
What suburb is this?
This is North Fitzroy.
I'll ring them.
Yeah, please do.
I love the idea that someone maybe at the front, around the corner from you, has a podcast too.
And this is probably the content of their podcast this week.
So you know how the last four weeks we've been talking about this arsehole that parked all over three parks?
Well, he finally come along.
The three-spot bandit.
Yeah, I'm actually going to be a guest on there next week.
I'm looking forward to it.
On the parking podcast.
Some 14 year old chick with a beard runs out
gets in the car and drives off.
This has been the council
of North Fitzroy podcast
again. Bye bye mates.
That's the thing, like, you know,
when the guy called me and he instantly
opens the call with, this is Ben
from Fitzroy Police Station,
that's a terrifying way to start a call because you sort of,
I kind of, you know, in my head you think, you know,
you try and go back over, is there anything dodgy that I've done recently where I've thought, all right, I've gotten away with this
and you know what I mean?
Like have I hit a parked car and driven away and this is,
and then like I did a quick stock take in my head and went,
well, I haven't done anything wrong.
I know I haven't done anything wrong.
So then I just got ready to go onto the offensive.
Like if he like said, oh, you've done this and go, no, that's bullshit, man.
But like, and then he's like, you know, let the air out and gone on this.
And I realized like, you know, being a cop so much of your day would just be
making those shit calls where you're going, yeah, your cat got loose.
We've got him for you.
That they must just live for that moment. Like the start of the call, where it's like getting to really
freak people out and make them think shit's gone down.
I love that you think that's a terrifying way for him to start the call, but what's
his other option?
You just answer and it's like, move your fucking car, mate.
Who's this?
Oh, it's Ben from Fitzroy Police.
Oh, sorry, Ben.
Or maybe they can get the message across in another way. You pick up, hello. Oh, yes, Ben. Or maybe, you know, they can get the message across in another way.
You pick up, hello.
Oh, yes, the cops.
What do they want?
I spend a lot of time in police stations because I lose things, like, regularly.
Like, I'm often in there, like, picking them up.
What, like, knives in people's bodies?
Children, things like that.
Drugs up your own arse.
or children, things like that.
Drugs up your own arse.
And I do feel sorry for the cops behind the desk doing that.
There's the admin cops, man.
That's the worst kind of cop, filling in those forms and doing shit jobs like that.
And they have to go through your wallet and check it's all there
and you have to sign.
Or like I was with you one time, Carl, when you lost your keys
and you had to go in to report it to the police station
and you're just looking at the guy behind the counter going,
is this what you thought it would be when you had to go through the training
and do all that?
Yeah, and it's 1am and he's just there.
It's got a Scooby-Doo key ring on it.
Yeah, they didn't film that for cops.
Well, the infamous, the lost podcast of the Will Anderson episode
a couple of weeks back. We should report that to the cops. We should, yes. What do infamous, the lost podcast of the Will Anderson episode a couple of weeks
back. We should report that to the cops. We should, yes. What do you mean a lost podcast?
Oh, well, it got deleted. Tommy deleted it. No, I did not delete it. Tommy lost it. I
did not lose it. Tommy Dasolo lost it. I did not lose it. If there's any police out there,
Tommy Dasolo. All right, fatty, carry on with the story. You ate it. You ate it. You got
hungry and you ate it. So you deleted a big name.
It was a lot.
Yeah, it was a big name.
It couldn't have been you.
It was a big, creamy, delicious name.
It was really long and Chandler just couldn't help himself.
Just had to chow down on it.
It couldn't have been Deanne Edmonds episode.
It had to be Willie Anderson.
Sorry about that.
Feel free to delete there.
Hey, I didn't get wet for no reason.
I want this shit on the internet.
Me neither.
Well, while we're doing the podcast, I got a missed call.
And then you know the messages that you get that instead of like a voice message, it types out the message?
Oh, no.
Have you never got that?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you leaving, Nick?
No, no, no.
Bart Freeband has left some on my phone.
Oh, right, yeah.
Nick? No, no, no. Bart Freeband has left some on my phone. Oh, right, yeah.
My message was
this is
what was it?
It was Detective Inspector. This is
Detective Inspector. Please call
me back on this number. And I've got it
in the middle of the podcast. I'm like, why are the
police ringing me? And then I went,
well, okay, let's just do it
on air. So I rang them back
and got a bit scared and then went, oh, am I in trouble?
And they're like, no, we just want to make another appointment to check your smoke alarm.
I'm like, what?
Who is this?
And they go, this is detector inspector.
Not detective inspector.
Okay.
It was a great moment and oh, we laughed and laughed and laughed.
Let's hit it, Tommy.
Let's play that bit of the show.
No, you know that can't happen. Is that in the, Tommy. Let's play that bit of the show. No.
You know that can't happen.
Is that in the Will Anderson episode?
Is that why we're talking about that?
Yeah.
You know the start of the story when I said it was in the Will Anderson episode?
Yeah.
It's a bit of dum-dum theatre what we're doing here.
We're reenacting our past conquests.
Midway through, Carl, telling that story, Cody got out and just laid a towel down on
his chair.
He thought, this payoff is going to be so good, I might shit my pants.
No, here's something.
Poor Telstra or Optus or whatever voiced a text.
It's had to try and distinguish what Bart Freeband has left.
Hey, Nick, it's Bart.
I'm really annoyed robot for me on your pala pala.
Thanks, buckle.
As if he would have said thanks What were they supposed to be?
They should have been Thunder Cheeks or something
Hi Phil Paco from Row Row Row
Is this an option you can choose when you go to Voicemail?
I don't think you choose it because I've got it
They just sign you up to it at the start
They give it to you for like a month And then it's six bucks a month from then on.
It does seem like a classic case of them rolling out a technology before it's actually ready.
Like I've never heard of someone getting one where it says exactly what the person said.
Yeah.
It just seems completely, like remember when they started putting the first cameras that were in phones,
they should just not have been cameras because they were so bad.
It takes less time to listen to the thing.
All the pictures were just Tetris games.
Yeah, exactly.
It was like this technology isn't ready.
Just sit on it for a couple of years.
But it will be.
Yeah.
And then it'll be great.
It's quicker to just listen to the voicemail than it is to read
the voicemail text and try and decipher what's being said.
Maybe they just know it's a fun game.
Maybe that's just it.
It is.
That's the best bit about it.
It's a novelty now.
I actually look forward to not only receiving them but giving them.
Yeah.
I don't have it on.
I want to turn it on.
Yeah.
They probably knew it would end up in a podcast with Will Anderson.
Yeah.
It'd be a big promo for them.
Yeah.
Classic Ed O.
Delete that. Delete the. Classic Edo. Delete that.
Delete the whole podcast.
Hey, don't run in our parade.
We've been saying great stuff.
What?
What is this?
Where am I?
We didn't steal this limelight for nothing.
Okay, what about this one?
You were talking about Sydney before.
I was in Sydney last week just for the day, Clang.
And I was with three other guys, a group of fours.
What were you doing up there?
I was doing some stuff for an ad that I am in.
Oh, nice.
Now, when you went through airport security with a silver spoon in your ass,
was that a problem?
Not sure.
I get that.
The fact that you were in an ad Yeah
Is awesome
Slash upsetting
Yeah
I went fucking yes
Yes
Yes
Because we all tried for that
At the same time
We did yeah
Yeah
Me, you, Chandler
Not Edmunds
Not Edmunds
No no
Edmunds tried to
She tried to
She turned up at the chemist
So
Edo
I deserved that And Quirk He up at the chemist. Edo.
I deserved that.
And Quirk.
He was at the chemist.
Yeah, Quirk, yeah.
That was amazing.
And how did it go?
Yeah, good.
It's going well.
So we had to go up for the day to do, like, re-record some,
like, dub some lines and stuff that they didn't quite get when we filmed it.
So anyway.
Wow. I was in a studio, big name drop. You've heard of them. Stuff that they didn't quite get when we filmed it. So anyway.
I was in a studio, big name drop.
You've heard of them.
Are you a random word generator over there?
Are you a voicemail text message?
I'm just a scrambled one.
Someone should hold an episode of this show up to someone's voicemail and see what the text message is.
No, you know what she is?
She's like one of those sound boards.
Yeah.
It's like someone's hitting the button on words that we've said
in the last half hour.
Yeah.
Or one of those Twitter programs where you can program
what time a tweet will actually come out,
and someone's programming, like, she'll be on the Dum Dum Show
at this point.
Clang.
At five to three.
Clang.
So I'm in Sydney for the day with these three other guys,
a group of four of us.
Our flight home was at 7 p.m.
We get to the airport at 5.30, got a bit of time.
So we have some dinner and then we decided to just go our separate ways
and just look around the airport.
We go, all right, flight's leaving at gate three at 7 p.m.
Meet at gate three, bit before.
See you guys there.
Were you sick of each other?
Yeah, a little bit.
So we go our separate ways and then me and two of the other guys,
so three of us, are at the gate three ready to go, about 6.40.
Nothing's really happening.
I'm thinking, you know, taking their time, you know, boarding this flight.
This is taking a while.
At about two minutes to seven, we get a call from this guy, Jamie,
who's the fourth guy in the group, going, guys, I'm on the plane.
Are you getting on?
Like, they're waiting for you.
Like, we're about to pull off.
Where are you?
And we're like, we're at gate three waiting to get on.
He goes, no, the flight's leaving from gate 10.
And we go, oh, fuck.
So we, like, race down the airport.
We get there.
The gate's closed off.
We can't get on.
Like, we've missed the flight.
Oh, you missed it?
Yeah, we missed it.
Luckily, we were able to transfer onto the next one without having to pay,
which was good.
I'm just fascinated by the form of this guy, Jamie, who has waited until the last possible moment to let us know.
I wasn't even angry.
I was just fascinated by the level of stupidity at play.
Why call us at all when it's too late to do anything?
You know what I mean?
Tommy, I'm not meant to be doing this.
It's Jamie here.
I'm at 35,000 feet.
I can't see you guys.
Are you guys going to make it or not?
It's like just no time for us to do anything about it.
I was like, I was flabbergasted by that as form.
That's weird, isn't it?
That is a little bit weird.
So was that a late change?
Why was it at a different?
I don't know.
And that was the thing too, was he knew that we'd all said gate three.
He, maybe they changed it or maybe we'd read it wrong.
Right.
But whatever's happened, he's made his way to gate 10.
So he sorted himself out.
Selfish.
He's gotten on the plane.
He's seen that we're not around.
And then as they're going, okay, we are about to taxi up the runway, it's like, oh, better
make a call.
So just to be clear, you're not angry at him for you making a mistake and going to the
wrong terminal?
No, I'm not.
That's good.
Yeah.
Calm yourself down there.
I like to think that he's gotten on a plane to the wrong place.
Well, then that's the other thing.
Like, I get really paranoid.
Like, I've only missed flights.
That's only the third flight I've ever missed in my life.
Was it with Qantas?
Yeah.
How good are they?
They're great, yeah.
Like, they just go, yeah, go on the next one.
Yeah, you're normally meant to pay, like, a rescheduling fee,
and she'd waive that.
Like, it was pretty.
It was fine.
But it's, like, any time I miss a flight, that's when I get paranoid
because you sort of think that's when those stories,
like in that situation where there's one of us on one flight
and then the other three, it's like what if his flight goes down
and then that's a thing where it's like, oh,
we should have been on that flight and we survived or like if our flight,
that's all the other way it would happen.
Our flight crashes, we all die and then he's just haunted for the rest of his life.
Good.
I should have called them earlier and given them more notes.
You know what I mean?
I think that's where shit goes wrong because then that's like a story.
He wasn't meant to be on this flight.
I've watched Big Bopper, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly.
Exactly, yeah.
I don't get scared of flying normally, but when there's a change, that's when I freak out.
I've watched all 11 seasons of Air Crash Investigations
because I love flying right.
Love it.
I'm flying a plane in a few weeks, actually.
Really?
I saw that.
I'm flying an actual plane.
Why?
A Cessna.
Because I can.
Are you a pilot?
No.
Is this a desperate attempt at fame by being on the 10.30 news?
Up and coming comedian Nick Cody perished today.
How do you fly if you're not a pilot?
What a sweet festival show for next year if I kill myself in a plane.
Are you sick?
Is this your make-a-wish?
I'm going to record my...
I want to put out a new DVD.
No, I've got a laptop.
I've got a laptop.
I'm going to record my new DVD on Black Box.
Yeah, that's Bart's idea.
We're going to do a live something for the drive home just on a Black Box.
And it'll probably sound better.
The quality of a plane hurtling down from 35,000 feet
will have a better sound quality than some of our
Something for the Drive Home episodes.
That'd be great.
That would be really great on a small flight.
You'd do your episode there.
Yeah, but you can just pay to fly a plane.
Surely air marshals would arrest you for the language
you use on your podcast.
Or what if Bart somehow ends up on the radio system
where he's communicating with a base somewhere
and people think there's bacon lasers coming through to invade Melbourne airport.
Hey, this is Minty Pirate 36.
We've got gravy tango.
It's going to be good times, I reckon.
So you're appearing in this ad,
and we're all looking forward to seeing this ad when it comes up.
How far away do you reckon this ad's going to be?
I actually don't know.
I think it's like a couple of weeks away.
Oh, really?
That soon?
From starting, yeah.
Are you getting the big bickies for it or what?
Yes, they're paying me in ecstasy.
And big ecstasy as well.
That's good.
Big bickies
it'd be good to get some money
wouldn't it
I went
oh is that a
is that a hint to us
just generally
no just in life
yeah in life
you want a piece of the sweet
t-shirt action
I get it
yeah
I went for an audition this week
this week gone by
for a fat guy
yeah
edo
yeah
someone's hit the soundboard and they've nailed it.
You've been listening, haven't you?
You little wonder.
Sorry, keep going.
Edo.
So anyway, I went for an audition for the new Fed Albert movie.
No, just as an audition.
Hey, hey, mate.
Yes.
Cody.
See, now that's how you do it, Anne.
Oh, God, I'm going to be cut if I delete this one.
Shit.
Whoops, my finger slipped.
Now, I went for an audition and we went in there.
It was one like the one we did together.
It was a group audition.
There was three people rather than just one person.
So we go in there and, you know, it's a bit weird because it wasn't like our one.
We all know each other and you get to riff with each other and it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
There's three people, three randoms, me, this other little guy and this big weird sort of guy.
And we got in there and the director or the girl in charge of it just sort of goes, right, so you guys go over there and work everything out.
And I've just got to set up the camera.
And I just sort of went right so you guys go over there and work everything out and i've just got to set up the camera and it was a um and i just sort of went work work everything out like what does that
what does that mean and it was an ad for where we played bank robbers that then rock up to a pub
straight afterwards and she goes go and work something out and i go what are we working out
so i just go and rub a bank yeah yeah so i just went okay well i'll just introduce myself to these
guys and i went oh hey what's your name what are you doing you know what's going on what have you I'll just go and rub a bank. Yeah. Yeah. So I just went, okay, well, I'll just introduce myself to these guys.
And I went, oh, hey, what's your name?
What do you do?
And you know, what's going on?
What have you been doing today?
And the little guy was sort of talking quite a bit and he seemed all right.
And the big weird guy just sort of didn't say anything.
He was just going like this.
Like, okay.
And so I'm like, are we working stuff out?
I don't know.
And then the lady comes over and goes, well, I need you guys to work out who you are in
the gang. You know, do a bit of improv. You know, you, you need you guys to work out who you are in the gang.
Do a bit of improv.
You work out your characters, your bank robbers.
What do you do within the gang?
And I'm like, oh, God, I'm not here for this.
He's the big one.
He's the little one.
I'm the fat one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
So basically they haven't written a script and they'd like you to do it for them.
You could just punch this up.
It was a writing audition rather than acting one.
Yeah, yeah.
So I go, oh, what's this?
And then all of a sudden the big fat guy speaks for the first time
and goes, I'm the mastermind.
All right.
Okay.
And I literally had to bite my tongue to stop from going,
oh, this will be good.
So he goes, I'm the mastermind.
And then she goes, okay, what are you guys going to be?
And I go, oh, I don't know.
I'm the getaway driver.
That's what I would have said.
And then the other guy hadn't spoke yet.
And then the fat guy just goes, he's the guy that goes in the vents.
he's the guy that goes in the vents.
I don't know if there needs to be a guy that goes in any vents in a bank robbery, is there?
People just go in and say, stick him up,
and then a guy jumps out of a vent and goes, surprise!
Well, based on this story,
it sounds like Ocean's 14 is going to be fantastic.
So anyway, the fat guy does that, right?
And then the girl's satisfied with that.
She goes, okay, I'll just go and set up the camera.
She doesn't care.
Yeah, she doesn't care at all.
She hasn't written it.
It's like you sit there, vent guy, and think about your character
and what sort of vents you go down or whatever.
And goes away.
You go down vents?
Yeah.
And goes away.
And then the fat guy, the mastermind, turns to us and goes,
have you guys seen The Dark Knight?
And I go, oh, I don't know if I have.
And the other guy goes, yes.
And he goes, well, you know what the Joker does?
The Joker's the mastermind.
You know what he does in the end of that, don't you?
And I go, what?
And he goes, kills all the other people that work for him.
Whoa.
Just to reiterate, we're in a beer commercial audition,
so you don't need to threaten us with death.
This isn't a rebooting of the beer commercial franchise
where they're trying to make it real gritty and dark and edgy.
We can just have fun. Yeah, it doesn't get to the end of the beer ad where they're all in the make it real gritty and dark and edgy. We can just have fun.
Yeah, it doesn't get to the end of the beer ad where they're all in the pub
and then one guy necks the other two and then skulls their pots
and goes, there you go.
Hey, drink that.
I've only had one audition this year.
It was for a kid's show.
Oh, yeah.
And I made a pedophile joke in the audition.
You know what's funny?
Sorry, you did or didn't?
No.
Right before you said pedophile, I was about to cut in and go,
you'd be great at that.
So that's a no-no, everybody.
Yeah.
All right, so what we've learned is don't threaten anyone with death
and don't make pedophile.
What was the pedophile joke?
Can you remember?
Oh, there's so many of them.
That famous pedophile joke.
Oh, no, because he said, oh, can you do that again but do it in a whisper?
And I was like, get out, kids, or something like that.
He'd go, oh, sorry, I sound like a pedophile.
He goes, that's the worst thing you could have said.
Coming on Monday.
Well, we were talking last episode with Moe Buttle about teaching and stuff
and how I think teaching is kind of, I think a lot of comics
tend to think that if comedy didn't work out,
they could maybe do teaching, you know,
because it's a lot of shared skills.
And there are a lot of comics who have taught and whatever else.
It seems pretty linked in.
I mentioned on the show before I sometimes do warm-up
for television show The Project.
I was doing it on Friday night and there was a media studies,
a year 11 media studies class in, a group of girls who were very excited
to be there.
So it was a lot like it was fun.
Sometimes it can be, you know, it can be a bit shit if the people there
are a bit, you know, cold or whatever.
But they were really great.
And I was kind of like pretending to be their teacher the whole time,
just like mucking around, having fun and whatever.
And in my head I'm like going, you know, I'm doing pretty well with these schoolgirls.
You know, maybe I could be a teacher someday.
If this didn't work out, this would be all right.
And then it gets to the very end of the show, and I'm sort of saying thanks for, thanks,
everyone.
You know, you've been great.
Rah, rah.
Have a good weekend.
And they're all sort of meant to stay in their seats because security have to debrief them
or whatever.
And as I'm talking to them, this one girl in the front row gets up and just sort of
starts walking off towards me. And then I thought talking to them, this one girl in the front row gets up and just sort of starts walking off towards me.
And then I thought this would be funny.
I've turned to her mid-sentence while I'm talking to other people.
I've turned to her and I've gone, sit down, like right in her face.
And midway through doing it, I was like, this is so uncool.
This is not a thing I should be doing.
She was terrified.
If you can imagine someone being scared of me,
like she was like shaking and nearly in tears and like all her friends were like having to comfort her. And I was like, I'm
so, I'm so sorry. I was just kidding around. And her teachers are looking at me going,
Jesus.
What is wrong with you?
Yeah. So I thought maybe that'll be the end of me. I'm meant to be doing it this afternoon
and I'm yet to receive a call saying I've gotten the sack. So I think I've got, I think
I got away with it. I think I got away with abusing a schoolgirl.
I think there's been special requests.
Some problem schools have been bringing in their naughtiest children
this afternoon.
Yeah, we've got a group from Juvie in this evening.
That's interesting that comedians want to be teachers.
I haven't had that discussion with them yet.
I don't think we need any more mentally unstable people
in the education system.
I think the police are going to try and find the guy that parked across three car parks
to come in and for you to scare him straight.
Yeah, well, that's me.
Yes.
Yes, I listened to this episode as well.
Edo.
Hey, I've got a bit of mailbag here.
Good.
Someone sent this in.
Let me just, where has he gone?
Okay, this guy, Greg Parker, sent me an email.
He's from Los Angeles, California.
Right.
He sent me a message to say,
I took the liberty of editing the Wikipedia page for the movie I just worked on.
It's much better now.
And he sent me the Wikipedia page for an upcoming movie.
The Dark Knight?
I wish.
It's not far off.
It's a movie that he apparently wrote.
Where the fuck has this thing gone?
Fatter Albert with Carl Chandler.
Fattest Albert.
It's a movie called The Getaway coming out in 2013.
Maybe that's the one you auditioned for.
It's an action thriller film starring Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez and Jon Voight, directed by Courtney Sullivan.
This guy wrote the film.
This guy who emailed us, he wrote the screenplay for this film with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, Jon Voight, Tommy Alsop,
sister of Australian actress Jane Alsop, lobbied for the role of the kid
but was teamed too feminine.
So that's on there now for an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster.
Awesome.
Did you really do that?
Oh.
No, Anne.
No, I did not.
Can you explain that joke to me?
Oh, okay.
Or after the show.
I don't think you can explain it in any clearer words than what he did just then.
There's a recurring thing of people putting us, mentions of us into Wikipedia pages.
Well, I don't know, do I?
Sydney's got good beaches, eh?
I don't have Wikipedia in the country.
I'll explain it like it was a focaccia.
It's too much spinach.
He's toasted it when he shouldn't have toasted it.
Okay.
Yeah.
That seems about fair.
Yeah, I get it now.
I get it now.
I don't.
Eddo.
So he wrote a movie.
That sounds stupid.
He wrote a movie. He wrote a movie.
He should have put us in the movie.
Yeah, I know.
I did think in terms of ways that you could get us into Hollywood,
he really has picked the very bottom rung of things that you could do.
Can I ask another question?
What's Hollywood?
Do you have a sister called Jane?
Actress Jane Alsop from Blue Heelers.
Is that your sister? Yes. Oh. Jane Alsop from Blue Heelers. Is that your sister?
Yes.
Oh.
It's not.
Carl.
It's just a...
You spoil, spoil.
I would have told everyone.
So was this kid's show that you auditioned for,
was it going to be where children teach you things?
Edo's copying it.
Yeah, were you auditioning to be a contestant on Now You See It?
This is called the little dum-dum club.
Look.
Little dull-dull club thing.
There's no way I'm smarter than a fifth grader.
Look.
I went to uni.
These guys will be sorry when our...
It took me five years to do a three-year degree.
These guys will be sorry when Fatsy and Dumbo gets picked up.
Hey, me and you. Fatsy and Dumbo gets picked up. Hey, man.
Fatsy and Dumbo.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I guess that brings us to the end of the little Dum Dum Club for another week.
Nick, Cody and Edmonds, thank you so much for joining us.
No worries.
Never coming in again.

So if you live in the country,
come and say hi.
I'm on at the local tonight.
Oh, yeah?
This won't be on until then.
No, absolutely not.
I don't think this will go out at all now that I think about it.
She was on at the local last Monday.
Do you have any listeners in the UK?
Yes.
Oh, you're doing Edinburgh?
Yes.
Yes, we do have listeners in the UK.
