Welcome to the Aunty Donna podcast, a weekly podcast where you go on cool adventures with
your best mates Broden, Mark and Zach.
And sometimes a very special guest, Tom.
That's how you fucking do it.
No, no, no.
Like this.
And if I would make a deal, a deal with God.
Sorry, that was a reference to the Sharp Family Singers.
Why?
Why?
Frola?
Sharp Family Singers.
Our favourite, our favourite singing family.
Of course.
They're a family of singers, they sing, they make their children do 15 posts a day.
Gentlemen, shut your cunt mouths for a moment.
I want to talk to our audience.
This week we are celebrating the release of the most upsetting guessing game on the Kraus House channel.
It's your favourite, most loved series from us. When we toured the world, people asked us in Manchester, in London, even in Boston.
Hey, when season...
And New York.
And New York, and all of them. It's just sort of...
And LA.
And in Perth.
And Seattle and Perth. Hey, Vancouver they asked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not Perth because... No, not Perth and Seattle and Perth. Hey Vancouver they asked. Yeah not Perth specifically. No not Perth.
They all came with that same question when season two of Mug coming out. Did they ask in Bath? Yeah.
Oh yeah a lot of people. Where is the next season and we're excited to tell you it's out. Dublin I
remember people were like. Where's Mug? This is in the VIP section Q&A. It's not during the show. We want to see
the season two of Mug and we're happy to announce it's there.
The most upsetting guessing game in the world.
Don't fuck with me.
Don't fuck with me.
Upsetting guessing game.
M-U-G-G.
That's a great abbreviation.
In the world.
We should sadly start working that in.
We want to let you know that Mug is available now or coming soon,
depending on when this comes out.
I've been around for like 700 years.
Shut up, Cun.
And to celebrate, we've got Tom in here to play a game where it started before it was
a TV series available to you on the internet.
We've brought it back to where it began.
Or a live show.
Or a live show, and maybe.
And on the Aun Auntie Donna podcast.
So we're going to play around right now.
What are we playing?
I'm done.
Now you fucking do it.
What are we playing?
I'm done.
I did my intro.
That was good.
It was good.
It was amazing.
What are we playing?
Playing party quacks.
I'm going to have my fucking smoothie.
What?
We're playing party quacks.
But I feel like we should maybe start rebranding it on the podcast.
To Mug. But maybe not, but maybe. Maybe,ing it on the podcast to Mug.
But maybe not.
But maybe.
Yeah, let's go Mug.
Pardon?
Most upsetting.
Mug is so when you're drinking a coffee in the morning.
Yeah, I know that.
That's what I thought, but he's telling me that Mug is most upsetting guessing.
Oh, M-U-G-G.
M-U-G-G.
We're thinking of making merch for Mug.
We're going to do Mug cups. Which I love. I think that's the funniest joke I've ever heard. We're thinking of doing Mug cups. Yeah, I think that's the book. For Mug. We're gonna do Mug Cups.
Which I love.
I think that's the funniest joke I've ever heard.
We're gonna do Mug Cups.
Yeah, I think that's absolutely fire.
Little cups with Mug written on them.
Hey, we should make sure we release this at the same time, because you know how we're
doing another season of Mug on grass.
Yeah, but that's what Broden's written down.
All that is explained already.
But we should release this at the same time.
I think that's the plan.
That's the plan.
And then also-
Yeah, it's getting released tomorrow is that what?
Yesterday oh yesterday, and I don't know if the live shows have happened. It's around now. Yeah, but we've also been doing
mug live
Hopefully hopefully what do you mean? Hopefully it's locked in isn't it?
No, we're doing a test show tomorrow night, and if you don't like it, Mark
We're not gonna do is that what I is that what I did. Yeah, Mark, we're not gonna do it. Is that what I did?
I thought we locked it all in.
No, no, no.
And then we're like, oh, okay.
Well, I hold all the power.
We are doing a test show that some of you fucking freeloaders have taken, gotten free
tickets to and are coming.
But this is coming out months from now.
Yeah, this is coming out months from now.
We did the test show and the people who attended it.
They loved me.
They loved Broden.
They loved Broden. They loved Broden.
They were fucking...
Muscles!
Broden got his muscles out.
Anyway, who's going to be the guesser?
Who would like to host?
The host is the party.
We should do a random name generator.
Or it could be you, Tom.
Thank you so much.
That was random. Tom is leaving the studio going into a soundproof a name generator. Or it could, or it could, yeah, Tom, it could be you. Thank you so much. All right.
So yeah, that was random.
Tom is leaving the studio going into a soundproof booth with music playing in his ears.
He will not hear the character traits that we're going to give this individual.
I reckon, I know that this is coming out at the same time as most upsetting guessing game,
but we haven't filmed it yet when we recorded it.
I do think we should do the soundproof booth aesthetic in the next season.
Just get, like go send them somewhere and put headphones on them.
I liked your idea of putting a paper bag over their head as well.
Yeah, that's fine. Blindfold them, headphones.
Shoot them in the head.
Well, you don't have to shoot them.
Make them stand with their arms up and if they drop their arms, they get zapped.
Well, this is starting to get into a weird, weird world.
Mark, you are a...
You are Mark.
Okay.
You're not playing.
Yeah.
So you're not playing. Yeah.
So you're not playing Most Upsetting Guessing Game.
We realised that based on time, and so any time you talk about it, you just say, we'll
cut this bit.
Yep.
But based on time, you thought it was better for you just to be someone helping him guess
ours.
Okay.
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. helping him guess ours. Okay, yep, yep, yep, yep.
And so when you say we'll cut this bit, you mean like anytime I'm talking, we're like,
we're probably just going to get me out of this.
I'm just here to help you.
You can say, you can say like, this is more a general note of you can say we'll cut this
bit to him, but we won't cut it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yep.
So you can explain it.
But basically, the idea is we talked about it and we realised that
three people guessing is too many, so you're just going to help him.
Yeah, great.
And about 25 years ago, your family, who are huge wealthy benefactors in Melbourne, went
to the opera in the city at Her Majesty's.
On the way home, your parents were gunned down by a lowly.
By Joe Chill.
Just some, yeah, well it depends.
And you realized from that moment.
Can the person that killed my parents be coffee hot?
Yeah, Joe Chill, yeah, coffee hot.
And so you've dedicated your wealthy life to to instead of sort of giving it back to the
community and trying to remove crime and you know, poverty, the things, you've dedicated
your life to getting big gadgets and gizmos and living your life with the alter ego Batman,
a vigilante who roams the night through Melbourne, stopping crime.
I love that.
I think that's two more.
No, just layers on the Batman thing.
No one knows that apart from a few girlfriends in different periods of your life who became
Vicky Bale.
Nicole, Kim Moon, Al Macpherson.
A lot of Australians in the...
Kim Basinger.
But he can't know that because you're you're Mark, which is the three girls.
None of us know that.
But you did just find, you thought, I like Coffee Hot but I would like to propose, because
I think Tom will like this because Tom's a bit of a movie buff.
You did think it was an anonymous mugger.
Was it Jack Napier?
But you just found out that it was Jack Nicholson's Joker.
Not Jack Napier, the character, Jack Nicholson's Joker.
He has to specify that it was Jack Nicholson's Joker.
And he, and there's a general vibe that Tim Burton's flair is in this world.
When you're Batman, not when you're Mark.
The flare of film, like filmic flare of Tim Burton.
Yeah, that gothic.
But nothing from the Batman movie, like, just like maybe Danny Elfman scoring, like not
Batman, so like bit of Big Fish, bit of... Yeah, yeah, yeah, just that general like, m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m We need to pick that up from just the vibe. Cool. Alright, I got that. Planet of the Apes as well.
Yeah.
Broden, you are,
you are a pile of pebbles,
but the pebbles are so small,
that they're so small,
and they're all the different colours of you,
that you wouldn't be able to tell that
you're a pile of pebbles unless I looked really, really...
So it's almost rather than atoms.
You have pebbles instead of atoms.
You have pebbles instead of atoms.
And can you be, you are terrified of milk because your pebbles and if you were to be covered in milk.
Or even take a drink of milk.
Or even take a drink of milk, then essentially you're becoming cereal.
Yeah.
Like a forbidden cereal.
So you don't drink milk or engage with milk in any way out of the fear that you will become
forbidden cereal.
Great.
And also you're just not a fan of crop tops.
You just don't like the look of them.
Don't like the look of crop tops.
For you.
For you.
It's not, you just, you wouldn't wear a crop top.
But you would wear a choc top.
Alright, so I'm made out of atom sized pebbles that make up my body to the point where you
can't even see them.
So they're pebbles but horrified of milk for the fear that that would make me into a bowl
of cereal.
Forbidden cereal.
Forbidden cereal.
Why forbidden?
Because you can't eat pebbles.
And then on top of that I'm just not into crop tops.
They're not for me.
I don't like them. I wouldn't wear them.
But I would wear a chock top.
That's good.
Yeah.
All right.
Zach.
Yeah.
You are, because Zach will, I mean, Tom will love this.
Yeah.
Your every premiere that Victoria's ever had.
Oh, this is hard for me.
So people like Joan Kerner, Dan Andrews, Ted Bailiu, Steve Brax. From
his birth, so 1990. So who was before Kennett? I think Joan Kerner. Okay. But we can look
this up. But yeah, I would say I think you are an amalgamation of all of these. Kenneth Brax. There's a Brumby in there. Brumby. So what you are essentially.
Tell me if this is a whether this is right or not Burrata. I'm like you are the premier
premiere of Victoria because you are a combination. Yeah. Yeah. Of all the premieres. So you are the premier and please don't forget just into Alan
Who our current premier is. Oh I did forget her. Who's the one that was before Dan?
Yeah, Dan Andrews. I'll talk about Burberry Coats walking around in his Burberry Coat. He'll get that.
I don't think he will. So I'm the premier premier
I don't think he will. So I'm the premier premier. Yeah. Because I'm made of every premier, I'm made of bits of every premier. Dennis Napthine. Oh yeah, can you be? Every premier
since the one before Jeff Kennett. I'm gonna get the list up for you just to be very clear.
Can you give him, has he got enough layers do you think? Um. Yeah, give me more while he looks up
the list. Okay, great. So you're the premier, premier.
Are we doing it where you're sort of like a Frankenstein figure where each different
part of you is from a different premier?
I think it's the best traits.
So we're going to go, just for clarity, Jacinta Allen, Dan Andrews, Dana Snapthine, Ted Bailieu,
John Brumby, Steve Brax, Jeff Kennett, Joan Kerner.
And, uh, and you are on a runaway train.
Now-
Bullet train?
Pardon?
Is a bullet train with Brad Pitt?
No, I was thinking like an old timey steam, steam train.
Okay.
And um-
But Brad Pitt's on it.
But Brad Pitt is on it.
Brad Pitt is on this old time runaway train on the...
Yeah, and so through the course of
You talking to Tom. I hate this game. Yeah, it's awful. I forget how much I hate it. It's not fun. Through the course of your...
I remember saying maybe we could do another podcast out of this today. That's not happening.
Through the course of your conversation with Tom you
Get into the, you know, where the
train conductor lives, realise that the brakes have been broken off and you are figuring
out how to stop the train in mime.
With no words.
On a podcast?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Well, you can, uh, you, all right, so you have to mime it.
I have to describe the mime.
You have to describe the mime.
Yeah.
So, just so I'm clear, so we have it locked down for me, because we don't have the visual
aid that the web series has, I am the premier premier
because I'm made of every premier of Victoria, which is the sort of the leader of the state,
you know, like a governor for those listening overseas, since who was the first one?
Since 1990, so Joan Kerner.
Since Joan Kerner.
Just for clarity, not 1990, from. Yeah, from August 10, 1990.
From 1990.
Also, I'm on a runaway train that Brad Pitt happens to also be on.
Yeah, he's just there.
And I am making my way through the train.
I get to the engine room and I have to stop the runaway train using nothing but the description of my miming.
Yeah, so you have to do that in third person. You have to be like, Zach does this.
Great.
Okay, and I'm Pebbles that are afraid of being cereal, they forbid cereal.
Pebbles the size of atoms.
Crop tops, choc top. Yep. I am not
playing the game. I'm just Mark. I'm helping Tom guess because otherwise
we're gonna run out of time. But also my parents were murdered after seeing a
show at Her Majesty's and I have become that I'm a wealthy benefactor and I
protect the streets of Melbourne at night as Batman, which nobody knows. No, but you cannot. And who killed your parents?
Jack Nicholson's Joker. Great.
And there's an air of?
There's an air of Tim Burton sort of filmic flair.
Tim Burton flair is about...
Great, Tom's going to nail this.
We're at 15 minutes.
Great.
Really good.
He'll get this in 10. With my help. We've made it minutes. Right. Really good. He'll get this in 10.
With my help.
We've made it easy, man.
Tom is back.
We've made it a little bit easier because we're already 15 minutes deep.
Yeah.
So I'm just going to help you guess.
Okay, great.
If that's alright.
Is one of your quirks that you're helping me guess?
It's more that I am helping because we've what how long have we got?
15 minutes 15 minutes. Yeah, it's more just because of a time crunch. Yeah, sure Yeah, because I was out there for ages. I just had a full conversation with Nick
For a long time and I was like, this is no quick. This is a bad decision by you guys. Oh, no
No, it's gonna be fine. We'll get you through this. Okay, so Mark's quirk is that he's trying to help me and allay my fears
I'm gonna have to go this is gonna be no I'm not of how difficult this is gonna be. No, I'm not playing.
You're not playing at all?
No, I'm helping you.
You're just not... But you've heard them though.
Pardon?
You've heard the quirks.
Yeah, but it's like I'm just going to...
Kinda like... I'm like a warmer, colder type thing.
Yeah, okay.
Can we just start the game?
Yeah, I'm gonna lean on you, but I feel like the game has already started.
I think I've started.
What happened?
What happened?
What happened? Alright, I don't know what's going on here. I feel like the game has already started.
All right. I don't know what's going on here.
Oh, come in, please.
Welcome to my party.
Hey man.
Hi, how are you doing?
Good.
Thank you.
What's your name?
I'm Broden.
Oh, hey Brody.
How are you?
It's the old Broden you know, same build as you, made entirely the same thing as you.
Yeah, right.
So you're a human.
Cause he's human.
Is he? Oh, because he's the same thing as you. Yeah, right. So you're human because he's human. Hmm, is he?
Oh, because he's the same build as me.
So do you mean like height and weight?
Yeah.
Nice shirt by the way.
Thank you.
This is Linen.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
I like that.
So it's safe.
Nothing, nothing, nothing being revealed.
So are you like me in the sense that every-
But could it be eaten at a cinema?
Okay.
Oh, so this is something about Jam Factory.
Cause we're talking about Jam Factory and how far it's fallen from Grace recently.
No?
Come in.
Hello.
Hi, how are you going?
Good, thank you.
I see him walking around in his Burberry coat, you know, but I've got to say everything is
better when done through the private sector.
That's why I love the Hawks so much.
So you're some form of politician.
And I made Mikey.
You made Mikey.
And I come from a lot of money, you can tell because one of the libraries at Melbourne
University shares my name.
I remember Mikey. I remember when that came into this goddamn city.
I don't.
Pardon?
Mark, is he doing a good impersonation of the politician he's playing? Well, is he playing one? That's my question.
Is he gonna do all of them again? Because I couldn't name a single Prime Minister of the country.
I didn't say anything.
Well, and let me tell you, I am happy to work with the Prime Minister.
I'm happy to work with the Prime Minister.
Yeah.
Even if they're the same party as me, I'm happy to work with the Prime Minister,
but only if it benefits the state.
And that's why I love the Hawks, but I do think that everything is better private, and
that is why I'm privatizing everything at the moment.
What about all those hoity-toity types walking around in their Burberry coats, and that's
why we have to close down.
Who is?
Again, we have to shut down.
Who's the president, the ex-president of the Hawthorne Football Club?
I don't know.
Come on, Mark, you're supposed to be helping me.
I don't know.
Um.
Naval Jones?
Naval Jones, no.
They were, they're also on the chair for Beyond Blue.
They shut down a lot of public schools.
That was like their whole thing.
They sold off a lot of land and stuff.
Terry Beaton.
And I have to say it was disgraceful that he did that.
That's why I wanna be returning to more public sector things.
That's why, although I have let people down
with the public housing.
And that's why we have to go into another shutdown.
I disagree with some things being said,
but I respect what they're wearing.
It's all normal.
Yeah, I'm not gonna walk around in a Burberry coat.
But that'd be fine for me.
I don't know what a Burberry coat is, but there's some fashion layer going on with both
of you.
And I got to say, that's why we're bringing in the Mikey.
Enough of the old one, more of the new one.
What was the old one, the Connex?
I'm from Ballarat originally.
Ballarat?
I'm from Ballarat originally.
And I'm the first female in this role.
Yeah, right. And I, but I, and I want to, and I, and I, and it's going to be hard to take it on, but
he, you know, really with the public housing, I think he let, he let himself down a little
bit and he had a bit too much power.
And now I'm excited for the future.
You took over from Jeff Kennett.
Well, yes.
And also I, he bet me and also I am.
From where I'm sitting, I bet I look normal.
Yeah, you do.
Because basically I am.
Basically you are.
And water's fine, water, coffee.
I was going to have some breakfast.
Did you have any breakfast?
No, I'm cool, thank you.
Would you like some breakfast?
I'm very chill. You'd love a, or actually no time. No time. You don't you have any breakfast? No, I'm cool. Thank you. Would you like some breakfast? You'd love a...
Or actually, no time.
No time.
You don't have time for breakfast?
Like, you can walk around in your Burberry coat
talking to the celebrity that's here.
But I have to get to the front of this thing
and stop it before we all die.
What's a Burberry coat?
I don't. I honestly don't know.
Well, you know, that's no wonder he's not in touch.
Would you like some breakfast?
Yeah, sure. What do you got?
We've got toast.
Great.
We got eggs.
Yeah.
And I've got some NutriGrain here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you want the NutriGrain?
Yeah, I'll just have that dry, thanks.
Dry?
No milk.
You're scared of milk.
And you're an Iron Man.
Mark, are you an Iron Man?
Closer, yeah.
Not an Iron Man.
No. Mark, are you an iron man? Closer, yeah. Not an iron man. No, a man who dresses in a metal suit and flies around clearly is delusional.
That sounds delusional to me.
The kind of man that would do that would have kooky hair and long fingers.
Kooky hair and long fingers.
I'm here to help you, by the way.
Yeah, I know. I'm trying to lean on you.
I'm trying to take you at your word and lean on you
and it's not going well for me.
So toast, I'll go toast and just the dry NutriGrain, thanks.
So you're scared of milk then.
No, not nearly, please.
Milk, milk, milk, milk, milk.
He's not that scared, I guess.
Well, you just said it a lot and I sort of ran out of,
but why, what are you talking about?
I'm trying to find out what a berber code is, what politician Zach is, what...
It's an insider.
...layer of fashion you're all talking about,
because you're all some form of politician thingy as well, and fashion thingy.
Oh, no, no, no, I don't deal with politicians.
Are you above that?
Well, unless they are going to help this godforsaken city.
Are you all some form of like DC politician?
So not like a real world politician?
No, no, no, I don't deal with politicians.
I'm too busy going to parties and liaising with the many beautiful women I have in my
life.
Yeah, right.
Each in a different coloured dress. Oh, wow.
But, yeah, it was through...
I'm not playing.
Not your fault, not your fault.
I'm not playing.
It was through...
Not your fault, all my fault, my fault.
...privatising the docklands and privatising that side of the river,
that we were able to bring more services to the state.
And that's, I'm proud of that.
Yeah, sure.
And that is why I'm going to have to go into another shutdown, I am afraid.
Are you Dan Andrews?
We have to get together again.
Because that's what we did in the Love, Dan.
And look, we loved Dan, we loved Dan, but I'm the new leader.
I've got a different take on things.
Oh, is there a new one?
I'm a new person.
Is there a new leader?
I'm a new person and I'm going to take inspiration from the first female in this role over 30
years ago and I am that woman.
We're gonna, Zach, we're gonna either have to Google or play charades.
Are we gonna get to the front though?
Are we gonna Google or are we gonna play charades here?
Well, I, what are you talking about?
Because I don't know any of these politician types.
Well, who have I done, Tom?
You've done Kenneth, I think.
You've done Dan Andrews, I think.
Because you keep talking about shutting down.
He was the only one in power when we went into lockdowns, I believe.
Except for when he got sick and there was someone else.
So he's done a couple.
He's done a couple.
So are you every Victorian Premier?
Oh.
Well, if he was every Victorian Premier.
Ever.
Yeah.
What would that make him? Oh. Well, if he was every Victorian Premier. Ever. Yeah.
What would that make him?
That would make him an omnipotent amalgamation of Premiers.
I don't know.
I'd be the best.
I'd be the number one.
The best Premier of all time.
Or?
Or the worst Premier of all time.
No, no, no, no.
If he was the best, what would that make him if he was a Premier?
He was the best Premier. Why do make him if he was a premier?
He was the best. Why do you think they call me the premier?
La Premier, which is the opposite of Jam Factory.
It's the one that they show at Village.
What does premier mean?
Why am I the premier?
Why am I the premier?
Turn around and walk back to where you were.
Do you guys remember that?
Anyway, I got to get to the front of this thing.
I got to get to the front of this thing. I got to get to the front of this thing.
Fix it.
And is that who I think it is?
It's funny.
He's on a train because you know, he did that movie last.
Who did a movie?
You know, he did that movie.
Who did a movie?
A couple of years ago.
This is a different kind of one.
Oh, on the train.
On a train.
Movie on a train.
I love movies.
Snowpiercer.
I would wear the accoutrement you eat at them.
You would wear the accoutrement that you would eat at
At the movies. Well, let's- at the movies at Gold Class, La Première. Well, stop saying La Première.
Let's go back to it. If he is the best premiere. Yeah
He's all the premieres. Yeah. What would that make him? Why did that cinema call itself La Première?
What does that say about it says?
We're the next level up we can you have a glass of wine and it was a premier cinema experience a very
Yeah, then you'd be the gold class of
What's another cinema bread you'd be banging on about our village
What's another cinema brand you've been banging on about? Uh, Village.
Or what else?
So remember how there was, you go to Jam Factory and there was Gold Class at one, but what
was the name of that other one?
The other one?
I can't remember.
There was Gold Class, there was Gold Class, but then there was also?
At the same cinema.
Or whatever you were just saying.
Oh, the La Première.
Oh!
Yeah.
And that was the best of cinema.
And I'm the best cinema experience.
And he's the best premiere.
So I am?
No, no, you've lost me.
If I'm the best premiere?
Yeah.
Then you would be the La Première.
And what am I?
The la premiere of Victoria.
The best premiere?
The best premiere.
Would be the?
Would be the premiere gold class.
This is when we're getting into the show.
Say that again.
Say that again.
You were so close yet unnecessarily far away. Yeah, OK. Say that again! Say that again! You were so close yet unnecessarily far away.
Yeah, okay.
Say that again.
Because you guys made me feel like La Premiere was so wrong, but now you sort of come back to it.
Well, we're using it, because you were all using it.
We're using what you got.
We're using what we got.
What did you just say he was?
The best Premiere, therefore, is a gold class A1 La Premiere Premiere.
Oh! What was that last two words you said? Therefore is a gold class A1 La Première Premier.
Oh!
What was that last two words you said?
I think the La Première Premier.
I am the La Première Premier.
Now get rid of La.
Alright, you are the Premier Premier.
I am the Premier Premier.
What does that mean?
That is one of those words that don't make sense when you say it. I'll tell you why.
Because I have the strength, the abilities, the knowledge of all.
Of all.
So you are omnipotent?
No, no, no, no.
I'm here.
Not really.
And I'm ready to tackle these problems.
Yeah.
Such as all these public sectors.
I need to privatise them.
No, no, no.
You've got to stop doing that.
And all these COVIDs.
I need to shut it down. Yeah, okay. And what are you doing about crime? Oh, well, crime, I'm hard on crime, but I also see it
as a social issue and that's why I'm building the Outer Loop. And why, and why, so you very centrist.
In the 90s we're experiencing great debt in this state. Yes, and that's why I'll be selling off a
lot of the public sector. And what do you think about the 2006 Commonwealth Games?
The 2006 Commonwealth Games, I'm excited.
I'm going to put in a bid for it.
I'm excited we got it.
And I'm here, ready to put it on.
What about 1980s opinions of Victorian politics?
You know, I had them when I was a student.
Maybe I was a kid then, but no, not for me. I've got nothing to do with the 80s.
WILL 88?
ZAC Nope.
WILL 89?
ZAC Nope.
WILL 1990?
ZAC Yeah, I'm ready to tackle the problems.
WILL So you've been around since the 90s?
ZAC Well, we all have. I have.
WILL So are you all the premieres since the 90s?
Since you've been alive, Zach?
Perhaps.
Since what year do you reckon?
You were born in 89.
So I reckon 89 makes the most sense.
All the premieres that have existed since Zach's been alive.
Or?
Since?
Or since I've been alive.
No, it would be the same thing.
89 was close. 89're the same age.
89 was close.
89 was close.
It was from 90 then.
The 90s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's it.
What are they?
Yeah.
Who are they?
Who are they?
Like the actual people.
Are we going to Google or are we going to charade?
You can Google.
I don't know.
Yeah, let's Google.
That's what you guys do.
All right, so.
But I just don't think you're hard enough on crime.
Yeah, right. I think. I think you're hard enough on crime. Yeah, right.
I think.
I've both been the hardest on crime and I've been the hardest on crime.
Yeah, but you're not what this city deserves.
Oh, so you were talking about Joan Kerner.
Not that I would know.
I'm too busy drinking champagne.
I am she.
Yes, you're Joan Kerner.
And throwing delicious parties with my friends.
Sorry Mark, I've tuned out for a second while I'm googling.
I'm so sorry.
Well, it's alright.
I'm so sorry.
I just need to get this right.
I'm just trying to help you.
I'm not even playing.
You actually helped me with anything.
As long as there's no m-m-m-milk.
Milk.
So your Joan Kerner, Jeff Kennan, Steve Brax.
I forgot about Steve Brax.
John Brumby.
Never heard of John.
Ted Bailey.
Library reference. Dennis Napthner.
The Bailey's.
They're very wealthy.
Andrews and Jacinta Allen.
Dennis Napthner.
And when all of those, when all of those Premiers are together.
They become the Premiere Premier.
Yeah.
That's great.
I gotta get to the front of this thing while you deal with these two.
Just keep that milk away from me.
Why?
I wonder why.
Should we head to my lab?
Yeah, sure.
Let's go to your lab, Mark.
Okay, yeah.
I mean, I have a lab.
Okay, so you're some kind of scientist.
Why do you have a lab?
Why would you need a lab, Mark?
Mark, that's very strange.
Look, I run various R&D.
Experiments.
Why are you in such good shape?
Well, you know, you have to be, because I'm working
hours that, you know, I've got a whole thing to run here. Why is the jaunty tunes of Danny
Elfman playing behind us? Look, I'm not playing the game. Are you some movie character that
I've never seen before? Who's a Johnny Elfman movie? Who's a Johnny Elfman? Who has a lab?
Look, all I know, I don't know, like...
Stick on that. Who is a Johnny Elfman type?
So I think Johnny Elfman did the theme for Jurassic Park, which had scientists in it.
Yes, yes.
Johnny Elfman, yes.
Johnny Elfman did the theme for Jurassic Park, which had scientists in it.
I mean, Dan Elfman.
No, Johnny Elfman's a mix of John Williams and Danny Elfman.
That's right, John Williams did the music for Jurassic Park.
So I was barking up the wrong tree.
So it is Dan Elfman.
And the trees in Melbourne, you wouldn't want to bark up the wrong trees in Melbourne.
No, you wouldn't.
They are full of...
Pollen.
Possums is what I meant to say
You're acting like you're blind and eucalyptus yeah, yeah, you are blind as you are you are blind to what is as a bat the trail
Are you scared of bats? Are you Batman and you scared of bats? I'm I know not what you're talking about
Let's go to my lab. Let's go to my lab. Hans Zimmer did the music for Batman. Let's go to my lab.
So Batman has a lab.
Hans Zimmer did the music for later Batman's.
But also...
Oh, you're talking about, did Danny Elfman do one of the earlier Batman's?
Look, I'm alone, I'm very introverted, and I like kind of gothic looking shit.
Come into my lab.
Oh, you're one of the really early ones, like the guy who did the Edward Scissorhands.
Yeah. Are you getting, what's that, who's he? Oh, you're one of the really early ones, like the guy who did the Edward Scissorhands.
Yeah.
Are you getting, what's that, who's he?
Oh.
Say some names.
Just say some names.
What's your name?
Edward Scissorhands.
You're not allowed to look this way.
No.
You know, Dan Elfman?
No, no.
For some reason, it's not Edward Norton, but Norton's come into mind.
That's good.
It's an N.
But not Norton.
No, no, no.
You're right on the shape of the last name.
Tim Burton.
So which Batman did he do?
I didn't know he did a Batman.
Or did he do the one with Penguin?
Batman.
1966 Batman.
And it was Michael Keaton as the bat.
Yes, Michael Keaton in 1966. Michael Keaton as a bat. Yeah, yes, Michael Keaton in 1966.
Michael Keaton played a bat.
But look, I'm aware of all of that stuff.
There's a certain, you know, in the atmosphere, there's all of that.
So what is that?
In the air.
It's just in the air.
So there's an air of...
Of Batman.
Of...
Of the essence of bats.
Of...
Of...
You had it before.
It's not Zimmer.
There's no Zimmer going on.
Oh, it's Danny Elfman.
No.
There's spooky music.
But there's no Zimmer.
There's no...
I feel like I'm just watching Nightmare on Elm Street or I'm watching Ed Wood or I'm
watching...
Spooky horror film.
Big Fish. Nightmare on Elm Street was where's Craig. Wood or I'm watching Spooky Horror. Big Fish.
Nightmare on Elm Street was Where's Craig?
Let's not confuse the boys.
What do I mean? What do I mean? Nightmare Before Christmas.
Christmas.
Nightmare Before Christmas, I remember.
Or I'm watching Big Fish or I'm watching Planet of the Apes.
Or I'm watching the Willy Wonka remake.
You already said the name.
Did I?
It's an heir of...
So The Things I've Got Rises, Danny Elfman and Tim Burton.
So the things I've got right is Danny Elfman and Tim Burton. Yeah!
So who made the 1966 Batman film with Michael Keaton as a bat?
Tim Burton.
So there's an heir of?
Bertinesque in the air.
Yeah!
Sure!
Or?
He's certain.
What does he do?
He does like, he does pizzazz, he does style, he does vibe.
He does an heir of vibe.
Oh, close.
Air's the closest.
An air because I was gifted air.
An air of Tim Burton.
Rhyme it.
An air of Tim Burton.
He brings a little, je ne sais quoi, a little bit of an air of Tim Burton.
Would be a curtain.
No, rhyme it with air.
An air of Tim Burton curtain.
Air, bear, where, tear.
Oh, I'm stuck on a desert island and I need to get the helicopter's attention.
A flare.
Tim Burton-esque flare.
Yes.
An air of Tim Burton-esque.
You have Tim Burton flare.
As?
As Batman.
Well, yeah, no. Because you got a lab but I'm not
playing well hang on mark what happened to your parents I don't I don't like to
talk about were they if you want it if you would know about that look it up it's
in every major paper yes are you gonna go to the library and look it up like
they know fucking machines no you can just use your phone. Okay, great. It's fine. Your parents were murdered over a little pearl necklace.
Yeah.
That's what they were.
Because we were coming out of...
At the back of a gold class, in fact, jam factory gold class.
No, no, we were in the...
La Premiere.
We were in the CBD.
In the CBD.
So is there a jam factory in the CBD?
I can't, I can't look.
Thank God.
Mariners run a fair few venues.
What are they? Mariners. Yeah. It's a premiere. Is it a jam factory in the CBD? I can't look. Mariners run a fair few venues. What are they?
Mariners?
Yeah.
It's a premiere.
Is it a Keno?
No, it's a Mariner.
It's a Mariner.
I've never heard of a Mariner.
What were they going to watch?
They were going to watch a movie.
No.
Sometimes they were.
Oh, were they going to watch a musical or a theatre show perhaps?
Yeah.
And where?
At the Comedy Theatre.
No.
Was there an actual theatre in Gotham?
Is it like a known theatre? It's in the comedy theatre. No. Was there an actual theatre in Gotham? Is it like a known theatre?
It's in the Melbourne CBD.
Okay, so you've got the comedy theatre, you've got the Athenaeum, you've got...
I'll tell you what, when the Queen died that really hurt.
Her Majesty's.
Oh!
Up on Spring Street.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Her Majesty's is great.
Her Majesty's.
I thought it was Hamer.
I misremembered.
But I hope they catch that bastard.
Who did it?
Who did it?
Do we know?
Well, I have my suspicions.
They say it was just some anonymous thug.
Yeah, that's what the papers will tell you.
Yeah, no, it was actually a hit.
It was a secret.
Who was it?
Who would be after Batman's parents at Her Majesty's Theatre?
I tell you what, whoever it was flew over the cuckoo's nest.
Oh right, that's another film I haven't seen.
I tell you whoever it was needs to go to anger management classes.
Who needs to go to anger management classes?
That's about Schmidt.
God, I remember the lights at the time was shining. You know, hang on,
let me work out this clue, right? Cause there was a Batman guy who got really angry and yelled at
everyone on set. Is that what we're talking about? No, not talking about Christian Batm. Okay, okay.
I'm talking about the lights at the time was shining. Okay, lights were shining. The guy who
went should go to anger management classes. Yep. Must have been a real nutcase because it felt like he flew over the cuckoo's nest
The other cruise is nice, which is a movie haven't seen so that's not helping something's got to give here
Yeah, so he knows Nancy Myers
So it's just some crazy person like or a crazy actor or all an actor an actor loves the Lakers
Well, if it was that her majesty who loves the oh Jack Nicholson
Well, not Jack Nicholson.
Jack Nicholson played the Joker, I think. Yeah, so it was the Joker who killed your parents.
Well, it wasn't the Joker, it was...
Someone...
Who's Joker?
One of the Joker... It was a Jack Nicholson's Joker.
So what happened?
So Jack Nicholson's Joker killed your parents.
At?
At Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne.
And Mark is? Mark is now a
an orphan. And then I became? You became Michael Keating's Batman. With a flare of Tim Burton's
Batman. Very good. But yeah. The thing you said when you first came in? And also you're pretending
to help me because you're making up like we're running
I'm not playing the game here. We don't know you're pretending to not play the game and help me
But you're actually not now come to my lab. Okay, and then you're a scientist
Well Batman's a little isolation. I mean coming to my I think actually he's more of a detective. Well, he's actually
multifaceted
That's the newest Batman. I don't know. Well, yeah elements of all the elements of the oldest Batman. You've got elements of all the Batman.
You've got me.
Are you sure?
I'm not sure that I'm playing.
You've got me.
No, no, we've got to get to the front of this thing.
Don't get distracted by the star power.
Okay.
I know you're probably looking there and going
I want to ask about Jolie.
I want to ask about Jan Aniston. I want to ask about Jolie, I want to ask about
Jen Aniston.
Will you at the Oscars?
I want to ask about the fact that he's doing, oh, he's probably read Tarantino's next script.
But we're not going to get distracted by him or the fact that, apropos that he's on this
vehicle when he just did a film about a faster version of this vehicle.
Faster version of the vehicle.
So it's not Snowpiercer.
That's the only train for my mouth.
Although that is close.
It's close.
It's not just in terms of the vehicle.
Yeah.
Because it's a train.
So that chucks out Mad Max.
So it's not a Mad Max thing.
Because that's vehicles.
Let's leave that.
And just focus on train.
Who could that celebrity be?
He's gorgeous.
He is gorgeous.
Still, I think better looking.
Barely aged.
I want to snatch him up. Is this a Paul Rad thing? And just focus on Trane. Just focus on Trane. He's gorgeous. He is gorgeous.
Still, I think better looking now.
Barely aged.
I want to snatch him up.
Is this a Paul Rudd thing?
I feel like you guys do Paul Rudd bits.
No.
No.
He's aged, but he looks great.
He looks great.
He does, yeah.
Which is apropos considering.
I haven't seen him since we saw him at that movie cinema in Hollywood.
Hollywood, who did we see at a, who did you see at a Hollywood cinema?
On the screen we saw them.
Oh, we saw, on the screen we saw them. You know, he was, he was beautiful in Interview with a Vampire or his debut Thelma and Louise.
Never heard of themselves.
But even now in-
Seven.
In seven.
Seven. Hang on, hang on. Brad Pitt.
But we can't get distracted by the fact that he happens to be on this vehicle, which is a-
Okay, so Brad Pitt's on the train.
Yes, but quickly, quickly, we've got to get to the front. Okay. We have to get to the front. There's steam everywhere. We've got
to stop it. Okay. So is there a movie where Brad Pitt's got to get to the front of the
train? It's fine. He was in a movie called Bullet Train that's actually on the other
line. But I was thinking of another train film. Let me just get this out. No, you don't
need to. No, no, no. It's called... It't need to. It doesn't matter. There's nothing... Don't worry about it. It's a waste
of time and energy.
It's like a guy who was a karate guy.
It does not matter.
Karate guy.
It does not matter.
Who's like a karate guy.
I think you're just thinking of Fuller Train.
Don't guess!
And he also does the exact same film but on a boat.
Speed.
Oh, Undersiege.
No, not speed.
Undersiege.
Which is what...
Undersiege 2 was on the train.
On the train. Steven Seagal.
It was on the boat in the first one.
I used to watch Steven Seagal with my father back on the train. On the train, Steven Seagal.
I used to watch Steven Seagal with my father back in the day.
Yeah, people loved Steven Seagal.
I don't know why, my dad loved Steven Seagal.
He's a proper crazy person.
And not good at any of that.
Didn't he punch John Leguizano?
He's terrible.
Tom, this has got nothing to do with it.
Please don't take any of that into account.
Train movies with Brad Pitt.
We'll get back to the lab in a second.
The train movie with Brad Pitt is done.
Oh, okay.
So we've guessed.
It was just to let you know that Brad Pitt was on this.
On the train that we're on.
Yes.
Which is what kind of train?
Well, it's a steam train, obviously.
And it's, but it, oh my goodness.
It keeps on going.
It keeps on going.
So is it like...
A train that keeps on going.
What do you call that? Well, that's like... You can't stop it. That's the train in Snowpies. It keeps on going. So is it like… A train that keeps on going. What do you call that?
You can't stop it.
That's the train in Snowpiss.
It never stops.
That's the whole thing.
That's how they keep on going.
No, that's good when that happens.
When this happens, it's bad.
Oh, it's bad.
Because there's a big old west cliff in front of us.
Oh, so we're about to go off the cliff.
So we've got to get to the front of the train and stop the train before we go over the cliff.
Yes.
This train, it just keeps on going.
It's a…
Much like Julia Roberts when she was a bride.
A bride.
This train is...
I believe there was a Kanye West song that starts with...
As a human to go...
It's a...
As a human...
Oh, is that Runway?
Runaway?
Oh yeah!
The train, it's a...
It's a locomotion.
No, it's a runaway train and we've got to stop it.
Yeah, but let's figure out who he is, come to me, you know, give some variety for the audience.
So we're at my lab.
Would you care to look at Broden under this microscope?
Broden under the microscope?
You don't have to, it's your party.
Yeah sure.
You can do whatever you want.
So what sort of, what does milk kill?
Pardon?
Does milk like destroy some form of bacteria?
Well when it comes to breakfast. Yeah. Broden's scared of milk. What do you have milk kill? Pardon? Does milk like destroy some form of bacteria? Well when it comes to breakfast.
Yeah.
What do you have milk with?
I have cereal.
Oh.
Really?
That's interesting.
Yeah.
What else would you have milk with?
Milo?
No, no, no.
Big cup of Milo in the morning?
No, no, no.
Just stay on that.
Stay with cereal.
Yeah, you think that's going to help?
Yeah, there's Cocoa Pops, there's Fruit Loops.
Fine with all of them except for one.
One, which was I think Nutrigrain you had a problem with.
Well...
No, Nutrigrain's fine.
Nutrigrain's fine.
Oh, okay.
There's just one.
If there was a...
I think he needs to get the first...
Yeah, right, okay.
Let's have a look at Broden's skin under this microscope.
Does it look different to you?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, yeah. Really, it looks different to me. Look at mine.
Oh wow, look, Mark is made out of
atoms. That looks normal, yes.
And even though you couldn't see that
in a microscope, you'll just imagine.
You'll just imagine, yeah. Geez, when I look
at Broden's. He looks like milk.
No. When I look at Broden's,
it reminds me of being
on certain beaches
on the Amalfi Coast. It reminds me of being on certain beaches. Yeah on the Amalfi Coast
Okay, reminds me of the Flintstones or a certain type of cereal. That's fruity fruit loops
or
fruit
Cucans is the one with the toucan and
There's under the tiger frosty frosty flakes
Yeah, that's fruitless. And there's one with a tiger.
Frosty, frosty flakes.
No, those aren't fruity.
They're frosty.
OK, whatever fruity.
Fruity.
If you go to the beach in Greece.
Yeah, OK.
You have pebbles.
Oh.
Pebble beach.
Oh, and pebbles, the sun in Flintstones, I think.
Yes.
So Broden isn't made of atoms and electrons?
Well, he's made of pebbles.
Oh.
Why is he scared of milk then?
Well, because when you add milk to something small and granular, it becomes...
Soupy?
Kind of.
Like Milo.
What's a breakfast soup?
What's a breakfast soup?
What's like, well, you said it already, we're talking about it a lot, but what's like...
When you add...
Yeah.
Is there anything really fun about seeing a Mark logically, then having mark try to explain it to someone else
He's trying to get your brain. Yeah
To get to the the bed of pebbles
made of pebbles that you got, congratulations. So he's not Broden is he?
He's a big pile of what?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I took you to my lab, I have a lab, I'm Batman.
I brought you to my lab.
To show me the pebbles.
To have a look at Broden's cellular structure.
Which is made of pebbles.
So he's just a pile of...
A pile of pebbles.
Right, but why would he be afraid of milk?
If you had milk to stuff, what does it become?
Well, that's what I'm thinking.
At breakfast time.
I guess it becomes soggy.
What does it become at breakfast time?
Too much milk in your Weet-Bix makes it all soggy.
You got a bowl.
You got a bowl.
You put Weet-Bix in it, you put Nutri-Grain in it, you add milk.
What does that?
You got a big bowl of?
Of cereal.
Right.
Oh no.
And you're scared of cereal.
And cereal is like tiny little things, right?
Tiny little grains of wheat.
Tiny little grains of rice.
And he's made out of tiny little...
Pebbles.
So if we add milk to Broden...
He becomes like some wheaty pebble cereal...
He becomes...
The...
Pebble cereal.
He becomes...
Right!
Now...
That is...
Should a man... Is that a good cereal to me? Should a man eat a pebble cereal? That sounds y pebble cereal? I forgot the word too.
I know what it is.
Well, if a man shouldn't eat, a man shouldn't do many a thing.
So if a man should not do, should not eat a pebble cereal, that pebble cereal is...
Is not nice, Jackie.
We should not go there for it is.
It's forbidden.
It's forbidden.
So why is he scared of milk? there for it is forbidden. It's forbidden.
So why is he scared of milk?
Because the milk is forbidden.
No.
Because it will be yucky.
So we'll make him into...
No!
We'll make him into pebble cereal.
Which is...
Forbidden.
So that makes it the...
The forbidden cereal.
Yes!
So Broden is the forbidden cereal.
Yes.
Well if no...
But I'm normal. I'm a classical Broden. I love wearing t-shirts no. But I'm normal. I'm not a classical Broden.
I love wearing t-shirts, shirts.
He looks normal.
Yeah.
Long good.
All the ones that go to the pants.
Yeah, you like the long.
Like well fitted ones.
Not like me.
I like long.
Yours would be fine.
What about mine?
Yours is fine.
What about mine?
Wrong!
Because you don't want to show.
Mark stood up and I could see his tummy.
That was a visual thing for those.
That's what I explained to Zach.
I don't think anyone's listening anymore.
I just thought it was a good opportunity. How much everyone's doing. I need on a podcast thing for those. That's what I explained to Zach. I don't think anyone's listening anymore.
Everyone's doing.
The only on a club powered by Patreon.
If you want to watch this.
Tom has a very good point.
Everyone's tuned out.
No one's listening anymore.
See they need to describe it.
Because that, when he lifted his shirt, it reminded me of a certain kind of shirt, which we...
A certain kind of top.
A boob tube.
Which is also called a...
Crop top. Yes boob tube. Which is also called a?
Crop top.
Yes.
So he likes them?
No, he's very anti crop tops.
But I wouldn't say no to a...
To a...
Let's go back to La Première.
Let's go back to La Première.
Back to La Première.
What have you been taken to wearing?
You've taken to wearing like linen, like a silky...
That's what Broden wears.
But what do you think maybe...
Let's go to Gold Class or...
Yeah, I would wear what I'm wearing right now to Gold Class.
Let's go to Lux.
Let's go to Lux, Hoist, Gold Class.
You know what?
You start eating one of these in the dark.
A maxi one.
You end up wearing a little bit of it anyway, don't you?
Yeah, you do.
Yeah.
So you spill ice cream on your top.
Oh, but he's at a cinema.
Only ever happens at the cinema, this.
Because you're in Gold Class, obviously.
Yeah, but what are you getting at cinema?
What type of ice cream?
You can get, what type of ice cream?
A chock top.
Yeah!
So he doesn't like...
Because you see gold class threw me because you can get all sorts of ice cream.
Fashion, fashion, remember the fashion thing.
Fashion thing he doesn't like.
Chock top, crop top.
He doesn't like...
He doesn't like...
A crop top.
But he does want to wear...
But he would wear... wear a truck top.
Ding, ding, ding.
So I put it all together.
All together.
Broden is a...
What's he made of?
Pebble cereal.
No, no, no, no, no.
Which is the forbidden cereal.
Yes, but what's he made out of?
What's he made out of?
We moved the crop top too early.
We went to the lab.
He hadn't locked the door.
He was made of pebbles.
Yes, he was.
And he's afraid of...
So he's actually just a big pile of them. Why?, he was. And he's afraid of...
He's afraid of milk.
Why?
Because he's the forbidden cereal.
If...
If...
Milk...
Milk touches him, he becomes the forbidden cereal.
Correct.
Which is not allowed.
And...
And...
In fashion, he doesn't like crop tops, but he does like choc tops.
Now let's get to the front of this thing. Okay.
We're on a big steam train, which is on an endless runway,
and we're meant to go over a cliff.
No, no, no, it's not on a runway.
It is a type of train.
It's not on a fucking endless runway.
Is it like a mono rail or something?
Right, right, you had it right.
No, it's just a fucking train.
A steam train.
It's just, but it's going, it's got, we've lost control of it,
which makes it a... A runaway train. A runaway train. It's going, it's got, we've lost control of it, which makes it a
runaway train. I'm getting frustrated with Tom. It's not my fault. It's not an endless runaway.
Believe me, it's not my fault. This is really hard. It's really hard. It's not my fault.
It's a fucking normal runaway fucking train, mate. I don't know that there is a normal runaway train.
It's a runaway train. But it's a steam train.
That's important.
And Brad Pitt's on there.
Yes, he is.
Yeah.
Now we got to get to the front of this.
Yeah.
And he's the...
We got to get to the front of it.
I'm the...
Are you the conductor?
No, but why am I?
Just so we have it locked in.
You're an action hero.
He's not hard enough on crime.
Oh, you're the premiere premiere.
Because I'm made of all the premier
since 1990. All right now let's get to the front. Which he hasn't named all of them yet. I did,
I read it out. I did, yes I remember. All right so what I do is I pretend to pick up a big hammer.
Yeah. All right and I take that big hammer. Yeah. And I smash through the door of the engine room.
But you pretend. Not literally. You said that you pretend. I pretend.
There's a pretend door, right, for the engine room, and I pretend to break it open.
Now I demonstrate the door first by jiggling at the handle.
And that's how we show that there's a door.
Literally jiggling the handle?
No, I jiggle a...
Oh, I pretend there's a handle there.
That's how you know there's a locked door. Then I find the hammer and I play with it. You realize it's a hammer,
pretend hammer, and then I do the action of knocking it down.
Friends!
What's he doing?
He is, uh, acting.
He is...
Give me a little more time.
Doing a tableau.
So I then show a jubilation and I jump around, right?
Which shows that I've unlocked the door.
The door, the imaginary door.
There's a breeze as well.
I sway in the breeze and then I go into the engine room, right?
It's a two story engine room.
I know they don't exist.
So to demonstrate that I have to go up the level, I take my hand.
So you're miming.
And I hold it.
Yeah, what am I doing? What am I doing?
You're miming getting to the front of the train.
Is he actually miming it though?
Yeah, it's hard to understand.
What am I actually doing right now?
You are demonstrating, you are showing, you are miming.
If he can't, because it's a podcast, so he's doing mime how?
I'm not miming.
He's being audio descriptive. Yes doing mime how I'm not my he's being
audio descriptive
Yes, when what am I describing you're describing a scene where you are a mime and
Not quite I'm describing
More pure I'm describing you're describing your action or an audiobook you're describing his action or you're describing your action, which is an audio book. You're describing his action or you're describing... Describing, yes.
What is the action that I'm doing?
Your action, you're literally, you are describing, breaking into...
How?
How?
How?
How is it?
What's the tactic?
With words.
Well, remember there was no door.
There's no actual door there.
I'm not actually walking up the ladder.
I'm lifting my leg and my foot and then I'm bringing it down.
Like he's like...
Like a mime.
Like you're being demonstrative with...
Am I miming right now?
No.
No.
So you're describing a mime, which is what?
He's describing who?
Who?
Zach himself.
He's describing Zach.
Yeah.
Miming.
And what is Zach miming?
Climbing.
Alright, so I get to the top level of the engine room.
Describing, climbing, miming.
I see that the issue is that the steam, that the coal is burning too hot.
And I demonstrate that by moving my hand in front of my face.
Yeah, remember, what's he on? He's on a train.
And that train is?
Hot and steam.
And it's runaway.
Now I pretend to try and wake up the engine man who is clearly passed out.
Okay.
And then I go, I know.
So I then take my hand and do the stairs.
I get a big bucket of water.
And I show that by holding it and pretending it's
sloshing.
I then pretend to go up the ladder again and I splish it over the coal that has started,
that is sending the train towards the...
By describing mime.
Yeah.
He's trying to...
He's telling what?
He's telling the story of him...
He's telling the story of putting out an engine fire.
So he can...
Why would he do that?
So he can slow down the train and stop the train and save the day.
Great.
Put it all together.
Okay, so Zach is describing...
Not from the start.
Okay, so Zach is the premier premier who is...
All the premiers combined since the 90s.
Of which state?
Of the state of Victoria.
Correct.
And he's on a fast steam train
that is going to go off a cliff.
Who's on it?
Brad Pitt's on it.
It's not going off a cliff.
No?
Why does he have to stop at that?
It's a runaway train.
It's a runaway train, which is apparently a very common thing that I should know about.
Well, I mean, it's just a film track.
It's a film track.
But when I talked about under siege, you know, that would have been...
It's because you remembered runway. That's, you know, but when I talked about Under Siege, you know, that would have been... It's because you remembered Runway.
That's...
Anyway, keep going.
Okay.
And he's describing and miming...
No, not describing and miming.
He's describing himself miming how to climb into the engine room and put out the fire
in the engine to stop the train.
Ding.
Ding.
So the Burberry coat, you don't know that reference?
No, what's a Burberry coat?
So, Dan Andrews went on Insiders after he bet someone and they were like,
why do you think you won?
And he said that, oh, it was because he was walking around in a Burberry coat.
Oh, right.
No, no, no.
He's, that wasn't a liar. He's just sort of brought that in as a cover. I, right. No, no, no. That wasn't a lie.
He's just sort of brought that in as a colour.
I feel like it's good to be clear.
Demonstrate Dan Andrews.
Yeah.
It's hard at the start,
because at the start you're looking for everything.
Exactly. And I'm just going there,
I'm saying, hey, I don't know that.
And I knew you wouldn't know the Burberry.
I'm really upset, I'm sorry.
No, no, no. I was playing.
Playing.
How long was that, Lindsay?
It didn't upset me at all.
I thought it was funny.
55 minutes?
Jesus.
But that's, you know, to be expected.
Thank you for being here for this.
We're all going to go smash our face into a wall.
We'll see you next week.
And just as a note, no, we'll see you next week.
We'll close this up and I'll talk about this after.
Just so you know, we're going to spend...
Just the Jude Pearl song, we should play that at the start.
Yeah.
It's a different theme song.
We've been trying to write a new theme song, but this has a completely different theme
song.
You can play a theme song and then that.
Yes.
We're going to now do an hour and a half of aftercare with Tom.
To make sure I'm not mad, please.
No, no, no, no, no.
But we'll do that after the podcast.

M-U-G-E-D.
Mug it to the other.
Yes, and if you like-
On the grass house.
On the grass house.
If you like hearing Tom fumble through names and not knowing what the fuck is going on,
listen to the footy podcast with Broden Kelly.
It's true.
Who's that guy?
What's his?
You know, that guy who plays for that team.
You know the one, Zach.
This is why you got to get good at making up names.
I thought I was pretty good with my Hawks reference.
I thought that would be a good hint for him.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Bob Hawk the whole time.
Good night.
You've been listening to the Aunty Donna podcast.
