A list-nuff production. So usually the rule is that we do a whole bunch of podcasts and then we release them over time. But what we've done, for those who listen weekly, this is one we recorded two days ago, as opposed to one we recorded in early 1994. So we actually run out of that. No, no, we're slipping this in. Oh, very nice.

That's what's to slip it in. So this is actually so we can talk about such up-to-date issues as the death of the King of Thailand and the debate that's happening in the political spectrum in America and the United States. It's a debate across the whole country. It's a mass. It's a mass of people dealing with this debate, isn't it? It is, yeah, it's a masturbate. We see a masturbate. I think you're going to have to start beeping already. Oh, no.

That's what we're usually beeping, it's masturbating. It's just what we're saying. Whenever we talk about touching our willies or anyway. We thought it might be a fun idea to talk about this week A trip that we just went on because maybe people are interested in and hopefully we'll try and make that funny If we can well, there's some pretty funny stories from the road every time you get us together on the road It's pretty much love. Oh, and let's introduce our guest Yeah, so the reason we thought we'd bring this person on and finally let him have a voice

is because he came on this trip and let's put it this way. The current likes to eat. I do. And also, he's been nagonous because he does keep trying to interrupt us when we're doing a podcast. And for the past couple of weeks he's been like, I'd really like to be on it. And all of us have been like, we don't feel like that's appropriate. A man who's favorite footwear in winter is Thongs,

Absolutely. We have

I haven't checked my email. Yeah well you should do that before you come into a professional practice such as E-mailing cost you dingus. Oh, gee. That was a song about mass slaughter. My song was about just about the porridge at the virgin lounge and the pancakes. Have you seen that that pancake machine?

Oh, that's a great question, Brohan Kelly.

Chippies. We went there for the... They called them fries. That was... That went there for Chippies. Oh, they're not Chippies? They made me do a show in the middle of my Chippie trip. The main reason I went to LA was to get some of that American KFC.

Oh, yes. And then I missed out. We didn't get a chance to go to KFC. Yeah, but you didn't miss it. We got KFC at the airport on the way back. So it was very upset. No, it was bad. It was bad.

It was bad. No, it was bad. I think I am still the number one flag Barrett American KFC being the best KFC of all the world. Yeah. But that was the worst KFC I've ever had. I'm a big fan of, I think, and just on the KFC conversation that I believe is why we're doing this.

But yes, yes. So, the KFC, I'm a big believer in, I think the UK do the best specials, you know, how KFC always do. Oh, I agree there. The UK do a rice box where you get like this hot rice with a zinger filler on top and spicy sauce. Oh, the burrito. The burrito is so so I was a big fan of the burrito. For me, their zinger has spice. It actually has zing. There's no irony in its name. But for me, you can't go past those great Aussie KFC chips. That's true. They've got that. And KFC hot and spicy. I just recently moved across the

road from the only KFC in Victoria that does around the clock hunt and spicy. Brisbane, I'm so used to it. You've got it around the clock all the time. We're all your stores, but us in Victoria have to wait till it's on special, but not me anymore. So, and the hot and spicy is the best chip. Have you been across and had it yet?

Have I been across and had it yet? The other day I went and I got six pieces my The actual the text line is going off right out. We've got a whole bunch of people from Brisbane there They're texting in great job with the hot spicy mark. I know it's my personal favorite It is last week Because the thing spicy has to have to call over and listen to that banging track. Awesome tunes of my drive mode. The thing you've got the American KFC is you can get extra crispy chicken, which is life hot and spicy, but without the hot and spicy.

And I'm all about that crispy and you can choose between white, man, and dark meat, which is also really cool. The white meat is a little more expensive, but the dark meat is a bit more tasty. You guys, it's using economy. On another trip to America, do you remember when we did the the thing with the Uber drivers and subway? Oh, yeah, that was so much fun. That's worth mentioning Oh, so are you one there? No, no, because this was when we went over for a screen Australia took us let's let's do it As if we're telling Tom. Yeah, tell me all about it. So Tom. Yeah, go

What are we doing? So I was just kidding. I blanked out. Telling Tom the story. Yeah, you tell me. Right. So we were catching ubers. They call them moobers over there. They're sort of like a taxi, but you usually use an app.

It's the whole crane, Tom. Fucking get with the times, right? And you were of cars, you dumb shit. Tom lives in Reservoir. It's a little bit like a taxi. I don't even know where you live. I should know where you live. You're a friend of mine.

Yeah, I live in Eaglemont. Eaglemont, whatever. I don't give a fuck. He did live in Res in reservoir with me and Sam It's got us six years ago. I stopped caring so long ago So we're in the uber and we were doing a thing where we were like We were like oh man. I wish there was a restaurant around Where I could get a sandwich

and then someone would jump in and say, yeah, I, I, I, I, no, we, was it like we go? Didn't start with pointing out. Oh, I don't know. Okay, all right. I can't remember. Oh my God, that's so far. So we go past a subway, we go, what's,

we'd ask the Uber driver. That's right. What's that? What's that? They go, oh, that a that's like a subway like a sandwich shop and we go like a What is it a train station? Yeah, and you go no no no no it's a sandwich shop LA had Subways and and he's like no no no you can get sandwiches there and I'm like we're like look I like sandwiches but to be honest if I'm going to a sandwich shop, I really need to be able to choose exactly what I want

and so I think that's why I've been choosing to always end up with things in your hands. Yeah, so I probably wouldn't go there. And they go, no, they do, that's the whole thing. They choose what's in the sandwich. And we'd be like, oh, that's interesting. That's pretty cool, but for me, I need a couple of varieties of bread.

If you're just giving me white and whole meal, I'm out, I need a couple of varieties of bread. If you're just giving me white and whole meal, I'm out. I can't do it. No, you get up, you get up, you get to choose. And so we did that to every driver. We've been driving. But I like to see him make it in front of me. Yeah, yeah, that is, it's a sandwich.

That's all well and good, sir. But if I can't see them craft, they're kind of like an artist in front of me, say an artist wood. Then I don't know if I want to go there. It needs to be finished with two cookies and a medium drink as well. That's a big one for me. And so they'd always keep being like, you can do that. And then this one time, we got sick of the subway game.

So we're like, let's do it with KFC. And we were in a sub, we're in an Uber. And we were like, oh, what's that shop? That looks interesting. And Uber driver just like, oh, what's that shop? That looks interesting. And Uber driver just went, oh, that's Chinese. They do Chinese food there. And then he just shut us all up. Oh.

Oh. And then my favorite part of this story is it was really going really well. And then we would tell a man, we were doing a bit with the man. And he was like, oh, OK, where did you say you were from again? And we were like, oh, Australia is like, man, I'm pretty sure you guys have subway. I lived in Melbourne for like five years.

We were like, oh, and then we stopped playing the game. But that was, that's our trip to, yes, but why did we go this time was the original question. Oh sorry, so the chippies for me. No, so we went to perform our first ever show on American soil. It's not exactly true. Oh yeah, that's right. It's a true innocence. It's a true innocence. It's a debut of our live show, I guess. Yeah, like the one hour show, we'd never done a full hour that was just built as us, you know an anti-donna show

So technically it was our US debut, but we had performed shows at San Francisco sketch fest in 2013 So on the A.I. Festival if you're in San Francisco check it out. Yeah, yeah, so it was a really fun trip We always like going to America like the it's always the hardest shows because you have to do a show after eating more than you would. You're having more food every day than you would in a week in Australia. Yeah, not this time, but the time before that when I went to LA, the first day we landed I only had two meals. One was at seven in the morning, which was fried chicken and pancakes, and then one was eight o'clock at night, which was fried chicken and waffles. Which is a different thing. It is very different. It's a different one, right?

Yeah. But this top part, and maple syrup on both? Yeah, maple syrup on both. But this time, when we first got there, we went to a place in LA for fried chicken and waffles, which you missed out on time. You would have loved. It's called Roscoes. Oh, yes. Big LA staple., you would have loved, it's called Roscos. Big L.A. staple, they claim they have the L.A.'s best mac and cheese, it's not that good, but they claim it. And Sam said he'd buy me a T-shirt if I did a big shot of their maple syrup. And we're all in your age.

We're all in, and then... And then cake parlor. Yeah, and I did it because I'm a in, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and said, is that trendy young man? Hey, I'm just walking around the old fathom dab. I gotta say, hey man, what the God, what good old fleshy old man? That's a t-shirt that I could see on a silly billy with a t-shirt from out of town, but no, that's a trendy man. He's working it. Well, hey there, that man is not wearing some shirt from Target, okay man. You got there from a brow Trent To the day so the show went well. Yeah, so it was at the Lago theater boring So it was at the Largo Theatre. A boring... LAUGHTER

This is what they want to hear, Zach. I tune in for wacky characters and goofy pants. You can be the wacky character of the Largo Theatre of the Federal Mandra of the Hodgotha. Yeah, you'd be the Largo, and we'll talk to you. All right, ready? Do you need a moment? I need a second, because I'm just doing frog man every time with a different answer.

Yeah, but people love it. Yeah, but I love it. I love it. But not Largo is frog man. I'm going doing Frog Man every time with a different People love it. I love it. I love it. But not Lago is Frog Man. I'm gonna do something great. We should do Frog Man t-shirts. That was a great idea. Okay.

So let's give that a try. And man-based lanyards. That's another thing we need to do. Oh, yeah. That's very cool. And it's how you man-shift hats. No, I don't think so. That would be great.

No, because that's not what I'm saying. But your character gets a thing. I think it would be great. No, because that's not, because that would be enough for me. You're character gets a thing. And you guys have multiple characters. I only got one. Yeah, that's cool. We could do sandwich sandwiches. Yeah. Yes, maybe.

I guess maybe. But the language is, oh! It's a dog-med t-shirt. I think it's a dog-med t-shirt. I think it's a dog-med t-shirt. I think it's a peeking out a bit. I am peeking out. I don't have a sock on my...

Dick. If you put a sock on you, you'll was peeking out a bit. I am peeking out. I don't have a sock on my not dick If you put a sock on you dick, you'll stop peeking You need a soft sock now. He's got to be a It has to be a very good. No, he doesn't okay. Just take a moment Well, good old-fashioned Aussie lead all right. I do like a crocodile Frogman Maybe I could just just do frogman. Yeah, just do Frogman. Or just do Frogman telling us about our trip to LA. Oh, hello, boys.

Hello, Frogman. The Frogman is actually me, Frogman. Now, I heard you went on a little trip to LA. That's right, we did from there. Because I went on a little trip to my swamp Really yes, it was a lovely trip. I went there to try the delicate slime Also to go for a little swim and also for in and out burger Yeah, so oh from there we went there to do a to do a show and we did it for about 200 shows.

Oh, right. We did it for 250 people. It was a sold out show which was amazing. So if anyone's listening who came, thank you so much. It was genuinely the best. Tom, what was your reaction being back and watching the whole thing? I think the thing for me was, we decided to open the show with a sketch called Trendy Cafe,

which I think a lot of you guys will know. Yeah, there are the Feds, no, they've been watching for a while, I know that, I feel I like them. I'm in trouble. Well, what we did just to give you context for the show, we took our new show that we've been touring around this year, anyone who's come and checked it out across Australia or all the UK, thank you so much.

I've seen it a while ago. Yes. What was your favorite sketch? I saw it in Brisbane. In Brisbane? Yes. And I saw my favorite sketch would have had to have been mannequins. All right, Maddie.

Oh, we've already spoken about how we cut mannequins. Yeah, it would have been a sort of love. I don't normally leave the swamp to see a show. Mrs. Fronk, she's got that term book, cancer. You're saying, I'm so sorry. So who looks after her when you're out? Oh, look, she's in remission, thank God. Sorry.

That's okay. She's in remission, thank God. So she's able to look after her child. Did she have to go to Hobbsis care? That's very interesting. Yeah. Oh, I met your wife. She's a bitch anyway.

I heard it. I heard it instead of a chemo, you have kerb mit. Yes, that's true. Yes. What the fuck? You made an insensitive joke and he talked about the proper treatment of frog men. All women, all women, that we're all frog men. We're not a very progressive people. The frog men. I imagine you'd be quite gender fluid.

Don't you swamp of yours? Yes. I thought you have a do do frogs have both? Don't you have both a penis and a pussy? Look, let's see horses. I've got to be honest with you. No, this the the men get pregnant. Yeah, when you see horse community. Yeah, in the sea horse community. I've got to be honest with you. I haven't done a lot of research on frogs because I'm a frog man. Yeah, separate. Just come to the Sun naturally. We I haven't done a lot of research on frogs because I'm a frog man. Yeah, separate. Just come and suddenly. We just don't do a lot of reading.

So anyway, back to the allergy. I know of a lot of people who drove six, seven hours to come to their last night's show, which is, geez, that's a few bit of... We had a fair few YouTube celebrities in the audience, as well as some people came and saw the show that was really, really amazing for us. You might have seen on our Facebook page, we posted that not only did Tim mention, who's a friend of ours, came to the show and came backstage afterwards and gave us all a hug and said, yeah, it was so cool because we've spoken the Tim a couple of times, Tim really

helped us with a Bike he was which most of you are probably familiar with Tim actually put in the little beat before hand coffees There's a little musical rest. Do you know is it a rest Tom? What do you call it? Yeah, a little stop talking off the mic even when we invite you to speak it to a good work Tom So Tim helped us with that and Tim has developed some of our I get to speak into a good word Tom. So Tim helped us with that and Tim has developed some of our ABC stuff that we've done He helped give us the ending to our pilot until I can other sketch great great man Been so lovely. He came and saw us. Can I can I tell a story about how I found out that one of the other people was coming? Oh, please please so halfway through our show the lights go dark and we go through the audience and we go

We pretend to be spooky. We do a spooky interval in last year that this year You may have seen it. And if you've seen the show, thank you so much for coming along. Did you like that bit, Frogman? What's that, sorry? Spooky interval. Yes, I loved it. So I have to be honest with you.

I got a little bit dry about halfway through the show. So I had to go out to a nearby tap and just went to myself and get moist. So I missed about 20 minutes. I can't grab. There's a sketch called spooky. We go through a torch. Isn't it shining on the wind?

That sounds like a lot of fun. So I'm walking through the aisle, walking down the aisle. I'm flashing torches on people. Oh, great. I go halfway up. I flash the torch on a man sitting on the aisle. Turns out to be Eric Idol. One of the key members of Monty Python.

Who to us? Ah! We're at... Ah! No, not a real Python. Oh, thank God! Because of course your pythons are one of our biggest stand-up. Of course, of course, of course, of course, of course. You're Fred's with a python, eh? No.

Sorry. Mark, continue. I can't remember what I was going to say. Oh right, yeah. Monty Python, as is for a lot of people and for a lot of comedians, but Python is pretty much one of the only thing, one of the only groups that all of us in Antidonna agree on a great. We've all got very different comedic influences that come from different places.

We all fell in love with different things growing up, but Python is the one thing universally that we all love. So to have Eric Idle there, like having a beat off for a musician in the industry. Absolutely, or just, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, yeah, not an actual beat off. No, no, no, I'm aware of it. You would have beaten them up otherwise.

Yes, I would have gobbled them up Yeah, I actually I actually did lick Which one here we go there we go in 1992 and He and but not because I thought he was a beetle. I was going through a very drugged up phase at the time Right. Yeah, I was a musician for a while But that's enough about me back to your LA true. Right. So Eric Idol was there, which was pretty crazy. We also found that after the show that Dylan Moran, if you're familiar with black boots, black boots, I think I said black boots. I know it's black books, but I said black boots to him.

No. Oh, really? Did you actually say to Dylan to do a marina there's no way That the boy you say that the mark did you actually go up? Oh my god? I didn't say black boots to Dylan Marin. There's no way that happens Max done himself a mixture So he was there so we had these these these these these big-time So he was there. So we had these big time celebrities in the show who came for various reasons and then we got to Drink with them after the show after we met all the fans like so many fans wanted to stay back and meet us Like it took us what like an hour and hour and a half to get through the line. Yeah, which was so cool

Lovely people. It was a particularly funny bit about that is people are starting to recognize Sam and Tom who are both there, which is my favourite, because everyone walks up to Sam and says, who the fuck are you? And that's my favourite, and then he usually responds by saying, that's not a nice thing to say to someone. Well, they're like, it's great, because that's how you separate the hardcore fans from the casual fan. And then the ones that you like, oh, right. Well, because you have been in one of the video vlogs, you've been in the background a couple of times.

Yeah. I didn't know if he photos and stuff, but... Yeah, yeah. So they're the hardcore fans, which is really cool. So if you can recognize Sam or Tom, they'll kiss you. They'll kiss you. They'll kiss you. They'll kiss you.

And if you recognize Max, he'll probably give you a rim job. Max has been recognized once, apparently. Once. Yeah, he's had, he's been recognized once. And if you recognize me, just leave me alone, because if you touch me, it can hurt my skin. It's best to just leave the frog alone, it's natural habitat. Yeah, just let them be watched from a fire, respect that frog and it's it frog man in a ecosystem.

You know, that's the thing. I leave my curtains open. If you do want to watch. You're living a house? Yes, it caroms down. You think I live in a swamp, dude? I just go on holidays to the swamp. Do you imagine that you have a lamp? Yes, I have a lamp in my house for reading. No, for keeping the walls there. Just stay warm.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you. I thought you were a friend, bro. I'm asking questions. I'm trying to learn about that. Oh, please. I think I wouldn't want to be an ignorant friend who just... That's absolutely fair. And I feel that I was only ever here

Is sort of a light comic relief to the LA story, but I worry perhaps okay, right? Well, yeah, so it's funny We got those worries because some of us share those worries. Yeah, we've got about five minutes Well, I might hop along then goodbye everybody. No, I don't leave How are you know, hey, do you know who was also the show was Brian Henson? Yeah, Henson's Jim Henson's boy. Yes, I'm a big fan. Yeah, he's a miss Piggy or I told you we were in a very progressive band just frog people so that relationship was always very frugal. Pigs or miss. Pigs. Well, it'll just, you know, frogs, date frogs.

That's great. That's really challenging and interesting. That's very funny. That's going to bring up a lot of the people. It's going to bring up a lot. It's great. Right, hands on the judge of the Jim Henson Empire. He's, yeah. I amenson Empire. Yes, wow.

I am gonna hop a long guy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yes, I guess well like all in all we had a we had this really amazing time in L.A. We got to do some crazy things we got to see Conan we got to go to the Conan show Broden is a huge Conan fan. That's so good More enjoyable for us than watching Conan was watching Broden watch Conan Because he he was really enjoying it. I've got the face, but I can't really do it. Do the face. Do it. Oh, that's good. That's good. Did you mention Eric Idol while I was away?

Yeah, we mentioned Eric Idol. Yeah, we spoke about Eric Idol. And we also had Denys. Oh, we did have Denys a lot, yeah. If you talk about Denys, do the cows come home? Denys is pretty good. Denys is great. And also Eric Idol and Dylan Moran gave us notes

on the show, which was pretty phenomenal. We probably have to go into that another time though. That's a story for another podcast. You'll just see a show and it'll be like Montepyre and meet black books. That'll be our next show. I think it's black boots. Black boots. Did you really say black boots? No, I definitely not. Oh wow. There's no way I would have said that.

I need. I'll just use... So we brought in it. Switch to D-Caf. Brodon at Conan, there was a particular point because he would be your number one or after that. Just about there, yeah. 90s Conan, yeah. Yeah, and there's a point where Conan was walking

through the audience at the very end and just hugging people at random. And it was possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. Am I just put a photo of me doing Brodon's face when there was a chance that Conan might hug him? I'll add on something. We'll put it on Instagram and Twitter. Yeah, on Instagram and Twitter. I'll put it on all. We'll use that photo to promote the podcast? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's the photo. Just like this photo will make sense once you listen to our podcast.

Yeah, that's great. But this is Zach Dewan the Face. Yeah, he didn't hug me, he walked straight past. No, he had to. He had to middle aged Latino woman to your left. LAUGHTER But, um, La Bamba, who's in the band, patting my shoulder, I was really nice.

That's nice. Yeah, that was cool. It was a great trip. We had a really great time, and thank you once again to everyone who came to the show. Oh, and that's what I was going to say earlier. Oh, shit. Oh, no, Tom. Yeah, sorry. Um, that year when we started the show,

and trendy cafes start soft a little bit soft. Right. And as you guys walked on the stage, or Broden walked on the stage, it was such a huge scream that, from the audience, it was just insane. It was like one of the loudest audiences we've ever had. Yeah, and they all scream each time

because that sketch is a slow fold in, Broden opens it, then Zach walks on, then I walk on. And every time we walked on, they screamed so loudly, we all fucked it up. Yeah, sucked up the time. I would couldn't hear the music. Yes, I was at an under sound desk, I was mixing the show and I was trying to pump up 20 cafes so that they'd like the backing tracks and that the boys on stage could hear

it and no matter how hard I pushed it I thought I was going to blow the system because it was just like a disinsane which was just so lovely. How did you emotionally react to the crowd being so boy-street? Oh, yeah, what happened? It's like, it's a thing. What happened? I have a lot of people. Did anything slip your mind?

Um, no. I got a little cry. Yeah, I got a little bit teary, because they're like for me, like, doing America or like getting over to America is such a huge insane goal for a bunch of Australians. Like, it's so expensive to break America's. That's a huge goal of mine. I think for the groups, but also mine personally just out. You cried, doing shows in America. And yeah, I got a little bit overwhelmed with motion and I was like, is that because you're a massive whoosh?

Yeah, it's a whoosh. And then I forgot to turn Zach's mic on, I think. Yeah, you did forget to turn Zach's mic on. So he missed the first line. Oh, that's all right. You have a little cry, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I started crying and I had to leave and Sam had to take over. Is that a joke? Wow.

No, that's serious. Did you really have to leave? No, no, no, that's so pathetic. That's true. I was totally fine, but it was a good idea. No, no, we should embrace that sort of thing in masculinity. We shouldn't carry it around here.

It's great. Are we going to talk about masculinity? I think we should. Yeah, we should embrace that sort of thing in masculinity. We shouldn't get it right. Yeah, it's great Are we gonna talk about masculinity? I think we should Wow, we've got two seconds. No, that's all good. That's a great thing that you did I was just being I was I was being facetious. Yes, I think it's beautiful I'm aware of the yeah, sometimes our fans they come up and they're like oh, we boys We love you drink and say now if you want to cry man If you want to have a crush. Yeah, you should have a cry boy should boy should cry. I'm not joking Neither am I cry Having a cry is good. It's good for the soul. It is good for the soul Especially when we're overwhelmed by happiness and you know because we've worked a very very long time at

Donor and I know now you're pushing up I don't know. Now you're pushing up tick off. All right, thanks everyone. Thanks so much for listening. We'll be... To the people in the US, we'll hopefully be back next year to do a lot more touring on this. Yeah, the LA was... For us, was just dipping our toe in the water. And let us know in the comments if you want us to do more recap. You're just like Comstress.

But let us know let us know if you want to do more if you want us to do more recap

These sort of things and and Australia when we're doing a beat through next year as well We're gonna be we're gonna be going ever in UK as well in New Zealand and everywhere. All the English speaking countries will be there. So yeah, thank you to all our fans. I don't think we say it enough, but it's fucking the fact that we can go into and see all you awesome people is the best part of our life, apart from our private lives, blah, blah, blah. But yes, just that very quickly, I wanted to say. And as Brode mentioned earlier, we're going to start trying to do a Patreon thing where you can get some really cool stuff for a very, hopefully a very small amount of money. So we're going to try and do that and see how it goes.

So hopefully we can all quit our jobs. Does that have to be sick? But we should probably finish on a funny thing now. I'm a rock band. All right. No, you don't have to be a rock band. No, we've got to be. It's not funny.

I'm worried what will happen to you is what happened to me with Pete's man, where every time I try to do a character It'll just be Frog Man Yeah, I did a character like last week so it'll probably be in a week or two That I just was very close to Frog Man I can't remember which one it was, but he was just a big mic It was like, a frog man But he's so good, he's so strong. Maybe Tom should, we should end with Tom doing a character.

I think we should end with Tom singing a song or doing a rap. I already hear Tom do like a fully sick u-layer, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, you know, like, because you, you have your patterns, Greek and Spanish. Yes. You do like a Greek character. I went to a Greek wedding on Saturday. Yeah, do something racist Tom I do like it go with a fully sicked up souped up

Carried yeah, go that'll be funny You did three years I don't know that's the character you make that up Okay, what's your name character? Tom Very good I just make the music guys if you want to check out our sweatbag. It follows on sandclad We're heading on the joke stop selling shit. No, yeah, Tom. You want to plug something

Great thanks everyone God Wolf as did. Great. Thanks everyone. God will for as well. God will. God will. God will. Yeah, I'm in a band called God will if you should check it. They're very good. They're very very good.
