Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you. And we should also say this is 2026. Jess, what year is it? 2026. Thank God you're here. Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serenji Amarna, 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there.

Canada, we are visiting you in September this year. If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto for shows. That's going to be so much fun. Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dave Warnigy and I'm sitting here with Matt Stewart and Jess Perkins. Hello. Hello. I'll tell you what, I'm not just sitting here with Matt Stewart and Jess Perkins this week. We're also sitting here with our buddies from Kosamui, part of the whole part of the Little Dumb Dumb Club. Hello to Tommy Dasloo and Carl Chandler. Yeah.

Thanks for having me. Don't take this as a slide, but as soon as you started talking, Tommy turned you down in his head. I just noticed that. That does happen a lot. Also at live gigs as well. I do a sound check and the sound person's like, yep, you're all good. You're all good to go. And I get out there, I'm like, how old?

What the fuck? Also, we're not your buddies from Kosoamui. We're your buddies from Melbourne and comedy. You didn't meet us in Kosovoi. Yeah. We haven't even, you haven't even been to Kosonui yet. I know. I could.

before we get there. Are we somehow recording this after Coosemui? Did I miss something? Yeah, guys, how good was Cozumui? Fuck! Did you guys go a week early without me? We got the wrong flights and we're back. How did the shows go, guys?

Yeah, great. We had a wonderful time. We still did them on the beach. People were running past. Dave, you should probably explain what Coesomui means. Yes. In case people don't know what you're doing. Translation.

Welcome to Ty. We are going very soon. or I guess when this comes out, we're still going in the future to the Kosoamui International Podcast Festival that we've been doing for a couple of years as the Little Dumbong Club. This year we've invited you fine feathered fellows along. So there's no, it's a bit of a shame because the whole joke was the Kosoamui International Podcast Festival featuring Little Dumbong Club and no other podcast. But this year, that is no longer funny because there is another podcast. Yeah. It's a shame.

We like you guys enough to just bin the joke. So that's how much you mean to us. Yeah. To lose a joke. And we've only got two. We're deeply on it. The other one is Nick Kappa smells. Exactly.

Dill isn't fat anymore, so we lost that one. We are shedding material so quickly. Yeah, yeah. If Kappa has a wash, we are dead in order. But yeah, it's exciting. Are you guys pumped up? Yeah, it feels a bit surreal. It doesn't feel like it's actually happening yet.

You guys aren't pulling out. No, no, no, no, no. I've got to tell you, the week we're going to tell you, The week we announced it and we announced that we were going along as well, it was the week that those two Fire Festival documentaries are just... There's so many comments being like, is this legit? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do get a lot of that. It is so bizarre that we are more organised than the Fire Festival.

Well, I mean, I was in charge of booking the flights for you guys, so there's every chance you're not actually going. Just messaging you all constantly going, please check the details again and just let me know there's any issues. You've been emailed at least two or three times, going to double check it. I'm like, do I have to actually, do what, should I look at it? Yeah, probably.

Yes. Okay, all right. Well, you wrote back saying all is good. Yeah. Well, I assume all is good. After a reasonable amount of time, so we assumed that you had gone and checked. Yeah. Fuck, fire festivals looking good.

You're talking to a man who booking himself a flight back from Sydney recently, got to the airport, couldn't check in for my flight because I'd booked it for the month later. So anything's possible. Okay. Please check it. I'll have a look. How was spending a month at the airport? Pretty good.

It's like that Tom Hanks movie. You've got to get your money's book. Big. It's just dancing on the tiles of the airport. Why isn't it playing music? Trying to put in the cheat code to get myself on an earlier flight. So the festival is next week, but there's still time, I guess, if you want to come along. There actually is.

Like I was just saying off air, there are people. that listen to us, they're still getting their tickets. They're still going, fuck it. There's someone that had a breakup and decided to come. Someone walked in and quit their job like a couple of days ago. Oh, yeah. Fuck it. I'm going to Kosamui.

What a great way to quit your job. That's so good. Yeah, there's someone who posts on our page a bit who had a profile. Her profile picture was her and her boyfriend. And then she posted that her and the boyfriend had broke up. And the two steps were new profile picture without the boyfriend. Of course. And then messaging us going, I'm coming to Kosomewini.

in that order. Yeah, new fraud profile pick with a lot more cleavies than the new roof as well, which is like, that's a big breakup move. Under new management.

So the cost, the cost the same if you book late as a put, there's no early bird discount, right? If you book today. What,

it's a week out. Of course there's no early per discount. Is there a discount code they could use? For what? Flights or a con? I don't know. I don't know if you're confused.

I am not conscious. Yeah. Just because I booked your flights for you. I'm not a travel agent. We're not your mum and dad. Oh, okay. Put a weird way to find out. Why are you telling me on air?

But basically the accommodation, they get a discount if they use a code and that discount is enough to pay for a good chunk of a flight, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that discount is still there. If you go to the page, it's podcast 19. If you go to the Ozo or the Amari websites for, like, direct, don't go through hotels combined or whatever it is. It won't work there. If you go through the directly throw the hotel's website, it will still work.

And we'll put a link to your website that explains everything in the description of this episode. It's a little club slash Kosemi. Yeah. I love any, the idea of anyone listening to this who doesn't know us and just going, so far all these guys have done is plug something. But I don't fully understand. And I don't care about it. And I don't trust.

But there might be someone who goes, fuck it. I'm going. Have you been fired? Come on down. Is your boyfriend a drop kick? Come to Kosamu. It doesn't sound like Matt's going, so maybe we can get his a con. But it's a good point.

If anyone is thinking about breaking up with their partner, this could be the reason to do it, right? Oh, yeah, right. If you're on the edge, I reckon just do it. Just do it. If there's doubt, you probably know the answer. What if you're a coward and you want to break up with someone? So then you book the flight, you come to Kosamui, you then fuck. one of the guests on the podcast.

That's the way of breaking up. Or another audience. Just anybody else there. I just thought that would be a high profile way of doing it. Sure, yes. Who are some of the guests for people who don't know? Who could they fuck? In order of least fuckable to most fuckable.

That's brutal. It's going to spoil my chances for some of the guests. No, who he's coming? Stephen K. Amos is coming. Nick Cody's coming Deeroggiah singer Nick Kappa Oh smelly

Yeah That's what I heard Who else Oliver Clark Brett Blake Yep Is that all I think that's all

That's all Nick Carr Nick Carr's coming as well And of course You three Yeah So We'll be there

DTF Great Great Does he know What that means Yeah Down to fly Tommy

He confirmed it Was me Down to fly Good to go Good to go I love that. Turning up to the gate to get on your flight, handing over the ticket and going,

Gidea, I am a DTF. I'm going to join the Mile High Club in where I am going to fly in a plane a mile off the ground. Can you tell me when we're a mile in the air? I'll be in the toilet. Meet me in there and tell me. Or the clubhouse, so to speak.

Oh, boy. Let's stop having it. fun and do your podgers. Yeah, well, if people have never heard the show before, basically what usually happens is Matt Jess and I take it in terms to report on a topic often suggested by a listener. But this week, we have delegated all of the heavy lifting and all of the hard work to you, Mr. Carl Chandler. What a dream.

Thank you so much. Yeah. Well, you know what? The topic that you offered me to start with was Liverpool Football Club because you knew that I was into them. And I thought, you know what? I don't think you guys might be that interested in that. So I thought, well, maybe I won't do that.

Maybe your listeners won't be that interested in that particular subject. But fuck, we're now recording it on the day that Liverpool has won the Champions League final. And what a fucking obvious choice it would have been and a much easier topic. But fucking hell. You're just getting emotional in the middle of the report, like breaking down. Like, oh, it was so good today. Yeah. I couldn't just come straight from the pub.

I have had a big day. But I've sobered up. I ate the plate of spaghetti. And as all the experts say, that sucks all the alcohol out. of you so I think I'm okay. Is it, because they lost the, they lost the big English tournament. Yes. But one that's much big.

I'm just wondering, is this better? Would you say if you had the choice between? Good question. What happened is we came runner up in the league, which is the normal season. Now, what this happened today was the Champions League, which is effectively the old way of pitting all the champions of all the different clubs against each other. So it's like the Champions of England and then the Champions of Europe. So officially it's a more prestigious title.

But we, as Liverpool, most people would prefer to have won the normal season, even though this is technically a better trophy. Yes. It's the kings of kings rather than the kings, I guess. So you're saying it would have been preferable to not be getting drunk at 9am on a Sunday. Yeah, I wish I had to have done that a couple of Sundays ago rather than today. You'd be over the hangover by now. Yeah, yeah, totally.

So anyway, there's all the details on the subject. I didn't. Wow. Well, I've definitely learned a lot of about you guys. So now I ask a question. That's right. We usually start with the question just to get us on to the topic. But you actually chose.

Yes. Well, there's a few other topics I didn't choose as well. Do you want me to run through all of it? What else are you passionate about? How long does this go for? All right. Question. Here's the question.

This musician was named the greatest singer of all time by musicweb. website consequence of sound due to his six octave range. What, six? Six. Do you know music? Jess, do you know much about that? A little bit. Like Freddie Mercury had a four octave range.

Really? More than Freddy. And he's known as, you know, being a technically great rock singer, isn't it? Yes. Would it be fair to say that there's eight octaves? I think there's ten. Is that the fuck? What does Ock mean?

That's very good. It's very fair. Oh, it's eight notes. Have you no music. Okay. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Wait.

How many octaves are there? But there's ten octaves. Oh, you know what? I'm only basing that off when I read this particular bit that they name someone who had ten in the world, like some absolute. Pavarotti. Right. Anastasia. No.

But in theory, it's infinite because it's just what people. Octaves a note. You can hear. If you think of like the opening, this is such a language. This is such a lame thing to know. The opening word of somewhere over the rainbow, that's somewhere. Yep. That's an octave.

That's just one. That's an octave. Oh, right. From the, oh, okay. Just in that word. So it's a range. Yeah. So it would be like middle sea to higher sea, slightly higher sea.

I see what you're saying. Yeah. I don't, but anyway. So, like, Matt, I listen to you, I reckon you've got a one octave voice, I think. Yes. There's not a lot of range there. No, you can get. trill, can't you when you're angry.

Definitely. Was that it then? Yeah, that was it. Actually furious. So, and should I reveal, should I reveal the answer yet? I reckon, knowing who you love, is it Mike Patton? It is Mike Patton. You're well picked.

For bonus points, who did he replace? So this is greatest thing of all time within popular music. I believe that's strange. By that website? Yes. Yeah. who did he replace who had five and a half octaves? Oh. And this is, this is, this will surprise you.

I don't, I don't mean to sound like the banner of a news.com.com. The answer. Like, happy to partake in this. You do know you're not hosting a quiz show. And again, I'm about to give you some information on the person I didn't research. Okay. So who's got big range? Whitney Houston.

Oh, good, good, good, good, good guess, but incorrect. Wow. Dolly Parton. No. I don't know why you would have guessed that. I think, I'm guessing it's in my head it's because she covered, Whitney Houston cover it. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

I didn't realize that's why I said it until you looked at me like I was a fucking idiot. I don't know, I panicked, I guess. I thought you were just getting horny. Yeah, so what? Who's in between this guy, who's in between Mike Patton and Freddie Mercury? I guess someone who can go low and high because I guess that's Mike Patton's thing he can...

Well, I guess let's... I won't go too long on this because I don't think you'll be able to pick it because, I mean, like you said, just Freddie Mercury, that's someone that you would think, right, he can go high and low. Patton, if you listen to his work, you could guess that. He goes high and low. This person, I wouldn't have thought so much.

So at 5.5 octaves is Axel Rhodes. Wow. So before they announced that Patton was the greatest singer of all time with all the range, The biggest range was Axel Rowle. He only ever goes high. Yeah. I can't think of it.

That's great. He must be spewing that he never pushed himself to go that extra 0.5. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also giving himself a stage name of an anagram of oral sex. He probably regrets that as well. I hope he regrets that as well. I didn't know that. Did you not know that one?

No, that's a great fact, do we? Wait till I tell you about Pearl Jam, about what their name means. Or? Yeah. What? 10 C. Yeah, right. It's not a cum stuff.

Yeah. What is it with rock and roll and come? Yeah. I think it's just teenage boys. Yeah. I think that's what it is. Dave? Okay.

You're a resident teenage boy. Waiting for my voice to drop for my octave. I'm trying to think of what Dave Warniky's an anagram of. No, there's a big one in there. Is it? Oh, yeah. So they would be, too. The W-A-R.

What? I mean, W-A-N-K. Yeah. So that gives us a good starting point. And then we just got to sift through the rubble. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And try and work out what words we can make with that. Fuck, can we get on that by the end of the episode, please?

Did someone get an anagram simulator? Something like E-de-Wanker, something like that? Yeah. Dave, yeah, anyway. Look, I've got to present a report. Can one of you get onto an anagram website and find out. Are there such things? Yes.

Of course there is. Yeah, they give you dozens and dozens of... Of wank related to the underground. There's always a wank. If it doesn't come up with wank, I'm going to be like, get a different website. Yes, it's bullshit. Has it ever taken this long to start the report? Definitely, yes.

Right, okay, that's good. That's a relief. It's something we've been working on ourselves. Last few weeks have really nailed it. Yep. We're back on to taking a while, but that's okay. We usually start with a lot of anagram-based material. Karen weaved?

Karen. Karen weaved Karen's my go-to comedy name for a lady Really? It's a good one Reaver wanked Yeah

Yeah Weaver What? Reaver Reva wanked Reve wank Vader weaken Like

Really? Yeah Vader weaken But are you taking the word Wank into consideration Well I don't know I mean I think this is a real nerd website

Yeah Surely that would be the first I think you've got safe search on on this webcam website You've got nanny on your Anagram machine All right, all right, we'll get back to that.

Please. Please, I put a lot of time into this. Let's do this report. So you are a big fan of Mike Patton. I am, yes. Now, you ask me, I guess it makes it a bit easier if you pick something that you already know. Yeah, that you're into, you're passionate about. So halfway through you don't go, why am I fucking talking about this guy?

Right, right, right, right. Okay, so, right, I'll start from the start. My pattern. And I know, Matt, you're a bit of a fan as well. Yes. Yes. I've seen half his bands probably. I've seen Tom Ork, Faithelam or...

Oh, spoilers. Those were things I was going to bring up. Oh, no. You do the fucking report. So smart. All right, all right, we'll start. Mike Patton. So, for people unfamiliar with him, he was born and he grew up in the California,

small California town of Eureka in 1968, which is in the United States of America. And he... Wait, so you're saying California's... in the United States? Okay. That's what I'm saying. The level of detail here is pretty good.

I know. Man, I know it's on Wikipedia, but I've got multiple sources that confirm that California is in the United States. It's not just one of those bullshit things. You click every source. Yes. I heard, because I listened to your episode last week,

and in it we heard that you got fired from a TV job because you only used Wikipedia. Now, that's not true. That's absolutely not true. Ironically enough, citation needed on that one. Exactly. on a show a couple of weeks ago we had Tom Gleason on

and I did bring up the fact that I was not invited back to work at Hard Quiz and then he got very stroppy about it all and he started making up stuff I really don't know what he thought about all that stuff I thought this would be funny to bring up first of all I don't think he had any idea I wasn't even working on the show anymore

but then he started making up stuff why I was fired I wasn't fired and these were not true things he goes you only used Wikipedia as a sort I didn't. Gleesham wouldn't even fucking know what happens in that building, let alone what I was doing.

I knew when you brought this up, Matt, better be 10 minutes. Defending. That's like, don't start it. All right. Let's do the report on hard quiz.

Right, I'll do that instead. Okay, born in Eureka. Yes, right. We've established it. In 1968. Yeah, in the United States, confirmed that. Patton started singing

when he was hanging out with his friend watching his friend's band rehearse and their singer didn't turn up to rehearsal. So then Patton filled in as a bit of a joke And the next week, the band fired their regular singer Great. What a country.

I imagine not turning up And the guy that's hanging out just has a six octave range. Yeah, yes. I'm so glad Axel didn't turn up today. Now we've got a 0.5 better singer. Oral as he was known back then. Before he found a funny anagram of that. I love that, the start of you just doing a joke

like just stepping into singers a joke ends with you in a permanent position in the band. And ending 30 years later with someone saying you are the greatest singer of all the time. Really tricked him this time.

It's a great bit. Now he soon, he got the singing bug, I guess, he formed a band with his high school friends called Mr. Bungle. Great known for a high school band as well.

Just a bunch of fucking idiot boys. Fantastic. Well, let's point out the fact that my high school band was called weed. Hornet. Yeah. Why?

Wow. We practice in the garage that had a whippers nipper in it called the weed hornet. Oh, okay. And everyone thought we were massive stoners. Oh, right. Of course, yeah.

So he formed a band called Mr. Bungle with his friends and entered in the high school talent show. But what fucking idiot. So they've got a band called Mr. Bungle, but as a joke, they then entered in the high school talent show and renamed themselves Bistamungal. So they fucked with the name of their band that no one even knew the name to start with. They did a fucking

weirdel parody of the name before they even had a band properly. And a name that comes pre-fucked with as well. Classic Axel Rose, another anagram. Another great anagram.

Now, I can't find any information about where they came in the talent show, which tells me that they didn't win it. And you can watch the clip on YouTube, which also tells you they didn't win it because it is fucking terrible. It's so bad. It's just high school,

just turds playing. There's like in the video, they've got their friends just skateboarding across the stage and then playing instruments on their back and on their head and just the worst of teenage toxic masculinity there is. It's just, it's so bad. I like this, you bullying schoolchildren from the 70s. Oh, man, from the 80s, from the 80s. Yeah, what else is it?

In that clip, it's so bad. They're doing a lot of jump cutting between styles. There's a sample. All of a sudden they start playing a sample of macho man, Which then prompts five of their friends To storm the stage dressed as the village people Great This actually sounds great

It sounds really fun Then they cut into a death metal version of Hey Hey Where the Monkeys Fuck, just the worst You would Anyway, I love this guy At a talent show at my house school once A guy got up there

And he ate a sandwich Great And that was his entry Great That's sick How'd you go I think he placed Really

Who won Someone who ate just like a foot long. I mean, he's going to be better at eating. At least he knows he's going to nail that. It's not like juggling where you go, well, there's a chance I might drop all the balls and fuck it. And then I'm definitely not going to win. There's no chance of you. Imagine you do fuck it. Yeah. Yeah. Put it up your ass by accident. Oh, God. Oh, damn it. That is actually funny if you did come out to eat a sandwich and then you get halfway through and I can't do this. I ate right before I came out. You don't know what I was

thinking. I filled up on bread. All right. So is this clip, is this the thing that you saw that first got you into my pattern? No, no, no. So Mr Bungle was named after an after school special, taped in the 1950s about using your manners during lunch, starring a puppet called Mr Bungle.

Well, yeah. Well, it's a similar story to the weed hornet. Yeah, that's right. So Mr. Bungle was a teenage death metal band who incorporated Scar Jazz hardcore punk. They record a few demo tapes called. and again, just teenage boys, aren't they great? The raging wrath of the Easter Bunny,

bowl of Chiley, and God damn it, I love America. So, Faith No More. So the band Faith No More, they exist at this point, but without Mike Patton. Right. They were a very moderately successful funk metal band. They toured in Patton's hometown of Eureka. They played in a pizza parlor to four people.

Moderately successful. To four people, two of which were Patton and his friend. And that's a joke he got up The other thing is like fuck So he handed the band His Mr Bungle demo And in one of the absolute miracles of modern music A band actually listened to someone's shitty demo

That they handed So how did he know Was he just there by accident Pat? No, he was a fan of the band Right He went to watch them Right right He wasn't just eating a capricosa

And I accidentally saw So right So he already knew about them and was like Going and Check him out Yes Yeah, yeah, he was a listener. Have faith them all, there are five piece? At that point...

Five on stage four in the crowd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It almost called that as, maybe call that one off, I reckon. I think so, too. I think as soon as you get booked in a pizza parlor, you call that one off, I think. I did a gig in a chicken shop last year that went... Did you? It was pretty awful, actually.

Right. So your rule is there has to be more people in the audience than on stage. I think that's a good rule of thumb. For stand-up, that's a... very girl. Yeah. Yeah, that is. So,

Faith and Moore then ran into trouble with their singer Chuck Mosley, and their guitarist Jim Martin remembered the demo about a year later, and the six octave singer singer in it. It's a hell of a memory. Yeah. You don't forget a six octave. Yeah, exactly.

And because you remember the very deep, deep-voiced, deep-throated metal singer and went, What a night We're getting back to Axel Rose again And said Oh let's get that giant fat guy from Mr Bungle But he Mike Patton wasn't a giant fat guy

But because of the voice He thought That's just some giant old fat guy But it was actually like an 18 year old kid Had he met him? Didn't he hand the demo to him? I don't Might not have been him

I think he handed it to the drummer Rather than the guitar I was going to say His memory was just getting handed it a pizza parlor. He's like, must have been a big fat guy that's way to get a size.

Right. So they, he got the gig. He, apparently, now I, look, I'm very loath to bring this up because it wasn't,

this is only off Wikipedia. There's not multiple sources of this, but they also auditioned. Some of his classic work, he's added again, Hard Quist-on- Don't find me from this podcast. Sorry,

who did you say they audition? Chris Cornell from Sandgarten. Yeah. But obviously, wouldn't have been in Soundgarden yet, but still, that's amazing, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. And hopefully true. Well, well, an earlier singer of Faith No More was Courtney Love as well.

Really? Yeah, that's true. So, not for very long. Right. But yeah. Real rotating door in it, Faith No More in the early days. Absolutely, absolutely. They had, well, so by this point, so we're going into their success years now.

So once Patton joined the band, they were nearly finished writing an album. They just needed a singer to put on top to write the lyrics. They had all the music written, all of that sort of stuff. He did it in about two weeks. They put it out and it went crazy. But that band had been around for nearly 10 years. Really? Wow.

That's crazy. Yeah. So they were, I think the rest of the band was significantly older than Patten because I think he was 18 or 19 at that point. So then they recorded an album called The Real Thing. Like I said, he took two weeks to write the lyrics, which I guess explained some of the lyrics on the song, epic? Like, it's it, what is it? It's it, what is? See, there's a couple of days. Yeah.

That made me think a lot as a kid. Right. I'm like, whoa. What is it? Well, here's the answer, it's it. Just had to wait around a little longer. You had it paused while you were just mulling it all over. All right, give me 45 minutes and then I'll jump into the

back minute of the song. So, the band released that song, Epic, as a single in the US, in mid-night. 1989, didn't really do much, but then they released it in the UK. And it blew up in the UK. It blew up in Australia. It was more of a hit here in England than it was in America. And then they re-released it in America and it blew up there.

Got heavy rotation on MTV. It's it in it. Very nice. And then there was, if you remember, if you've ever seen the film clip for Epic where they have finishes on the... The dying fish? The dying fish. So apparently that was that fish belonged to another singer

Who then became very popular Kirk Cobain No Bjork That was Bjork's gawk fish Bork's Icelandic fish Yeah Is that weird

That's so cool Did she know they killed her fish for the film clip? No I think the story This isn't in my report I just remember this fact from a while ago I think the I think Roddy Bottom The keyboardist

Had been to a party of hers the night before or something and just stole a fish and brought it along and killed it for the film clip. For art. And sorry, we have a fascination with great names on this podcast. Can you just repeat? You're very fair. You're very fair to ask this.

Who's that member? His name is Roddy Bottom. I mean, you're all thinking about it, right? Yes. And what's more, he's a gay keyboardist. It is not a staged name. That is his actual name. Wow.

Roddy Bottom. Yes. A real name. Amazing. He sounds like the sort of person who'd be subscribing to our Patreon. But it makes a lot of sense. Like, why would you change your name to that? Like, that makes more sense that his real name is that.

And he's kind of the main guy. He's kind of the band leader, right? Yeah, him and Bill Gould, who is the bass player, they're sort of the guys that have been there since the start. They're the ones that are driving that sort of thing. I reckon they tell, I'm sure I've heard them tell the story that the fish didn't die. But it definitely died, didn't it? well, as if they had, what were they going to do?

Pick it back up. Scoop it back up, put it in a bowl. Yeah, yeah. It's not like teaching a dog to play dead. Yeah. That's a good point. Dogfish just don't have that range. Yeah.

They don't have a six octave life range. So that, it went to number one in Australia, went to number one in England. It led to two years of constant touring around the world for Faith No more, which took its toll. on the sanity of the band members. Rookie Patton went from an wide-eyed innocent to becoming bitter with stardom, the music he was playing, he was playing over and over, and he got over basic hygiene as well.

The next quote, we'll explain that last one. This is from a metal magazine about a year or two into his stardom. Quote, when I was staying in a hotel room once, I took a shit, rolled it into a ball, and then put it into a hot hair dryer so that the next guest to dry their hair would get hot shit in their face. I like how you call that bad hygiene Do you call it good hygiene?

I don't want to just go on a little further. I do want to give it all away. I want a little bit of a revere. That's great. So you're turning the hairdry on and getting sprayed with shit and going, this seems like the work of someone who doesn't use deodorant. This is just bad hygiene. I think we can confirm they'd definitely kill that fish.

That's their kind of behaviour. They don't give a fuck about a fish. That's gross. Either that was a massive escalation in a year from going, put the goldfish back in the bowl to cop this in the face. Well, you know, as he's seen when he plays jokes, they work out pretty well for him. So he's thinking the old shit in the hairdry prank,

he's like, I'm probably going to get the Nobel Peace Prize on the back of this. I think the worst thing for me wasn't putting it in the hairdry. It was rolling it into a ball. I've never heard of that before. Right. Why do you need to touch it? Don't touch it. Yeah. Just stuff it in.

Just wedge it in there. Yeah, that is a, that. That is a weird point. Just your hands covered in your own shit going, boy, I'm really going to prank someone good with this. You never get to see the payoff. Right, right. You never get that. I've never understood the appeal of that kind of prank.

It's just so unsatisfying. Sitting there wondering. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Wondering if someone sprayed themselves with your shit. Yeah. You're right, this was a silly idea. And would it work the way he thinks it's going to work?

Like, come flying out? Did he think it was going to come flying out as a ball? Well, onto their face, are most people looking down the barrel of the hairdry to see if it's working? Like Elma Fudd with his shotgun? Here we go. Is this thing loaded? Probably more likely someone's going to notice the smell of human shit in their bathroom. Yeah. Where's this coming from?

Well, you know, perfect room for it because you just think, well, it's the toilet. Yeah. They never think of their hair dry. No one ever thinks to flush the hair dryer. If you did do the prank these days, you'd just be on TripAdvisor. every day for the next month just refreshing one-star reviews. Yes.

People running, yes, got them. I turned on the hair dryer and I got sprayed with shit. Yeah, yeah. A ball of shit. And you're just too keen like you're ringing the guy

at the hotel going, let's go out tonight. And you know what? Wash your hair before you come out, I reckon. Hang on. You booked our accommodation in Costa Mui.

Should we be avoiding a certain hair drive? Do you use it? Do you use it? Yeah. How wet does your hair get? I mean, it would never dry in Thailand. Yeah, yeah. This was very humid, you're right.

The perfect place for this prank. Yeah. One of the benefits of going bald. I'm never going to fall victim to the old shit in the hairdry. I'm going to bring my own. I'm going to do a shit in the safe in my room. To prank you, the rest of us have to somehow try and directly shit into your toothpaste. Roll it into a tube.

Stop it. I can just picture people listen to this. Just fast forwarding 15 seconds. They're still going on. They're shit in their head. What have happened to the sixth octave range? It sounded off so well. It's so promising.

It's so technical. Now it's like, what can we shit into in a hotel? All right. So Patton coined this shit terrorism. That's what he called what he would do. It is bad. Terrorism, yes. It's pretty lame terrorism.

You're right. It's like when people blow themselves up and it doesn't affect anyone else at all. Shit, terrible. Shit, it did in the field. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Shit. Shit. So it didn't stop there. Now, I don't know what got into Patton's head, but he went from basically coming out of,

he didn't want to join Faithanour to start with because he had a degree he wanted to finish in Eureka in his hometown. But he went straight from being a bit of a nerd to then hitting this rock and roll lifestyle and went fucking insane. because then a year into being in Faith No More and then blowing up, he played a show at the Brixton Academy in London. During the show, Patton filled his shoe with his own urine and then downed it in one gulp. Wow. That was in 1990, so that no wonder the shoe he didn't really kick off for another couple of decades. I think they put it back by a fair while.

Now, I like the drinking out of a shoe thing. It's a shame the liquid he's gone with, but maybe we could refine this and make it something that everyone can enjoy. It took 25 years from to think. beer. Put beer in the shoe. And because he's 21 at this point, right? 20 or 21 or something. Drinking his own piss.

Drinking his own piss. That's rock and roll, baby. Piss terrorism. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to prank someone by having them accidentally put my shit onto them. And now I'm going to celebrate by drinking my own piss. That causes, yeah, that's cause for celebration. It's got like a walking red and stimpy cartoon.

I think he's, what if he's so crazy he's thinking, you know what, I'm going to make myself prank-proof. No one could ever trick me into drinking piss. I'm going to do it myself. It's an ultimate power move. Oh, man. He also, like, oh, God. There's also clips you can find of him on stage in, I think, Chile.

It's in South America somewhere, and he's just screaming at people to spit at him, and he's just got his mouth wide open, and people just spitting from the audience, spit into his mouth. I hate this is mine. That's somehow worse than rolling a ball of shit Yeah So at least it's your own shit

I mean I don't know sorry sorry There's a scale to this somewhere Yeah We'll get into the music at some point You're not your own shit for the person drying their hair though Yeah

That's right I still don't want my own shit in my hair Sorry but I don't Sorry for a controversial idea I am a real diva I don't want my own shit Flying into my hair But you know what

There's a way out of that You just don't put it in your own hair drive Because it's, it's, it's, it would be a great prank for someone to find your shit. Roll into a ball into your own hair. That is a great prank. That's next level, yeah. It's a real high. So when you complain, you go, what?

It was your own shit. What's the problem? So you've picked up a hair dryer. First thing you notice, very top heavy, very front heavy. It also smells like shit. I won't investigate. My hair's real wet. I need to dry it.

I'm about to go out. So you're spraying shit into your hair. That's the only way. You've got to step through a lot of barriers. Yeah. But whoever looks, I don't know what looking into the barrel of the hairdry would look like. Like it seems like it'd be pretty dark in there. You wouldn't, you wouldn't realize, unless it was absolutely chockers with shit, I don't think you would notice.

This is what we need to find out. I reckon it would smell. I reckon, because they usually keep them, like, the hairdryl being a drawer in the bathroom. Yep. And you'd open that drawer and you'd smell shit. Well, the barrel's not that deep either, is it? It's because it's got that great thing on it. Yeah.

Guys at home, welcome to MythBus. We're going to do it in the studio and find out. Man, let's do it in some movie live on stage. No one really knows either what a human shit looks like. No one's ever looked down after getting off the toilet. You're right, man. It's like a Yeti. Shit is like a Yeti.

No one's ever got taken a real picture. There's a few cloudy, blurry pictures of shit over the years. Every time I try to photograph my own. shit. I get the negatives back and it's all blurry. Oh, that's just a man in a suit. I've been in a very smelly suit.

That's all that is. Why they try to wedge that man up into a hairdry or I don't know. Oh, fuck the rest of Mike Patton. Let's just get this story straight. I'm having a good time. Who's up for a shoe of pizza?

Who wants to do a shooy of a solid shit? Can you do a shooy of food? Has anyone done that? It's always... Knife and fog out the shoe. Yeah. A ravioli shooey. David'd go for a baked beans shoo.

In sumoie, we could do a curry shooie. Yeah. Let's do a padtie shoe on the beach. A thongy, because it's going to be so warm. I'm not wearing shoes. Well, that's good. That just means it's more hygienic when we drink or eat out of it. Just noodles sliding down the surface of a haviana in the open mouth.

I'd love a curry out of a shoe. That would be good. Yeah. All right, well, let's do it. You'd love a curry out of a shoe? Well, I'd love a curry. And I'll do whatever it takes out. Yeah, and their shoes are really pissing me off.

I just want to get them off, that's all. Oh, God. All right, so. Fucking hell, this guy's only 20 in the story that's taken as this long. These are the best years. This is like saying, oh, we're only up to 1968 and the Beatles. This is taking forever. There's not that much more.

Right. So, in the meantime, Patton used his clout and his fame. From Faith No More, it was such a big hit to get a record contract for his original band, Mr. Bungle. Or as you guys might know them, Bistamungle. Yes. Now I'm with you. Yeah. So this self-titled album.

You would know this, Matt, Mr Bunga's first album. It's a very teenage boy album. Yeah, very circusy. Yes, it's all like very funk metal. It's a lot of like trumpets and horns and... A song about porn. Yes, exactly. As I've got here, it's a cult favorite for sexually repressed teenage boys everywhere

with its jump cut style of meshing metal, jazz and funk themes of masturbation, suicide clowns and porn. They were made to change the name of their lead single Travolta due to legal action from an unnamed celebrity Tom Cruise Fucking out Travolta So Fathomel's first album with Patton, The Real Thing, was a big hit around the world After two years of touring, they were itching to record some new music

Their next album, Angel Dust was a radical departure from the poppy funk They'd been known for with Even Patton's pin-up boy image corrupted with him cutting his hair and instead growing a particularly shitty goate the music was heavier I'm sorry, did he blow dry his goatee?

Oh yeah, yeah. Very nice. The music was... He's back at that same hotel years later and no one's touched the head on. Oh my face is a little wet. Just dry that off. Oh no.

To be fair, yeah, you would deserve that for dry blowing... Fuck, what do you call it? Blow drying, blow drying, a goatee. That's insane. Oh, God. Droe bling is what they called their hair drying in high school. Very good.

So the music on Angel Dust was meaner, heavier, less accessible. When the record company heard the Frinish product, one executive told the band, well, I hope none of you have bought a house. All of them had bought a house. So the album did not kick off in America. It wasn't very successful at all. It was, they did continue to grow their fan base in other countries like England and Australia. They actually got bigger there.

In hindsight, that album is now one of them, I think it was named by someone the most influential rock or metal album of all time on, I think, Metal Hammer or something like that. It's so, we sort of know of it in this country because it was a major hit, the cover of the Commodores song, Easy. So, you know, Easy, like Sunday Morning. That was, they hit number one here. Of which, you know, if you haven't heard that, you can get on YouTube and watch them mine their way through a version of it on YouTube on the best show that is ever come out of Australia, Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Saturday.

Oh, yes. Unfortunately, Patten didn't use any of his shit terrorism to do any blackface, but, yeah. For context. The Hay on Saturday is probably most famous for being the last place on Australian TV to do blackface. Yes, they did a couple of years ago. As of this recording. Yes. We're probably due for another one pretty soon.

For overseas listeners, we did have a bizarre show called Heyo Saturday that was great many years ago if you were into that sort of stuff and then came back and really did not change with the times. I had a talent show segment and they had someone on doing Blackface and they thought, this is fine. Harry Connick Jr. went, that is absolutely not fine. He was judging the talent show. Yes. He was just a guest on it. You've made it sound like he was a regular show. Yeah, right, right, right.

I kind of just say they did change with the times because they aired it on a Wednesday night. Yes. They didn't change with the times They changed the times And still called it hey But this was like 10 years ago right Or maybe 15 The blackface thing

Yeah the blackface thing's about 10 years It's coming up on this century Yes That'll probably surprise some American listeners Yeah It was way too recent Yes Yeah

Oh totally totally And there was debate about Is this okay Oh if you watch the clips You know it's Daryl on stage Like Harry Conning Jr. saying on the show That is not cool

And him going What's the problem Oh sorry if I'm sorry if you're offended by this or you've been confused or whatever, and it's like, Darrell, Darrell, Darrell, Darrell. It kicked off a week of national debate in the newspapers and stuff, like people going, the Yanks just don't get our sense of humour. Yeah, it's them that's the problem.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it probably dragged us forward pretty quickly just that it happening. If there was a positive to come out of it, I guess. That's true, true, yeah. I think it's better that that happened 10 years ago rather than now, because I think if you did it now, you'd get way too many idiots online going, what's wrong with it? Like, I think back then everyone just went, okay, yeah, that's bad.

But now you've got voices of other idiots online that just go, well, you can't do anything these days. Free speech. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Free face paint. Yes. So, let's fast forward a little bit. So while still relatively successful, Faithnam will continue to get sort of less commercial success,

the more albums they put out, especially in the United States, where, and his interest continue to waver in the band until he quit after a couple more albums, of which, you know, there were some great albums, I think, of theirs. I reckon every album was very different, right, as well. But they were all awesome. But didn't they sort of shared members a little bit? They had...

The guitar, Jim. Yeah, Jim Martin. They got rid of Jim Martin after Angel Dust. They then got a new guitarist for King for a Day. Which was the Bungle guy, I think. Trey Spruens played guitar on it, but then he didn't tour. Oh, right. over money and stuff like that.

So then they got to fill in to do the live shows, and then he was part of the band, and then they kicked him out before they recorded the next album. It seemed like there was a very short period of a settled lineup, which was, what, two albums? Yes. And either side of that, it was just rotated. Exactly.

You're exactly right. Yeah, the real thing in Angel Dust was the two same lineups, but before that and after that has been, you know, a lot of change. Jim Martin, the guitarists that they sacked after Angel Dust, because everyone hated him, is then went on to become a very successful pumpkin farmer. Really? Yes.

If people know the videos, they'll remember. He's the one with the crazy beard and flowing sort of black, frizzy hair. He's the one who looks like he, is the only one that looks like he should be in a metal band. Right. Yeah. But now pumpkin farmer.

Yes. Love that. Yeah. What a weird, yeah, right turn. There's a bit of it. Isn't the guy in, the other guy in Nirvana, who's not Dave Grohl? Christ. Yeah.

He's a farmer or something, isn't he? Maybe. One of the guys from Blur, the cheese farmer. Yeah, yeah. Huh. That's very strange. Right. So they disbanded.

Faith am all disbanded in 1998, after all that. Patton record a couple of other albums with his now maturing band, Mr. Bungle, or a bit less about porn and funk and things like that. Now more about settling down. Yes. Having some kids. Yeah. And farming pumpkin.

I'm going to teach my kid to ride a bike. I'd love to hear a song about someone teaching me to get a ride a bike. Oh, fucking hell. Pedal! Pedal! So this became the phase where he then started being in every band and every album and working with everyone. So he gets all over the joint now. He made a new super group called Phantamus.

he was just doing heaps of different stuff and of course when you push yourself and you do heaps and you do heaps different stuff you're going to make missteps I think he's missedap he made a hip-hop album called General Patton versus the Executioners which was better than it sounds but not much it's him so he's rapping yeah he's rap there's even there's a really bad

I don't want to accentuate the worst bits because there's plenty of stuff that I've just glossed over that I think's really good I'm a fan but there's a song basically recorded about the same time as like, you know, really we all got the internet was a lot more common. And there's a song called LOL

called Loser Online and it's just all about click your mouse and hit return and all this sort of stuff. It's like, oh. Yeah, if you've made a parody of someone trying to write about the internet 15 years ago, you would write this. Right, right.

Very bad. Sorry, a notable point in his history. is when he toured Australia with one of these bands, he asked my friends, the avalanches, to come and remix a song in another one of his projects called Peeping Tom. He went, I didn't know anything about this at the time, and I am friends with him.

I went to one of his, I want to make that clear. That's twice for the ones. That's low for me. They turned up at a show I was at. It may have even been the one, you know, you may have been there, Matt. Peeping Tom at the forum? No, it wasn't peeping Tom.

because Peapington wasn't created yet. Okay. So this was like, I think it was at Phantamus. At the old palace? Yes. On the geek tour? I think they played twice. It might be that one or it's the other one.

I don't think it was the geek tour when they play with Melvins as well. I think it was the other time. Were you there? I was so close. Yeah. I was so close. I was at the other one. Oh.

I was on the edge of my seat. That was electric. You could have been near this anecdote, but you weren't. You weren't. I could have been inside a do-go-on report. Oh, whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

So they played and my, and the Amalachians were there. I said, well, you guys hear. I know you don't like this guy's music. And they're like, oh, you're talking to them. Yeah. How come? Oh, I'm friends with them. Oh, okay.

I know you don't like this music because I know you. Yeah, yeah. Personally. So they were there and they said, oh, Patton just took us at the dinner to try and convince us to plan this album. I was like, fuck, what? And they're like, oh, yeah, we don't care. You know, whatever. Like, whatever.

Oh, we'll come. Yeah, we'll have dinner with him or whatever. And I remember they made it clear. He didn't shout us. He didn't pay for dinner. And I was like, fuck, you got to do it. You got to, you know, and they're like, oh, do you want to meet him or something? I'm like, yeah.

And they go, okay, all right, so we'll, well, we know him. It's no big deal. We'll just get you back. So they are to him, what you're. are to them. Yes. Yeah, yeah. We know him.

Yeah, yeah. We're afraid of my, Pat. No, they care way less about it. They're not bringing it up still. So then they go, okay, we'll just bring you backstage or whatever. And so then we went back. As soon as the band finished, I went backstage with him. And that, because he was really keen on getting them to work with him.

So I walked in with them. And Patton was just like, ah, boys! And just hugged me. Thought I was like one of the analysts as a hug me. Didn't have any shirt on. Had literally just walked off. stage was all sweating just hug me. I thought you meant you didn't have a shot.

No, no. Hug me. It's too nervous. I took it off. Is it hot in here? It feels hot in here. Hugged me and was like, oh man. And I was just like, this is fucking weird.

And then because I acted weird, he then looked back and then looked around and went, this guy's not in the van. I just hugged a fucking weirdo guy and like really regretted it after that. Did you just go from like 100 down to zero in that moment? Totally. Totally. Because then I started asking about his music And he was like, oh, this guy's just a fucking fan

Yeah I hate fan of shit in his face If only there was a middleman I could use And they never ended up doing the remix No Yeah And it crushed me because I was like, do it And then let me come over and play a triangle

Do something so that I can have played On a mickey track I was begging for it And they had no fucking interest So yeah, just adding to all the range of stuff he does. He made this insane album called, speaking of hotel rooms, he recorded this album in hotel rooms around the world.

When he was on tour, he would just have like a four-track tape recorder, and he would just record stuff into it and then slightly remix it with a limited sort of filters and that he had on it. So it's an album of just his voice, but it's not him singing. It's him making fucking insane noises and looping them and whatever. So it's just like an hour of just his voice and no instruments at all. It's like a podcast. Yeah.

It's called Adult Thames for Voice And it produced hit singles Like, hurry up and kill me, I'm cold Definitely felt that like I relate to that too hard A woman with the skin of the moon A lizard with the skin of a woman A leper with the face of a baby girl

And raped on a bed of sand Oh my God So if you want to give those tunes a whirl at some stage Have you listened to this album? I bought this album It's insane Can it grow? on you at all?

Is it just bad? You have to force yourself to listen to it. Right. So raped on a bed of sand isn't in the jogging playlist. No, it's... No, it's not. It's not. Look, it's worth listen just to see what I'm talking about.

But it's one of those things where even as a completest, I own it, but it doesn't go in the mix at parties. He sounds like a very frustrating guy to be a big fan of where you like, if you love something enough, you know, you engage with everything they put out. Yes. It seems like he's throwing in a lot of curveballs where it's like, oh, God damn, can't you make something? And he's also prolific as well. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yeah, he's someone where you've got to keep collecting, especially in the old days of CDs. Like, I would be, you know, these sort of albums would cost 50 bucks and stuff to be imported as well. And so you're like, I have to get this one as well now. You can't just get it online and whatever. Yeah. It sounds like he's trying to lose fans. Yeah. Is he one of those people that, like, he doesn't want to do something twice.

Yeah. So, yeah, people just go, cool, just do this again. He's like, all right, what about raped on a bed of sand? That's his answer to everything. Yeah. Yeah, so he then formed bands such as Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Neverman, Mondo Cain, Mondo Cane, which is basically him just singing old Italian pop songs from the 60s with a full orchestra. So that's not, that's not, oh.

Yes, totally. I wouldn't watch that. It was for free in Sydney, and so I flew up there, and it was an open-air gig, and it absolutely pissed. down and I'm just watching this man sing Italian songs in the rain with my girlfriend who was like, I wasn't into any of this particularly the rain. Is never men the one that he has with the guy from TV on the radio? Yes.

Yeah, right. I've never listened to that. Is that good? It's okay. It's one of those things where, like I said, if you stretch yourself that thin and you have a go at everything, you're not going to be good at everything. I think he's for raising the hip-hop are probably the least successful, I would say. He also got into film scoring

culminating in him scoring You know One of the great movies of all time Jason Statham's High Voltage 2 The much awaited sequel Yeah yeah Have you seen those movies They're fucking insane

High voltage Yes It's about Keeps his heart alive Is that one? He needs to keep getting electrocuted or something To keep himself alive Yeah right

So it's in an action movie Where he's trying to I don't know Do something And I don't know what it is Who cares? But he's got a quest to do something. But every five minutes, he's having to find, like, break into a prison and put himself

in the electric chair to get recharged. And then he's off on his mission again. He just has to keep finding more and more inexplicable ways of electrocuting himself. That was a big acting challenge for Jason. Yeah, yeah. Sort of just mastering the art of looking like you're being electric. Yeah, yeah. But am I overdoing the shaking or should my eyes roll back?

Which one? What's my, what do you call it? What's my, what do you call it? What's my motivation? You're being electrocuted again. 900 volts. Yeah, but this is more than like a defib, right? So I should probably go more. I imagine he's a pretty method kind of guy.

Just do it. Just electrocute me. I can't act. Surely if you're that guy, you're just carrying around a fork and just, you know, going for any powerpoint you find. It wouldn't be that hard. It wouldn't be that hard at all. Why you have to break into a prison?

Go to a Starbucks. There's a PowerPoint. Break into a prison with a fork. Oh, shit. Right, like, cafes hate it when people go in, like, can I just use a PowerPoint to charge my phone? If you go in, can I, A, borrow a fork and then B, jammed into one of the outlets? So you did that, and then you know that movie, and then you go, cool, can you do the music for that?

Awesome. And he says, so he's just a yes kind of guy. Yeah. An opportunity comes along. Yes. Something different, yeah. Which is infuriating, as you said, like as a fan, you just want him to go back and play with Faith and More. And it's like, no, I want to do the fork in the power socket movie.

Has he ever written a podcast theme song? I can give us email him and he'd be like, all right, better do it. That'd be, that's a great idea. Get your friends of the avalanches to ask him. How did you know I know? He also did the theme to Ryan Gosling's movie, the Place Beyond the Pines. So he did some proper movies as well. Great movie.

Sorry? Great movie. You liked that? What do you think of about the music? I don't remember it at all. Sorry to say. That's how you know it was well scored. Yeah.

It didn't stick out. That's what people have said about my comedy. We don't remember you on the line-up at all. I was like, well, that means it's good. If you speak to a lot of audience members, I've never done a gig. Faith and Moore did reform in 2009 and then toured and then eventually put out a new album called Soul Invictus in 2015. Now, like I said, he's done a lot of everything.

I put this in because I know you're a fan of this. I don't know about the other view three. because I know you're a big video games fan, Tommy. He, in 2007, he provided the voice for the video game, The Darkness. I don't know that one. You don't know that one? No. Well, what about this?

He also did the voice for this game in 2012, the Darkness 2. No, that one I do know. You heard of that one, right, right, right. You just never heard of the darkness. I'd never heard of darkness. Yeah, the darkness. Yeah, right. Are they connected in any way?

I don't have the three sources here, so I can't confirm anything. You're not a gamer, so you wouldn't know. Did you find yourself playing that second game going, I don't know how to play this because I didn't play the first one? Yeah, there's no instructions. They just assume that you're going to run straight on. Right. So why he did the voice, he did the voice of the character in it.

Yeah, right. The main voice in that game. Well, I'm disappointed. I thought you knew everything about video games. Yeah, I do often claim that. So no music, he's just a voice actor. Yeah, right. Surely he's in the recording booth and you're like edging around going,

do you know, maybe since you're in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. get a track in there as well. Actually, you know what, another movie he did the voice of. He did the, you know, the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend. Is that Will Smith? Yes. He did the voices of all the monsters on the movie.

Really? Yeah. Wow. It was just him going fucking ballistic, going crazy. Just taking a few of his good bits from raped on a bed of sand. Yeah. I was going to say, it sounds like this spoken, weird sampled, spoken word album really paid off for him in the long run. Yeah.

It's just basically a demo reel that he's put. Yeah, right. No. Matt's got an image of the darkness? I don't. I don't know. Is that Darkness 1 or Darkness 2, Matt? That's the original.

Oh, okay. Right, no. I don't know it. But you said, so they did reform faith no more. But you've also said a few times that he never goes backwards. How did he sort of justify that? Well, good question. So I think the word is money.

But no, I think what they did do was, because the other members of the, a band don't have as much going on. I think what they did was they sort of went, not behind his back, but they just jammed and came up with a bunch of stuff and then came to him and went, what do you think about this? And they went, and then Patton was like, oh, well, if it's already done, I guess all I have to do is scream a few times and you can loop that.

And then that's an album. Which is how the first one was made, right? That already, yeah, totally, totally. That's, I've never, because there's a band from Sydney that I really like called You Beauty and they work in that way. We're all the, everyone except for the singer, they just record all the. these tracks and they send it to the singer and then he just does his stuff over the top of it. That's such a bizarre way to work in a band.

Is that a weird? I don't know. And then I'll just put, I guess it's weird to like work the music out without having any idea of, you know, how the verses and choruses and stuff are going to fit into it, like vocally. Is that weird? Well, I don't know. It seems like it's happening more now because of the internet and people are collaborating

with people in different parts of the country, but also different parts of the world. And also like Elton John. And what's Bernie's name? I was about to say Jess works on Triple J so she knows about this stuff. And then I go to tell John. Is he the feet? Is the Rocket Man soundtrack the feature album this week?

Did they unearth him? He's our unearthed feature. It's a step down. I mean, he and what's Bernie? Bernie Torpen. Thank you. Fuck, I got to remember Torpen. They like live on opposite sides of the world and still do that where Bernie just

does all the lyrics and sends them to Elton. Well, the strokes, their last couple of albums, I think they've all done remotely. They've all done their parts separately without being in the same room. Hey, whatever works. If we could do a podcast and not have to be in the same room. We are doing that now. I'm in Thailand.

Rolling up balls into, no, no. Nothing, guys. Every room of the outside. Cover all basis. It was pretty well regarded as a comeback album as well. Yes. Yes, it was, but no, you're right. You always said, I'd never go back and do faith.

them all again and just be never do darkness three yeah but yeah they i think um they made it it easy for him so it's like why are you going to turn it down yeah and they do it off the back of it right yes and i think also the fact that you know you've been away from it for 15 years or whatever it is it's like all the whatever negative feelings you had you know you sort of grew out of it and whatever and went i think you met with them and went oh this is actually i think one of them got married and they met up at the wedding and went oh these guys are okay yeah i think it's that thing At one stage, they were touring so heavily with someone for that long. You guys just did England and you were touring together for like a two, three weeks or something like that.

You need a break after that. By the end, you were probably waiting for a 15-year break after that. It's a bit like that. I think they've toured for two years straight at one point. There must be something beyond, like, his pride that deep down, I mean, maybe not everyone, but there must be something fun to him about playing in front of the biggest audiences that you can. And Faithlemore is the only band that he can play stadiums and theaters in front of. But, I mean, like, he would still play mid-range shows, like the shows that we went and saw.

I think it was more, you know what, I've seen Faith Namor play a bunch, and you do get a little bit of an insight into it by seeing them play the same songs over and over. I've seen them play probably maybe five or six times, and I've been like, I've probably heard that song enough. And it's like, well, he's got to sing those songs every single. time. There's no, you can't, you know, with those stadium gigs, you can't get away with playing the B-sides and, oh, we won't play epic tonight.

Nah, mate, you've got to play it every night. Yeah. Get that fucking goldfish out there. Yeah, I was reading an article about the Black Keys recently because they've got a new album coming out and they would, the main, because they just took a pretty significant break before putting out this new album, like six years or something like that, five years something. And the main guy, the guitarist and singer was talking about that by the end of their last

tour that was so just over it and he was like yeah I'm up there you know just on autopilot just doing the songs but in my head just thinking about all the errands I have to run the next day and it's like you know you're not naive you know that that's probably how it works but it's like what a shame for you to put that out there that that's literally what was going on and probably will continue to be going on when you're back on tour for this album like just so you know guys when you're watching me up there I am no passion yeah I don't care at all I know you're feeling connected to me but I am not aware that if your presence. Right, this is a huge night for you because we're your favourite band.

I couldn't give less of a fuck. Like, keep some of the mystery, dude. You just start listing groceries that he needs. Oh, do I say that out loud? Take the kids to the doctor. I mean, this is the best audience we've ever played to. So now, bringing it up to the current day, where he is now is, so Faith and all haven't done anything for a few years.

And I think, they haven't disbanded it again, but there's nothing in the pipeline. It'd like to see him play again, but nothing's happening. And he's certainly not a driving person. So I think the other band would have to do that, make the whole album again and then give it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just ring him for a couple of conversations, record that, then like sample that, put it on the album.

Honestly, that would be incredible. If you wrote backwards and just made it a bit more spoken wordy and like just sort of made it a bit more mellow and then did that, that would be good. And you know what you want the lyrics to be, so you're sort of having to call him up and steer him towards certain things in the conversation. Who'd you say you love again? What is it? So they're just getting to re-record that original album.

Lyrics by lyric. Great. So now at the moment, he's currently in a hardcore band called Dead Cross where he sings hardcore punk songs with cut off genes, which is a great look for a 51-year-old. Yes. Fuck. It's not great.

I didn't know about that. When I saw him, I think maybe one of the last times I saw him was with peeping Tom. Yep. That was a great show, by the way. I'm not a massive fan of that album, but I saw that they only played once in Melbourne, so I was at that show as well at the forum, which I'd never been to the forum. Great venue. Yeah, the forum's awesome. And that show was great.

It was great. I thought it was much better than their album. So you guys were at the same show for that? Yes. Wow, this is incredible. Can you believe it? I saw him, yeah, I saw. And there was this bearded guy in the toilets who was watching me as I was rolling up,

shit into a ball, and I was like, who is this fucking weird? Ah, yes. It's all coming back to me now. But he would, for some reason, he was wearing a hairnet that whole tour. Yes. He thought that was his cool look. Yeah, he was wearing a suit and like a white suit, I think, and a hairnet. Yeah.

Is he okay? In a deli, sort of. Yeah. Yeah. People know what hair net. With really, like he was, yeah, like he was working in a fast food shop or something. like that and he had the grease back hair and the hairnet over the top of it. Yeah.

And the suit. It was, he was going for a look. I don't know. I don't mind it. Just picturing it in my head mentally. I thought it wasn't too bad. Actually, there was worse. When he was really going hip-hop, I was like, this is not looking good.

He just must rock up on day one of the tour. And the band members are like, we can't say anything, but what the fuck? Yeah, yeah. For the last time, we don't have knits. Come on. Hi, Mike. Actually, that reminds me. So he was working with, you know, Dan the Automator?

Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys know that guy, music producer, Dan Automator? He did some stuff with him, and then he formed a band, another band, with him, and they called themselves Crudeau. And they did a few warm-up gigs, and they recorded a couple of tracks that you can find online. But I think they must have had a fight. Anyway, nothing actually happened. They didn't record an album.

They didn't do proper shows. I think they did one or two really small warm-up shows. Anyway, they obviously were aiming for that to be a bigger thing. because Dan the Automated was quite well known. Paton's quite well known. Anyway, I don't know how this happened, but there's a movie out there. There's quite a decent-sized movie

where I think they sort of foreshadowed them being big, and they name-checked this band, Crudeau, and they play a bit of it. And one of the characters is like, oh, my favourite band's Crudow, oh, let's pop some on. And then you could hear a little bit. It's like, they never came out.

Wow. Never a band. That sort of makes it better. Yeah. It's very weird. It seems like a fictional band that the filmmakers went into a bit of effort to make something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're like the modern Josie and the pussy cats. Yes, yes. Right, so that's where he is at the moment. He's dead cross. I'm pining for him to go back to Faith No more. Now, like, his legacy, I guess, is that, you know, it's nice. I don't know if you guys get this when you have an artist that you really like and you sort of barrack for them and you, you know, you look up

and if they win an award or something, you're like, yeah, great, because he's my man, you know, he's the guy I'm really, you know, into an Ibaric for. He's like a football team sort of thing. That's how I do it, I guess. Especially if you've been into something for like a very long time, was it started out and then they get to the point where they're being nominated for and winning Grammys is pretty like exciting.

Not that the Grammys necessarily mean anything, but it is like excited. Yes. Some sort of notification, but some sort of. Not a ride. Like when human nature got the residency in Vegas. I was like, yeah, boys. We did it. I felt a part of that. Yeah.

I teared up when I drove down the strip in Vegas and saw the big build. boards for the Thunder Down Under. It's like, oh, just some hometown here. That is, you know, talking of Haye at Saturday, that's very weird when you go to Vegas and you look around at all the billboards. And most of the acts there are from, have been on Haye A Saturday. Yeah, right. It's like the Haye, Hey, Hey, at Saturday retirement home is Vegas.

Because there's like Rita Rudner and the amazing Jonathan and all these weird American acts that have gone to Vegas. The leggy Rhonda Birchmore? No, I think it's a Rhonda Birchmore impersonator over there. Get Ozzie up there. Get Ozzie doing a show. Yeah. So like I said at the start of the show, I was sort of saving that to the end,

but he's been named the greatest singer of all the time. So you read that sort of thing and you go, oh, wow, he's got the most octaves. That's cool. You're barricing for him. Oh, wow. People, you know, really regard him as highly. However, this is the thing. Like, if I'm explaining Pat to someone like that, that's the thing I would lead into.

But you can't do it with, like, influence. You know, you've got to, you know, say David Bowie. If you're a big David Bowie fan, you can go, oh, he's influences everywhere. He's influenced this person and this sort of music. With Patton, what you can literally say about Patton's legacy or his influences on other bands and singers are people like Hubestank, Papa Roach, corn and incubus. They're the people that go, we couldn't have done this without Mike Patton. And Patten's like, fuck, I've wasted my life. He kind of invented New Metal, right?

Sort of, yeah. Or he inspired people to invent it. Yeah, yeah. Pretty brutal. He was a gateway drug to New Metal. Right. Yeah. So there's an argument to be made that he's one of the worst artists of the modern era.

If you had a time machine and you could go back and kill baby like Patton. He's a musical Hitler. You're right. Yeah. He was the one. He didn't kill anyone, but he inspired people to kill music. He's Hitler's dad. Yes.

Yeah, wow. What's your favorite of his non-faith No More project? Tough question. I love the. album Disco Valenti from Mr. Bungle. Okay. And I love most of, right at the very top of that mount would be probably a couple of Phantamus.

Phantamas? Yes. Absolutely. What do you think, Matt? Yeah. Like directors cut? You're thinking? Oh, no, I don't like that as much.

I like the crazy shit. Right. Because they're straight comments. That's the crazy bungal. Yeah. So I like California probably. A lot of people like California because it's a bit more straight poppy. Apparently when they went to a.

recorded, they told their label, we're going to do a bungal album only pop. And the record label is like licking their lips. This is going to be huge. And then they handed it in. They're like, duh. Yeah. No one's. Yeah.

But I mean, it is way more. That's Brian Wilson on myth. Yeah. It's not an actual pop album. It's nice to listen to. Compared to their others, it's smooth going. I think Tomahawk has a lot of just sort of great rock song. It's sort of much more, again, easy.

Very straight ahead. Yeah. But that's not, that's, I mean, most of the. bands. He wasn't driving that band at all. That was the Jesus was a guy, right? Twain Dennison, yes. I think he was just adding lyrics yet. Yeah. Oh, it's, yeah, I think Faith the Moore's probably still my favorite of them. And then, yeah, I, even though you shout on the, uh, Mike Patton's style, shot on the Mr. Bungle album, the original. I really like that album.

Yeah. That might be in style. That's not one I listen to very much. I feel it's a bit teenage boy, yeah, well, maybe that's who I am. Yeah, yeah, sure. I, I'm not judging. I can't see how old you are on a little. that beard. I don't know. No one knows. But yeah, there was a track he did with Elaine, I don't know how to pronounce the name. Benis.

Fuck. Because that wasn't him. Johannes, Joe Haynes, Joe Haynes from, used to be in Queensland. Oh, yes. I love that song. Yeah, me too. That was one of my favorite songs from last year. But I couldn't really figure out what pattern was on that. He was sort of singing, he was singing underneath and a little bit.

Right. I love that song. Yeah. Yeah. It's a sweet mix of sort of that quots the sound and a little, there is pattern in there. Maybe that's what I like about it. Yeah. He's not influencing it too.

I think when he has free reign. I completely agree with what you, what you're about to say. When he has free range, I'm not that into it. It gets, it's like he's testing you. It's going, go on. Listen to this. Well, I think he's not good enough. Right.

To be, like, just him all the time. I think he's an excellent collaborator. Needs people to rein him in. Yes. I completely agree. Because he's got the six octaves. Yes. He's a weapon.

Yeah. But like all weapon, you know, you're only dangerous in the right handler. Yeah, exactly. Totally. Is that a thing? I tried to sound like I knew what I was talking about. The right handler. Chandler the handler.

I tried to sound like I knew what I was talking about killing. Well, you let yourself down, I'm afraid. But you've inspired me to go back, and I haven't really been deep into him for a while, so I'm going to go back and deep dive, I think. Yeah, it depends what you like. That Dead Cross album, it's not too bad. I don't mind it.

I haven't heard that. And that's a good example of him not being 100% responsible for the music, so it's good. I don't think I ever really gave Disco Voluntea a chance, which I know is Mike Patton fans listening will be like, what a... Pretender. I reckon I listen to it every day for about three years.

And it's bad shit crazy, but I love it. And it changed the way I listened to music because I came off the back of the first album and just was like, oh yeah, clowns and pornography and whatever. This is funny and cool. And then I wasn't 17 anymore. Okay, all right. Look, that's a little personal. So, but it's so out there that it actually made me want to listen to different stuff.

Yeah. I went, oh, it's not just all pop music out there. You can go and listen to whatever you want, and all this weird, weird stuff is still music if you allow it to be music. So, yeah, it really, I find myself attracted to people that are genre hopping and a lot of different stuff. Like the two artists I've always listened to for, you know, my whole life, is him and Elvis Costello, who does a lot of, lot of different stuff as well.

So I think I get a bit bored with someone if they just do, do the same thing sort of all the time. Because there's two ways you can go with those bands that have longevity. You either have to keep morphing, like Bowie or Patton or someone. Or the bands that go, we've figured out our sound. We're going to do basically the same thing album after I'm like ACDC or something. We're sort of just reinventing the wheel every time. Wait, that's not what that means, is it?

They're doing the same thing. They're not reinventing the wheel. They're slightly modifying the wheel. Yeah. They're putting new spokes in the wheel each time. Jack White's kind of a good example where he has like, a bunch of different side things that all sort of sound relatively the same. Yeah, yeah.

But I do, I mean, I do like him. But I guess, yeah, you only get bored if you really listen to too much of it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. The black keys are a band, I think, that are pretty, I mean, they've changed a little bit, but they've kind of. They've made their sound bigger, but they've done pretty much the same thing for a long time, yeah. Right. Well, go back, Disgo Volante.

I do listen to it every day. Like, I forced the lab that I worked in, in the Ballarat Unit. to listen to every day of fucking uni there for a year, I think. I just, I commandeered the music system in there and just played that. And everyone was like, fuck this album. That does feel, yeah, like you would have been unpopular. I think... A real misfit.

Yeah. I think they got very sick. I think I was in a lab where everyone else was a year below me and I was like, I'm the oldest. I'm fucking playing these albums. They're like, fuck, I can't wait for next year. I can't argue with that. Yeah.

A bungal done? Have they? What was the last thing they did together? Yeah. There's one of the members lives in Melbourne, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, McKinnon. Yes, you're right. I had him on my community radio show about 10 years ago.

Great. And I did a special on Mike Patton's music. Yep. And he was just sitting in talking it through. Yeah. I think I don't know a CD song. I hardly remember what it was about. But it's so weird that he lives here for some reason.

He was. So I met, he did a solo show. He moved here and he did a solo show. And I was talking to him, got to know him a tiny bit. And then I saw him. him at one of those shows, like when Patton came out to do phantomus or something like that. And I saw him, went, hey, bear, how are you going? How is Bungle going to get back together?

What's going to happen there? And he goes, I'm about to go and ask him that, actually. And he went backstage and then I saw him, I'm like, how'd you go? He's like, no good. Wow. Yeah. That solo out of me, he did was really good. Was it about 10 years ago?

Yes. It was called, I know the one. Yes. Yeah. It was okay. It had Patton on it. Right. Yeah, it did one track.

And it was in that same song. sort of world. But yeah, real fun album. Yes. Anyway, we're trailing off now. Yeah, yeah. This is this usually... This is turned into the AV club.

Yeah. How does this usually end? I feel like I've already used my Tadar moments. No, that was great. That was a really good report. Okay, oh, good. I really wanted to say, I hope you didn't buy a house. Yeah.

It actually looks really good. Fuck, you've been sitting on that call back for a while. I saw Dave clock at. Yeah. Sometimes you just know how it's going to end. He's got a big cue card in one of them. And why is he bringing out that hair dryer now? How's this show going to finish?

What are you doing that? The big finale. Are we going to do our Patreon stuff or do that later? Do you see that separately later? Just get through it? That sounds good. So we can get through it. That's a spirit.

So we can not make you guys hang around forever. Maybe we should thank them for coming in then. Yeah, absolutely. And then say we'll go. Yeah. Honestly, though, that was a lot of fun. Thank you very much for bringing that in. And we could feel, and I'm glad I told you to pick something

that you've got passion for because I can feel the passion in it for you. That's one thing the listeners' biggest feedback we ever get is when they can hear passion in a topic we do. They love those episodes the most, I reckon. We can't do them anymore because I talked about something I really loved and Dave shat all over. Oh, really? We talked about river dance for an hour. And also, do you have anything up your sleeve that you like anymore? Surely you've already used all the stuff you like?

I still haven't done an episode on The Saints. I'm holding that bad. Hang on, the Saint Kilda Football Club or the Band The Saints. The St Kilda football club Right Because you do look like you would be into the Saints I like the Saints Maybe you can just work up to it

Do the band the Saints Get yourself ready for the Singapore club And put a few little Sinkilda Like bits of trivia in there Yeah Easy way in and see what the audience And go we like that But we didn't like the band bit

We like the football bit Just dip my toe in Yeah Wow That's good That's good You're getting a bit of heat for this Sinkilda episode

I like this Yeah I mean if you want it I'm going to get online and start to ask, doing a petition for it. In Coomoui. Yes. Perfect. Now, do you, oh, sorry, one more question.

And then I'm done. Do you know what you're going to talk about in Coomoui? Not yet. No. We thought we'd get your advice about it. I think we're going to do mini reports, like an umbrella topic. Oh, okay. And then do individual reports, but maybe you could help us out of that.

Oh, I was, yeah, sure. I was hoping that you do something about Coomouille, because I would like to know more about the place I go every six months. That's good we can do a Thailand special maybe. Surely there's an information centre we could go to. Start reading out pamphlets. Yeah, just reading brochures. Yeah, at the airport.

Just while you're waiting for the taxi. You're just cleaning out the container of pamphlets. Did you know you can swim with dolphins here? Oh, well, did you know that you could go and get a handbegger at Hooters? Tricking a tour guide into coming and doing the report on your podcast, it'd be pretty great. Please tell me more I'm going to splurge on a lonely planet and absolutely wipe the floor with you dumb shit

Nice But yeah no we're really really excited about it I guess this time next week ish after this episode comes out We'll all be over there Yeah Yeah And you guys are about to do an episode of our show

So people can listen to that If you don't listen to us already And you enjoyed this Yeah so maybe just in case people I'm unaware of the little dumb dumb club. Tell us a bit about the show. I know you've recently celebrated your 450th episode. I don't know about celebrating, but we did it.

See, you've been podcasting. Oh, we've got to do another report now. We'd be celebrating having something better to do, but we did the 450th episode. But, no, we just, you know, it's, look, you guys are lucky in a way in that you've got something to talk about every week. You have a specific focus, whereas we just have to try and think of the dumb things that happen every week. hopefully walk into traffic and something happens so we got something to talk about on the episode. Yeah.

The original pretense was that it was sort of like the backstage at a comedy club? So I think we started our podcast thinking we were laughing a lot more, having more fun backstage than we were on stage, which is, you know, a review of our on-stage limitations, maybe. But yeah, it's just like, you know, when you sit around with comics, and I mean, you have a lot more fun off-mic than you probably have on-mire. Mike on this thing as well. So it was basically just that, which then turned into fucking 450 episodes.

And you basically have all the biggest comedians in Australia and international. Who have all say yes. But we do try and have like if someone comes out and we've had a few good names, haven't we? Yeah, we've had its good names. Bill Burr, we've had. Mark Marin. We just had Russell Howard. It came and did a show of ours in England.

Who else? Who else has been? Tim and Eric have been on once. Oh yeah, they were too. Had some really good people. Hannibal Burras. Yes. Yes.

And they're all the international people I think we're trying to think of because Australian people are a lot easier to get a hold of, I guess. But internationally, who is there? Americans we've had, who else in America did we get? Paul F. Tompkins, people might know, has been on a bunch. Scott Orkman from Comedy Bang Bang. Yeah, yeah. So it's fun.

It's a good way of meeting people overseas, I think, is that? Yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah. Go and look it up. There's like 450. Little Dummedum Club. com.

Yeah. And so we're about for people to see a bit of behind the curtain, we're about to turn these mics off for one second and then restart our podcast and record that. And I hope you guys have got your reports ready. Ready to go. History of hair dryers. We're firing up. But yeah, awesome.

So check out the little Dumb Dumb Club. And if you are so inclined, come and meet all five of us in Ghost Meal Week this time next week. It's coming down, baby. Just come on break up with your... shitty partner, quit your dumb job. Let's go to CoSemile. Or take a week off your job and tell your partner that you'll be back soon. Or take a well-earned annual leave and bring your partner.

Oh dear. I've already quit my job. I did not think about this. I forgot that I had annual leave. Oh, God. Sorry, I forgot to tell you there was other options. I feel this is my fault, though. I was going to say, we'll say goodbye to Tommy and Carl now

and we'll kick on through our Patreon section in one moment. But thank you, Tommy and Carl. Thanks, sir. Bye. See you, thank you. We've Net lost the dead weight. The dead weight of? Well, Tommy, Carl, and also Jess is gone as well.

I should say probably the talent. The three-fifths. The dead weight could not leave the room and it's Matt and I on the microphones for the Patreon segment at the end of the show. But I reckon that was a lot of fun that episode. That was so much fun. I had a great amount of time. And I do. I love Mike Patton and I look forward to.

There were bands and. a few different outfits he didn't even talk about shows you how many different projects he's had over the years. It's actually crazy. I thought I'd heard of a few of them, but then there were ones that I had no idea he did any hip-hop. Yeah, right. And there's others that I, I've meant to get into, and I'm looking forward to going home and listen to now as well. It sounds like it's just like a multiple month deep dive. Yeah, totally. to it. But, yeah, it's now time for everyone's favorite section of the show, which is the fact quote or question.

Yes. Now, the way this works is if people want to support the show, they can do so at any time by going to Patreon.com slash do go on pod. And in exchange, you get a bunch of rewards, including two bonus episodes every month that no one else here. We just released one just last week at the last day of May, which was our Pranks special. We did a mini report on a prank from history. The story I told was pretty wild. It was absolutely wild, your one. I think they were all obviously pretty funny for being pranks,

but your one was especially well. It was fascinating. So if you want to hear episodes like that, there's a bunch of other bonus episodes still up online at patreon.com slash do go on pod. And another segment of the show brought to you by Patreon is the fact quota question. That's right. And this week's fact quote of question comes from Patreon, Craig Moat, M-O-W-A-T. Oh, Moat.

Muay? Moe. And if he's from America, Craig. Sorry, Craig. Craig or Craig. Craig Moe. Or Craig Mouet. Craig Moe.

Craig Moe. And the title is given himself, because you had to give yourself your own title as well, is Ozzie podcast aficionado, as all of my favorite podcasts are from Planet Broadcasting, which is cool. Oh, fantastic. Very, very nice. Thank you so much, Craig. That makes me think that he is a Craig probably, because if you were Ozzie,

he wouldn't say all my favorite podcasts are Australia. That's true. Probably. I mean, he could be from the United Kingdom. Yeah. He could be from, you know, Japan or Sweden. I mean, I could look it up, but I wouldn't want to get invasive, Craig.

You know, your privacy is your privacy. So I'm going to leave your identity to be your own identity. Even though on the next section of the Patreon thing, we always read out the places. Still, Craig and Craig have given us a fact this week. And this fact is... Love a fact, Craig. Love a fact, Craig.

This week's fact is, the proper term for a group of rhinos is a crash. I think a crash of rhinos seems pretty appropriate. Pretty apt. Yeah, big time. You've nailed that. an Aussie podcast officialado

Craig Mowett sadly with less and less rhinos on the planet there's less and less crashes on this planet that's a bit sad

isn't it well less crash boom bang a little ass boom crash opera oh now you're talking my language onion skin that's an Australian

band from the 80s anyway thank you so much Craig you bloody legend so you can you can be like Craig and get into our fact quote or question segment

if you go and support us on Patreon and it's the Sydney Shineberg deluxe rest in peace level. That's right. Rest in peace, Sydney. So every time we read out a fact quote or question, it is in the memory of the great man, Sydney Shineberg. I should also say that as well as do go on,

when you're supporting us our mini podcast network on Patreon, you're also supporting shows like Dave's bookchete podcast. This week's episode of BookChate. What was it about Dave? Oh, that's right. It just came out yesterday. and I had special guests from the Ooo Spooky podcast, Adam Knox and Luca Muller, and we talked about a commonly requested dystopian novel, Brave New World.

Great. Yeah. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into that. Yeah, get stuck in. And this week's primates episode, this blows my mind to tell you, but it was about the band The Monkeys, and my guest was singer from Tism and many other bands, including Damien Cowell's disco machine.

machine. Damien Cow. That is so, so cool. What was it like sitting there going toe to toe? He was sitting right there. It still blows my mind. And he was so lovely. We chatted before and after the podcast as well. Just the lovely.

You know, they say don't meet your heroes. Well, he blew that all out of the water because it was such a lovely time. A delight. A delight. You put that down? Put it down. Oh, not colorful. I'm good.

I got that far. I'm good. And the monkeys had a wild story. They were a, I didn't use this term in the episode, but they are known as, or they became known as the prefab four, because they were sort of like the prefabricated fab four, which is a beautiful. Damn that, that's good.

What a put down. Yeah. I regret not bringing up in the episode. But anyway. Talk about how on the Simpsons Mard was bullied for the lunchbox. Oh, no. Do you remember that? There's a flashback to her childhood, and she's going through therapy.

She gets on with the monkey's lunchbox and so on, and so on says, you know that you don't even play there. own songs and she just starts screaming. That's great. Good stuff. But we learned in the episode that they did go on and write some of their own songs. So anyway, a bit of sizzle there. Yeah, okay.

All right. Episode 50 of primates. Congratulations, sir. Thank you so much. Is that 50 in a row? You haven't missed one either. I haven't missed one in a row. I'm on a hot streak.

Yeah, hell yeah. Keep it going. That's amazing. And, oh, is this, I could ask you probably off air, but I've been watching Catch 22 on Stan. Oh yeah. A Hulu program. Any chance you could do a catch 22 one day?

Yes, I bought a copy of it because it's so commonly requested. And I'd like to read it before if I did watch the show. I wouldn't want to watch that first. You know, do the book first. So maybe it's coming up, hopefully. Great. A bit of Thailand gets reading. Yeah, you want to talk about it?

I would love to be on here. I put you on that one for sure. Because I have enjoyed the series, but I have heard from one of our patrons, Brian Kolella. Hello, Brian. On his Twitter, he said that it's not as good as the book. Okay, sure. Off in the way.

I love people talking like that. Because I'm like, because I think it's really good. So I imagine how good the book is. How good the book is, yeah. Anyhow, now what we like to do is thank a few of our Patreon supporters. And the way we like to do it, normally is Jess will give us a little game to play. But today, we thought, because we were talking earlier in the episode, about anagrams and how Dave would never notice before,

but Dave's name is hiding the word wank. Yeah, and wanker. And wanker. Yeah. And wanked? I've never thought about wanked. Oh, that's good. So Dave's pulled open a some sort of anagram making website.

And we're going to anagram-wise everyone's name. So I'm going to thank him and then Dave's going to give you some options. Yeah. Me some options. So I'm on new. wordsmith.org over here. Oh, that's your home page, probably. Yeah, of course.

Firstly, I'd love to thank, and I love this place name at least. I'm not sure I've ever been there, but from Mullum Bimby in New South Wales, Australia. Love that. I'd love to thank Abby Garland. Abby Garland. So, Abby, you, on Wordsmith.org,

you have 4,177 possible options, and number one is probably my favorite here. Okay. You've gone through a mall? Yep. Beanbag Lardie. Oh, that's great. You're a classic beanbag.

Beanbag Lardy. Or a Gabel Randy. Yeah, that describes me right now. What's the first word? Gabble. Gable. Or a dabble angry. Oh, yeah, that's me as well.

Benal Gab Dyer. Stop describing me. Such invasive ways. Hopefully one of those will stick with you, Abby, for your high school. band. There's 4,000 options here. It's amazing. Many of them are Blab.

Blab Day range. Yeah, so a lot of them are gibberish. Yeah, yeah. But Beanbag Lardi, that's the top one. That's amazing. Beanbag Lardy, I love that. Thank you so much, Abby, your legend. And thank you so much for your support.

I'd also love to thank from Bristol in VA, which is probably Virginia, Dave. And do we ask this question regularly? Yeah. There's a question that comes up a bit. We must have a few Virginians or whatever. VA is. I mean, it's got to be, yes, it is. So from Bristol, Virginia, I'd love to thank Stephen Jones.

Stephen Jones. Now, you have the honour, Stephen, of having the word peen in your name. Oh, great. Keene four. Keene for. My favourite of which is peen sent Josh. Oh, peen sent Josh, yeah. I mean, that's a thing of beauty, isn't it?

Peen sent Josh. So that means that Josh sent peen would also work. Yes. Actually, I'm sure it's here somewhere. Josh sent pain. Oh, about Josh. We've got to go with that. And honestly, I think that is the best one we're going to get here.

We've also got Sheen-pent Jots, but that doesn't mean much, does it? No, it means less. Penn Jots, might have been something. But yeah, I think, what was it, Josh Sent Paine? Josh St. PIN. The winner, I think. Thanks so much, Stephen Jones, Yeledge. from Eastern Heights in Queensland, Australia.

And I would like to go on the record and say, I still love you, Queensland. Kate Mallory. Kate Mallory. Your anagram here that I've chosen is, alarm elk Troy. Alarm Elk Troy. I like that a lot.

Or the number one option out of the... I think elk alarm is better. Elk alarm Troy? Elk alarm. I like the idea of living in an area where you need an alarm set up in case of elk. Yes, that's true. Possibly.

And I name that alarm, Troy. That's my elk alarm, Troy. I'd love to introduce you. It's a man. My elk alarm is a man named Troy. He yells at. Elk! There's an elk!

Troy? Get out of bed. There's an elk here. Go have a look. Troy's this a false alarm again? No, no, look. It's an elk. The man who yelled elk.

There's the top three here, though, that come up for Kate Mallory. of the 1,000 options. Malaki Lott. Oh, I love Malarkey's word. I remember one of the first times I heard it or really pricked up my ears was watching Buffy, way back in the day when Buffy was on TV, obviously. And who was his name? It was the dad from Problem Child.

And he was also the dad in eight things about your daughter or something, how to date your daughter or something. And he was in Buffy? Yeah, it was the bad guy on one episode of Buffy. Turned out he was a robot. But he was like a real old school guy and he was dating Buffy's mom. Oh. And he started saying, I remember it that he said this a lot, but he said,

I won't stand for this Malaki. Great line. Yeah, great line. What was that guy's name? Malarkey line. I've also just got Koala Myrtle. Koala. And Karate Molly.

That's not a good nickname, Karate Molly. Oh, that's a good nickname. It's really good. Yeah, strong ones. You're going to know this guy when I tell you his name. John Ritter. Okay, maybe not. John Ritter doesn't mean anything to you?

No, I'm just, I've got the wrong tab open here. You've got the John Ritter tab open. Kate Mallory. Is Mallory the name of Michael Mallory, the man who wouldn't die? Was it Michael Mallory? Oh, Malloy. Oh, I'm way off there. No, that's close enough.

Okay, great. You're always there to pick me back up. I give that to you. You can have it. Thank you so much, Kate. Oh, okay, I still like Elk Alam Troy. Yeah. I'd also love to thank from Ben Fleet in Essex, Great Britain, Daniel Smith.

We've got 10,000 options for Daniel Smith. I'll just give you the first 500 here. Thank you so much. Okay. Hand elitism. That's you. You got great hands. That's good stuff.

Thank you so much. Or hailed mints. It's in your hailing mints. I think that they're both really good. I'm pretty sure if this is the right Dan Smith, I'm pretty sure we met Dan Smith when we're in the UK. Uh-huh. And a great mustache.

Love a good mode. Came to my stand-up show and then he also came to one of our podcasts. If I'm remembering you right. But I mean, there's probably other Daniel Smiths. There is another. And one final underground for Daniel Smith. We love a dame here. Oh, yeah.

Have you ever heard of Dame shit nil? No, I haven't. Dame shit, Neil. Dame Nell shit. My lady. Oh, my lady. Ah, my dame. That's pretty good.

Dame shit, Nill. That means no shit. Nile shit. No shit. Dame, no shit. She doesn't fuck around. If you want the truth, go to Dame Nill shit. Thank you so much, Daniel Smith.

I'd also love to thank from Evesham in Great Britain. remembering that I know that you pronounce words differently in Great Britain so it's probably not evesham it's probably eavem or something you probably aren't meant to pronounce half the letters but anyway it's spelled evesham or eversham everham Matthew Millwood oh Matthew Millwood only 5,000 options for you I'm afraid

but of the 5,000 I've picked out whammed wart lit oh yeah you got to wham that wart lit you got to wham it you got to ward it that shit is lit. We've also got a dame here. Dame warmth wilt. Please.

Say hello to my little friend. Dame warm wilt. Thank you so much. Matthew, obviously, a beautiful name, Matthew in itself. But with two T's the correct way. Yes, the one and only way. I'm going to spend on the Bible. Let's not get too efficient with those T's.

Obviously, you need two T's. If you're spelled Matthew, Matthew. Matthew. It's not Matt Hugh. It's not Matt Hugh. What are we doing? What is this amateur hour? Get another tear.

Get out of here. Yeah, filthy animal. Thank you so much, Matthew. Yeah, you non-filty animal. And then finally, Dave, did you get a surname for this one? No, there's no surname for this one. So it is... Oh, this is going to be...

There's limited options for the anagram generator. Well, from Bell Griffin in Dublin. I could just say Dublin. From Dublin in Ireland, it's Craig. Craig. It's like Adele. It's like Beyonce. It's Craig. Craig. How many Craigs could there be in Dublin? Well, the anagram solver here, I'm afraid, has only given us two options. I'm going to give him both to you. Okay. Craig I.

Craig I is in CRAG and then second word I. Okay. And the other one is cigar. Wow. That has blown my mind. Craig is an anagram of cigar. I didn't know that. Holy shit. I reckon Craig probably did. Yeah.

But that's, Craig, I'm sorry, you gave us one option. Do you think that there's a possibility that that Craig is the same Craig as our fact Craig? Holy shit, it's possible. Could you, could it be? I mean, it could be. Could it? Could it be? I believe it could be.

Thank you so much, Craig. Thank you so much. All the Craig. Or Craig. All the Craig. All the cigars. all the cray guys. And thanks for everyone that supports the show on Patreon.

Maybe there's an episode you think a friend yours might like in particular. I think maybe you need to tell them to skip. get past the babble at the start that's up to you tell them when the report says they're gonna like us before they like the babble i think right i think i think people you see people's comments sometimes like shut up and get at the point yeah sorry about that wait which is it shut up or get to the point i can't do both um but we don't take that personally okay honestly i i feel the same way sometimes listen to podcast so no no that's when we think oh god oh god what have we done um but I know also a lot of people love the babbles

so thank you. They're the people who are still listening now. If you don't like the babbles, you are probably not listening to this far in. But if you want to get onto us in other ways other than just listening, which is not in so many ways is not. I'm a bit sick and I'm waning.
