                                         My name is Tommy Dasolo.
                                         
    
                                         Sitting opposite me, the other half of the program, Carl Chandler.
                                         
                                         G'day, dickhead.
                                         
                                         What have you got for us up the top?
                                         
                                         Hey, so... Start strong.
                                         
                                         All right, bang.
                                         
                                         Just get in there, mate.
                                         
                                         A game.
                                         
                                         Just fucking go for it.
                                         
    
                                         Heading up the podcast with this sweet tale.
                                         
                                         So we are recording this just before we leave to go to Perth to do our live podcast in Perth.
                                         
                                         Correct.
                                         
                                         And we've got a lot of people booked in.
                                         
                                         We've got a lot of interest.
                                         
                                         We've got a lot of listeners in Perth.
                                         
                                         There is a lot of interest, isn't there?
                                         
                                         They seem like good people.
                                         
    
                                         They seem like good people over there.
                                         
                                         Until I got this text message with my number being out there all over the internet from
                                         
                                         a person I don't know.
                                         
                                         Can I have a free ticket to your Perth show?
                                         
                                         And I'm sure they got a polite, courteous response.
                                         
                                         You would think so.
                                         
                                         I haven't actually replied because I was too mad at the time.
                                         
                                         So I was like, oh, I don't want to reply when I'm this mad
                                         
    
                                         in case they end up buying a ticket.
                                         
                                         But then they said, we'll reward with Nando's.
                                         
                                         So it's proof that they know about the show,
                                         
                                         but they're just shit people.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But it's kind of like, because you could just like squeeze
                                         
                                         the cost of the ticket amount of money worth of Nando's out of them.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         And then it's just like, well, why don't you just buy a ticket...
                                         
                                        ...and don't get me Nando's?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Why don't you...
                                         
                                         Well, yeah, I'll be interested to see if this person turns up.
                                         
                                         Because I haven't replied.
                                         
                                         So we'll do a shout-out at the Perth show.
                                         
    
                                         By the time this is out, we will have met this person as well...
                                         
                                        ...because we're recording this well in advance.
                                         
                                         But a little bit of sizzle for next week.
                                         
                                         Should we talk about this?
                                         
                                         That we have been given a tour.
                                         
                                         We've been promised a tour of
                                         
                                         McDonald's when we're in Perth. Yes.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah. Parents of
                                         
    
                                         Joel Creasy, friend of the show,
                                         
                                         who own McDonald's, are going to give us a
                                         
                                         tour. And we just heard they're going to
                                         
                                         teach us how to make a burger back there.
                                         
                                         So we're going to get a little training set. I think
                                         
                                         this means we work at McDonald's now. I think
                                         
                                         they've employed us. I think we have to live
                                         
                                         in Perth now. I've got more job prospects over there than I do back here.
                                         
    
                                         Let's get rid of the podcast.

                                         Fleet.
                                         
                                         Yay!
                                         
                                         Because the show has been on, your show
                                         
    
                                         Down Your Feet, has been on the television.
                                         
                                         It's been on the television. Very well
                                         
                                         hidden, but it was on the television. But I feel like
                                         
                                         that's kind of like a big thing. It's like a
                                         
                                         closure for a big thing of the podcast.
                                         
                                         Because one of the first episodes of the show you were on
                                         
                                         and you were talking about I think you were either just about to film.
                                         
                                         No, you just filmed it.
                                         
    
                                         I think we were actually filming.
                                         
                                         Yeah, this was in the late 50s.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         And you promised both of us a role in season two.
                                         
                                         So now that season one's been on.
                                         
                                         It's still happening.
                                         
                                         It can happen.
                                         
                                         I do like the idea that you'd do a season two now
                                         
    
                                         with a gap of like six years in between.
                                         
                                         It's like, anyway, here's what happened the day after the season finale.
                                         
                                         It's like everyone's visibly quite older.
                                         
                                         Something happened that made everyone age radically.
                                         
                                         You know when you have those reunions and they bring people back and you go,
                                         
                                         oh, they all look different.
                                         
                                         You can have a reunion after the very last episode and everyone's going to look weird
                                         
                                         and much older.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, true. You've got a reunion after the very last episode and everyone's going to look weird and much older. Yeah, true.
                                         
                                         You've got to write that into the story.
                                         
                                         Maybe there's some sort of radiation beneath the stage
                                         
                                         that made everyone age quicker.
                                         
                                         Your both go-to idea is radiation.
                                         
                                         What's your go-to advanced ageing idea, Carl?
                                         
                                         Other than time.
                                         
                                         Time itself.
                                         
    
                                         It's the only ageing thing I know of.
                                         
                                         But I love the way that this is built in because it's about stand-up comics.
                                         
                                         It's literally just this one comedy club where they find radiation under the stage.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's a great storyline.
                                         
                                         Chandler can be the guy.
                                         
                                         Chandler's running.
                                         
                                         The Chernobyl chocolate club.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's part of the cold open.
                                         
                                         It's like some sort of Russian spire.
                                         
                                         Where did I put this?
                                         
                                         What if we just give it a bit of current sizzle
                                         
                                         and give it a bit of Ebola?
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         Everyone's comics have got Ebola.
                                         
    
                                         We did a tour of somewhere in Africa.
                                         
                                         You say keep it current.
                                         
                                         It's like you'll film this and it's not going to be on the air
                                         
                                         for another five years.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Ebola will be so old soon.
                                         
                                         Did he say he was wearing an Ebola hat?
                                         
                                         Ebola. Oh, that's sort of like bringing up flares.
                                         
                                         And Ebola is sort of advanced ageing in the way that you die in a couple of days.
                                         
    
                                         That's very, you can't even, they say it's the only disease
                                         
                                         that will kill you before you can film an episode of 20 years later.
                                         
                                         The only one.
                                         
                                         We've tested it out on other diseases,
                                         
                                         but we still cranked out a couple of episodes on those ones.
                                         
                                         Now, we are doing this at my house,
                                         
                                         and we're very lucky to have you here, Greg Fleet.
                                         
                                         You sure are, for a number of reasons.
                                         
    
                                         For a number of reasons, yeah.
                                         
                                         Now, so this is what happens.
                                         
                                         Anytime Carl is liaising with a guest to get them to my house,
                                         
                                         you've asked me for my address maybe 50 times now.
                                         
                                         Well, I'll say every week.
                                         
                                         In fact, this morning you asked me for my address last night on Facebook.
                                         
                                         I'd given it to you and then I'd said something else
                                         
                                         and then you just asked me for it again.
                                         
    
                                         Like you could still see on the screen where the address was.
                                         
                                         Like it was literally right there.
                                         
                                         But so we came straight from doing another one
                                         
                                         of these and uh and we found uh a young greg fleet sort of just stumbling around the street

                                         door was locked like someone's at work someone's not coming home and i stood around and then i
                                         
                                         started getting spoken like a true burglar
                                         
                                         oh and i let myself in i was going oh this is bad. And then I just kept hearing, oh, I always forget the address
                                         
                                         in the back of my mind, going, no, no.
                                         
    
                                         So I went and knocked on the doors on either side
                                         
                                         to see if they knew you.
                                         
                                         They weren't home either.
                                         
                                         Then I went back to the address I'd been given
                                         
                                         and went through their recycling bin looking for mail,
                                         
                                         looking for something that would have your name on it.
                                         
                                         Oh, I thought you were looking for, for like thinking Tommy's one of those guys
                                         
                                         that writes his name on his milk.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Me and Kieran Perkins lived together and he taught me that.
                                         
                                         In the bin, I now know stacks about the woman who lives at the number
                                         
                                         that you gave me.
                                         
                                         I won't say what it is.
                                         
                                         But I know that she graduated from an Italian course in 1990.
                                         
                                         I know that her first name is Carol and I know that she's recently thrown out a lot
                                         
                                         of her old academic stuff.
                                         
    
                                         I was going to say, why is that in the bin?
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         It's a little black and everything.
                                         
                                         Maybe something bad happened to Carol.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         What did she graduate from?
                                         
                                         Some Italian language course.
                                         
                                         A language course.
                                         
    
                                         And you're looking for the House of Dassolo and so you're seeing that
                                         
                                         and you're thinking, oh, I'm on the right track.
                                         
                                         I was actually going, what's your partner's name?
                                         
                                         I don't think it's Carol.
                                         
                                         But then, yeah, how desperate to just go, oh, there's a cafe.
                                         
                                         I'll go in there and just on the off chance.
                                         
                                         I was so broken.
                                         
                                         That's not as desperate as going through someone's bin box.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, yeah, I've done that.
                                         
                                         I was so broken.
                                         
                                         Did you go through the cafe's rubbish as well? I was so broken did you go through the cafes rubbish as well
                                         
                                         I was going to
                                         
                                         but I literally
                                         
                                         he only knows
                                         
                                         it's a cafe
                                         
                                         because there's a bunch
                                         
    
                                         of sandwiches in a bin
                                         
                                         and just went
                                         
                                         well that's a cafe
                                         
                                         I'm assuming
                                         
                                         it had taken me
                                         
                                         so long to get here
                                         
                                         from St Kilda
                                         
                                         and I was so
                                         
    
                                         and I'd gone to
                                         
                                         you know
                                         
                                         Rose Street
                                         
                                         Rose Street
                                         
                                         all these you know
                                         
                                         similar name streets
                                         
                                         should I just give out
                                         
                                         my address on the podcast
                                         
    
                                         no I said the number
                                         
                                         and no one can remember the number but? No, I'll just give the number.
                                         
                                         And no one can remember the number.
                                         
                                         But by the time I was going to the cafe to ask them,
                                         
                                         I didn't even know what I was going to ask them.
                                         
                                         I was just walking.
                                         
                                         I was slumped.
                                         
                                         I was defeated.
                                         
    
                                         And then I just hear filth being yelled out from behind me.
                                         
                                         And it sort of filled my heart with joy.
                                         
                                         And I turn around and someone's giving me the finger out of a car.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         It's got to be them.
                                         
                                         To be fair, the filth I was yelling at you was your own routine.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's true.
                                         
                                         I kind of wish the story had gone a little further because I'd love to know how my neighbours or the cafe respond to,
                                         
    
                                         do you know Tommy Dazzolo?
                                         
                                         Do you know which house is his?
                                         
                                         Do you know when he'll be home?
                                         
                                         I've got one back for you.
                                         
                                         Can you stop going through my beans?
                                         
                                         That great tradition where when you're going out,
                                         
                                         you just walk up every house in your street and go,
                                         
                                         just popping out for a couple of hours, guys.
                                         
    
                                         I'll be home at about 2.30.
                                         
                                         I'm here for a podcast.
                                         
                                         It's the Guess Who podcast.
                                         
                                         I like the idea that you're the character of this neighbourhood.
                                         
                                         Everyone knows Tommy Dasolo.
                                         
                                         Just wandering around waving.
                                         
                                         He's a normal kid.
                                         
                                         Oh, it's T-Dog.
                                         
    
                                         Everyone's all excited.
                                         
                                         Because that's how I like to think of myself.
                                         
                                         And so had Fleety's story gone on a little further,
                                         
                                         I feel like my idea of myself would have been pretty shattered.
                                         
                                         Do you know what I mean?
                                         
                                         Well, I like the fact that once you guys had found me in the car
                                         
                                         and I was like, oh, it's them, great.
                                         
                                         You guys get out of the car, we're talking,
                                         
    
                                         and I start telling you the story and you're going, oh, that's great.
                                         
                                         And we start walking into the wrong house.
                                         
                                         I'm going, what are we doing?
                                         
                                         And, of course, it wasn't the number that Carl had given me.
                                         
                                         Well, it was good because your story led off with
                                         
                                         how well do you know your neighbours?
                                         
                                         Like, what's this possibly going to be about?
                                         
                                         Have you seen one in the street that you find kind of sexy
                                         
    
                                         and you want me to hook you up?
                                         
                                         Like, what's the story here?
                                         
                                         Well, I know with mine in particular, if you speak in of sexy and you want me to hook you up? Like, what's the story here? Well, I know with
                                         
                                         mine in particular, if you speak in Italian,
                                         
                                         you've got a good chance.
                                         
                                         Look, I'd love to give you their phone number, but
                                         
                                         I dare say I don't have the right one.
                                         
                                         No, you're good with phone numbers. It's just
                                         
    
                                         addresses. Oh, yeah. Because then Xavier
                                         
                                         Michaelides, when he turned up,
                                         
                                         I'd ring him and go, are you here?
                                         
                                         He goes, yeah, I'm just out the front of the house. And I went,
                                         
                                         oh, yeah. That could be anywhere.
                                         
                                         Probably not.
                                         
                                         I didn't start going through the rubbish,
                                         
                                         but I was still a little nervous because the garden looked really nice.
                                         
    
                                         I just couldn't think of a better garden.
                                         
                                         Was it not this place?
                                         
                                         No, I think it was the one with the number down there.
                                         
                                         It was a beautiful garden, looked too nice.
                                         
                                         When you rent, as if you're putting any effort into the garden.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         What do we care? Maybe people around the neighbourhood know you better. You've got a better garden. looked too nice. I was like – When you rent, as if you're putting any effort into the garden. Yeah. What do we care?
                                         
                                         Maybe people around the neighbourhood know you better.
                                         
    
                                         You've got a better garden.
                                         
                                         Well, maybe –
                                         
                                         Two houses away.
                                         
                                         That's like someone has a radio show.
                                         
                                         That's like a radio show garden.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         This is a podcast garden.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         That's commercial radio garden.
                                         
                                         I live three doors down from Triple M.
                                         
                                         I don't think they've put it out yet.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's just reminded me.
                                         
                                         My ex-girlfriend, one time she lived in a share house and then she moved out
                                         
                                         and six months later she was near the house where she used to live,
                                         
                                         getting pissed, and got so pissed that she thought
                                         
    
                                         that she still lived at that house.
                                         
                                         Like even though she'd moved out for six months and just went in,
                                         
                                         I think the door was unlocked or something,
                                         
                                         went in, fucking made herself food out of the fridge.
                                         
                                         And like the person who was in her room was like away or out, but like she fucking made herself food out of the fridge. And, like, the person who was in her room was, like, away or out,
                                         
                                         but, like, she's gotten the food, gotten into bed and then looked around
                                         
                                         and kind of come to and gone.
                                         
                                         Because she's, you know, obviously blind drunk and gone,
                                         
    
                                         oh, wait, I don't live here, and then had to, like,
                                         
                                         but just caught herself.
                                         
                                         And not only that, but I didn't pay any of the bills when I left,
                                         
                                         so I'm going to split before someone finds me.
                                         
                                         Yeah, exactly. I love it if she was drunk enough to not think that, oh, I don't pay any of the bills when I left so I'm going to split before someone finds me. Yeah, exactly. I love it
                                         
                                         if she was drunk enough to not think that
                                         
                                         I don't live here anymore but someone's replaced
                                         
                                         my fucking furniture. Well, that's it.
                                         
    
                                         It's kind of at odds with itself, isn't it? Also, she's
                                         
                                         checked the mail and gone, oh, I'll just redirect
                                         
                                         all of this mail drunk.
                                         
                                         Put the wrong person's name on it.
                                         
                                         I never finished that Italian course.
                                         
                                         It's ridiculous.
                                         
                                         Because you know when you come home and go through your own bin.
                                         
                                         That's the only way I ever lock myself out.
                                         
    
                                         I just start going through the bin.
                                         
                                         Just to make sure I live there.
                                         
                                         Did I borrow myself keys recently?
                                         
                                         Any of those recyclable keys out there?
                                         
                                         Very quickly, we just came from lunch.
                                         
                                         You and I just had lunch with a friend of the show, Demi Lardner.
                                         
                                         And on the way out, you guys went to get money.
                                         
                                         I went in and paid the bill.
                                         
    
                                         I'm a big fan of, anyone that listens to this show will know,
                                         
                                         I'm a big fan of dessert.
                                         
                                         I've got a sweet tooth.
                                         
                                         I looked in the cake cabinet.
                                         
                                         I love a good cake, a good chocolate cake.
                                         
                                         Went in there and there's, you know, you've got about six, seven, eight cakes.
                                         
                                         They've misspelt one of the cakes.
                                         
                                         So they've got about six, seven, eight cakes. They've misspelt one of the cakes. So they've got a cake there.
                                         
    
                                         It's like filled with chocolate and nougat and caramel and stuff like that.
                                         
                                         What cake would that be?
                                         
                                         Fuck Forest Cake?
                                         
                                         Hang on.
                                         
                                         What was it?
                                         
                                         Chocolate, nougat?
                                         
                                         Caramel.
                                         
                                         Caramel Mars Bar Cake?
                                         
    
                                         Oh, that would be the correct spelling of the cake.
                                         
                                         Arse Bar.
                                         
                                         This was Mark's cake.
                                         
                                         As in the Mark's brothers or it belongs to Mark?
                                         
                                         It belongs to Mark.
                                         
                                         Mark's cake.
                                         
                                         So that was just there for the spoiler clearly.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you asked for a slice like, no, man, that's Mark's cake.
                                         
    
                                         Sorry, right?
                                         
                                         How do you accidentally whack a K in there?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I don't know.
                                         
                                         Maybe it starts off with a Mars bar, like the recipe is Mars bar cake. whack a K in there. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. That's, it could be, but it could be,
                                         
                                         maybe it's, I don't know,
                                         
                                         maybe it starts off with a Mars bar,
                                         
                                         like the recipe
                                         
    
                                         is Mars bar cake
                                         
                                         and there's some extra thing
                                         
                                         that they add in.
                                         
                                         Well, I like the chef's name
                                         
                                         is Mark and he goes,
                                         
                                         no, I deserve,
                                         
                                         this deserves to be
                                         
                                         a new type of cake.
                                         
    
                                         Or they've whacked it in there
                                         
                                         and like you,
                                         
                                         like, and the Mars Corporation
                                         
                                         have been dining in there
                                         
                                         one night and gone,
                                         
                                         pretty sure that's illegal
                                         
                                         and they've gone,
                                         
                                         all right,
                                         
    
                                         is there anything about putting
                                         
                                         a whack and a K in the name of a cake?
                                         
                                         And then no lawsuit.
                                         
                                         I actually knew a guy who used to – a guy called Mark who used to –
                                         
                                         was actually an awesome chef who used to make this cake.
                                         
                                         And I swear to God, you'd eat it and you'd go to work and, like,
                                         
                                         you'd get that sugar rush.
                                         
                                         So you'd go to work and you'd work for it and you'd just get that thing
                                         
    
                                         where you just had to, like, fucking chill out and just rest, you know. And then you'd just get sugar rush. So you'd go to work and you'd work for a while, then you'd just get that thing where you just had to, like, fucking chill out and just rest, you know.
                                         
                                         And then you'd just get energised again and you'd want to, like,
                                         
                                         you'd play tennis or something like that.
                                         
                                         And that's, I'm pretty sure, where the term marks a day makes you work,
                                         
                                         rest and play comes from.
                                         
                                         So you just put that in with the Italian diploma.
                                         
                                         Put it in the bin.
                                         
                                         A classic fleet.
                                         
    
                                         You know what the weird thing was?
                                         
                                         I think this goes to show how well I've gotten to know you.
                                         
                                         As soon as you started speaking, in my head I went,
                                         
                                         this won't be genuine.
                                         
                                         This is a con.
                                         
                                         This is a long con.
                                         
                                         Hey, I haven't told this.
                                         
                                         This happened a little while ago.
                                         
    
                                         I was at a party with a couple of friends and it got to about 2 o'clock
                                         
                                         and we left to go home.
                                         
                                         There were three of us and we were quite pissed.
                                         
                                         And as you do when you're drunk, we wanted to get some Hungry Jacks
                                         
                                         and we were trying to think of where the nearest one would be.
                                         
                                         And we were sort of not far from Southern Cross Station.
                                         
                                         And so we thought, oh, the Southern Cross Station Hungry Jacks.
                                         
                                         And we're trying to look it up online to see if it's open.
                                         
    
                                         It's like, oh, is that a 24-hour one? And my friend... One of Cross Station Hungry Jacks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're trying to look it up online to see if it's open. It's like, oh, is that a 24-hour one?
                                         
                                         And my friend...
                                         
                                         One of the great Hungry Jacks of Melbourne,
                                         
                                         because you're coming off the Skybus
                                         
                                         and then you're walking out, the first thing to eat is Hungry Jacks.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I've been there quite a bit.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it is great.
                                         
    
                                         So we...
                                         
                                         That's your favourite part of any trip.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         You can go overseas.
                                         
                                         You still come back and go, well, Hungry Jacks when I arrive,
                                         
                                         this is awesome.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it is good. Yeah, I'm not saying it's... I'm agreeing. Love it. I'm going, well, Hungry Jack's when I arrive, this is awesome. Yeah, it is good.
                                         
                                         I'm not saying it is.
                                         
    
                                         I'm agreeing.
                                         
                                         I'm going to say, I know this is interrupting your story,
                                         
                                         but my favourite Hungry Jack's is the Hungry Jack's McDonald's combo
                                         
                                         on Swanston Street because you can go in and get your thick shake
                                         
                                         from McDonald's and your burgers from Hungry Jack's.
                                         
                                         That's the good combo.
                                         
                                         It's pretty good.
                                         
                                         Anytime, yeah, when there's a cluster of them, that's what you want.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, that is useful information.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         We should be doing a bit of that every week.
                                         
                                         But anyway, so we called up, my friend called up and he's like pissed
                                         
                                         and he's like slurring down the phone.
                                         
                                         He's like, are you guys still open?
                                         
                                         And they go, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're open 24 hours.
                                         
                                         And he goes, okay, great.
                                         
    
                                         I was just wondering if I can book a table
                                         
                                         for um under the name Rasmussen
                                         
                                         for the party of four

                                         and he goes okay so just want to book that in

                                         we'll be there in like maybe
                                         
    
                                         like within five minutes
                                         
                                         so that's all good that's all locked and just went
                                         
                                         on and on and on and on.
                                         
                                         I'm crying because the other thing is he keeps saying party of four.
                                         
                                         There's fucking three of us.
                                         
                                         I was even thinking that.
                                         
                                         Didn't you say there was three?
                                         
                                         Again and again and again.
                                         
    
                                         So then we walk down there and I get in one line and he gets in the other line
                                         
                                         and he gets to the counter and he goes,
                                         
                                         just wondering if you got the call about the booking that we just made
                                         
                                         a few moments ago for a table for four of us?
                                         
                                         And the guy goes, yep, just as you can see there's plenty of tables.
                                         
                                         You can sit wherever you would like.
                                         
                                         And he just keeps going.
                                         
                                         Mr Russ Muzzin.
                                         
    
                                         Did anyone back there take, because he just wanted the validation
                                         
                                         of just seeing the person that he spoke to.
                                         
                                         He wanted to see a reserved sign on a table.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         I was in your hometown the other day.
                                         
                                         I was in Geelong.
                                         
                                         I went to a Bucks night, a Bucks weekend.
                                         
                                         And do you guys, here's the thing.
                                         
    
                                         So I didn't know everyone at the Bucks weekend.
                                         
                                         There was a couple of people I knew and then there was a bunch of other people.
                                         
                                         And it's that horrible thing and you guys, I presume, would have experience.
                                         
                                         You know when you have got friends that know what you do, that know the work in comedy,
                                         
                                         but then someone new comes in and your friends are very happy to go,
                                         
                                         oh, wait till, yeah, come and meet this bloke.
                                         
                                         Come and meet Xavier.
                                         
                                         He's a comedian.
                                         
    
                                         He's a comedian.
                                         
                                         Wait till the, and then the other guys are sort of like, oh, oh, we're going to meet a comedian.
                                         
                                         It's a very weird moment.
                                         
                                         Like they don't know whether you're going to walk in,
                                         
                                         go juggling and do crazy stuff or whatever it is.
                                         
                                         So, you know, have you had that sort of awkward...
                                         
                                         Yeah, because it's always easy when you introduce yourself
                                         
                                         because I just downplay and go, oh, something comedian.
                                         
    
                                         And then a bit if your friends are doing it,
                                         
                                         they're like, this is going to be the best.
                                         
                                         And it's not at all ever going to be the best.
                                         
                                         It's never the best.
                                         
                                         Ever.
                                         
                                         It's going to be the worst.
                                         
                                         Never the best, Michael Egan.
                                         
                                         To be fair, there's only one thing that's the best,
                                         
    
                                         so there's a lot of things that aren't the best.
                                         
                                         That's true.
                                         
                                         So I come in.
                                         
                                         There can only be one thing that's the best.
                                         
                                         It's the best.
                                         
                                         And that's the burgers at Hungry Jack's.
                                         
                                         Or the thick shakes at McDonald's
                                         
                                         So I walk into this box tonight
                                         
    
                                         And there's like three or four people that I don't know
                                         
                                         And they've been given the hint of what I do
                                         
                                         So this one guy
                                         
                                         It's like a white erp
                                         
                                         Has got to make a stand in a cowboy town or whatever
                                         
                                         This new guy's come in
                                         
                                         So this guy fancies himself as being funny.
                                         
                                         Fuck, what?
                                         
    
                                         What was that analogy?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's like there's two, this town ain't big enough for the two of us.
                                         
                                         All right, Sheriff Chandler, let's keep going.
                                         
                                         So this guy clearly thinks he's funny.
                                         
                                         So I've come in and he's gone, ah.
                                         
                                         Funny man.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         He's come straight up to me and gone, ah, funny man, are you?
                                         
                                         And I'm like, oh. We've all got jobs, you know to me and gone, oh, funny man, are you? And I'm like, oh.
                                         
                                         We've all got jobs, you know, whatever.
                                         
                                         So he goes, funny man, eh?
                                         
                                         Eh?
                                         
                                         And then gives me a full stubby and goes, well, skull that then.
                                         
                                         Because that's what Hughesy did on the gala this year.
                                         
                                         So it's just a skull to beer.
                                         
    
                                         Why does that equal that?
                                         
                                         You can't do someone else's material.
                                         
                                         So I'm like, no, I'm not going to do it.
                                         
                                         And he's like, you're just shoving it in my face, going, no,
                                         
                                         you've got to scald it.
                                         
                                         That's the rules.
                                         
                                         You've got to scald it.
                                         
                                         You've got to scald it.
                                         
    
                                         I'm like, no, I'm not going to scald it.
                                         
                                         He goes, scald it now and I'll bloody,
                                         
                                         I won't heckle you for the rest of the night.
                                         
                                         Heckle you?
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         As opposed to just give you the shit.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         Like you're performing.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I love the layperson's definition of heckle.
                                         
                                         You know when it's like an audience member who doesn't know much about comedy
                                         
                                         will talk about going to a gig and will say,
                                         
                                         I hope the comedian doesn't heckle me from on stage.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         No, that's not how it works.
                                         
                                         It's not like in the middle of the audience laughing you're going,
                                         
    
                                         boo, you're shit at laughing. Like that's the only way you that's not how it works it's not like in the middle of the audience laughing you're going boo you're shit at laughing like that's the only way
                                         
                                         you can feasibly do it
                                         
                                         but even that
                                         
                                         way to sit down
                                         
                                         order another drink

                                         ready to scull that beer yet? Got that beer?

                                         you mentioned that you're at a
                                         
                                         Bucks party, right? At the start of the story.
                                         
                                         What a wowser. Just scull the fucking beer.
                                         
                                         Where do you think you are?
                                         
                                         You're letting all us comedians down.
                                         
                                         Now word's getting around
                                         
                                         how we can't scull our beers.
                                         
    
                                         We're all weak dogs, everyone's going to think.
                                         
                                         That's how you...
                                         
                                         He probably used to work at Hey Hey
                                         
                                         because that's how he used to get a spot.
                                         
                                         You'd scull a beer.
                                         
                                         Is that how it happened?
                                         
                                         Cleary backing up.
                                         
                                         Yeah, absolutely.
                                         
    
                                         That was Daryl's whole thing.
                                         
                                         Aussie was in charge of sculling beers.
                                         
                                         He explains a lot of things about Hey Hey
                                         
                                         since there was Plucker and Aussie Ostrich on then.
                                         
                                         It must have meant a lot of beer involved.
                                         
                                         Can I just say this very quickly? I told you this the other day, Carl. all the things about Hey Hey since there was Plucker and Aussie Ostrich on then. There must have been a lot of beer involved.
                                         
                                         Can I just say this very quickly?
                                         
                                         I told you this the other day, Carl.
                                         
    
                                         I've had new people move into this house,
                                         
                                         a couple, one of whom is Dutch,
                                         
                                         and Hey Hey It's Saturday came up in passing the other day and she'd never heard of it.
                                         
                                         And so I got the joy of getting to explain the concept of Hey Hey.
                                         
                                         Which would sound far worse than it was.
                                         
                                         Yes, exactly. Just going, going yeah there's like a cartoonist and a guy on a microphone
                                         
                                         and a little mop with a hat
                                         
                                         and an ostrich and they can all just interrupt
                                         
    
                                         a really sexist racist voice that just comes in every now and then
                                         
                                         and a voice of a guy
                                         
                                         just many things that get
                                         
                                         in the way of any interview
                                         
                                         any sort of entertainment
                                         
                                         and it was the biggest show on Australian TV for over a decade.
                                         
                                         Fleety, were you ever on Heyo Sunday?
                                         
                                         No, never.
                                         
    
                                         You didn't go close?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         I mean, by the time I was really kind of doing comedy and stuff,
                                         
                                         I didn't want to.
                                         
                                         It got to that stage where it was like, no,
                                         
                                         I didn't see it being that helpful.
                                         
                                         Yeah, right.
                                         
                                         And also it was one of those things you'd go on,
                                         
    
                                         so many people go on who were very good
                                         
                                         and they'd start doing their thing and then all that stuff would start.
                                         
                                         You'd go, oh, he's a bit fat, isn't he?
                                         
                                         Just voices, you know.
                                         
                                         I remember seeing a woman.
                                         
                                         I think Dickie Knee.
                                         
                                         Mr Summers, he's a bit fat.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         A woman I knew was on there playing piano in a band
                                         
                                         and it's just this normal band
                                         
                                         going along, you know, just singing. The camera
                                         
                                         goes to her legs under the
                                         
                                         piano and she didn't have tiny
                                         
                                         legs. She wasn't, you know, like a supermodel
                                         
                                         and the camera just stayed in her legs and
                                         
                                         just all these jokes about fat legs,
                                         
    
                                         unshaven legs,
                                         
                                         just horrible. I just like the
                                         
                                         cameraman, the bit of upskirting work
                                         
                                         happening on national television.
                                         
                                         Well, if she listened to the rules, she sculled that beer, she wouldn't have got hecked.
                                         
                                         Exactly.
                                         
                                         And from then on, she's a sculling machine.
                                         
                                         So he does that right and he's saying to his mate, I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him still.
                                         
    
                                         So the rest of the night, he's still going, you ready to scull that beer?
                                         
                                         You ready to scull that beer?
                                         
                                         And I'm like, I'm not going to scull the beer.
                                         
                                         I'm not 14.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to do it.
                                         
                                         How bored is this guy as well?
                                         
                                         Like, that speaks about the lack of entertaining people at this party.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
    
                                         The best thing, he can't get wound up in any interesting conversations.
                                         
                                         He's just, the only source for him is to just watch someone
                                         
                                         drink something quickly.
                                         
                                         Or he hasn't even said to you, hey, do some material.
                                         
                                         No, no, no.
                                         
                                         Or tell us a joke.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         That would make more sense.
                                         
    
                                         I think he got the words comedian and alcoholic.
                                         
                                         And rapid alcoholic.
                                         
                                         So he's done that for a while and then we go to a pub
                                         
                                         and then he's still going.
                                         
                                         He's in his element now.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         He deliberately sat next to me and all night when he thought I wasn't looking.
                                         
                                         That's something not many people do as well, deliberately sit next to Carl.
                                         
    
                                         You can tell because that rarely happens.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I keep giving them the wrong house numbers.
                                         
                                         I tried to move in next door to Carl once and I was like nine houses down.
                                         
                                         So he sat next to me and every time he thought I wasn't looking
                                         
                                         he'd pour more beer into
                                         
                                         my glass. So you were actually
                                         
                                         gradually sculling it through the night.
                                         
                                         At the end of the night you'd go, you sculled
                                         
    
                                         it. It took four hours.
                                         
                                         So he keeps filling it up thinking, I don't know, he thinks
                                         
                                         I'm getting more drunk or he thinks I'm not
                                         
                                         noticing and all it's doing is making sure
                                         
                                         I haven't bought a beer all night.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'm saying he's kind of like, he's not so much a heckler as he is a waiter.
                                         
                                         Was he a waiter?
                                         
                                         When he said, I'll get you, was it like another drink?
                                         
    
                                         I'd drink, get you a drink.
                                         
                                         I'll get him some lobster Thermidor.
                                         
                                         This fuckhead in his little vest and his bow tie.
                                         
                                         I'll get him not hungry anymore.
                                         
                                         So he keeps pouring beer and then I catch him and he'd go,
                                         
                                         duh, eh, eh?
                                         
                                         And I'm like, oh, yeah, okay.
                                         
                                         I don't know what's happening, but he's nudging his mates going,
                                         
    
                                         I'm fixing this guy up.
                                         
                                         And he's still saying, you know, I'm going to get him.
                                         
                                         So we go through the whole night.
                                         
                                         I literally haven't bought a beer.
                                         
                                         I just keep getting it topped up all night.
                                         
                                         We get to like about midnight.
                                         
                                         We've moved in.
                                         
                                         That was in the beer gun.
                                         
    
                                         We move inside watching sport on TV, whatever.
                                         
                                         I'm at the bar.
                                         
                                         We're talking at the bar for ages.
                                         
                                         I go to sit down.
                                         
                                         As I go to sit down, he races over, grabs the chair,
                                         
                                         and pulls it out from underneath me.
                                         
                                         I go fully collapsed
                                         
                                         oh no
                                         
    
                                         he got you
                                         
                                         and he goes
                                         
                                         I told you I'd get you
                                         
                                         like
                                         
                                         what

                                         wasn't it
                                         
                                         the getting was

                                         and then he's just like
                                         
                                         seen an inch

                                         and then gone
                                         
                                         that's
                                         
    
                                         well that's something
                                         
                                         that's something
                                         
                                         I mean he did get you
                                         
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         yeah he got you.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And you couldn't have had more warning.
                                         
                                         This is your fault.
                                         
    
                                         You're an idiot to sit on that chair.
                                         
                                         When he first said, scull this beer, I should have gone,
                                         
                                         jeez, I better sit down on that chair properly.
                                         
                                         I better glue a chair to my arm.
                                         
                                         That's the pulling the chair out.
                                         
                                         That is an old school prank.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's real old school.
                                         
    
                                         But it's like 12 or 1 o'clock at night, right?
                                         
                                         The pub's full of people who have been drinking all day.
                                         
                                         No one knows each other.
                                         
                                         It's in a beach town.
                                         
                                         And so he pulls his chair out and it just looks like a horrible act of violence.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         No one laughs.
                                         
                                         It's just me on the ground and my mates around me going, sorry about that.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And him going, got him.
                                         
                                         Sorry about that. Yeah.
                                         
                                         And him going, got him.
                                         
                                         Speaking of people being confused about comedy,
                                         
                                         I was doing a gig with a friend of the show, Justin Hamilton.
                                         
                                         We were both sitting having a drink after the gig
                                         
                                         and this guy came up.
                                         
    
                                         And usually people come up after the show and they'll be like,
                                         
                                         oh, well done, that was great.
                                         
                                         Or, you know, here's a joke I've thought of or whatever.
                                         
                                         This guy walked up to both of us and all he said was,
                                         
                                         mate, I'm going to get out of here,
                                         
                                         you're going to get a choc milk and have a great time.
                                         
                                         And then left.
                                         
                                         And I turned to Hammo and go, Hammo, did you mention choc milk in your show?
                                         
    
                                         And he's like, no.
                                         
                                         And I go, I didn't.
                                         
                                         What the fuck was that about?
                                         
                                         I'm going to get a choc milk and have a good time.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         That's also like just a really cheerful thing to say to someone.
                                         
                                         It's a really positive, nice thing to say.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         It's just filling people in on your future plans.
                                         
                                         It's nice.
                                         
                                         So if he had insisted on me sculling a choc milk,
                                         
                                         I would have done that.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's something nice to scull.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Like I enjoy that story.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Speaking of the chair prank thing though,
                                         
                                         that old school prank,
                                         
                                         this is something I haven't talked about yet.
                                         
                                         This happened a couple of months ago.
                                         
                                         I was up in Sydney doing gigs at the Comedy Store
                                         
                                         and comedians who have not been on the show yet,
                                         
                                         but people from Sydney might know, Ray Badron and Chris
                                         
    
                                         Wainhouse were both on the bill.
                                         
                                         And Ray Badron had written a kick me sign on the back of the
                                         
                                         running order for the gig and then given Chris Wainhouse a hug
                                         
                                         before he was about to go on stage and went,
                                         
                                         just have a great gig out there, mate.
                                         
                                         Have a great gig out there.
                                         
                                         And then he stuck the sign to him and then Wayne House turned around and Badrin
                                         
                                         realised he'd put the tape on the wrong
                                         
    
                                         side of the bit of paper. So the kick me
                                         
                                         was like facing in. So it was just like...
                                         
                                         Just a set list. Yeah, just a set list.
                                         
                                         He goes, oh, I fucked it and like pulled it off.
                                         
                                         We were all laughing about it. Like, oh, how did you get
                                         
                                         it so wrong? What an idiot.
                                         
                                         Anyway, then Wayne House...
                                         
                                         That's actually a much better prank, just to have
                                         
    
                                         someone with a list of names
                                         
                                         Stuck to someone's back
                                         
                                         Because
                                         
                                         I'd be more likely to go
                                         
                                         What a fucking idiot
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         If this guy's just got
                                         
                                         Random names on his back
                                         
    
                                         Yeah what a freak
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         But so then
                                         
                                         Wayne House goes on
                                         
                                         And there was this girl
                                         
                                         That had been talking all night
                                         
                                         And he was like
                                         
                                         People had been telling her
                                         
    
                                         To shut up all night
                                         
                                         In the audience
                                         
                                         And she
                                         
                                         You know
                                         
                                         Wasn't doing it
                                         
                                         And he was like
                                         
                                         The second last act on
                                         
                                         And so he just
                                         
    
                                         Went her And she kept going back And he was like the second last act on. And so he just went her and she kept going back
                                         
                                         and he was like just destroyed her and got her kicked out of the venue.
                                         
                                         And the whole audience are chanting going, get her out, get her out,
                                         
                                         and security come in and march her out and go, you know,
                                         
                                         you've been told you're disrupting the show, get out.
                                         
                                         And like the whole audience are cheering as she's being taken out
                                         
                                         and going, yeah, fucking, and Wayne House is just dancing on stage.
                                         
                                         And then we were saying later, fuck, imagine if he'd gone,
                                         
    
                                         if he'd had the kick me on his back.
                                         
                                         Just that moment of like him turning around and going,
                                         
                                         no one gets the better of Chris Wayne House than turning around
                                         
                                         and just a big kick me on the back of him.
                                         
                                         But we became obsessed and I haven't done this yet.
                                         
                                         We were talking about it would be such a great thing to start trying
                                         
                                         to put a kick me on the back of a comic before they go on stage for a gig
                                         
                                         because it's that.
                                         
    
                                         But how many people have material where they have to turn around and.
                                         
                                         But that's the thing.
                                         
                                         You have to know.
                                         
                                         If you know there's a comic that has a bit where they do a bit of side
                                         
                                         on work, those are the people you'd be targeting.
                                         
                                         I do.
                                         
                                         I've got a lot of side on work.
                                         
                                         You do got a lot of side on work.
                                         
    
                                         I do.
                                         
                                         I do some stuff where I turn around at least once.
                                         
                                         Yeah?
                                         
                                         Yeah. I also love the old schoolers.
                                         
                                         I've also got a bit where I'm like,
                                         
                                         I hope I don't have a kick me sign on me.
                                         
                                         So that would be really good.
                                         
                                         If you could get on before that gag.
                                         
    
                                         I just like...
                                         
                                         I've got 10 minutes where I want the audience to kick me in the ass
                                         
                                         and I have no way of letting them know.
                                         
                                         And they never do.
                                         
                                         They never do.
                                         
                                         Yeah. I just love thinking about the reality. And they never do. They never do. Yeah.
                                         
                                         I just love thinking about the reality.
                                         
                                         Like when you do that as a prank to someone,
                                         
    
                                         like actually thinking about what you're really expecting to happen,
                                         
                                         like the idea that there's just this kind of silent agreement
                                         
                                         that everyone in society has with each other,
                                         
                                         that if you see someone in the street with a sign that says,
                                         
                                         kick me, it's like, well, I've got to do what they want.
                                         
                                         Like the idea that you put that on someone's back…
                                         
                                         …and it might actually happen.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         That's not…the police didn't put that there.
                                         
                                         Kicking someone is…I was with a mate in Edinburgh one year.
                                         
                                         This must be ten years ago.
                                         
                                         Or…
                                         
                                         Or last week?
                                         
                                         No, it was actually even more.
                                         
                                         It was more than ten years ago.
                                         
                                         But he was probably 30 at the time or 35 or something.
                                         
    
                                         Early in the morning, like it must have been, I don't know,
                                         
                                         ten in the morning, we hadn't been to bed.
                                         
                                         He was quite pissed and he was quite a – one of those drunk guys
                                         
                                         who'd get drunk and then talk to strangers or end up in fights
                                         
                                         or whatever.
                                         
                                         But he just went up to a guy who was at a bar or a cafe or something.
                                         
                                         The guy might have been having breakfast on his way to work,
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
    
                                         But he bent over to do something.
                                         
                                         My friend just went up and kicked him in the arse.
                                         
                                         It was really funny but it was really confrontational.
                                         
                                         I was like, oh, my God.
                                         
                                         What have you just done?
                                         
                                         You just don't do that.
                                         
                                         You just don't kick strangers.
                                         
                                         To me though
                                         
    
                                         It's like
                                         
                                         It's a pure distillation of comedy
                                         
                                         The idea of someone
                                         
                                         Kicking someone in the bum
                                         
                                         Is just like
                                         
                                         That's just pure funny
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         If it's one kick
                                         
    
                                         It's hilarious
                                         
                                         If it's like 20 kicks
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         Kicking someone to death
                                         
                                         Is not as funny
                                         
                                         It's not as funny
                                         
                                         It's a fine line between
                                         
                                         Murder and comedy
                                         
    
                                         It's like a lot of those things
                                         
                                         That like Go on for ages And they stop being funny And they start being funny again Yeah It's like right funny. It's a fine line between murder and comedy. It's like one of those things that go on for ages
                                         
                                         and they stop being funny and they start being funny again.
                                         
                                         It's like right before the person dies, it's like really funny again.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but it's totally losing it.
                                         
                                         And then they die and it's like, oh, no, well, now it's really funny.
                                         
                                         What you can do, that's actually, that's like watching the comedy channel,
                                         
                                         flicking over to the crime channel and then back to the comedy channel.
                                         
    
                                         That's like the rule of three, like three kicks to the face is funny,
                                         
                                         but then when it's just the four, it's like, oh.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's like if you're going to do it once,
                                         
                                         you've got to do it those three times.
                                         
                                         Speaking of getting drunk and talking to people.
                                         
                                         You're pointing at me, I'm going, uh-oh.
                                         
                                         No, no, no, no, no.
                                         
                                         I was quite drunk a few weeks ago in Brisbane
                                         
    
                                         and I was after a gig, I was at a club,
                                         
                                         and this person took a photo of me, said,
                                         
                                         can I take a photo?
                                         
                                         And I was so drunk I thought, oh, maybe they saw me at the show,
                                         
                                         they want to take a photo of me.
                                         
                                         And I thought, and they sort of took the photo and they went back
                                         
                                         to a table and all their friends looked at the photo
                                         
                                         and started laughing together.
                                         
    
                                         And I went, oh, I'm guessing they're taking a photo of me.
                                         
                                         And also I just did a shot and went like that because I couldn't
                                         
                                         handle the shot and I did a little jiggling noise.
                                         
                                         So they must have thought, oh, they took a photo of me
                                         
                                         because they're making fun of me. I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to sit down, I did a little jiggling noise And so they must I thought Oh they took a photo of me Because they're making fun of me
                                         
                                         I know what I'm going to do
                                         
                                         I'm going to sit down
                                         
                                         I'm going to talk to them
                                         
    
                                         All night
                                         
                                         And I just sat down
                                         
                                         And for three hours
                                         
                                         I just talked at them
                                         
                                         And just did that thing
                                         
                                         Where they couldn't talk to each other
                                         
                                         I was always dominating conversation
                                         
                                         Never saying anything rude or mean
                                         
    
                                         I just was like

                                         Because there's nothing worse
                                         
                                         Than hanging out with your friends
                                         
                                         When one person dominates

                                         But I went to meet her and she was crawling back and forth
                                         
                                         in front of this, you know those horseshoe sort of tables,
                                         
                                         like booths.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         There's all these people in this booth, they're all looking at her
                                         
                                         and she's at the other end of the booth on the ground,
                                         
                                         crawling back and forth, like doing this kind of performance
                                         
                                         in front of this thing.
                                         
                                         So I go down and I'm going, oh, these are obviously her mates
                                         
                                         and, you know, whatever, you know, so I'm hanging around.
                                         
                                         And, you know, she gets up and comes with me and we leave.
                                         
    
                                         And as we're leaving, I look at the people and they all look...
                                         
                                         I suddenly realised I couldn't quite place the looks on their faces.
                                         
                                         And then I said to her later, who were those people?
                                         
                                         And she said, what people?
                                         
                                         And I said, those people in that booth.
                                         
                                         And she said, I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about.
                                         
                                         And I realised what the look on their face was, was terror.
                                         
                                         She'd just gone over and dominated these people
                                         
    
                                         and they had no idea who she was or what she was doing.
                                         
                                         But I did the same thing in Adelaide like ages ago,
                                         
                                         like Adelaide fringe years and years, I don't know, 20 years ago maybe. But I was, I think I was coming down off like drugs
                                         
                                         at the time, like yeah, I'd go over there and you know,
                                         
                                         suddenly I'd go, oh, I can't get my drugs anymore
                                         
                                         and I'd just have to go through horror.
                                         
                                         And so I had all these like, you know,
                                         
                                         trying to help with sleeping pills and stuff.
                                         
    
                                         But I remember going, sitting at this,
                                         
                                         I don't even remember going and sitting there,
                                         
                                         I just remember waking up at this big round table of maybe 12 people,
                                         
                                         just sort of jolting awake and sitting up and looking
                                         
                                         and all of them were looking at me.
                                         
                                         I don't know what I'd done or what I'd said,
                                         
                                         but they were all just looking at me like whatever it was,
                                         
                                         it was fairly intense.
                                         
    
                                         And I just got up and walked away because I thought there is no way,
                                         
                                         I'm not going to go into this with these people
                                         
                                         because it's not something
                                         
                                         I want to hear about.
                                         
                                         I've started to get really weird about like when you're in a cafe
                                         
                                         or restaurant or whatever and you're with mates and you're chatting
                                         
                                         and then the waiter comes over.
                                         
                                         Do you know what I mean?
                                         
    
                                         Like I always kind of feel like I kind of have to put what I'm talking
                                         
                                         about on ice especially if it's like –
                                         
                                         It's really bad.
                                         
                                         Like I had this recently.
                                         
                                         I had a waiter kind of chiming in on the conversation.
                                         
                                         Like we were trying to remember who some guy who'd been on this TV show was
                                         
                                         and the waiter's just like chipping in, like as he came in on that point,
                                         
                                         he's like, oh, was it this guy?
                                         
    
                                         And it's like, fair enough, because I guess that's sort of,
                                         
                                         that's kind of helpful, I guess.
                                         
                                         But then the next time he came back, this is a few months ago,
                                         
                                         I don't know if you remember that painting that I showed
                                         
                                         at the Live Adelaide podcast that
                                         
                                         a friend's parents had paid this guy
                                         
                                         to do. And so I was showing my mates
                                         
                                         who I was eating with, I was like, look at this fucked
                                         
    
                                         painting. And then as the waiter
                                         
                                         came over, he was like, oh, can I see it?
                                         
                                         And I was like, no, not really. What if he
                                         
                                         knows, do you know what I mean? Like, what if he recognises
                                         
                                         that he might know him somehow? Like, I don't know.
                                         
                                         But I, this happened a few
                                         
                                         weeks ago, me and some friends were out drinking and we were sort of sitting around this bar
                                         
                                         and then there was an old man by himself next to us.
                                         
    
                                         And it's kind of that weird thing when a person is, you know,
                                         
                                         obviously listening in on your conversation and obviously –
                                         
                                         and you feel like you should just kind of cut the bullshit and go,
                                         
                                         come on, come on in.
                                         
                                         Just, you know what I mean?
                                         
                                         Just join in.
                                         
                                         You're here.
                                         
                                         In or out.
                                         
    
                                         You're obviously listening, yeah listening And so we were doing
                                         
                                         A thing that happens
                                         
                                         Quite frequently in the pub
                                         
                                         Where we were going through
                                         
                                         Some hypotheticals
                                         
                                         There's one that I was

                                         All I ever eat is the powder out of those two-minute noodles.
                                         
                                         That's all I ever eat.
                                         
                                         Does burger rings smell like semen?

                                         No, I think it has to smell.
                                         
                                         Or do you just cum when you eat burger rings?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         No, but shit is just shit.
                                         
                                         He's just always orgasming in the snacks aisle at Safeway,
                                         
                                         so that's what it's smelling like.
                                         
    
                                         You can pretend with semen.
                                         
                                         You could also somehow pass it off As I'm just so virile
                                         
                                         Or something
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         No my thinking would be
                                         
                                         That with shit
                                         
                                         It's like people smell that
                                         
                                         And it's like that's bad
                                         
    
                                         But it's like
                                         
                                         Oh that poor guy's had an accident
                                         
                                         Or something
                                         
                                         You know he's shitting himself
                                         
                                         In public
                                         
                                         That's really bad
                                         
                                         He must be sick or something
                                         
                                         Whereas with semen
                                         
    
                                         It's like
                                         
                                         That guy smells like he's
                                         
                                         Carved in cum
                                         
                                         And there's no
                                         
                                         And there's no immediate explanation
                                         
                                         Oh but he might have just had
                                         
                                         Might have had a lot of sex
                                         
                                         because he's so cool

                                         and I don't think
                                         
                                         depends where you live

                                         I love the idea
                                         
    
                                         of seeing someone
                                         
                                         I was going along with that
                                         
                                         and smelling richly
                                         
                                         of cum
                                         
                                         and going
                                         
                                         wow that is a cool guy
                                         
                                         yeah because
                                         
                                         he's been polling
                                         
    
                                         heaps actually
                                         
                                         and he never showers
                                         
                                         what a legend
                                         
                                         it smells like he's really happy all the time yeah so you're saying you'd rather people He's been polling heaps actually. And he never showers. What a legend.
                                         
                                         It smells like he's really happy all the time.
                                         
                                         So you're saying you'd rather people feel sorry for you than potentially either be creeped out.
                                         
                                         I think shit in people's head,
                                         
                                         there'd be a more immediate, plausible explanation.
                                         
    
                                         100% of people know what that smell is.
                                         
                                         Yes, people might not.
                                         
                                         100% of people know what the smell is.
                                         
                                         Some people might not know.
                                         
                                         Good point, good point.
                                         
                                         Anyway, so this is the kind of conversation we were having at this pub

                                         And he's eavesdropping going, semen's much cooler, guys,
                                         
                                         if you think about it.
                                         
    
                                         I'm only smelling like that because I've been putting it in all your food.
                                         
                                         But this guy, so this old man.
                                         
                                         And he looks like Bishop from the end of Aliens.
                                         
                                         Sorry.
                                         
                                         He's kind of like, you know, sort of trying to look like he's not listening in.
                                         
                                         But he's obviously, because he's literally right next to us. We're sat curved around a bar.
                                         
                                         Anyway, then my friend Drew moves on
                                         
                                         to one of his favourite hypotheticals
                                         
    
                                         which is if you
                                         
                                         were in...
                                         
                                         You're in a pool up to your neck of
                                         
                                         your own shit and above
                                         
                                         that there's a diving board
                                         
                                         and someone's on the diving board and they're
                                         
                                         taking a piss onto your face.
                                         
                                         Do you duck into the pool to avoid getting the piss on your face?
                                         
    
                                         No.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Why would you duck to get into that much shit?
                                         
                                         What about what's your favourite colour?
                                         
                                         Hey, take it easy, champ.
                                         
                                         It's a family show.
                                         
                                         You know when you're just down at the pub with your mates
                                         
    
                                         and you're just talking about what your favourite colour is?
                                         
                                         But so anyway, right, so.
                                         
                                         I'd have no issue with someone pissing on me if I'm in a whole pool
                                         
                                         full of shit.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, that's.
                                         
                                         But anyway, so.
                                         
                                         I'd be grateful for that person.
                                         
    
                                         I'd be like, thank you.
                                         
                                         You don't need a pool of shit going, excuse me.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         How very dare you, sir.
                                         
                                         But so this hypothetical comes up and this is the breaking point
                                         
                                         for the old man.
                                         
                                         He just starts.
                                         
                                         He just fucking loses it. And at this point I go, well, we've got He just starts. He just fucking loses it.
                                         
    
                                         And at this point I go, well, we've got to bring him in now.
                                         
                                         This is it.
                                         
                                         And I turn around and go, what do you reckon, champ?
                                         
                                         What would you do?
                                         
                                         Would you cop the piss or would you go under in the pool of shit?
                                         
                                         And he goes, oh, mate, I'm still bloody stuck on your semen one
                                         
                                         from ten minutes ago.
                                         
                                         And we go, oh, great, well, here he is.
                                         
    
                                         He's part of our game now.
                                         
                                         And he goes, no, it's funny Because I was thinking That hypothetical
                                         
                                         That's reminded me
                                         
                                         That's reminded me
                                         
                                         Of a little story
                                         
                                         From when I was younger
                                         
                                         Uh oh

                                         Batting down the hatches

                                         But anyway
                                         
                                         His story was
                                         
    
                                         I remember when Menzies came on.
                                         
                                         When Menzies jizzed on a shit.
                                         
                                         Menzies loved a bit of shit lube.
                                         
                                         He was telling us, he's like,
                                         
                                         when I was about 16 or whatever,
                                         
                                         I was seeing this girl, right?
                                         
                                         I had this girlfriend and, you know...
                                         
                                         I was watching Orson Welles' Citizen Come and... I was round at her house. Shit lube. I was round at girl, right? I had this girlfriend and, you know. I was watching Orson Welles' Citizen Come and I was round at her house.
                                         
    
                                         Shit lube.
                                         
                                         I was round at her parents' house and, you know,
                                         
                                         we were in her bedroom hanging out and she was on the phone
                                         
                                         and she was just ignoring me and I'm trying to get her attention
                                         
                                         and she's just ignoring me on the phone.
                                         
                                         She's asking for it.
                                         
                                         And I think to myself, I'll show her.
                                         
                                         I'll get her.

                                         That I was pointing at
                                         
    
                                         As I've chucked
                                         
                                         The brown eye
                                         
                                         The door's opened

                                         Bloody mooning her dad
                                         
                                         And I've got a

                                         But we
                                         
                                         So
                                         
                                         What a great relief
                                         
                                         How that story
                                         
                                         Turned out
                                         
                                         And you know what
                                         
                                         And then a Marks bar came out my ass.
                                         
                                         But I just love, so that's where that came from.
                                         
    
                                         This guy would have been like in his 60s, like he was an old, old man.
                                         
                                         And just, I love that this relic from his youth, you know,
                                         
                                         that he's this one moment where he mooned a former lover's dad.
                                         
                                         He's stuck in his
                                         
                                         head decades and decades later.
                                         
                                         It was, yeah,
                                         
                                         it was kind of a new friend.
                                         
                                         They're new friends. You make them all the time.
                                         
    
                                         New friends. New friends, everyone. Cheers.
                                         
                                         And also, not
                                         
                                         that relatable to
                                         
                                         what you were talking about. I know.
                                         
                                         I was. Did he. No, it was.
                                         
                                         Did he just come?
                                         
                                         He just had sex with her?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
    
                                         They were just hanging out.
                                         
                                         They were curious. They were on eyes close.
                                         
                                         I mean, when you pull your butt, it depends how clean your bum is.
                                         
                                         Hey, that pool of shit story reminds me of the time I got my bum out once.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         You know, the thing that the shit comes out of.
                                         
                                         Maybe he didn't get to finish the story.
                                         
                                         Maybe the dad came on him.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Aren't you brown, my mate?
                                         
                                         Ooh, burgering yummy.
                                         
                                         So this was a theatre restaurant, I'm presuming.
                                         
                                         Have some jizz in your face.
                                         
                                         Yeah, this guy was dressed up like Dracula at the time
                                         
                                         that he was telling us this.
                                         
                                         It was Gatesy.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, Gatesy used to work there, didn't he?
                                         
                                         Gatesy was Dracula for a while.
                                         
                                         Should we take a break and should we go into a segment
                                         
                                         that it's been a long time since we've heard from?
                                         
                                         And the main reason we got Xavier Michaelides back on the show
                                         
                                         is just because the mailbag's been full of people
                                         
                                         wanting this much-loved segment to reappear on the show.
                                         
                                         I think Fleet might not know what Xavier's Corner is.
                                         
    
                                         Do you want to give it a bit of a summation to Fleety?
                                         
                                         Basically, it's my little part of this show.
                                         
                                         So within the Dum Dum Club, there's Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         And it's quite funny because this episode,
                                         
                                         it already feels like we've talked a lot about those things.
                                         
                                         It's food orientated.
                                         
                                         You guys know because you're all in it, obviously.
                                         
                                         I'm getting a Sesame Street vibe.
                                         
    
                                         It's like someone's little segment in Sesame Street.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's like a little segment.
                                         
                                         It's the itchy and scratchy to our The Simpsons.
                                         
                                         Oh, okay.
                                         
                                         A little bit.
                                         
                                         It's a podcast with a podcast. Huh? Yeah. It's the itchy and scratchy to our The Simpsons. Oh, okay. A little bit. It's a podcast within a podcast.
                                         
                                         Huh?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         It's the itchy and scratchy to our pooch.
                                         
                                         So do we need anything to set this up?
                                         
                                         It sets itself up.
                                         
                                         Just have a listen to Xavier's Corner.

                                         Yes, and welcome back to another episode of Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         This week, we're talking about food, specifically McDonald's.
                                         
                                         To help with this discussion, I have two guests.
                                         
                                         From the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Tommy Dasolo. Thanks for having me. And also from the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Tommy Dasolo.
                                         
                                         Thanks for having me.
                                         
                                         And also from the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Carl Chandler.
                                         
    
                                         G'day, dickhead.
                                         
                                         That's great stuff.
                                         
                                         Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         Now, Tommy, I'll start with you.
                                         
                                         What was your first memory of McDonald's? I think for me, my first memory was when I was about probably six years old.
                                         
                                         Which was yesterday.
                                         
                                         Kiss you, little...
                                         
                                         Oh, Carl, stop it.
                                         
    
                                         Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         Okay, Tommy, and what would be your favourite McDonald's restaurant?
                                         
                                         I'd probably say the one in the city that's near Victoria Market.
                                         
                                         Nope, nope.
                                         
                                         Gonna have to disagree with you there.
                                         
                                         Bit of backlash from Carl.
                                         
                                         Things are heating up here on Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         Ah, this is Billy Dee Williams, and you're listening to Xavier's Corner.
                                         
    
                                         Nope, Tommy, you're completely wrong.
                                         
                                         The best one is the one on the corner of, near the corner of Bourke and Elizabeth.
                                         
                                         Best McDonald's, cleanest one, best fries, hands down, it's the best.
                                         
                                         Ooh, Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         Well, that brings us to the end of this week's episode of Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         I'd like to thank my guests.

                                         It's my pleasure.

                                         I'm sorry, I just switched off for a second. I missed

                                         It felt like
                                         
                                         one of those

                                         they've got the watermark
                                         
                                         over it the whole time
                                         
                                         in case another podcast
                                         
                                         uses Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         Just in case people forget
                                         
                                         what they're listening to,
                                         
    
                                         it'll just keep letting you know.
                                         
                                         I think you guys should do this
                                         
                                         in this show.
                                         
                                         On the Little Dum Dum Club,
                                         
                                         we should do that.
                                         
                                         Yeah, just have
                                         
                                         Little Dum Dum Club
                                         
                                         every five seconds. We'll start doing that on the Little Dum Dum Club we should do that. Yeah, just have Little Dum Dum Club every five seconds.
                                         
    
                                         I think maybe we will start doing that on the Little Dum Dum Club.
                                         
                                         We do it on Rusty Fragment.
                                         
                                         Every now and then randomly this voice will come out.
                                         
                                         I don't even know where it comes from.
                                         
                                         I'm just going, Rusty Fragment.
                                         
                                         You know what you should start saying?
                                         
                                         Xavier's Corner.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Xavier's Corner.
                                         
    
                                         I also like how much sponsorship Xavier's Corner gets.
                                         
                                         I like that our podcast doesn't have sponsorship,
                                         
                                         but the podcast within our podcast has sponsorship.
                                         
                                         And the sponsorship is longer than the actual segment.
                                         
                                         I reckon it could have done with a Xavier's Corner in the middle.
                                         
                                         I think during the credits for it, you forget what the show was.
                                         
                                         So we're going to put it right back there.
                                         
                                         Another little sting of Xavier's Corner.
                                         
    
                                         Chew it, Hill Pizza Pasta and Chinese.
                                         
                                         Is that a real thing or not?
                                         
                                         Well, yeah, Chewett Hill's a place.
                                         
                                         Where is it?
                                         
                                         Is it?
                                         
                                         Yeah, in Perth.
                                         
                                         Is it really?
                                         
                                         Chewett Hill?
                                         
    
                                         Chewett Hill.
                                         
                                         And I got sponsorship from Chewett Hill's Pizza Pasta and Chinese.
                                         
                                         We should go there.
                                         
                                         We should visit Chewett Hill when we're in Perth next week.
                                         
                                         I think you guys should.
                                         
                                         I've got a friend there who will take you out.
                                         
                                         She actually took out McGregor when he went there.
                                         
                                         Last time he was in Perth, he rang her and just said,
                                         
    
                                         you know, I don't want to do it.
                                         
                                         And she said, I'll show you around.
                                         
                                         She took him to a taxidermy museum and some other place.
                                         
                                         She'd take you there for sure.
                                         
                                         It's my ex, you know, Tegan?
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         She took McGregor out.
                                         
                                         She took him out.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, she's really awesome.
                                         
                                         She'll take you out and show you weird stuff.
                                         
                                         How does an OCD guy go in a taxidermy museum?
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         That's what I was like.
                                         
                                         But apparently he dug it.
                                         
                                         Cool.
                                         
    
                                         But why is that the place in Melbourne?
                                         
                                         I mean, in Perth.
                                         
                                         Oh, she just went, I'll take you to the weirdest, you know, just weird.
                                         
                                         What's that?
                                         
                                         There's some bell, the bell tower?
                                         
                                         Yeah, the bell tower.
                                         
                                         She took him there as well.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, cool.
                                         
                                         If our gigs go badly, we can climb that and just start fucking
                                         
                                         picking people off.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and then when we get picked off, they can stuff us
                                         
                                         and bring us to the other place.
                                         
                                         Oh, beautiful.
                                         
                                         There we go.
                                         
                                         Well, guys, I think that is just about all the time we have
                                         
    
                                         for the Little Dum Dum Club this week.
                                         
                                         It went really fast.
                                         
                                         And, you know, that to me is a sign of a good podcast.
                                         
                                         A fast podcast is a good podcast.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Zave, Fleety,
                                         
                                         thanks very much for joining us.

                                         If it wasn't for that
                                         
                                         fucking corner segment
                                         
                                         that we were like...
                                         
                                         Have you guys got things

                                         Not as such, no.
                                         
                                         I think we should

                                         Yeah, okay, that's cool.

                                         I just thought, oh, inflatable pool.
                                         
                                         Oh, racing.
                                         
                                         But it was like, as I said just before,
                                         
                                         when we were having lunch with friend of Joe, Demi Lama,
                                         
                                         he started showing his publicity shots to Demi,
                                         
                                         who looks very, very young.
                                         
                                         Yeah. It's just a picture of, you know, just a scene of this guy going,
                                         
                                         look at me in my pool.
                                         
    
                                         With no clothes on.
                                         
                                         You want to see this again? Well, I don't know if I told you this. Okay, look at me in my pool. With no clothes on. Do you want to see this again?
                                         
                                         Well, I don't know if I told you this.
                                         
                                         Okay, maybe this won't be in,
                                         
                                         but I was looking on the train at a pornographic image
                                         
                                         that you had photoshopped some friends of ours' heads onto
                                         
                                         that we sent them as a prank.
                                         
                                         It doesn't sound like me.
                                         
    
                                         I think it was someone else that did this.
                                         
                                         A bunch of school kids were next to me and saw the phone and went, oh, is that
                                         
                                         the iPhone 6?
                                         
                                         And they're all gathered around me.
                                         
                                         They're crowding around me going, oh, I'm wanting to look at the screen.
                                         
                                         And I'm going, fuck!
                                         
                                         Guys, I've got a lot more interesting things to show you than the iPhone 6.
                                         
                                         My brain is just, when you need that information, it's's like how do you get out of photos on the phone?
                                         
    
                                         I can't remember.
                                         
                                         I can't do it quick enough.
                                         
                                         Well, so this is what you told me off air,
                                         
                                         you getting the new iPhone and then being in a servo with it.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         So not long after I got it, I was paying for petrol
                                         
                                         and I got a text while I was paying and I checked it
                                         
                                         and this is like a week after it had come out
                                         
    
                                         and like the day that all those stories had been on the net
                                         
                                         about people's iPhones bending and breaking.
                                         
                                         And so the guy behind the counter goes,
                                         
                                         oh, is that the 6?
                                         
                                         And I go, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         And he goes, oh, have you had problems with it bending?
                                         
                                         And I go, no, not at all.
                                         
                                         And he goes, can I have a look?
                                         
    
                                         And I go, okay.
                                         
                                         And he just bent it.
                                         
                                         I hand it over and he starts doing his own thing.
                                         
                                         Just like trying to go.
                                         
                                         I'm like, whoa, get ready to fork over a grand, buddy.
                                         
                                         Give me that free fucking petrol while you've got my car.
                                         
                                         Let me have that tanker out there.
                                         
                                         Look with your eyes next time.
                                         
    
                                         Now, did you have a 5?
                                         
                                         Because I've got a 5S.
                                         
                                         I had a 4 and I jumped up from the 4 to the 6.
                                         
                                         I'm just wondering how different the 5S to the 6 is.
                                         
                                         I'm tipping all models bend if you
                                         
                                         put enough force on it. Of course.
