We've said this before but this time it's for real: we're in the world's most cramped hotel room this week, with GUY MONTGOMERY and NICK CAPPER! Tommy's incredibly hungover and done the dirty on a mate, Capper tries repeatedly to land a bit that makes any sense and Karl's been heckled at a comedy gig, which introduces us to our new favourite catchphrase.

Two great mates on the show this week: HARLEY BREEN & DANNY MCGINLAY! We finally wrap up the saga of the Mystery Bus Spewer from our live show in Heathcote just in time to delve into some new drama from our recent live show in Perth! PLUS, Karl’s put photos on the wall of his comedy club, much to the chagrin of some other comedians, Danny’s going to be back on the TV (?), and Harley somehow has stories that trump nearly every single topic that we’ve brought up. Huge fun!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we’re joined by DAVE O’NEIL & BEN RUSSELL to dig even further into our latest scam that we talked about last week. What is it?

It’s the long-overdue return of LAWRENCE MOONEY and LEHMO! Mooney’s tight-lipped about his recent employment termination but that doesn’t stop us from trying to get any scrap of gossip out of him. Meanwhile, Lehmo’s Cleo Bachelor of the Year photoshoot has been a hit in a very unexpected place, we go deep on Mooney’s photoshoot for the Melbourne Museum and his past life as a customs dog handler, and we issue a challenge for any new parents out there!

We're masked up and raring to go this week with WIL ANDERSON, DAVE ANTHONY and GARETH REYNOLDS! Wil’s won an award at the Festival moments before arriving at the podcast, we’ve strictly adhered to Dave and Gareth’s safety concerns with hilariously visual results, and Karl has a big announcement relating to Koh Samui that’s a huge chance of spiralling into a future lawsuit - so luckily he’s got three good friends with his best interests at heart to help him workshop the idea with productive and thoughtful feedback!

Tommy's out of isolation and we're back on our home turf for another HUGE live episode.

It's an absolute muck fest this week as we welcome back GREG LARSEN and CAM JAMES! We spend a LOT of time discussing the history of Rotten dot com and public internet pornography browsing.

It’s another huge episode from Tommy’s Mancave this week as we welcome back GEN FRICKER and BEN RUSSELL. It’s a loose and stupid episode as we attempt to do a long overdue follow-up to The Mystery Of The Bus Spewer, and of course we get sidetracked along the way by talking about Jack And The Beanstalk, and Ben’s recent wedding. It’s a great episode to shoot rope to!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back at our old stomping ground of Austereo this week, as we catch up with JUDITH LUCY and MARTY SHEARGOLD! Judith and Marty take us on a trip down memory lane as they reminisce about the disgusting origins of comedy in Melbourne, as well as getting absolutely poleaxed at the Hobart Comedy Festival. Meanwhile, Marty's had a rough trot at one of Karl's gigs and Judith's been to a saucy osteo. Have a listen and then go for a spin on the dodgem cars. Hosted on Acast.

We're back in Adelaide for our yearly live show that happens to take place during a time that a lot of comedians are in town! In the past we've made a lot of fun of Adelaide but we're on our best behaviour this time and holding ourselves to account.

BRETT BLAKE fills us in on his previous life of moonlighting as an Uber Driver, NAZEEM HUSSAIN drops in and starts flexing his power as a Fringe ambassador, PLUS we're anxious about whether or not FIONA O'LOUGHLIN will turn up, so we've got a very special understudy waiting in the wings...

He's done it again! Karl's beaming in from Phuket and he's brought along perhaps the only person on Earth who's more obsessed with Thailand: TROY KINNE!

We hear all about the trip over to Thailand, including how Karl passed the time on his flight and his imprisonment while awaiting his COVID test result. Plus, Kinne's had an awkward run-in at the gym, Karl's been busted content-ing on the street, and some British lads have been hitting the massage parlours together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're up bright and early with LEHMO and JOSH EARL this week, frantically cramming in a last-minute podcast before Chandler heads to the airport to hopefully make his return to Thailand. If you're curious about international travel during the pandemic and looking for some tips about the easiest way to make sure you've correctly filled out the paperwork and done the right PCR test, then this is NOT the episode for you. But if you want to hear about 7-11, Officeworks, and potentially expired passports, then you're in the right place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back in Brisbane for another HUGE live show in a future condemned building!

It's a parenting spectacular this week as we're joined by textbook Comedy Dads NICK CODY and HARLEY BREEN!

It's a Queensland spectacular this week with ALEX WARD and DANIELLE WALKER! Since Wardy was last on the show she's both gotten engaged AND lost her engagement ring! Chandler's still on the hunt for his wedding ring, and he's also got his hands full with Blanket's Christmas present request. Meanwhile, Tommy's worrying that he's bitten off more than he can chew with his Christmas day plans and OF COURSE, the Main Event is more fodder from Danielle's childhood history, including sunburn, Barbies, rabbits and changing rooms. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're joined by newcomer SAMI SHAH and showbusiness legend ADAM KNOX! Sami guides us through a specific part of life in Pakistan that very much appeals to us: McDonalds.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After last weeks damning story of Karl's first pub session out of lockdown, DANNY MCGINLAY joins us for a right-of-reply, and LEHMO sits in the judges seat. We spend the entire episode going through every facet of this debacle: was Danny justified in wanting to bring his child to the pub? Did Karl give him enough notice? Was the messaging too vague on both sides? Things get very heated and passionate, and we also hear the devastating story of what Danny ended up getting up to on the day. It's good to be back!
