Because it was he didn't really acknowledge that. He just did like something else. He actually did it really well. I I don't know what it was.
SPEAKER_00Oh, so it wasn't like, oh, look at my six pack.
SPEAKER_02No, no, no.
SPEAKER_00It was like he just took his shirt off and happened to have a six pack.
SPEAKER_02I think he was talking about women faking things. He's like, oh, it's fucking bullshit or something, blah blah blah. And then he he did it so nonchalantly that it worked.
SPEAKER_00Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, because and it wasn't like a like a uh doing it for ages type thing.
SPEAKER_00David Morgan Bratt. Sounds like an insurance company. Yeah. But it's definitely lawyers. Yeah, yeah. He is nut.
SPEAKER_02He will he will take he's like, are we insured for that? And you're like, oh, I thought you wanted I thought you wanted kangaroo insurance. Like, I want to insurance my house.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I thought you want insurance if a kangaroo comes in.
SPEAKER_02What's anything interesting happening in your world?
SPEAKER_00Uh what's been going on this week? Just loads of shows. Yeah. Lots of gigs. Last few weeks have been like that, actually. There's been um just every night, uh, which has been fantastic. That is the growth of this Perth comedy scene. I'm very grateful for it. There's rooms every yeah, every every night there's gigs now, which is fucking great. Um so I've just been doing that and sleeping. That's basically been my life.
SPEAKER_02I got back into the gym. Nice. Yeah. Um I'm trying to fucking lose a stack of weight before I go to Canada. So we'll see that. Um I've also started taking a a drug.
SPEAKER_00Oh, for dick lengthening.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Uh no side effects yet. All positive. No, I started taking a thing called juramime. Uh which is like a amphetamines? Yeah. Speed. Pretty much. It just gets rid of your appetite. Um brings up your heart rate. I guess if your heart rate's elevated all the time, you're always gonna be fucking.
SPEAKER_00It's a stim stimulant to appetite suppressants. That's why people have like coffee, caffeine or whatever to suppress their appetites. Fuck yeah. Not not jittery or anything.
SPEAKER_02Not jittery. I've taken it before. Um You done stand up on it?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And it's not you don't like race through your bits or nah. I'm on it, I'm on it right now. Okay. Um I knew it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But it's Come on right now, everything's fine. It's uh it's no issues. I've had it before. I think that's why I'm was not keen, but happy to go back to it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um we should say as well, this is prescribed by a doctor.
SPEAKER_02Oh, is it? No. Isn't it? Yeah, yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um originally I I got it because I had sleep apnea and the doctor was like, Yeah, you're probably not gonna lose much weight because you've got sleep apnea and you don't sleep properly, so you can't uh like essentially like get into a REM sleep where that's all your your body starts to recalculate and be like, oh shit, what's going on here? He's in a calorie deficit and this and that, and it goes all whacked out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So I got prescribed well, I got prespired prescribed to go to uh sleep doctor and I was like that's not a that's not a thing. Um and that was just um wish. But then um I I tried to do it. And then tried to do what? I tried to go to the sleep doctor. I rang up, got a referral and all that shit, and uh yeah, they're like, Yeah, it's six months. And I was like, um wake that fella up because isn't this detrimental and I need to get my and they're like, Yeah, there's a backlog, there's not many sleep doctors. I'm like, no shit. I've never heard of a sleep doctor, because it's fucking fake.
SPEAKER_00I guess people do yeah, they call themselves sleep experts or whatever. Sorry, Pachillo's just messaging me about this last story that we told. Um he's saying that he was just uh uh dishing out justice.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that animal. Um, but yeah, so I I said to the doctor, I was like, it's six months until I can get into these people, then you're telling me sleep apnea can like kill me any night. So and I can't apparently lose weight.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, because it's it's the respiratory thing, isn't it? So like you could literally stop breathing. Yeah, yeah. Um, so he get so he prescribed that to help lose weight.
SPEAKER_02She doctors can do it too. So, like, yeah, I just woman doctors.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02Asian woman doctors.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay, that's fine. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say Oh, I had IMC'd the other night, and I said the funniest and most racist thing I've ever said in my life on stage. Go on. They didn't catch not a hundred percent of the crowd catching.
SPEAKER_00I was there for this. Did you hear it? Uh I know it because I think wait, we talked about it afterwards, but I I actually missed the line. Yeah. Because you shook uh Roz's hand after Roz did a bit about chlamydia.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And you were like, uh. And then you're like, not the chlamydia thing.
SPEAKER_02And it was because Yeah, I was like, not the chlamydia thing, it's a race thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Because Roz uh Roz is uh what's Roz? Roz is a a brown something.
SPEAKER_02Half Asian, half white.
SPEAKER_00Is he? I don't know what his own, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Half Filipino, half white dog.
SPEAKER_00Um adorable little thing. He's like 3-6 or something, 3-7.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, with shoes on. Um, but yeah. On a stool. Uh I was sort of glad that it because the the ew touching his hand got a decent reaction. Yeah. And then I kind of went like, ah, fuck it, I'm gonna say it. And then it got it got the front row.
SPEAKER_00And I was just like, I think I even looked at one of them and went like um Yeah, because I tried a bit that night about um about my dog being racist. And uh it's a very innocuous bit, but the whole I've always like that was the first time I did it, but I was worried when I was thinking about it, if like they think that I am trying to get a racist view across when what I'm actually doing is I just want to say that my dog is actually a piece of shit. Like, because she can be a dickhead. So that was the that's the whole point of it. And that people put their dogs on pedestals that they don't belong on. I'm not gonna do the bit, obviously, but the uh when I when I when I said that my dog is a racist part of the the joke is that like I I barely trained her that way, so it's not really my fault. And there was an uh an Asian woman at the front who just like her looks kind of changed, but it was it was fine. But she was like, I don't know if you noticed her, but she was really like happy and actively laughing at everything, you know. I mean, she was one of those really good audience members, and I was like, fuck, I hope I don't just grab her offside with this thing. Um, but she was she was back on board, it was fine.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that was good good crowd. AMC'd that one really good crowd, actually.
SPEAKER_00Um small but mighty. Was that I did I close that? Is that the one where I went to the yeah? Okay, I gave you amazing outro. You did actually, yeah. Call me a superstar, which uh to be fair, I am. Um, but uh the uh the yeah, I missed all of that show, I think, apart from it was a good show, actually.
SPEAKER_02To be fair, everyone did well. It was a yeah, they seemed really good.
SPEAKER_00Same with last night.
SPEAKER_02All the MC mate.
SPEAKER_00Same with last night. We had a really good crowd in last night, and there was only it was a small like new material room. Um there was maybe like ten or twelve people in, but it was great.
SPEAKER_02I have a uh it's kinda it's a theme of how fucking dumb that I am uh on this podcast and just laying everything to bear. I think it's a normal thing too. Do you have or have you in the past gone on maybe uh someone's social media out of curiosity, or like an ex-partner, probably to be specific and looked at their social media to be like, ah, fucking I I've heard they've had a kid and I wanna see what the kid looks like, you know, just curious or partner or something like that.
SPEAKER_00I'll be honest, no. Yeah, okay. Because I I mean uh no no real reason, I guess I don't care. Yeah. But when I think about what people put on social media, I know that wherever my wherever thing I need, sort of whatever itch I need to scratch is not gonna be satisfied by somebody's social media. Yeah, because yeah, well, because their social media is just gonna be their highlight reel and their holiday stuff. Like I'm guessing if I want if I heard that like an ex was with like a new guy or something, and I I was I was that sort of concerned about it that I wanted to check up, I'm probably not getting what I want from from that. So yeah, I don't think I would do that. Explain what happened.
SPEAKER_02So I was chatting to one of my friends who is you know still in contact with one of my we with my ex missus, and uh she she said something and I read it wrong, and I was like, oh shit, like either they had a kid or something like that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, like your friends text you were texting your friends.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, just in like conversation, I was just curious and I was like, ah, I don't have her on Facebook, so I went is this can I say her name? You can if you're Michelle, yeah, yeah. So I went on her Facebook to look at it, and it was a she's on private, so I couldn't really tell. And I'm looking at the picture and I'm like, that's a fucking ugly kid. And it wasn't, it wasn't like uh I fucking hate, I don't hate her at all. Yeah, I just don't talk to her, that's fine. I'm more of a like, we had fun, it was fantastic, but that it's over. Like, I don't need to be that. I think the last couple of episodes we talked about, that person in the background who's like, Yeah, we'll be friends, like, I still want to fuck you. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So I saw the picture and I'm like, fucking hell, that's an ugly kid. And it was a quite like she's in a nice dress, and it was really nice backdrop and shit. And I'm looking at this tiny little picture, and I'm like, holy shit, like, and like she's married now.
SPEAKER_00Um sorry, it's probably worth pointing out. You just said she's on private, right? Yeah, yeah. So you kind of you have to like, it's hard to see the it's hard. So this is what we're getting at, I guess. It's hard to see.
SPEAKER_02So I'm like, oh, that's fucking like in my head, I'm like fucking gross. Like they have not made a a good looking child.
SPEAKER_00And then she'd tell me it's a fucking echidna or something.
SPEAKER_02I screenshotted it. So you can zoom in. Zoom in. It was a ratty, like 15-year-old dog. Fucking hell. I was like, ah, and then I went back to the message and I was like, Oh, yeah, they're they're trying for kids.
SPEAKER_00Oh no, that's such a weird thing to say. They're trying for kids, they're fucking, yeah. Like, why do people say that? It's like, oh, my partner and I are trying for a baby. Yeah, like you don't need to tell me that you and your partner are fucking more. Yeah, such a weird way to say that.
SPEAKER_02That is very strange. I had my first pregnant woman at a show two weeks ago. Probably not, heavily pregnant, probably not your first.
SPEAKER_00You've been doing comedy for like a decade, but but there's definitely no chance that that was the first time, but so pregnant that I was willing to point it out. Oh, okay. Now that is a different story. Yeah, because you see a woman sitting in a certain way, and then look at that fat bitch. No, but like they do sit a certain way, and you go, like, oh, she's probably pregnant. But if I get this wrong, that's horrible.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, because she was quite slim.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um, and her she had like the top that just her belly was fucking out. Yeah, like you're pregnant as fuck. Yeah, very pregnant. And I was doing a joke about dating and whatnot, and I I looked at her and I was like, You're you're pregnant, yeah. And she was like, Yeah, yeah, I am. She should have said no. And I was like, I looked at the guy sitting on the couch in front because it was federal, and I looked at him like, I fucking dodged a bullet there, didn't I? That was brutal. I'm like, I'd never asked a woman if she's pregnant in my life. I've seen her on too many shows. I was like, Oh no, I'm not pregnant. And she was like, Yeah, I'm pregnant. And I was like, fuck. And I'll and then I paused and I was like, genuinely, pregnant women scare me. Like they freak me out. They do. They always have there's something about like a baby in their stomach growing. It just it weirdly freaks me out. And it freaks me out that we're so nonchalant that like someone could bump into her and something happened. That's more my thing to be like, you should be protected.
SPEAKER_00That's how I was with my wife when we would go out shopping and stuff. Yeah, I wouldn't. Like, I quite literally was ready to kick the fuck out of anybody. Do you know? A woman came up to my wife when she was very pregnant and put her hand on a on Kate's stomach. She didn't know this woman.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, crazy.
SPEAKER_00Just put her hand and went, Oh, congratulations. And she I think she kind of realized what she did, but I would had she'd already seen my expression. Yeah, I was like, get away from my what the fuck? Get away from my wife. What are you doing? Uh she's not pregnant. It's uh that stuff is because I'm the same. I see a pregnant woman, I'm like, oh my god, if like if you fall over, if you why you should be in a car accident, you should be in a bubble in your house and and not move at all. 100% because um actually my wife and I got into quite a fucking heated debate about this early on when she was talking about the things that she could do when she was pregnant, the things that you can't do, and one of the things she wanted to continue doing. She's just like luggage. No, one of the things one of the things she wanted to continue doing was horse riding because she wrote that's madness. Well, this is the thing uh because she was actually dumb as rocks. She was talking about um because she my my wife has been with involved in horses and stuff for like the the longest time. She has nothing to do with them anymore, but she used to. She was a she was a fucking horse girl, let's be honest. And um, she had a uh a friend, I guess, I don't know, somebody who really pregnant all through her pregnancy was riding a horse and you know would post pictures of it on social media. Like, she's a psycho for the sake of a photo on her on her Instagram. She like that you can all fucking like and go like, oh look at you so pregnant. Like, she's willing to risk her baby's life and her own safety. That is absolutely fucking absurd to me. And I was like, I will never tell you what you can and you can't do, but you cannot ride a fucking horse while you're pregnant with our child. That is insane. It only takes I'll kill the horse.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it only takes like a snake or something to start.
SPEAKER_00Horses get spooked by fucking plastic bags, like they are for how big they are, they're gonna skip it. Yeah, they don't know that they're that big, they don't know that they scare things, they see the tiniest little thing and they're like, oh fuck.
SPEAKER_02Oh man, yeah, they're scum.
SPEAKER_00Anyway, wait, what were we talking about? Horses and being scumbags before that though, oh pregnant woman at the show, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Okay, so I um I did that and I fucking I was we I was talking about it was off the cuff and I was just like, Yeah, it just freaks me out. But instead of saying a baby in your belly is growing, it's weird. Like any right now it's just getting bigger and bigger. I said a cum monster.
SPEAKER_00I didn't mean to tread on that. I was just I didn't think you would have said cum monster.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I was like there's a fucking cum monster in your belly just growing, and she fucking started like howling, and then the like the room got going. Okay, um, and I was like, probably shouldn't call it a cum monster anyway. And then I went into my like dating bit and then finished with that, and then uh do a dumb joke about the raincoat or protection at the end, and then um she was laughing like quite loud at that, and I'm like, You're fun, you're fun. I'm like, that's probably how you got pregnant. So that was a that was a that was a fun one. It was just funny to like have that sort of like oh shit. But all of I not all of this, but going back to the mining stuff, they had to really, really hammer in. You have to mine for gold, yeah. And it's now every set I'm like, ooh, maybe there is something that I can sort of, you know. I you know, we've got a big gig on the weekend at a theatre, yeah. Um, but you know, that'll be straight fucking material.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because that's hard, it's harder to connect with them in a in a theater. I don't know what this particular theatre is like, but I've done quite a few of those smaller theatres now. So we're not talking about you know, two, three thousand people in a theatre, we're talking like two or three hundred. So it's still it's like comedy club, but like set out like a theatre. So the ceilings will be too high, they they're gonna be too far away from us. Yeah, um, like that front row is usually like quite a distance, and the stage will be will drown on that stage, it'll be huge and quite high. Just from experience of like these smaller theatres. Uh so it is kind of harder to connect with them that way, I think.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so I'm just happy to do my my normal material on fucking bounce.
SPEAKER_00I'm looking forward to that one.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it should be fun. Um I'm staying down there, so. Oh yeah, fuck that. Yeah. Well, actually, I'm staying on the couch at the moment, so it'll be nice to nice to go to a hotel and help out and all that jazz.
SPEAKER_00And yeah, just uh No, I I I genuinely don't mean fuck that either, because it will be fun. Like it we're with a fun group and it'll be a good gig and everything around it will be fun. I just it's not that far away. That's the thing.
SPEAKER_02Well, I yeah, I if I had a car, I probably would have drove.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely. Um, but like the guy who's running it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, I haven't said the story about the car.
SPEAKER_00Um, but yeah, the guy, the guy who's running it. We did a show out in the sort of eastern hills, and he was like, Oh, I'm gonna stay uh like the night. And I was like, it's an hour away, yeah. And he was like, Yeah, oh yeah, it is, isn't it? And he stayed, he stayed at the at Nola's hotel.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It was out in York, it was like maybe an hour and a half away at the very most. But he was treating it like it was like a day's a day's drive. Whereas we drove, is it five hours to Geraldton?
SPEAKER_02Four hours four and a half, four and a half for me.
SPEAKER_00So we drove four and a half hours to Geraldton that on that Saturday like afternoon, did the gig and then came back that night.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, some people just don't like driving at night.
SPEAKER_00I have no, I mean we didn't drive, Buddha did it, but like I have no issue. I I offered and you offered like I have no problem traveling like that. Um, yeah, your car, your car met its demise last time. When I went to sell it, yeah the day you went to sell it, it fucking decided it didn't want to work. But then as you were getting it onto the thing, it started.
SPEAKER_02So there was that we had a lot of back and forth of me talking about things that I could do to this car to get fucking money.
SPEAKER_00So there was there was at one point you said to me, Um, could should I drive this into a tree? Yeah, and I said, Yes, that's insane. You went, Yeah, it's insane.
SPEAKER_02You should do it.
SPEAKER_00Well, I don't know. I mean, there was a part I'm glad you didn't because I was worried that you would and you were worried that you would really fucking hurt yourself.
SPEAKER_02Because I'd be like, gotta make it look like it was real. It's like you hit it at 120, and I'm like, yeah, and I'm that's just that zappy cunt, it's fucking like Taywin moved to 36.
SPEAKER_00Um now he does shot put with a tennis ball.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, there's a tiger in his house. But it's uh yeah, there was a big part of me that was like, I could just fraud, do a bit of fraud for this. Yeah, but then I was like, for me, I think it's like, well, I was already stealing money from disabled kids, and now I'm 35 and you know, yeah, getting back into fraud or getting into fraud. Um getting back into fraud. Yeah, it's sort of like, where does it end? You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Like it ends with a heist. Yeah, we we plan a heist. I would fucking love to do a heist. Oh, let me let me just say that now. I would love, I I think that um, you know, a lot of people go like, oh, born at the wrong time and all this sort of stuff. I would love to have been in the age maybe of like the 50s or 60s, where surveillance is absolutely minimal. And if you if you just covered your face a little bit, you could rob a bank and then fuck off. Like what was that?
SPEAKER_02You said rob then when the R came out, I was like, oh my god, you could just put a mask on and go town on them.
SPEAKER_00Someone's walking through a park. I was watching um Place Beyond the Pines. Have you seen that? No, it's a fantastic film with Gosling? Yeah, it's absolutely incredible, beautifully shot as well. But that that's what he does. He has a motorbike and he just goes and robs sorry, he goes raping, he goes a rape him. He's a motorcycle uh rider, uh, like he was part of some circus or some shit, and then he's he's in town, he gets some chick pregnant, and then he needs money, so he just starts robbing banks with this guy. He does he gets away on his bike, stows it in a in a U-Haul, yeah, because he rides it like a fucking lunatic, uh, like bat out of health, stuff. Stand it's all those into the back of the U-Haul. Then they drive the U-Haul off like you know, past police cars because they don't see him. And I was like, okay, one, that's fun. Two, you're getting all of this money, and you know, there's no die packs or any of that shit to worry about because of the the time that it's set in. I think. Um, and then three, most importantly, like as long as you're just not being an idiot, you're getting away with this stuff.
SPEAKER_02That is true.
SPEAKER_00I think whenever I watch like Sopranos or something like that, I just think, yeah, I would love to have been in organized crime. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'm not organized enough, but like I'd love I would love to threaten that Jewish man.
SPEAKER_00No, I just mean like I don't know. I I remember the first time I I heard the uh the phrase career cri uh criminal.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I was like, that's a career, you can just do that as a job. Why am I not doing that as a job? I should just do that. That would be great.
SPEAKER_02That's a good point.
SPEAKER_00Professional criminal, like professional thief. I was like, I I didn't know you could apply to be a To be a thief, like that's a great job to have.
SPEAKER_02Speaking of frauds, this is a weird one. Going back to dating. I went on a date with a girl when I lived in the UK. I don't think I've said it on this podcast. I said it in another one. So stop me if I have. Went on a date with a girl and she's like, come over.
SPEAKER_00Can I stop you there real quick? Did you kill one of her pets? No. Different story. Different story. Different story.
SPEAKER_02Um, went on a date with a girl in Manchester, and she was like, Oh, come over, blah, blah, blah. I was like, Yep, sweet. And I was like going to this area, and I was like, Oh, this is like I think it's called like the Green Square or something like that in Manchester. I don't know Manchester very well. I I believe it's like a quite an affluent, nice area. And I get to her place and I was like, holy shit, this is like awesome. And it was just her living by herself. And I'm like, she told me she was a bookkeeper. And we're sitting down having a chat and stuff. And I was like, Oh, you do bookkeeping? She's like, Oh, I do it like you know, once or twice a month.
SPEAKER_00I used to think the bookkeepers were librarians.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Because they keep books, that makes more sense. Sorry, go on.
SPEAKER_02So I'm chatting to her and she's like, Yeah, yeah, I do it like twice a month. And I was like, Uh, this is a pretty nice place. And she was just like, Oh no, sorry, bookkeeper and dominatrix. Anyway, so like, do you like what do you want to do? And I was like, get tied up, I guess. Um I want to talk more about the thing you glossed over. And she was a very strange girl, and I could tell straight away there was a lot of red flags before the dominatrix fucking thing. Yeah. But she was just like, I was like, I'm scared of you. She was literally like four foot eleven, and she just put her services up on like Gumtree when you're allowed to do that shit back in the day. Not Gumtree. Uh fuck, what was the big one in America?
SPEAKER_00Oh, Craigslist. Craigslist, that was the one. And um I'm annoyed that I said Craigslist because that's how they say it. Because they say Craig, Craig. Yeah, that's weird. So stupid. Sorry, go on.
SPEAKER_02But so I was like, well, I'm not gonna do anything with her. She she's scary. I'm just gonna fucking like I'm just gonna ask her. It's like where Tate Talks, my other podcast, is where it's sort of like like once I honed in.
SPEAKER_00Watch this one.
SPEAKER_02Once I honed in, it'll be a link in the comments. Um once I honed in, I just aced her a thousand dollars. Dave's for all my tour. Yeah, and she it was crazy. She was like, most of my clients are police officers, accountants. Um, fuck, there was another one. It's like people in like a little bit of power. No accountants not, but she was like, Accounting's boring, so they like that like obscure fucking shit. I was like, what do you do? And she was like, whatever, I just put them in a cage, piss on them, maybe burn them a little bit. I was like, What? She was like, Yeah, it's dominatrix. I didn't know what a dominatrix was. Yeah. Um, because I thought they were doing that to her. Like I thought that's what a dominatrix was. Right. Someone who got beat, but she's like, No, she's like, I used to be a submissive, and that's that. I was like, oh. And she was like, I was like, people used to beat you up for money, and she was like, Yeah, it's pretty popular. I was like, I can tell, you're annoying. But she um she fucking like was making bank. I was like, can I ask how much money? And she was like, Oh, maybe maybe 20 minutes. She would there's dungeons that you can rent out, apparently. And she um she would charge I think four or five hundred pounds for like twenty minutes. What? And she would see like two or three people a week.
SPEAKER_00Oh, just a week. Yeah. Man, I I would probably if I was charging those kind of rates, I'd go all in. I would be I'd like I'm I'm working ten hour days, but there's and I'm doing it for like two months.
SPEAKER_02There's not that many people who want to do it, that's it. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so she gets work when she gets work. So it was crazy. And I just she just told me about her life, and like she's like, I got a kid. I'm like, Where? And she was like, Oh no, my parents, my parents look after that. Uh-huh. Um, I I sort of had a mental breakdown.
SPEAKER_00My parents look after that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, she's like, I had a mental breakdown. She's like, I got sectioned. I just got out of like a fucking, you know, what do they call it? Looney bin. I don't think they call it that. Asylum or whatever. Yeah. So like fucking two, yeah, two months ago. Uh I'm like, I'm the Joker. No. Uh, it was so, so strange. I was like, this is this is like a different world. Like, I don't know any of this. And then I just chatted her for like two hours, and she was like, Oh, we should go to a comedy show together once. And I was just like, Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Where's the fraudulent side of it? Isn't this a few years? She told me she was a bookkeeper, David. Oh, okay. That was that was uh an odd. Sorry, I was really distracted just then by the tangent. Yeah, I was like, Wait, it's gonna tie into it to fraud somehow. I defrauded her, I pulled it back. Also, defrauding someone sounds like you've unfrauded them, like they were it's a good defraud, sounds like a good thing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, true. Like defrost whether they were a fraud or then a defrauded them, brought them up too.
SPEAKER_00Now I've got them like they they unfrauded everybody.
SPEAKER_02It's like that comedian was a fraud, and most of his jokes, and he just defrauded. But yeah, uh, very strange. There was a lot of other little bits about that world is crazy, sort of at the end of the pod. But yeah, like heaps of dudes beat her up. Um fucking uh what were some other interesting things? Pissing on people, yeah. Pissing on uh yeah, I burn people sometimes. I'm like, do they ask for that? And she was like, nah, sometimes I know it's a flood. Yeah, well it is. Oh really? Yeah, and she was like a big one. I was like, So what are these what do these dudes do? Like like what's you you fuck them? She's like, Well, I used to be an escort. And she was like, That's gone. And I was like, Okay, and I'm like, what what happens? She was like, the whole thing is denying them the entire time, and then you finally go, like, you can now come, and they jerk off. I'm like, that's it.
SPEAKER_00And that's what they're paying hundreds of pounds for.
SPEAKER_02Hundreds of pounds, yeah. And she was like, Maybe they'll stick their dick out of like a foot the cage, or there's a thing called like St. Andrew's Cross or something that they get like bound to, and she was like, Maybe I might have a whack them off a little bit, but other than that, like it's the whole like teasing, torturing them right to the bitter end. And once you're allowed to say, You're good to go, Joe, they go, and that's it. Fuck. And she just makes thousands and thousands. She'd a hundred percent be dead. Yeah, like a hundred percent. She would have burnt the wrong person. Like, when I get out of this cage, bitch, you're dead. Yeah, she's that's wild. Yeah, good times.
SPEAKER_00It's a weird world, man. It's a weird world. I remember meeting this girl in I think it was in Ecuador, and I can't remember where she was from. She was some European. Oh, actually, no, I think she was like Russian.
SPEAKER_02We're gonna have to pause it here then.
SPEAKER_00Oh, so I met this girl uh in Ecuador, I believe she was Russian, fairly sure. She um really attractive little thing, and she was kind of in that world as well. Yeah, yeah, but like the cool world. Well, this is the thing, like there was a like you were saying, like a bunch of red flags, but then there was one that I just couldn't get over. There was one flag, she was neither, there was one flag, and I was just like, I can't get but because let's be honest, especially when you're traveling, you'll do whatever to get in there, right?
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And I was just like, Yeah, I was like, I'm fine with that, I'm fine with that. And then she started talking about paedophilia, and about how she she was like her point was that we've constructed it societally, like we've just decided this arbitrary age, and that like if you look back, it was a different age, and now technically, uh you know, like kids getting married or whatever at 13 is like there's no reason why we've changed those. I mean, there obviously there are reasons, and this is why I couldn't get past it, yeah. But like she was basically saying that if it's your thing, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to have consensual relations with anybody of any age, and I was like, that's ins how that's insane. Because her thing as well was she was talking about young, young children, and I was like, There is no consenting with a young child, they don't know what they're consenting to, even if they were to say, Oh, yes, absolutely, let's do this thing that you're talking about. They don't know what that is.
SPEAKER_02You're telling me that I'll get a PS5 if I do this, exactly.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they're idiots, and I don't know. Like, I think she probably like has this lasting impression on me of like the stuff that you were just talking about. So that whole thing of like you know putting someone in a cage and peeing on them, burning them. I'm like, I'm sorry, but it's just it's so fucking strange to me. Yeah, like that that world is insane, and I I don't want to be like super judgmental, but if you're that one that that she's crazy, her in particular, yeah. She she's a psycho, but that the rest of it that that she was that it was all kind of married together with the you know the dominatrixy type of shit and all that stuff. I'm like, it's all very, very weird to me. These people are really strange.
SPEAKER_02I mean, yeah, I wasn't even fun when I was in that cage either.
SPEAKER_00Did you I was gonna say, did you like partake in anything? Like, or was this just a so was she trying to date you normally?
SPEAKER_02Like, was this I don't even know, like it was a pretty brief Tinder.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay. Yeah, so you like you swiped, you matched, you went out for a drink or something? Or yeah.
SPEAKER_02No, she she was like, Hey, come back to my dungeon, come back to my house.
SPEAKER_00Really? Was that what the first yeah? Oh wow, you can do that when you so you were like fucking sick, we're just gonna fuck.
SPEAKER_02I was I didn't get that vibe.
SPEAKER_00And then she was like, I'm gonna have to tie a knot in your dick and handcuff you or whatever.
SPEAKER_02There's not enough. Um, can't even bend it, but yeah, it was one of those ones where I just I was like, I'll see what happens. I had obviously done it before and gone. Yeah, yeah. And also, too, I'm a guy. Like you're 4'11. Yeah, I'd literally throw you in the cage. Like it's like I'm the danger in this scenario. Yeah, um, so yeah, that was weird. Um there was definitely like a hmm, this is interesting. But there's also the part of I looked at her and she was so slim. Her thing, this is the other thing. She looked very, very young. I think we were both 25 at the time, so 10 years ago, but her whole thing was she showed me her ad for like Craigslist or whatever, and it was like her in a school uniform as like a tiny little petite thing. Yeah, and I was like, Oh, you look like a child. Yeah, it's so strange. And I was like, That I mean, the Russian lady would have loved her, but um, I was like, too.
SPEAKER_00But I I don't know if the so that Russian chick, like I don't know if that was her thing, and if she was even saying that, like, oh, I I've done this or any any I don't think that's what it was. I think that she was trying to be so sort of like philosophical about stuff. Love's love, man. Like, kind of, I think that that was her her angle. I don't know if she was like trying to vet people or whatever, but I ran a month. What do you think about exactly I ran a month they never saw her again? And I I don't I don't regret that, but I do kind of regret not banging her because I put the work in beforehand. Do you know what I mean? Like, you know, when you because I remember meeting her, she I think she stayed at the hostel that I was staying in, and then I moved, but I saw her again a few times. Like we went out and had like drinks and stuff a few times, and we hung out, and I was like, ah, this is probably gonna work out. And then she's like, Hey, isn't fucking pedophile cool? Like, wow, no, dude.
SPEAKER_02You just playing Uno in the hostel, you know, a little bit too drunk, and it's just like fucking what do you think about pedophiles? You're like uh reverse card, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Reverse yeah, no, yeah, yeah, it's madness. There, yeah. The people you meet traveling, fucking hell.
SPEAKER_02We'll finish this one up soon, but when I was this is just on topic but off topic, I was in a hostel room in Berlin, Germany. And I had a 12-bed dawned myself in a generator hostel. If you've ever stayed in a generator hostel, they're all around the world, and they usually have a comparison capacity of about I don't know, eight hundred to a thousand people. They are fucking huge. They're really big, massive, massive. I think the Russell Square one in London has like nearly a thousand. That's crazy. It's crazy. So like everywhere, storms fucking through the whole thing. Yeah. I'm staying in this, I had a room to myself for three or four nights. Because it was just quiet? Nope. I just got lucky. That was that perfect fucking storm of me being by myself. And I was like, this is fucking fantastic. Because when you're with people all the time and you can have a nice thing, yeah. Yeah. So I'm sitting on a my my bed one day, and it's been four days, and uh a Japanese girl walks in and she comes in and she uh looks at me and I'm like, hello, and she's like just turns around and walks off. And I was like, she might know not know English, that's fine. And then she comes in maybe 20 minutes later and like tiptoes in the room. Mind you, I am on my bed here, and where she put her shit is where you are.
SPEAKER_00She says she chose 12 empty beds and she chose the one right next here.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And then she comes and she's looking at me and she's looking real skittish and scared, and slowly grabs her wheelie bag and just leaves. And I was like, That was strange. Is that a ghost? Slowly grabs her what? Her like luggage. Oh, you know, fucking oh yeah, yeah. So wheelie bag. So she just left, and then I'm chatting to one of the bar staff like later that night. And um he's going, like, yeah, yeah, fucking work at the hostel is interesting. You get a few weirdos, like uh two Japanese ghost girls. Yeah, yeah. So he goes, Yeah, I get a few weirdos. Um, he's like, Oh, today, like one of the girls came down to reception. She she went into a room, and you know, there's a weird dude in there, so she just left.
SPEAKER_00You were the weirdo. I was like reading a book or something. Yeah, being so weird. Yeah. I already know that you're lying, though. You were doing something else. You don't read, so you were doing something weird.
SPEAKER_02No, I used to read when I travelled. I did. The girls would see you and go, you look so. And there was a spec, because we we get like, you know, those big book libraries and shit, and I'd just be like, ah, big book libraries, yeah. Or libraries, not the big ones. Yeah. Um and then another one when I was in Manchester when I first got there, there was a weird lady living in the hostel, and she was a very strange and she was chatting to me. Was she a local? No. Okay, she was an African lady. Yeah. She just I don't know. But she she was in my hostel room, and I was like, Oh, there's no fucking outlets. So I need to fucking plug in my phone. And it was like her bunk's a bit further away than where you are, and I'm literally like near this wall here. So probably about, you know, fucking a few meters away from each other. She's got her own space. I'm fucking like doing my thing. But she was talking to me. She's like, Oh, where are you from? What are you doing? And I'm like, Oh, I just was down in Surrey, now I've moved up to Manchester trying to get a job and stuff, looking for accommodation, blah blah blah. And she's like, Oh yeah, cool, cool. And I'm on my phone charging it, just got off the bus for like five hours. And she was like, Hey, um, you're just making me feel really uncomfortable standing there. And I was like, Are you talking to me? And she was like, Yeah. And I was just like, uh okay. So I just like I put my I left my phone there and just like I had to jump on like the top bunk, which was like my top bunk's here. Yeah, she's in the same spot. So I'm in the same area, but now I'm just above being like sitting in my bed, like, well, that was a weird interaction. I just want to use my phone. And then the next day I made friends with people in that room, um, and then some other people that were in that room but left that room because she was a fucking psychopath. She had shit everywhere, like rubbish everywhere. This the staff were like, hey, fuck nut. Stop just throwing your shit. She would go down and get like the complimentary mug of fucking tea. She would have like seven mugs next to her thing, just didn't bring them back down. They fucking hated her. And I was just like, oh yeah. Kick her out. You're the weird one. Yeah, kick her out. I just went from fucking being in a weird. I was the weirdo, now you're the weirdo. Yeah, you're the weirdo. It is very strange. It is strange how like you can genuinely not do anything wrong.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And in someone's mind, eye, they can just be like, that dude's weird. I get a bad feeling about that person.
SPEAKER_00Well, what's funny is that the story that gets told first to that person is the story. Because if you told the story first, like it's a fucking weird Japanese girl just walked in, like, looked at me. She sat on the bed like right next to me, like, which is weird. Because that's a weird thing to do. It's like being on an empty bus and it's just you, and then she comes and sits right next to you. That that is a strange thing to do. But if you tell that story to that bartender first, they're like, Wow, she sounds like a fucking weirdo.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. I think also, too, from guys, we will get pegged with the weird card very quickly. Oh, yeah, yeah. And it's like Which is understandable. Yeah, I get it. Because there are a lot of weird dudes without meaning to be weird as well.
SPEAKER_00It's not just that. It's like you were saying before, like with that other chick, you know, she's tiny, you weren't worried because like you're the you're the threat, basically. Um predator. Yeah, well, we are so so I I get it. Like, you know, we us getting pegged with that weirdo card is also a defense thing.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, she pegged guys. Of course she did. Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that. It was a that was a big one. That was, yeah. Pegging was a big one. Um, but yeah, it was a uh it's just I never forget that. I could just went down having a beer. Guys like, yeah, fucking some weird dude just scared the shit out of this Asian bird. I was like, That was me.
SPEAKER_00I didn't say anything. You didn't tell him, no. Oh, I'd have been like, that was me. I just sat him on my bed. You should she came into my room, but I was there by myself, there was no one else in there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but that's also a guilty thing. You know, I mean, like, protesting, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you can't win. No, that's why I never ever like I'm very I'd never get myself into situations in life where I'm just like fucking if if there's a free seat next to an attractive girl or and I've got to stand up on the train for fucking 40 minutes, I'm standing up. Yeah I'm not fucking just being that guy that goes over and like I'm just like nah, I'm just not putting myself in that situation. Because it's the littlest things of like, oh fucking you see tiny, and I know of little things that happen and people tell the story a different way, and you're like, you're a fucking psycho, and you can genuinely ruin people's fucking like careers and shit. But also, too, I'm not taking away that fucking some dudes and women do horrible, horrible things. No, I know what you mean.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I know what you mean. But yeah, I don't know. I I probably don't think about that stuff enough. Um, because I'll just I'll go sit down. I don't give a shit, to be honest.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's just not my my thing. I just don't want to be fucking sitting near anyone, to be fair.
SPEAKER_00To be honest, I'm not getting on a train. Fuck it. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I got on a bus for the first time in ages yesterday, and I was like, how do these people do it? Even by the end of it, I felt like I was a crackhead. Yeah, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Well, I I I added like 40 minutes onto my journey the other night because I just I didn't want you to get on a train. Don't get on a train if you don't have it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, thanks.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that was good. Fuck that.
SPEAKER_02I mean it was a 20-minute walk to your car, but public transport is that yeah.
SPEAKER_00Look, I I always, especially from ECC. Yeah, look, you're like the no no second person. I I gave Aunt a lift from the comedy lounge once, but I parked in the same spot. So that walk, comedy lounge to there, pretty much equidistant. It's pretty much the same fucking distance. But I gave Danielle a lift home once because she was like, I'm just gonna get the bus. And Danielle's this tiny little English chick.
SPEAKER_02She is the equivalent of that dominatrix too.
SPEAKER_00And I was like, I was like, dude, uh look, I'll I'll give you lift home, and it's on my way as well. But I park down by the power building, yeah. And she was like, Oh, that that's fine. I was like, it's it's like 15 minutes away.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean, I like a walk.
SPEAKER_00It's I'm not really thinking about giving people lifts when I park there. I'm just going, this is me. I get a park here and free parking. I call me a cheapskate if you want. I fucking hate paying for parking. Get fucked.
SPEAKER_02Do you also go through your set in your head on your walk? Is that a thing?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, not free CC unless I'm doing like brand new stuff, but like for the for the most part, I just yeah, I like to think. Yeah. Because I don't have headphones or anything, I'm just walking and thinking.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00But then sometimes as well, it's just nice to walk. Yeah. It's nice to walk and like when the weather's nice too. It's fucking that's my favorite thing to do. Parking there and walk into gigs during fringe when it's like, you know, those evenings where it's it's been 40 degrees all day, but it's just cooling down a little bit and everyone's out and having fun. I love that.
SPEAKER_02That's gonna be one of the weird things going to Canada. Yeah. Like it's gonna be genuinely. And I plan on trying to go to some different spots and try and weasel my way onto some pro rooms, and it's genuinely gonna be like banks of fucking six foot snow and shit, depending on when. Well, yeah, I should be there for that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, summer's ending now.
SPEAKER_02And then I'll be like sending you voice notes being like, it's fucking snowing, I'm not gonna make it.
SPEAKER_0040 degrees here.
SPEAKER_02I don't know if I said on this pod, and there's gonna be a lot of stuff that we sort of regurgitate.
SPEAKER_00I do apologise, but I don't apologize for it. Fuck you.
SPEAKER_02My brother, yeah, fuck you. I'm the dominatrix here. Yeah, my brother told me a story, he was chatting to one of his mates. Who lived in like Toronto or somewhere very, very cold. Maybe a bit further out actually. And I was like, just was just chatting to my brother, and he goes like oh fuck. I was just chatting to Jess and she just said her next door neighbor died. And I was like, okay. Like I don't know the these fucking people are. No, he froze to death. And I was like, ooh, that's interesting. She was like, so she told him that his c car broke down five hundred meters from his house.
SPEAKER_00And he couldn't make it that far without freezing to death.
SPEAKER_02Because he didn't have and I found this out listening to another podcast later down the track. In like Alaska and all these places, you actually should have a box in the back of your car with every person that comes into your car emergency um fucking jackets and pants and shit.
SPEAKER_00Really?
SPEAKER_02Because it's minus 40. Yeah. So he tried to walk 500 meters, and I think he was a bit older to be fair, but he he froze to death. Like, holy shit.
SPEAKER_00So he walked half a kilometer in what? Just like jeans in a jumper or something.
SPEAKER_02Could you imagine just being like you're nice and hot from the gym and being like, my car's just there, I'll fucking power to it, and then blast the fucking the heating. Yeah. Which I they probably don't do that anyway, but in some form.
SPEAKER_00I never have the heating on in the car because it makes me lethargic. It makes me feel like I can make me feel sick. I can be wide awake and I can have fucking just pre-workout and shit and just whatever. Get in a car with the heater on, and I'm like, oh Jesus, I hate it.
SPEAKER_02And it like we had a case where the German backpacker was lost for like what, a week, 11 days. Oh yeah, yeah. And they found it many cases. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they found this one. Yeah. Um, but that was sort of like, oh, at least it's not summer, and at least it's not fucking super cold. Yeah. Whereas they're fucked. I know multiple people who were like, yeah, I had a friend who got drunk and died. Yeah. And you're like, holy and they died of like I never knew what exposure was, but apparently that's just like freezing to death. Yeah. Um, which you're like, holy shit.
SPEAKER_00Um I remember being 100 meters. Well, I remember being in uh in in Norway, I was snowboarding, and I was just like, This is unbearably cold. Yeah, like I was obviously in snowboarding equipment, like in gear, so you're you're well insulated, but I had to buy extra like thermals and shit. I remember breathing through like the balaclava, and then the condensation from my breath would freeze, and and it would just when I took it off, my balaclava would be stuck to my my beard. Yeah, it was crazy, crazy fucking cold. My iPod I had one of those dial iPods. They had these old uh like lithium batteries, but in sub-zero temperatures, those things drain. So like your fully charged iPod is dead in seconds. Yeah, it's crazy.
SPEAKER_02It's fucked, which is terrifying because like if you had a phone and it died in two seconds and you needed help.
SPEAKER_00Who you gonna call? Yeah, fucking no one. You're gonna die out on the mouth. Grim Reaper.
SPEAKER_02Um your balaclavas, we'll finish this up very shortly. But um I worked at a place called Aussie Disposals, yeah, yeah. And my first sale was a Bowie knife, which is like for the people who don't know, is a a um a crocodile dundee knife, the big one, like that's not an Aussie knife. Um, and a balaclava. Brilliant. And I was like, What are you doing? Yeah, what are you up to? And he's like, Oh, just going hunting. And I'm like, Sure you are. What are you hunting? And he was like, uh, you know.
SPEAKER_00People.
SPEAKER_02And that was it. That was the conversation.
SPEAKER_00People's stuff.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. He was a 19-year-old, and I was like, Cool, man.
SPEAKER_00That that is crazy that those can be sold. Yeah. Like that. It's because like I hated it. A balaclava, you don't you don't need one. No. Here, you don't need you, don't need to sell them, you don't need to buy them. I'm going hunting. What? And you don't want the fucking the deer to see your face, mate.
SPEAKER_02It's a uh, and then going back to the black balaclava thing, I uh so there was always couples that came in, obviously. It was in the fucking CBD of Melbourne, yeah, and you know, we get all types of different characters. Couple came in, and I hear them talking about like balaclavas, and I was doing something else near the front of the shop, and I was kind of tucked away to the side, and someone else was serving them, and they ended up buying a balaclava. And as they walk outside, I'm like tucked in the corner, they can't see me, and they're walking out, and the girl goes, I can't wait to suck your dick wearing this tonight. And I ran back basically a gimp mask. Yeah, yeah. I ran back and I was just like, I said this. They're all like, What the fuck? Because she was like, You wouldn't have expected it from her, yeah. Like from memory, I think they were wearing like corporate fucking clothes and stuff. They just finished work and they were just walking around and it was like looking at nice Blunstone boots and stuff like that. Is she attractive? Yeah, yeah, she's hot as fuck. She they probably have an OnlyFans now, which probably Ski Mask Girl 2.0. But I was like, you never know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you never know.
SPEAKER_02I'm like, she's gonna peg that dude while wearing the fucking park. Anyway, on that fucking tangent, I think we're done, man.
