Ding Dong! We've got the GOAT of Australian standup, DAVE HUGHES, and maybe like the SHEEP or GOOSE of Australian standup, DANNY McGINLAY!

There's a LOT to get through: Are we arguing with Hughesy about Joe Rogan?; what do you do when you're too old for ballet?; has my family been blacklisted from schoolkid play dates?; we try to figure out what jobs we can do when A.I. takes over; we get into MY low-key conspiracy theories; we touch on Hughesy's recent injuries; there's both Maryborough sporting AND Facebook group updates; obviously some weird customer interaction at Basement Comedy Club; and of course we get an update about Hughesy's podcasting van! It's a million miles a minute!

Plus: We make up for last week's "Let's Talk to Blanket" debacle with a bed-time "poo story"!

Ding Dong! It's two legends of Australian comedy: WIL ANDERSON and DAVE O'NEIL and one legend of Australian comedy admin: Me.

There's a lot to get through: Wil's been to see some famous bands; Dave's lost a voice-over job; Wil's had a truly over-the-top case of mistaken identity; Dave has done something never-before-seen at Basement Comedy Club; we try to find out if there IS a gig Dave wouldn't do; the Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ has confirmed a FASCINATING GUEST and we discuss what the fall-out will be; and we find out about several rival South-East Asian festivals containing Australian entertainers happening at the same time!

So much fun, and so much going on!

Plus: Blanket and I discuss where it's all going wrong in general.
