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"!
