How To Do Everything with Tommy Dassalo

Hours after having a Snickers induced psychosis, I’m joined by JUSTIN HAMILTON in my hotel room! We pick apart our two decades of shared history: from me wreaking havoc at the Bourne Ultimatum premiere, Hammo making me lose my mind in the back of a taxi, and the hours and hours we spent playing poker with other comedians.

We also finally hear the other side of the story of Hammo getting a massage from Wil Anderson live on stage in Adelaide and attempt to figure out how to get older without losing touch with pop culture.

SASHI PERERA joins me today. She's been killing it all over the place: nominated for Best Newcomer, appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention and selling out shows all around the world. I didn't really know her until recently when we shared a venue together at the Comedy Festival which, as we discover, is a lot like being in a long distance relationship. We discuss my Air BnB travel hack, Sashi's newfound love of quitting, singing in live comedy shows and always needing to be right.

I’m long overdue to have my beautiful boys BRETT BLAKE and NICK CAPPER on the podcast so I figured why not get ‘em in here together for a big catch-up over a couple of beers. 

We chat about having a perfect day on the weed edibles, learning to drive on a farm, the mortifying audition tapes of us that exist in a warehouse somewhere and how Brett and I narrowly avoided getting bashed in a McDonalds on the side of a freeway.

This week I'm joined by LIZZY HOO! She's hosted the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala and appeared on Have You Been Paying Attention? among many, many other things. How many of these achievements were on her personal Bingo Card that she keeps every year? We chat about drafting difficult texts and e-mails in the notes app as a form of therapy, rewarding the small victories, nostalgia concerts and how Lizzy failed so badly at a TV quiz that she had to be fed the answers.

SONNY DAY is one half of We Buy Your Kids - a design duo who've made incredible posters for the likes of Jack White, Youth Group, Laneway Festival, as well as tonnes of movie and video game posters for Mondo. As a painter, he's had solo exhibitions around the world and painted murals for Paramount House in Sydney to pluck just a couple of credits from his amazing CV. I'm very fortunate to call him a friend, I'm continually inspired by his work and his outlook on life and so it was a no-brainer to have him on this show. We retrace our friendship from being bullied over dental floss to painting over questionable murals during a heatwave, chat about the harshest feedback I ever got from an art teacher at school, having tough conversations as you get older, and pondering the later in life career pivot. Great chat with a great dude.

My old pal DAVE THORNTON joins me this week! Dave's such a knowledgeable guy about so many things so of course I couldn't resist wasting his time by talking about him about the Sonic The Hedgehog movie. We learn about how Dave's juvenile streak is really striking a chord with his children, his obsessive love of basketball and how it developed at a young age, and his failed attempts at mindfulness during the early days of dating his partner!

As the host of ABC's Take Five ZAN ROWE has interviewed hundreds of people and is so beloved as a conversationalist that just before this episode, she was giving a talk in the building where I record about how to be a good interviewer. No pressure! We chat about how Zan taunted me online about the fact that she was watching Jamiroquai in Adelaide and I wasn't, we learn what makes for a good international travel itinerary and how Zan's love for gardening has opened her up to a raft of important life lessons.
