In this episode I call my friend, Nikki, and I tell her a joke.

Nikki and I like to walk together. Sometimes it's little walks near our houses, and sometimes it's multi-day hikes carrying all of our food and water and shelter with us.

A few years ago we both took a week off work so we could go walking in Western Australia. We walked along a section of the Bibbulmun Track, and it was one of the best things I've ever done. If you like walking you should go to there:

In this episode I call my Mum, Patricia, and I tell her a joke.

It's Mother's Day, so I decided to give my Mum another parrot-themed joke. And boy wasn't she so excited to hear from me.

Love you, Mum. Promise I'll send you the link.

In this episode I call my friend, Tristan, and I tell him a joke.

Tristan cooks wonderful food, and writes the most beautiful words about food. One time he got flown from Australia to the USA just so he could write about a burger. Fancy.

This is one of my favourite pieces of Tristan writing, and I defy you not to crave crab once you've finished reading it:

In this episode I call my friend, Kasey, and I tell her a joke.

Kasey is a performer and theatre producer who creates incredible art. She makes feminist, site-specific works and her show The Maze has won a stack of awards in Australia and overseas. It's awesome, and you can (and should) find out about it here:

Kasey has also been in an episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, which is super cool, obviously.

In this episode I call my step-mum, Sharyn, and my dad, Rick, and I tell them a joke. 

My Dad met Sharyn while they were both working at Universal Studios in Florida - they worked on building the Jaws ride and the Back to the Future ride.

When I was little I was SO TERRIFIED of the Jaws ride, I would literally have nightmares about it. It's closed down now, but if you'd like to see the source of my childhood trauma, please enjoy this ride-through:

In this episode I call my friend, Sara-Jane, and I tell her a joke.

SJ and I have many VERY similar interests. Years ago, she and I got completely obsessed with this animated Avengers show called Earth's Mightiest Heroes. It doesn't care about the movie-verse at all, and is genuinely so fun, we loved it. You can watch on Disney Plus if you're looking for fun quarantine viewing:

Sara-Jane is also the person who got me into podcasts. And for this we thank her.

In this episode I call my friend, Katie, and I tell her a joke.

Katie is the best. Katie makes beautiful things out of yarn for the people she loves, and is a wonderful and generous cook.

Recently I made these soft pretzels from a recipe by Katie and our other friend Sara-Jane, and they are SO GOOD, and I felt like a MAGICIAN:

In this episode I call my friend, Chris, and I tell him a joke.

Chris has lived at 65 different addresses in his 39 years on the planet. He turned that experience (which, let's be honest, sounds awful) into a hilarious blog series, AND THEN he made those into an excellent live show for the Melbourne Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Fiona is the best. I love Fiona so much that we have matching tattoos - our tattoos are of this incredible and adorable hippo from the Cincinnati Zoo:

Ben is a good egg. Ben makes amazing soaps (natural, vegan, delicious) that are a delight to wash your hands with - not sure about you guys but I've been washing my hands HEAPS lately.
