We're back LIVE in Melbourne with guests ROVE MCMANUS, TOM BALLARD and MELANIE BRACEWELL! We've both been busy getting ready for the Comedy Festival this week but luckily Tommy's been able to outsource the content for our opening riff to an AI so you'll barely be able to notice. Meanwhile, Karl's continuing his tour of all the new Thai restaurants on Bourke Street, Tommy's been solicited for a new dating show, and we have an EXCLUSIVE show business bombshell regarding Rove McManus' real name. PLUS, we have the debut episode of our new reality show THE YARN, which amazingly goes far better than we ever could have anticipated. Say hi to your John for me!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

652 - Live! Rove McManus, Melanie Bracewell & Tom Ballard

This week we're joined by Taskmaster's WIL ANDERSON and LLOYD LANGFORD! We go behind the scenes of the new series of Taskmaster and find out about the windowless room that the competitors are holed up in, who got booked first out of Lloyd and his partner, and how long it takes to flip a chair. There's also more Carl Barron conspiracy theories, we pretend to have never heard of Ashely Madison, Tommy's missed an important sponsor e-mail, and we nail down a cover story for our "corporate retreat" in Thailand as part of the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back in Brisbane with DAVE ANTHONY, GARETH REYNOLDS, DAVE O'NEIL & HARLEY BREEN! Dave Anthony takes his title of 'surprise guest' a little too literally, we dissect Magic Round and some key moments in NRL history, Chandler's been called in to the principal's office and Dave O'Neil's been doing some digging into his ancestry and probably wishes he hadn't. PLUS: RAD DAD COMES TO BRISBANE!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're joined by TOM BALLARD and SAMI SHAH! Tom's been to Bali and is paying the price, Sami's got us all interested in the Ubud Writer's Festival, and Karl's just back from his meeting with The Stay Resort in Koh Samui. Plus we're speculating on the current address of an Australian comedy legend, planning a setlist for our band at the Koh Samui Podcast Festival, and listing people we know who used to be young!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We’ve roped in two of Perth’s finest this week: ANDREW WOLFE and FRANKIE ROWSTHORN! Frankie’s performing in the Comedy Zone under the tutelage of a Friend of the Show, Wolfie’s been abusing audience members in Perth, Frankie’s dad has leapt to her defence in India on The Amazing Race, and of course, we get an update on Karl’s potential funds for a Thai bar! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've dragged ourselves out of bed after the Comedy Festival and we're joined by LUKE HEGGIE and MIKE GOLDSTEIN. We reflect on The Worst of Melbourne Comedy and the memoir that Karl got given as a gift, Tommy can't avoid seeing the Sperm Bank bit AGAIN, demand for the Abishek t-shirts is high, and Karl's found out a dark secret from Luke Heggie's past. PLUS Nick Cody pops in!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
