The Little Dum Dum Club with Tommy & Karl

It's a parenting spectacular this week as we're joined by textbook Comedy Dads NICK CODY and HARLEY BREEN! Little Blanket's been having trouble sleeping so Karl's brought in the big guns: the Sleep Doctor to the stars. Meanwhile, Tommy's been babysitting, and if you heard last week's episode, there's an update on his mysterious flu-like symptoms. Was it the novel coronavirus? PLUS Harley and Cody stick around for a messy, al fresco Talkin' Dum Dum, recorded at the pub!

It’s our incredibly timely pre-Christmas spectacular with TOM BALLARD and ANDY ZALTZMAN! Andy’s in the country doing cricket commentary for the BBC so we attempt the impossible: getting him to convert Dassalo and Ballard into cricket fans. We also hear about Tommy’s history with the Boxing Day test, Andy’s video game credits give us an idea for a new platform for the podcast PLUS Tommy’s stressing about Christmas Day, so he road tests some Christmas cracker jokes to see if we can punch them up.

This week we've got a jam-packed show with PETER HELLIAR and NINA OYAMA! Pete's had COVID, Nina's spewed in LA and had a whirlwind relationship, and we follow up on last week's trip to Heathcote by launching our own version of a true crime podcast. PLUS Tommy's been working over-time to get a skerrick of detail from his dad about the time he met Ringo and The Beatles. It's a bumper episode AND we also have our first-ever LIVE Talkin' Dum Dum at the end, with guest MIKE GOLDSTEIN! Chandler's heard a ripper new Maryborough story, Tommy's trying to offload some tickets, and we browse a Patreon subscribers Facebook page on the big screen.

It's our first live show in six months at The Union Hotel in Heathcote, Victoria with HARLEY BREEN, BRETT BLAKE and OLIVER CLARK! You'll hear all about the journey up on the Milan Party Bus, the continuation of our long-running tech issues, and then a whole lot of chaos as people are falling off chairs and we slowly lose our minds on stage. Is it good to be back? I don't remember. Enjoy! No refunds.

It's a Queensland spectacular this week with ALEX WARD and DANIELLE WALKER! Since Wardy was last on the show she's both gotten engaged AND lost her engagement ring! Chandler's still on the hunt for his wedding ring, and he's also got his hands full with Blanket's Christmas present request. Meanwhile, Tommy's worrying that he's bitten off more than he can chew with his Christmas day plans and OF COURSE, the Main Event is more fodder from Danielle's childhood history, including sunburn, Barbies, rabbits and changing rooms.

This week we're joined by newcomer SAMI SHAH and showbusiness legend ADAM KNOX! Sami guides us through a specific part of life in Pakistan that very much appeals to us: McDonalds. We also hear about his insanely ambitious first-ever gig, and we have some questions about his luxury watch business. As we get closer and closer to our big live show in Heathcote, Chandler's hit a few logistical speed bumps that have kept him up at night. PLUS Tommy's trying to uncover more details from a bombshell story about his dad meeting quite possibly the most famous people in the world.

We said we'd never Zoom again, but for GUY MONTGOMERY and URZILA CARLSON, we can make an exception! Urzila flexes her podcast awards over us, we learn all about her history in the newspaper industry, we hear about Tommy's first job at Baker's Delight, Karl's not-so-mysterious firings from his early employment, and Guy's supermarket job helping him to discover his future talent for stand-up comedy. PLUS Tommy's tried to reconnect with a childhood friend with disastrous results. Will he be able to salvage the friendship? Probably not, after this episode comes out!

This week we're getting medical with BEN LOMAS and NICK CAPPER! Two of our best mates have had recent health scares so we go full Patch Adams and try to ease their ailments by doing what we do best: crackin' wise about someone else's misfortune. You'll hear all about Ben's out-of-control rash that landed him in the emergency room, Capper's attempts to put some of his "little Cappers" on ice and so much more! Plus we find out live on air whether Karl has Covid, and Tommy's finally cracked open his new favourite recipe book!

This week we're getting loose with two of our favourite grubs, GREG LARSEN and BEN RUSSELL!

Plus, there's more strange goings-on in Chandler's apartment building, Tommy's cooked up a new game by prowling through his local newsagency, and we delve into the previous employment history of young Greg Larsen and, shockingly, it's porno-based!
