We're fading in, We're fading in, we're fading in.
Here we go. It's time for Super Chuckle
Mania, episode number I. Believe it's 403.
Halfway to 806. Oh yeah.
And did you know that if you're listening to this episode, the
world hasn't ended? Yet.
We'll get to that.
Oh my goodness. How are you?
Where are you? I'm now just near Geelong, OK,
not that far from the Great Ocean Road.
For anybody who knows this area, yeah, it's very cold in the
morning. I.
Bet we'll get to that later. That's that.
That was a problem. OK, well let's get into it
because there's a lot to cover so.
Let's just go. And I went on.
Muck it around? No.
Do have a coffee update? I do have a coffee update.
Cue the music. Butter Bang Bang.
Here we go. Well, it's June, so that means
it's time for my Starbucks free birthday drink.
Hello. And I'd I I'd forgotten about
it. I just went in there to get a
drink. OK, and they're like, oh, you've
got the free birth. Oh, and I'm like, Oh my God.
OK, so I go, you go crazy for that because it's all free
everything. So obviously Venti size, the
biggest size you can get. I looked at the like they had
that shortbread thing and the the cinnamon Dolce and I'm like,
I had all them. So I'm just like, I'll just go
the classic caramel macchiato, right?
I got two extra shots. I got oat milk, I got whipped
cream. I got the blonde roast, whatever
that is. Oh, and some.
Caramels, more extra caramel stuff on top.
Everything. Yeah, everything I could think
of. Even the girl was suggesting
things. I'm like, what else can I get?
She was helping. Well I'll get to that in a
minute. OK this is a brand new Starbucks
it's literally been open like 2 weeks.
So the girls working there were super nice.
Still super nice. You know, you can always tell
when when someone's you in a job, like, they're still smiling
and happy to be there. Like, I love it when I go to
McDonald's or Hungry Jacks and there's just like new people.
And it's like, oh, this is called customer service.
They're just nice, happy people. They want to take my order.
They're not jaded yet. Compared to the people who've
compared to the people who've been there for like even six
months, who just hate their job and hate everything and hate
every customer that even walks in the door.
OK. But you know why that is?
It's it's not because of customers like you, it's because
customers that are just trash that.
Make their life. I know why.
Yeah, I know why. But they don't know that when
you walk in the door. Yeah, exactly.
They're just like, here comes another one.
Here we go. Yeah.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Yeah, but it's just like they've just got a vibe.
These people who hate their jobs, like, you can just see
like the anger just seething out of their heads.
Yeah, like, you can just see them.
They just hate it. They hate everything.
Yeah. Oh, my God, I it's so I don't
know. It's just disappointing to see
that. Yeah, when I go into McDonald's
in the morning, I'm happy. I'm going to get my hash brown.
It's a great day. Yeah.
But. And then I walk into some just
miserable cow faces. Like what?
Do you want? Oh my God.
Well, I want you to fucking smile for a start, but you can't
say that, can you? Jesus.
So anyway, you're having your birthday drink?
Yeah, she was helpful. Oh.
Slap to well yeah that's that's the story OK oh she was such a
nice girl she she literally would have been like probably 16
or 17 right and just so nice yeah I mean it helped she was
not ugly but oh it was just it was just such a nice this is how
I want every customer service interaction that I'm involved
with to be like just everyone's happy customer and worker and
it's like how nice is this well in the.
Future everything will be AI so all the robots will be happy.
Oh, that's true, they won't give you.
Attitude. They'll just do what you ask.
Oh no, they'll they'll start programming them with attitude
to deal with idiots. But it was just, it was just so
good. And it's like, why can't it be
like this? Why do I have to have these
miserable donkeys just Oh Jesus. Anyway, so that was that was
good. That was good that that could
even be what's good. It was just such a nice time.
So the coffee update is is you got your birthday coffee.
Yes, and it was great. It was great.
And another coffee thing. I can't remember if just you and
me talked about this or we did mention it on the show, but you
can get these coffee sachets. They're just like a powder.
They've got like coffee powder and milk powder and all you got
to do is add hot water to them and there's your coffee yeah,
you can add milk if you want as well.
But now there's these liquid sachets.
Yes, yes come out just recently I think in Makona.
Yes, I bought them because they were half price when they first.
No, not, not the first week they were out, but maybe the second
or third week that were out they were on the shelf at a half
price. So they were like 40-5 cents or
something. I bought the caramel.
One OK, I just got the normal espresso or strong espresso,
whatever it was. Yeah, dark or whatever it's.
Called and and and I say no. No, you don't like it.
Smelled really nice. It smelled really nice When you
open it and I smelt it, I'm like, Oh yeah, this is going to
be good. How did you make it though?
Well, here's the thing, here's the thing, here is the thing.
Like you read the instructions and it's like just add 150 mils
of hot water and first of all, I'm like, that's not a coffee.
Is that even half a coffee? That is like, that's like a
bloody little shot, right? That's nothing, right.
So to make one normal coffee, you've got at least two sachets
in there. So straight away you're 10 pack,
you're really only getting 5 coffee.
So it's, it's nowhere near the the good value.
You thought it was even at half price because you need two of
them to make a normal sized coffee, right?
And yeah, it was just really average.
It just it wasn't a strong taste.
Do you still have some left or you you finish?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
OK. Yeah, I've still got some.
OK, here's a tip. I've only had like half.
Here's a tip. What I did with mine is, is I on
the stove top, I heated milk and you put the sachet into the milk
and you heat it and stir it through.
And then your cup put like a shot of instant or whatever in
it. And then once it's hot, like
hot, pour it in like a hot chocolate kind of thing and then
stir it through. That's how you do it.
That's what I did. So you're, you're adding the
liquid sachet to this hot milk, milk, milk, Yes.
And then you add that to a cup which already has like 1 spoon
of instant in it. Yeah.
Because I had because. It's not strong enough.
Well, yeah, I had the caramel one, which is more like it's a
new right away it's going to be sweet and probably not really,
you know, it's not going to be a coffee hit when it's diluted
with the milk. So I thought like at least I've
got the sort of caramel flavour and the sweetness and I won't
need sugar. But then I add like a spoon of
instant and then this hot milk with the the coffee sweet, the
caramel in it. It was nice, it was good.
So maybe try try that way. OK.
That's my hot tip for the week. Report back next week.
Yeah, I'll have to try something because they're just really
average as they are. Yeah, like I mean, it was half
price for a new product. Okay, I'll try it.
I'll try any anything. Yeah, but yeah, we'll see.
So that's that's all I got. That's all I got for coffee.
Stove top milk heated and Sasha. Yeah, I'll just microwave it.
OK, well, however you want to do.
I'll just, I'll just get me oat milk in the cup, microwave that,
check the sachet in, then instant powder on top of that.
That'll do the same thing. OK, try it.
Because I cannot cook hot milk, it just it undergoes chemical
changes and I don't like it. OK, no worries.
So. So that's coffee butter bung
bung next. Now it's time for what's good
this week. What's good this week?
Hit us with it. Well remember I was going to see
the Super Jesus. Hmm, after the last gig was
cancelled with no reason in Roselle.
Well, this sounds promising. If it's in, what's good?
Oh well. Spoiler the last key in Rozelle
was cancelled. No explanation, just cancelled.
No one ever said anything. It was supposed to be
rescheduled, that never happened.
And then there was a previous show, it was in October 2021
that was also cancelled, but that was due to a COVID thing,
but still again, Also it's supposed to be postponed to a
new date, Never happened. Never happened, so third time
lucky. I did see them 15th of September
2023 at the Croxton Hotel in Melbourne.
So it's not that long since I've seen them, right?
But I came down to this Geelong area and they were playing in
the bar 1 Heads Hotel, like literally the day I got here.
OK, so we, we woke up, we moved, we came to this place, unpacked
everything and I was like, I'm gonna see super Jesus now.
It was great. It was 14 minutes away, 14
minute drive. That's not too bad.
It's so good to just walk out of a show and then be home like in
under 15 minutes. It's it's so good.
It's good. It was great.
Everything was great. They played the new album in
full whole thing. Wow, start to finish.
You know, that's like anniversary show set lists.
Yeah. And this is what we used to be
crying out for Prince to do, right, Instead of playing two
songs off the new album. Yeah.
And then all the hits. Yeah.
Nah, they just came out and go. We're playing the new album
start to finish. Yeah.
If you don't like it, see you later.
Yeah, this is what's happening. It was so good.
They literally had like a 3
minute break and then they came out and played like about
probably 8 or 10 more songs like all all the all the big hits.
You know what Prince should have done?
Like, here's us going on again about.
Here we go, He. Couldn't and should have done or
whatever, but, you know, like the main concert, like sure, do
all the hits and and all that. But you know, he did the after
shows. Yeah, the shows were, you know,
OK. There was some like obscure
songs, but there was also like covers was like that was mainly
like an after show, but like imagine like an after show where
he just picked an album just like start to finish.
That would have been awesome. Oh my God that is unbelievable.
Yeah or he wouldn't even have to be the whole album.
He could still do just his random songs that he thought of
but literally do like 5 songs off the new album instead of the
one that he did during the main. Show.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
And, like, reward the hardcore people, Yeah, who lined up for
hours after the show and paid like, $100 to get in with, you
know, something good. Yeah, not that the after shows
weren't good. Yeah, anyway.
Oh God, that would have been great.
Yeah. Anyway, show was great.
It was great. Now you were.
What can I say? I think you messaged me saying
like you were positioned right near the mixing desk, is that
right? You weren't up the front, you
were just. When I first got there, I was
when I first got there this Well, I got there like halfway
through the support act and they were fine.
Mountain. No, they were called Howling
Mountain. I thought you were going to say
such a great name for a band. Mountain Dew.
Howling Mountain Dew and Oh yeah, it sounded good OK, but
you want to be close up because this was not a big venue, right?
So I literally ended up like 3 people from from the stage.
Oh nice. And I had my earplugs in yeah
which, oh this let's let's say Barwon Heads hotel.
What what a place they they gave me free earplugs.
I asked for them, but they they just, they just handed them to
me. OK, Because when I got up to the
the guy to get in, I was think because I know I had some in the
car, which I've I've used before and I just keep using them.
And then I'm like, oh, I just remember I left my headphones
and like my earplugs in the car. And he's like, oh, don't worry,
just go to the bar and ask him. I'll give you some.
OK, They did. Beautiful.
Wow, you know it's. When I asked them I was just
when they went to hand him, I was just waiting for like 5
bucks. 5 bucks please, nothing beautiful free probably.
That was great. Yeah.
And then when and then when I was leaving, they just had like
a table full of like 600 mil bottles of water.
They're like, you want a water? I'm like, sure I want a water.
Why not? What a place.
Yeah. If you're ever down this way,
just go there. I don't care what's going on.
Yeah, they're just they're just a good place.
I don't, I don't promote places, but everything was just good.
Shout out to them. But yeah, it was just good.
Great. Now over to you.
What's good? OK, what's good this week?
Now, you might have heard. And I just when I heard this
news, I was thinking, surely this is fake news.
And it was the announcement of Spaceballs 2.
And I'm thinking, hang on. Yeah, Mel Brooks.
Isn't Mel Brooks in his 90s? He's 98.
I think he's turning 99 the day after my birthday, the 28th of
June. OK, Yeah.
And it's, I just, I just saw a 22nd clip of him and he's like,
you know, we, we asked the fans what they wanted and they all
said the same thing. Yeah, more Spaceballs, right?
That's what we're doing. And it's like, wow.
Yeah, and like, not only that, it's like, I keep reading this
article and they're like Rick Moranis, and it's like, hang on,
this guy's like a recluse now. Like he is, you know, 'cause I
think, didn't the wife die and then he left Hollywood and he's
never been seen again and all this sort of stuff.
Do you? Remember like a few years ago he
was walking the streets of New York and some guy just randomly
punched? I remember that story, that was
insane. No, but.
It's like the poor guy. Yeah, I know.
And you know, that the guy who was just going around punching
people, he didn't know who he was.
It wasn't like a targeted thing. He was just punching people,
right? But like, of all the people,
like this guy who was, like, tried so hard to get away from
the public eye, right? And then he makes, like,
worldwide news for getting punched by a random idiot.
It was insane. Didn't they try to get him up,
you know, out of retirement for all those Ghostbuster remakes?
I think they did and he said no. Think so?
And he said no. Yeah.
And so like when they said he's coming back for this, it's like,
surely this is fake news. You got, you know, Mel Brooks
and Rick Moranis and, you know, all the other people and stuff.
And it's just like, I just, I had to read the story about
three times. So I I think it is real.
I can just imagine Mel saying to Rick, look, look at me, I don't
have much time left, just do this one thing for me.
Come on, forget all the other stuff.
Forget all the Ghostbusters. This is what you need to do.
Right. Do it from.
Do it for your old, your old friend Mel.
Well, it's, it's legendary. If it if it comes to fruition,
it'd be this is gonna be really epic.
Didn't he just do something like he did like a big six part thing
just like a year or two ago? Oh, was it like the History of
the world Part 2 or something? That sounds familiar, but.
It was like a massive, like epic thing.
I haven't watched it yet. I just haven't got to it.
But right, holy moly. It's like, how is he still
going? Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but I mean. Crazy nice baseball's too.
I mean, we saw Coming to America too.
We've seen a few sort of comeback sequel things like
this, so. This is the next thing you.
Can't have I hopes, but I mean, it's Mel Brooks, so I don't
know, right? But also too, you know, what
platform is it gonna be? Is it gonna be like a movie in
cinemas or is it gonna be straight to streaming?
It'll be something streaming and that means you'll have to have
the right thing, but then everyone's just gonna pirate it
anyway so it doesn't really matter.
No, Well, it matters to me in the sense of like, if it's like
a full on movie, like it it, they'll probably take it more
seriously. If it's just streaming, you
know, it's gonna be like garbage.
It's gonna be like, OK, this is like one of those write off
things. But just looking at how risk
averse, yeah, movies, yeah, companies are over there, are
they really gonna say to like, you know, it's all run by bloody
30 year olds now. They don't know who Mel Brooks
is. They don't know space balls,
They don't know anything. Well, I they're just gonna have
this 98 year old guy turn up and go.
Hey, let me do a movie and I'll be like, what are you talking
about, old man who? Are you?
I read a story about how all these studios in Hollywood are
closing cause like there's no productions happening and now
because they've got these empty studios sitting there empty,
they're now leasing them out to like social media influences.
So I did see that, yeah. So now they use the full on
movie facilities for their own YouTube platforms and things
now. So it's that's what the world's
becoming. That's the world now.
Yeah, exactly. Anyway.
Holy moly, Space Force 2. That's good this week.
So you know what's good this week?
Well, I think this was maybe 2 weeks ago but I somehow totally
missed it. There is a new Doobie Brothers
album. Yes, I've got.
And Michael McDonald is back. Yeah, I got this down because I
saw it and I thought, oh, I'll, I'll listen to this.
I haven't listened to it from front to end.
I've like skipped through it. But I listen to that maybe the.
Staples. Yes, exactly.
Wow, and she sounds good. She's like like 80, isn't she?
She still sounds great. Yeah, she sounds great, but also
too it's you've listened to the whole album.
Oh, I listen to it, but I haven't.
I didn't see that with headphones and listen to every
second. I just had it on when I was
doing stuff. So I haven't had a good listen.
But it's just so good to hear Michael McDonald's voice again,
yeah. But like the first few songs,
like getting into it, it's like, you know, because like they had
this like unofficial genre of yacht rock, like the yacht rock
sound. But to me it sounds more like
like more like a Travelling Wilburys album or something like
that. Like more sort of a bit
countrified. Yeah, it is.
It's not so much yacht rock and
it's a bit more something else. Yeah, exactly.
I mean, it's not bad. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
I'm just like, I was expecting something a bit like I wasn't
expecting that kind of thing. It's like, oh, OK, they.
Got this. I was because I literally have
now, I think listened to all The Doobie Brothers albums, right?
And you think it's a natural progression?
Yeah, it's pretty much. It's not any different from what
the last few albums were, except you can tell Michael McDonald's
there. His voice is there, and he's,
you know, doing songwriting as well.
Right. And I just realized the last
track, Lahaina, features Nick Fleetwood, Henry Kapono and Jake
Shimabukuro. Now, Jake Shimabukuro, if anyone
doesn't know, I saw him with Tommy Emanuel at the Angel Place
Recital Hall. Your favorite venue.
Yeah. Yeah.
But yeah, he came out and played with Tommy Emmanuel because he's
an amazing, like, guitarist. Hmm.
So I need to listen. I heard that song but I need to
listen to that again now that knowing that he's on it.
Yeah, I need to have it. I need to sit with it more.
Oh yeah, I need to get the headphones on him.
Yeah, walk around Westfield. That's what I need to do.
Yeah, that's the way to do. It so new Doobie Brothers album.
There you go. 2025. Yeah.
Who saw that in the in the bingo card?
Holy moly. Exactly.
I think that's all I got for what's good.
And the other thing I've got for what's good is Lenny Kravitz is
coming back to Australia and to yes, yes, so.
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Mildura.
Sure. He's doing Newcastle, Mildura
and I think is the Grand Prix in SA because I think Adelaide,
yeah, yeah, I think the Grand Prix, those tickets are like 99
bucks and it's like, OK, he's not going to do a full on show.
That's why the tickets are cheaper.
What is it? It's around like October,
November. November yeah, but I think he's
last tour, I think he he cancelled because he was sick or
something. So like, oh, he hasn't been here
for a while. So I think this is the makeup
tour. So, but I saw, I saw on YouTube
about a month ago, like at wherever he's like currently
touring somewhere in Europe and I had the full show on and I
watched it. It was, it was good.
It was really good. Would you pay 100 bucks to go
and see it? If it was $100, yes, but it's
not $100. They're almost like 3 to $500
the tickets. OK, well that rules me out then.
Yeah, I saw the tickets and it's like no.
And there's and also too, it said something about it was some
disclaimer about how like due to fluctuating demand, you know,
ticket prices made. It's that dynamic price garbage,
yeah, but. They would it in some fancy way
and it's like, oh, OK, so you're going to just like up the price
if it's popular and if it's struggling, you're going to make
it cheaper. OK, we get it.
Yeah, so. And then they wonder why people
don't want to be buying tickets so far in advance these days
when you know you're better off just waiting till the day of the
show. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. And that also means if the
ticket sells so badly, half the time the shows just get
cancelled anyway. Yeah, you know, everyone loses.
Yeah, well, also, too, like, 'cause my work's connected to
the kind of that kind of concert industry.
I think they get like, tickets to certain shows, and I would
kick myself if I dropped like 3 to $500 on a ticket.
And then, you know, 'cause Oh. Yeah, we've got some tickets.
Tickets, yeah. And.
And I'd be like, fuck, you know, so I'm not gonna yeah, I'm gonna
wait. I'm not gonna drop my money.
Wait. Till about 3 days before.
Yeah, exactly. Because yeah, I mean love Lenny,
but like. These prices are just.
Ridiculous. No, neither.
Why? Funnily enough, and I've always
wanted to so. Well if I'm back in Sydney then
you get you get 2 tickets from work.
Let's go. Well, yeah, that's if they,
because they've got Metallica tickets as well and everybody's
trying to vie for those and it's really hard to to get.
So anyway, see how we go. Well.
I actually, I do have one more thing which is related to this.
And today I watched Green Day, like Green Day played in Sydney
and Melbourne, like I think at the start of March, yes, big
shows. It was like the 20th anniversary
of American Idiot. It was the 30th anniversary of
Dookie, like pretty much their two biggest albums, and they
played them both in full, plus more hits.
They played like 2 1/2 hour shows.
OK, but again, the prices were just out of my range.
Yeah, that I wanted to pay. So today I watched Green Day
live at the Isle of Wight Festival, 2024 Isle of Five.
It was 2 hour show. Pro shot or like from someone's
camera? Pro shot, pro shot, perfect
sound. Wow.
I think the last time I saw them was the American Idiot Tour,
which was in like 2005, and that was at the CGI mean they cannot
be a bigger venue, right. Except for like the stadiums
now. Yeah.
Like they're just too big now. They are.
And just like comedy shows. I don't want to go to, like
these massive venues. Yeah, exactly.
And and still pay insane money. Yes.
Exactly, Yeah. Like if you're cramming 50,000
people in instead of 4000. Yeah, but you think by scale the
ticket prices would be less. But no, they're even higher.
No, that's where we are now. This is where how they gaslight
you, they say, oh, it doesn't matter if you're in the back row
and it's the experience that you're paying for.
Yeah. Bullshit.
Absolute bullshit. Well, I mean it's true to a
degree. Like the experience is shit
like. If I want to, if I want to sit
at a show friggin 500 metres from the stage and watch the
screens, I'll just do that at home.
Thanks for nothing. I'll watch a pro SHOT Show like
I just did with Green Day for zero money.
Right, exactly. Oh my goodness.
You're paying for the experience.
Yeah, I have a much better experience at home in my
comfortable lounge with my big TV and the big sound.
I can pause it, I can go to the bathroom, I can eat food.
I can do whatever I want. I don't have to pay $18.00 for a
drink. It's beautiful.
Is that the experience they're trying to sell you?
You can have an $18.00 drink and a $25 meat pie.
Yeah. What a what a great day anyway.
Oh my, that's. What's good?
That's what's good this way. That's what's good.
But yeah, I did this. Remember I did this a while ago.
I watched a Stevie Wonder show. Yes, I watched.
I watched some. I watched.
I watched Guns and Roses not that long ago.
That's right. Yeah.
That was great. That was a great show.
That was in Japan. Yeah, and it was, it was just
filmed from like audience camera.
But you know, you can get those IEM like hearing assisted
things. So they grab full soundboard
sound off that, record that, and then put that to their video and
it's just the perfect mix and like, oh, amazing stuff.
That's great. Matrix.
That's what they are. Yeah, Matrix.
Beautiful stuff. Anyway, one more good thing.
I saw the trailer, which I didn't want to see, but I I saw
a tiny bit of it. A Squid Game Season 3 is coming
on my birthday. I thought you were That's gonna.
You're avoiding the trailers for the.
Spoilers, I didn't know it started and straight away I'm
just like no, no, no, get out, get out.
I don't want to. I hate it.
OK, I hate that. But that's coming June 27th.
So if anyone wants to see season 3, it's coming.
I think it's Netflix. Yeah, that's gonna be good.
Good. Now it's time for.
Well, it's bad this week. Well, I told you it was cold
here in the mornings, right? I think yesterday morning was
about 3° and I felt like 1. Blue balls.
And this was like at 8:00 AM. Yep.
And then this morning, I go out to the car, it's about 8:30.
It's literally 1°C, feels like -2.4.
So I start, I go and boil the water, and then I've got to mix
that with cold water so I don't crack the goddamn windows.
The water, Yeah, you got to cook the water.
Yeah. Cook the kettle.
And so I got all the water ready to clean all the ice off front
and back windows so I can see where the hell I'm going, Right.
And I did that amazingly. This is not the bad thing.
I didn't crack any glass or anything.
I did the right temperature, just enough to melt the ice.
Yeah. Started the car, got the heater
going. Yeah, that's good.
Then I did the stupid thing. I put down my window.
Now it's power windows and obviously it was all frozen and
it just when it went down, it just made the most awful sound.
It was obviously frozen and I just killed it.
Oh, I, I just busted the whole thing.
So I'm like, I cannot drive around in zero degrees 1°.
Yeah, I I managed to get it back up.
I had to like, that's what she said, yeah.
It was really hard. That's what she said, she said.
Got it back up right. Yes.
It took a lot of effort. Right.
It took both my hands. It's.
There's tablets for that, you know it.
Took both hands as hard as I could press it.
I finally got it all the way back up and then pushing the
pushing the up button and then it finally stayed up.
It slipped down a little bit and then I pushed it back up right
and it's up. So I just cannot touch it now
because it's it's busted. And if it, if I, if I put it
down again, I don't know if I it'll go back up.
This is sounds like the Griswold car, yeah.
I just, I mean, it's a 2009 car, right?
And as far as I know, there's never been an issue with the
windows. So it was bound to happen sooner
or later. The one on the left, the front
window is, is also getting a bit crackly, just like when when
you're putting it back up like the last like inch or two, it
goes really slowly. OK, I feel that's gonna die
eventually soon as well. So I mean I busted the power
window because it was frozen. So, so is it completely cactus
or is it are you just going to wait till the where the I think
so. Well I'm sure it's due for a
service. It's got 180 K service due like
now so I'm going to book it in in the next like week or two.
Did they check that part of it? Well, I'll tell them to.
OK. Like people who live in freezing
places, they're probably like, oh, you idiot, of course you
don't do that. You don't put the windows down
when it's frozen, right? But we don't get this damn cold.
It's not normal. We don't know these things.
Yeah, you're not thinking. Like, I know some things like I
didn't crack the windows by pouring boiling water on them,
right, right. But I didn't know you can't put
the goddamn window down. Yeah, because the mechanism was
frozen. Jesus.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
So yeah, that's that's one bad thing.
And the other thing, Star Trek, Strange New Worlds, we've seen
two seasons. The third season is already
done. That's coming out I think at the
end of June. Why is this bad?
Pretty. Yeah.
Well, I'm getting to that. Season 4 has already started
production. They've already started filming
that. And then the same day that they
announced the premiere of Season 3, which I think is like June 20
something, they also announced Season 5 will be the final
season. Oh.
So no more. So I mean, you look back at Star
Trek Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space 9, seven seasons, the
lot of them. And then ever since Enterprise
in why is it 2001, it started, they got Four Seasons and Evers
and then Discovery got 5, Prodigy got 2, Lower Decks got
5. So it seems like 5 now is the
maximum they they're going to do because they've said 5's the
last and these are only 10 episode seasons, but they said
season 5. That's only going to be 6
episodes, so they've even truncated that.
It's like, and it's, it's nothing to do, from what I've
read, it's nothing to do with Star Trek or the quality of the
show or the ratings. It's just these bigwig, you
know, Paramount, whoever's counting the money.
Yeah, you know they don't give a crap.
Yeah, of course they. Don't they just don't want to
spend money on stuff that they don't care about?
Yeah, so that's why it's bad, that is.
But we've still got two more 10 episode seasons and then a six
episode for the final. So still got 26 more episodes,
which is ironically 1 full season of the old Star Trek.
Very good. So that's that's what's bad.
Oh, the one more thing I just saw Billy Joel cancelled a tour.
Yes, because he was diagnosed with a brain disorder.
I don't know any more details about that.
I just saw a headline. That's not good.
No, that's not good. There is so much going on with
things like that, but that's all I got for Donald Trump.
Whatever. He did some stupid things, he
said some stupid things, World War three, blah blah blah.
What's name next, right? Didn't get his Nobel Peace Prize
next. That's what he wants he's
itching for. It Here we go.
What about you? What?
What's bad this week? Let me look down my list here.
DeMarcus Cousins, No. No idea.
Petra Barbagallo. No, no idea.
Chris. Brown.
No. Well, I know the name but no
idea. Here it is this big Air India
flight that did the big crash. Oh, with one survivor.
OK, this is where I wanna go with this.
Oh, how the hell? How the hell did that guy
survive? Like they're talking about he
was sitting next to the exit, the plane crash, he got out and
like, you look at the footy like the plane's like gliding down
and there's this massive explosion and it's like, at what
point did he get out? Because the plane's flying?
Did he jump out mid flight before it exploded?
And if not, the plane exploded. So how did he get out without
barely a scratch on him? I'm trying to figure this out
because I can't wrap my head around how that guy like, OK,
it's great. Like if this is all true and he
survived it, I'm really happy for him.
But it's like, how the hell did he survive that?
Because, you know, they say that if you're ever gonna actually
like that, the best part is to be at the back of the plane.
And those people didn't survive. So how the hell did he just walk
away with barely a scratch? I just.
I can't fathom. It is.
It's very strange. It's very strange.
It is very strange. But yeah, I mean, it's a bad
thing. I think it was like the
electrical systems or something, something.
Well, I guess it's still doing their investigations, but
apparently, like, the electrical thing was going haywire before
takeoff and then it took off and then it just wouldn't stay in
the air. Yeah, I saw that this one guy
survived. Then it was just like, I didn't
think about it, 'cause I just, I don't think about stuff like
that, right? But yeah, now that you say it,
it's like, yeah, how, how the hell, how is that even possible?
Yeah. Did he like jump out the the
second it hit the ground and like a millisecond before it
exploded, like the tail ripped off and he just saw a gap and he
just jumped like is who's even thinking like that?
Yes, exactly. Yeah.
It's like, it's pretty insane. Yeah.
Has he even said anything? Like what happened?
Yeah, I've seen like he's done interviews and things on like,
Indian television. But no details.
Well, oh, I just walked away. Pretty much like that was like,
you know, I saw a like an opportunity to leave and I did
kind of thing while everybody around me was dying.
And it's like, OK, I just think it's really weird.
I just want to wrap around my head how he actually like I like
to you know how when they do those fancy like animations and
graphics of like, I want to see something like how the hell yeah
actually happened because show. Me a cartoon of what he actually
did right exactly? Because it sounds like he was
just walking past the airport, saw the crash and just ran.
Well, that's like near the plane.
And then he's like, I survived. I survived.
Well, that's the. Thing like apparently he had a
ticket like he was on the apparently on the flight.
Did he make his flight? Like who knows because I I can't
figure out how the hell he walked away very strangely.
So that's what's bad this week. That's what's bad this week.
That's it, that's it. See, now it's time for What's
all that about? What's all that about?
I haven't done this one for a
while but when I was in in the city about a few weeks ago I
sent you a picture of all these Ding a lings queuing up for
something. Was it the McDonald's chicken
wings? Oh.
No, no, this was something else. This Yeah, that was that was
another queue of people who just couldn't wait till tomorrow to
eat chicken wings. But but it's a permanent menu
item and they're lining up for. It exactly.
Yeah. But I sent you a picture.
I was walking around Melbourne Central and, you know, they've
got all those shops just selling just dumb crap, just like toys
and stuff. And that was hilarious because I
was walking past them. I sent you the photo.
I had no idea what they were queuing for.
And here's my guess at the demographics.
It would have been about 89% Asian, mostly male.
And then the rest, there would have been a few white people, a
few Indian people, again mostly male.
And that was The Who was in this queue.
And then like that night or the next day, I started seeing these
news articles and it was the exact same queue.
But I walked past and took a photo because I recognised the
the people and the queue. And it was to buy this dumb la
Boo Boo right dumb little toy which.
Which was on my my list last week.
Yep. Oh, you just say it.
I don't know. I see.
Then I didn't have a clue what it was.
Yeah, I would have said no idea. Yes, you did, he said.
No idea. Yeah, la Boo Boo.
No, not a clue. But like, they come in like this
sealed bag, you don't even know which which one you're gonna
get, right? It's just total lottery.
Yes, you'll get one of them out of however many different ones
there are. It's like a Pokémon.
You don't know what you're gonna get.
Yeah, but you just line up and pay your ridiculous money.
Yeah, it's like. You don't even know what you're
getting. Yeah.
Wow. But also too, like you touched
on that, like it's men, like why you don't men into this sort of
stuff. It's odd what drives these guys.
My first guess is it's for reselling.
It's just like sneakers. Yeah.
It's not because they're gonna sit at home and stare at it,
right? Maybe, maybe the few girls that
were in that queue, they wanted to just have a cute little
thing. That's fine, but I.
Reckon a big number of these guys, they just, they just want
to get it and then it's straight on eBay or wherever they sell
all this stuff. Yeah.
Because I I don't see them just sitting at home staring at it,
right? Or doing other things while
they're staring at it. I don't even want to think about
it. I heard that they're taking out
insurance policies on these things when they put them on
their handbags because people are stealing them off handbags.
Yeah, makes sense. No, it doesn't make sense.
This is crazy anyway. But yeah, I just, I don't, I
don't get it. No, like I'm just trying to
think back to when we were teenagers and like, did this
sort of thing happen? Like I can't recall like any
sort of thing like this, but there has to be something.
Do you want to know something that's that's really crazy?
You know, here in Sydney, you know, obviously, you know, Pitt
St. Mall, Yeah.
You know, there was the Microsoft Store like it was like
they flagged. Oh yeah, yeah.
Kind of looks like an the Apple Store, but the Microsoft version
of it. Yeah, I walked past there last
week. It's all boarded up.
It's all closed, all boarded up. And it's like a two-story
building, right? Like it's high or like glass,
you know, and it's all boarded up with wood and all around it.
It says Pop Mart. They're turning it into one of
these. Oh my God.
Yeah, they're turning it into one of these things that sell
these little doll things. So, like, you imagine that like
Microsoft like doing so bad that they've had to move out in lieu
of these guys. Crazy stuff.
What did they even have in the Microsoft Store?
They just sold. What do they sell?
Phones. What do?
They sell, you know, computers, tablets, Xboxes.
Tablets and stuff, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And it was just like. Because I mean, they don't even
sell Windows on ACD anymore. It's a bloody it's all digital
now. Yeah, but it's also like a place
that if you had problems with your computer, you could take it
in and, you know, it's like the Genius Bar.
Like the Apple? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's the same concept, so.
Yeah. So yeah, that's what's all that
about. I just, I don't understand
what's happening. So now it's time for did anybody
die? So where do we even start?
Right? We had literally finished
recording like the night before. And then the next day I was just
about to start editing and then you send me a message.
Sly Stones died, right? So that night we got on, we
recorded the extra little thing, which you would have heard in
the last show. And it just reminded me so many
times. That used to happen with Prince.
We literally record a show and like the next morning we'd all
wake up and he'd drop some big bloody announcement and forces
to record again, Right. He knew when we were recording
somehow. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
Yes, he had a spy. So then also on the last show,
I, I said my thing about who is still alive and I said Brian
Wilson, right? The last picture they put up was
in April. He, he, he doesn't look great,
right? He's still alive, but you know,
he's got advanced dementia at this point.
And they, they've just got this like dead look in, in, in the
eyes. And I just, I just knew.
So then literally the next morning, I get so many messages
telling me Brian Wilson has died.
I mean, right, first we had Brian Wenzel.
The exact same thing happened there.
That's. Right.
Like, but the the literally the date the show came out, he died
and I just said he's still going, he's still alive.
And you know what's really eerie?
That they both they're all called Brian and they and their
surname starts with W. Oh my God, all I can say is our
Brian from the Four Corners. All I can say is he's going to
leave her for a very, very long time.
Yes, he is 100% guaranteed. You're certain?
I'd better not start with AW bro I'd be.
I'd be sleeping one night. I'd be getting some life
insurance policies, yeah. Exactly.
It's. Crazy.
So yes, very sadly, legend legendary Beach Boys founder
Ryan Wilson passed away. And also 82.
Exactly the same as sliced on. Stone.
Yeah. Who?
Who died like just days earlier? Yeah, it's crazy.
Very crazy. Yeah, I, I knew like I, I, I've
seen him once. Yeah.
I think it was 2012. They did a 50 tieth anniversary
of The Beach Boys starting or whatever.
Brian, I don't think Brian at that point had toured with them
for like at least 10 years because him and Mike Love do not
get on very well. And it's funny.
We talk about, you know, the Prince fandom and like the
people in The Beach Boys fandom, so many people hate Mike Love
and they love Brian. That's right.
It's so funny. But yeah, so I saw him.
I saw him do that one great show.
And it was a long show. It was like like it was over
2-2, maybe 2 1/2 hours. They literally did like 50
songs. Wow.
I might have been under the influence of a a psychedelic
something or other which made it so much better.
And I do not regret it at all, because it just made that night
so much more like vivid in my memory than it would have been
if I hadn't done that. Well, you see, you've, you've
talked about concerts where you've gone on Facebook and
memories and it's like, I don't even remember attending this
show. Exactly, so I think I found the
answer I need to be on acid. It's the only answer because
I've got great memories of that show.
That's. Good.
And I was sky high. I just remember.
Oh my God, my eyeballs would have been freaking dinner
plates. I just remember when heroes and
villains started, I just turned to whoever was next to me.
I'm like, how good is this? And they were like, probably
scared. And I was just like, this is so
freaking great. Oh my God.
Ohh. See.
And and then, yeah, like you said, other constants come up on
Facebook memories that I don't ever remember being there.
But this show I remember. Oh my God.
That's good. So Brian Wilson.
Ohhh. Yeah.
You have a knack of this. You can't be doing this who's
still a live segment. Well, because you, you have an
uncanny knack for this. Well, this is like a premonition
or this isn't the first time. I know it's not the first time.
That's what's not. Kiss me about this.
I I was actually gonna say this. I think we need to retire.
Who is still alive. It's too.
It's just too dangerous. This it is.
This power is not. It's too dangerous.
It is. I think Brian Wilson was the
fine straw. All I can say is Queen guitarist
Brian May. I hope you live a a long and
healthy life. Stevie Bryant, a lot of them,
yeah. Just Brian's who?
Who else is Brian right I can only think of.
Brian mate, Well, Brian mate like he's surname doesn't start
with the W so. Oh.
Still, I don't. I don't trust it.
I don't trust it but. If you flip the mate, the M in
M. Flip the M upside down.
It's AW. So no.
I think that'll be the last time we'll hear about who is still
alive. Another retired segment.
OK, another one. Anyone, well, any, anyone who
pays attention to the credits of TV shows like me, whoever
watched The Simpsons will know the name Alf Clausen.
He was the composer for all that music from seasons 2 through to
28. Never hang all those strings,
all that music he directed, all that stuff.
How many seasons in total is there of The Simpsons?
Now I think they're about 3536 maybe.
OK, I heard a story something a long time, not a long time ago,
maybe even the last year where he was suing.
Was he suing The Simpsons because they got rid of him
because AI had all the OR something?
Oh yeah, I did. Is that a?
Is that a true story? Partly, right.
I, I didn't read all the details, but there was, yeah,
some issue with 'cause he, he left in 2017.
He left, he was there, they got rid.
Of him, well, that's unclear, right?
That's probably under NNDAS. OK.
Yeah, but yeah, there was some issue with payments coming or
not coming. There you go.
But yeah, he was there from 1990 to 2017, right?
He was 84 when he died. Like, I always watched every
name in the credits when I was a kid.
And I always saw Alf Clausen. Music by Alf Clausen.
There you go. So that's that's not great.
What about you, anybody? Yes, and then the Lewis now she
was the MTVVJ that well she was on the rave DVD.
She was around the rave era when.
Allegedly dating Prince around that.
Time, yeah. 2002 thousand one or something on.
It 1999 two thousand yeah, when yeah, the relationship, my
situation was quite murky around that time.
Yes, very, very. It seemed like Mai Tai was sort
of gone, but then Manuela would may may have been around.
So yeah. Yeah, she was there, Yeah.
And then, yeah, I think he was. He was a busy boy around this
time. And.
Oh. Well, he he had to get some use
out of that blue latex jumpsuit. Didn't he?
He needed someone to zip it up at the back.
Yeah. So yeah, he needed some help
getting out of it. He couldn't do it by himself.
Yeah, but Anna Lewis, she. She was only 50.
Two, yeah, she was very young and it was breast cancer, but I
always liked her. She was really good.
Like I just liked her, her vibe and her demeanour and just the
way she carried herself. Now I really liked her.
It was sad to see her 'cause she's only like a couple of
years older than me. It's quite shocking.
Yeah, 52. Wow.
So. So that was did anybody die?
Hi. Anniversaries in 2000 and 1015.
Years ago, Gary Coleman died. That's been 42.
Jeez, 15 years. Yeah.
Did you say 10 or 1515? It was 2000.
And. Ten.
Oh God. That's the 10.
Do you remember that story? He, like, had a seizure.
Yeah. And then he fell down the stairs
and bashed his head. And then he got like a brain
hemorrhage from like bashing his head.
Supposedly. Allegedly.
And then he died from that. And then he was on like life
support. And then I think go going
against his wishes. Whoever his partner was at the
time, she was like, no, no, turn him off.
Turn him off. Yeah, Yeah, exactly.
So yeah, there was yeah. And the family were like, what's
going on here? Because the police ruled it all
is nothing suspicious. Like, it wasn't much that they
could do. So it was really again, just
messy, so messy. Yeah, it was alleged that the
wife, like, pushed him down the stairs.
But her story was, oh, he had a seizure at the top of the stairs
and he fell down. And it was like, well, what side
of the story is true? And you know, no one, no one can
sort of. You know, it's all hearsay,
really. So how are you supposed to know?
God, I need to go and watch some different.
Strokes, what a show. It's a good show.
What a show. So also another good show was
The Golden Girls and also in 2010 Rue McClanahan, who was
Blanche. Wow. 15 years ago, died at 76,
I. Can't believe it all this is 15
years. And she also had a, according to
the death certificate, a brain. Hemorrhage at the top of the
stage, but that was. Caused by a massive stroke, but
oh, God, Golden Girls was such a good show as well.
Yeah, good show. So now it's time for
recommendations. I need a recommendation.
Do you have a recommendation? What's your recommendation?
Recommendations. OK, I think I already sent you
this song. It's called Universe by Daesung.
DAESUNG. The universe.
Got it. There we go.
He's one of the members of Big Bang.
But this is a solo song. It's just a good song.
And he or he can sing and his big key change near the end,
which is always great. Wow.
It's, yeah, it's it's a good song.
All right, so there's that one. And there's a song by Super
Jesus called Gangbusters off their new album.
Out of the 10 tracks on that album, this is the funky one.
Yeah. It's got some funky guitar stuff
in it. And it's it's just good.
And obviously Brian Wilson, Heroes and Villains on that.
It's one of my favorite songs. Listen to it on acid, yeah.
Yeah, if you really want to get the full effect, listen to
Heroes and Villains by Brian Wilson.
That if you want, you can listen to the whole Smile album from
2004 because it's just amazing. You gotta listen to any Beach
Boys. They're all good.
But if you want Brian Wilson's solo album, I'd say Smile or
that lucky old song. That's also a good album.
And the last recommendation I've got, it's by it's a podcast
actually, and it's called, what is it the the Peach and Black
podcast. They did a a Batman review and
there's like a remastered version of of a very old of a
very old podcast from 2010, I think.
No, no, it'll be 2009. OK.
And you know, there's only so much you can do with the 2009
Skype call, but it's it's listenable, right?
It's a lot better than it used to be.
I'll say that much. So, yeah, have a listen to that.
It's on. It's on.
It's in all the places, Spotify, whatever.
Yeah. And that's all I got.
That's all You got recommendations?
What have I got? I have got Brian Coupleson and
Marcus Miller and Sheila E. The song is called on the.
Road I. Cannot bring it up.
That just reminds me of The Doobie Brothers new album.
It's called Walk This Road and the the single is called Walk
This Road, featuring Mavis Staples.
So on the road, I'm going to add that to the playlist.
Your next one is by Maya. She has a track out and it's
very 80s sounding. Maya the the twins No.
No, no. Maya and Nandy.
That's the only Maya Reina. The track is called Give It to
You, so we're going to give it to you in the playlist.
Added Now Winfrey has a new track out called It's Serious.
That's like a West Coast sounding song.
Why so serious? Yeah.
So that was recommendations. Yo, so now it's time for emails,
yeah? Plus.
E-mail. Oh, emails.
We've got an e-mail. This is from Rowan, He says Hi,
captain and player. Hey Rowan, I'll break up this
e-mail into three parts. First part, theme songs.
After listening to all of the theme songs, the best one is the
one you already have. No further comments needed
there. OK, so that's that's that's
already decided that the music's not changing.
That's yeah. Which is what I guessed on about
the third track. You're right, it was worth doing
that well. It was good fun.
Second part musicals. After listening to Captain
discuss his love of Les Mis, I completely resonated with the
feeling of having just one musical that you love, having
seen a bunch of others and not really considering yourself as a
musical person. Overall.
I have this feeling with Hamilton the Musical, having
seen it in person three times, once in Melbourne and twice in
London, having listened to the cast recordings a bunch of times
and watched the filmed recording of the performance countless
times. I've seen musical since and
they're fine, but didn't really connect with me like Hamilton
did, and I wonder if anyone else out there, potentially in the
four corners of the globe, have the same experience.
Interesting. Well, I want to go and see
Hamilton. I've I've never had the
opportunity to because when it first started to show in Sydney,
like you couldn't get tickets. Oh, it was booked out forever.
The yeah, ticket prices were inside and.
Then I think that was like pre COVID and then I think it went
into COVID and then the production disappeared and then
it came back. But then I don't know.
But I never got around to it. It wasn't like to see that long
ago. I like to see it after they
finished here. I don't know where they went or
they might have just stopped, I don't know.
OK, the third part. Analysis of Super Chucker Mania
playlist? I wanted to do an analysis of
the Super Chuckle Mania Spotify playlist and see if there were
any interesting statistics to be gained from the playlist with
the help of ChatGPT, something it seems it can actually do, and
pass them along to see if it's of any interest.
Oh, I'd like to know what the prompt is.
At the time of writing, there were 329 songs in the playlist.
Wow, that's a lot. As the information comes from
Spotify, I can't guarantee that all the data for a decade
especially is valid, as, for example, the INXS song was
included with the release date of 2021 as it was a demo that
wasn't released until then, but it's good enough.
OK, so there's a bunch of these graphs here.
So genres, the top 10 most common genres #1K pop, like more
than double anything. Yeah.
Second. OK, I'll tell you numbers.
This is on a scale from zero to 70.
So K pop is like 72. And then we have jazz funk,
that's like 33, right? And then we've got G funk at 30.
Yep. And then we've got funk at about
27 and funk rock 19. Jam band about 18 new disco 12
West Coast hip hop 12 old school hip hop 11, hip hop 11.
So that's a 10. There's AK pop kills everything
and then all the rest is yours. Yeah.
So 10 most common artists. Now this is this is totally
skewed because K pop it's it's always a different artist.
So you have recommended lettuce like 17 times?
You know, I don't believe that. Yeah, I'm not saying it's not
true. I remember like 3.
Yeah, same. I I might have like my
recollection about 3. Times you might have said like 2
songs at one time or something, I don't know, maybe.
But then yeah, that, that kills. Everything the figures but I'm
just doubting my own self I guess.
Then we got Harry Styles at 13. OK.
So yeah, I don't know if that's right.
Because you know why? I'll tell you why.
Because I think you that time that you listened to that album,
you recommended the whole album. So I think I put the whole
album. In Oh my God.
OK, that's. Why?
That's why there's 13 tracks. Yeah, OK.
Not you might have. Recommended a whole album for
Lettuce, same thing. Maybe you could?
Have had one album and then like yeah, three other songs done
right. Then we got Sugar Free at 5
twice at 5:00. Yeah, that sounds right.
The weekend at 4 Chromeo 4, Diamond Ortiz 4, Mamamoo 4,
Anderson Park 4, Joby 4 there. You go.
OK, so there's that then we've got.
This is interesting stats. This is like the Peach and Black
podcast. Of songs by decade.
So by far in the twenty 20s where like 250 tracks, yeah.
When I pick the songs, I try and pick like the things that have
come out within the last. Week you pick new stuff, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you pick the older stuff.
Like yeah, that ones like way up to 250 and all the rest are
around like 20 to 30. Like yeah, 2010's got about 20
songs. The 2000s got about ten. 1990s
got about twenty. 1980s got about fifteen, 1970s got about
three 1960s got like one or two. Yeah, 2020, the 2020 decade,
250, that was a big one because yeah, mostly new stuff, even the
K pops, mostly new stuff. Yeah, explicit versus non
explicit songs according to Spotify, explicit 9.4%, not
explicit 90.60. Well, that just proves that
we're recommending clean stuff. We are good, clean boys.
Right. That's what we're not sending
out these these naughty words right now.
This was an interesting one. Distribution of songs by Musical
Key. At like what's what's at like
most popular key? At like 48 songs F, there's 48
songs that were in F and that's like way ahead.
It's just a pop. You'd think it would be C
because everyone just starts playing piano in C.
C. Yeah.
But no, F that's really interesting.
And then sort of tied, you've got no.
So that was about 48. And then at like 36 you've got a
tie between A and like C#, which is again interesting.
But then, but then like, I won't go through all of these, you
know, there's however many but down with only like 2 or
probably 3E flat. Yeah, and it is and makes sense.
Yeah, it does, yeah. 'Cause when you go to play a
piano, that's probably the last one you're gonna start on.
It just. Is it just.
Is yeah, yeah. It's just a fact, yeah.
And the second lowest is a flat G# also, yeah, like the least
the the the two least ones you would ever think.
I'm gonna start here, start a song.
This is the this is the main thing for this song.
No, that's interesting. And then we got major versus
minor key songs. Major 60.5, minor 39.5.
Yeah. I mean pretty much all the K
pops gonna be major. Exactly.
Mostly it's all just happy rubbish.
Yeah. Oh, there's one more song length
and yeah, obviously 22 to 3:00. Minutes.
Yeah, they start, most of them go from 2:40 to about 4:30 with
the most common 320. And that's just K pop.
Every K pop song is between like 3 minutes and 3:30.
Yeah. Because that's just, that's just
what they do. And that is exactly what the
numbers say. Like 250 to 340 are the highest
ones. Yeah, there was one song at
7:20. What's that?
Hey Jude? That's like 720.
OK, that was something like that.
Well, didn't, didn't Hey Jude have at the time?
It was like the longest single ever released or something.
Yeah. I I.
I remember hearing that it is quite long.
That's what she said. So that's that's that.
So that's, that's the e-mail from Rowan.
Holy moly. Thank you, Rowan.
Thank you for the analysis. There's your stats.
Yeah. It doesn't get any better than
that. So that.
That's the e-mail. Thank you, Rowan.
Thank you. So what did we learn this week?
I learned. I need to stop saying you know
who's still alive. Yes, because it usually doesn't
end well. Well, not usually, but 2 is more
than enough. 2 Brians. I'm not pushing that.
One more. No thank you.
Don't. Push the luck.
We'll just let's just stick to those that actually have passed
away. Did anybody die?
If anyone's still alive, well, we don't need to know.
Yeah. Oh, my God.
That's what I learned. I'm just, I'm just gonna that
that that segment is officially retired.
Yeah. Good.
It's too scary because you have an uncanny knack for that.
And you know what? Do you know what?
And it wasn't just those two that those.
Were the things that. Were right immediately after I
said it like it literally happened within a day.
But there was also Bob Newhart. There was Bob Newhart, yeah.
And there was Jimmy Carter. Both of those we said they've
got that look in their eyes. They've got that look in their
face and I I reckon both of them it was only a few weeks maybe a
month later. So yeah, it's not we can't keep
doing this predicting. No, no, it's not good.
It's it's what's it called? Like Deadpool or something?
Is that what they Is that what it?
Is there's a name for it? OK.
I think so. It's a it's a morbid game to
play, especially when you win, because when you win, nobody
wins. Right, that's one gambling it's.
Like the end? What about you?
What did you learn well? I learned that there's a there's
a new Doobie Brothers album. And yes, I learned that this
road, if you're gonna sit on a plane, sit near the exit and not
near the back if you want a chance to survive.
We'll sit near the back exit. Wow.
Depending on the plane, you know, a lot of the smaller ones,
you go on your rubbish, like Jetstar and stuff.
They've got the exit front and back.
You want to sit at the back near the door?
Yeah, that's your, that's your best chance.
Anyway, that was super chuckle mania if the world doesn't end
courtesy of the Orange Clown. You'll see or you'll hear from
us next time. TuneIn, then and.
Yeah, if, if we're all still alive, we'll be back in the
future, the future, the future. Bye bye everyone, bye, bye, bye.
58.
