It's the final night of the comedy festival,
And Santa Comedy's left it 'til the last minute to stuff your stockings full of content.
So out comes the portable recorder, and let's chat with 4 great comedy mates as we're having a beer or 7.
Ding dong! We've got Guy Montgomery's Spelling Bea (sp?)'s own GUY MONTGOMERY and Queensland' own HARLEY BREEN in the club this week,
As we dissect the history of McDonald's sea-based menu item (something I've personally never tasted, actually), plus Harley's employee history at McDonald's, Guy's mascot experience, and the story of Harley losing his religion!
Plus: Blanket's going back to school!

I'm having dinner at Thai Land on Bourke Street with Liverpool's Kyle Legacy. I feel like we can all understand him now, yeah?
He's the king of crowd work, somehow even better than me! (Must be nice, having other bows in your arsenal than just calling the front row a pack of c*nts.)
Anyway, it's good, he's good, and I'm OK!
OK folks, I've slipped behind a little with bonus episodes, so here's me picking up the slack!!
In the eye of the comedy festival hurricane, here's me gibbering to myself, but somehow, still making myself laugh. (I guess I'm a good crowd.)
Hope it gets you through an easter egg coma. More to come very very soon!!!
APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAYS IN BONERS EPISODES.
The comedy festival has gotten away from me, but the content will catch up! Thank you for your patience!
This is a fun chat with great mate HARLEY BREEN, and we're urging you to go see his show this weekend if you're in Melbourne! It's at Spleen! Do it, he's the best!

Ding dong! We've got two first-time guests,
It's the king and queen of Liverpool: LAWRENCE MOONEY and KYLE LEGACY,
There's a LOT of talk about how my two guests are from Liverpool, don't worry, there's not much soccer talk,
Except for the incredible career of Australian Craig Johnston, plus a crazy link between bikes and the Gold Coast, and a heap of crazy fun facts about the city of Liverpool. Is this educational? Nearly!

Whoa! It's the first EVER live Ding Dong Club episode recording,

It's the conclusion of comedy's greatest triptich, the comedy festival guide according to Chando and Luke Heggie.

They've D*ne It Ag*in!
Luke Heggie is back with me to spout more venom all over the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Guide.
Go see Luke Heggie touring all around Australia!
2025-04-04 00:28:11 +0000 UTC View PostFestival killjoy LUKE HEGGIE joins me as we rattle through the list of shows in this year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival and attempt to shitcan as many of them as we can. WILL WE BE CANCELLED???
(PLEASE don't leak this to anyone we criticise, or anyone with any experience in podcasting I.P.!!!)
It's comedy festival time, I'm under the pump, but I found time to talk to private schoolboy LUKE HEGGIE and first-timer JESS FUCHS!
We go deep behind the scenes at Thai nightclub Mamao Club; how much is a bottle of beer worth?; beach wees; Jess's dyslexia; my idea for a new airport lounge; plus I've bought 130 of something.
Plus: Blanket didn't get me a birthday present.
There's actually 6 tickets now but whatever.
THIS SATURDAY! MELBOURNE!
First EVER live Ding Dong Club!
3 great guests! Thai nightclub! Thai food! Thai beers!

2025-04-01 01:21:14 +0000 UTC View PostYuck. Cameron James and Rohan Ganju stuck around after the main episode and they can't get this idea of people paying to sneak into the morgue out of their heads. Pretty rich for a bunch of guys who no one would pay to have sex with while they're alive. Anyway: sorry!
Hey, only single figures tickets left for the LIVE MELBOURNE DING DONG CLUB PODCAST on April 5!

Oh my word, I'm joined by CAMERON JAMES and first-timer ROHAN GANJU for an absolutely grotty (but very, very funny) episode.
There's a massive update on my psycho neighbours; we learn all about Rohan's very interesting current job, as well as his less-fictional previous jobs; I get to tee off about The White Lotus; Blanket's done an extremely interesting drawing; Cam tells us an insane story about sexting a girlfriend; and Rohan's sat on a p...
IT ENDS HERE.
It's the final wring of the sponge of the attempted main episode record of Luke Heggie and Nick Cody. Maybe it would've been a good main episode, we'll never know. But you guys got some pretty decent bonus episodes out of it.
Hi Patreoners,
It's all in the title really.
I've got a couple of double passes to give away for this Tuesday night at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne. It's the roast of Carrie Bickmore, plus a bunch of famous faces (and me) involved on stage. Should be a ripper.
If you can make it, and want to go,
Give me your best reason why (in 25 words or less),
And I'll make a random choice.
YOU'VE GOT 12 HOURS.
2025-03-23 06:12:10 +0000 UTC View PostWell, he's done it again.
I've chopped up a bit more from a recording I did with LUKE HEGGIE and NICK CODY in the basement, and again, now that I listen back to it, maybe it should've been a main episode. There's plenty of funny bits in it. Maybe I blew it. Well anyway: YOU'RE THE WINNER OUT OF THIS SITUATION. You've got heaps of funny bits with me, Cody and Heggie. Lemme know if this is MAIN EP worthy or just BONERS EP worthy!
Back in the basement: ROVE McMANUS and BRON LEWIS join me for a red-hot, vodka-fuelled, late night episode, and it's a ripper!
The latest episode of ABC's "Australian Story" features Hughesy, Rove AND me; my wife has gets a mysterious bunch of flowers; Rove hates massages and Bron hates her masseuse; Bron has a severe eyebrow episode; there's an INSANE Molly Meldrum sighting; plus Blanket thinks she has a megastar fan!

It's true! We're out the front of a Thai restaurant in Melbourne, and I'm joined by Milan Crncevic, the co-host of DumbCuntiki, one of the biggest podcast-based tours of Bangkok you can go on this year. I've taken time out of his busy schedule where he'd be ordinarily having a beer and talking to me, to convince him to have a beer and talk to me, but this time it's recorded. We're excited about Bangkok in June! SO SUE US!!!
2025-03-16 03:28:42 +0000 UTC View PostEpisode 18! Finally the episode is allowed to drink (and have grandchildren in Maryborough). PETE HELLIAR and SAM TAUNTON join me for the party, as we hear Pete's quite remarkable story about the World Cup; Sam and Pete try to figure out how my wife gave me permission to go to England for 24 hours; there's HEAPS of plane talk (middle seats, chargers, talking to passengers, illegal plane banter and more!), and the legacy at The Project that Pete has ...
2025-03-11 13:18:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe Queensland comedy pair of Danielle Walker and Nick Carr are back (they never went anywhere, they're still in the green room at Basement Comedy Club), and it's been a long day.
I just listened back and I sound f*cked. Apparently flying in from London, then immediately taking your child to gymnastics, then swimming, then walking into the city (and losing a suitcase), then doing a podcast, then running a 2 hour comedy showcase, then doing anothe...
Two of our top 35 favorite Queensland comedians DANIELLE WALKER and NICK CARR hang around while they're in red-hot form and talk about ridiculous dares, taking your top off on stage, and bush wees.
Listen to this ep, and it'll re-invigorate your reasoning to have this subscription! It's good!
It's me, walking in Liverpool! It's the day after the big game, and I'm walking into the city centre from Anfield (Liverpool's home ground).
I actually got a hand held recorder with good quality sound to bring to England, then I packed it in the wrong backpack, so I'm recording all of this on my wonderful corded Apple headphones. It's not even that bad, I reckon.
ANYWAY, sorry I've been slow with these, I'm making up for it now, I'll be more rapid. I've got a few in the tank.

DANIELLE WALKER and NICK CARR join me in the Basement green room this week a few hours after I've stepped off the plane from the UK, and my head is even more f*cked than usual. We talk Liverpool (the city), plus my methodical plan of how to beat jetlag (and how it failed magnificently), heaps of airport talk, and of course: Danielle's family and weird stories about whatever. Plus: Blanket is overjoyed by King Daddy's return (or the opposite).

Hey! I'm in Liverpool and I'm walking around, talking into my headphones and recording what I'm thinking as I'm trying to stay awake, holding out for the big game.
2025-02-27 11:12:29 +0000 UTC View PostNAZEEM HUSSAIN and RAY O'LEARY join me in the Spleen Bar office(!) for an hour of dumbshittery; Nazeem's been burgled, plenty of school talk, some drug updates, and Chando's off to England and gets plenty of advice! It's a good one!

HARLEY BREEN is on the phone! It's an exclusive! No other Patreon bonus episode has him today!
And he's been to the dump! Plus: he names every single shop that's in his country town!
That sounds like a bad description, but I wish I subscribed to this show. Imagine a podcast the told you about going to the tip, and naming every shop in a town! What a treat!
Plus, I fuck something up! It's a perfect episode!
Dave O'Neil and Danny McGinlay have hung around from the main episode to keep talking. It's like a warm bath. Nothing shocking, nothing crazy, just 3 masters of their trade, burbling along, distracting you from the pressures of modern life. Give in to it. Hot diggity.

Ding Dong indeed! I had a donkey and I needed its hind leg talked off, so I called DAVE O'NEIL and DANNY McGINLAY!
O'Neil has had a run-in with a Test cricketer, talked fish and chips with Viggo Mortensen, as we descend into a deep dive on fast food... including a classic Chando trolling of a potato cake Facebook group. Plus: Blanket learns how to do comedy!

Triple J breakfast host LUKA MULLER hangs around in the Basement Comedy Club green room to talk for another 15 mins or so. More fucked names; the most dangerous green room in Australia; Hughesy's podcast van; and something I haven't listened to for 20 years: Triple J!
AND: We're in the same room, and not on the fucken phone! How cool!
