Ding Dong! It's our favorite ethnic comedian from the sub-continent, MIKE GOLDSTEIN , and the Ennio Morricone of comedy podcasts, OLIVER CLARK ! I teach Blanket about 9/11; Goldstein tells the epic tale of someone being arrested on his international flight to the US; plus the REAL hot topic... middle seats on planes; Oliver tells us the story behind the Ding Dong Club theme "Gimme That"; I explain the real reason why the Sydney live podcast audience wasn't loud; and we get into my never-ending fascination of cover bands... as we pitch some new songs to one of them!

Ding Dong! This week it's the Queen of Queensland comedy, MEL BUTTLE , and the Koh Samui three-way king ROHAN GANJU ! And yes, of course there's more talk of me dealing with people on the door of comedy shows, BUT, I've been absolutely OBLITERATED by a heckle on the way to the podcast; Mel picks apart growing up as an only child and tries to calm my nerves for Blanket's future; and then explains in great detail the fascinating process of dealing with a sperm bank (it's nothing like Abhishek says it is). This one is SUPER interesting, and SUPER funny! Plus Rohan burns me so hard, I'm still peeling. Plus: Blanket's at it again! This episode is EVEN LONGER on Patreon!

Ding Dong! Two classic Ding Dong Club buddies this week, it's DAVE THORNTON and DANNY McGINLAY! I'm dealing with being badly reviewed on Google Maps; we explore the phenomenon of people that live in shops; we all figure out our shittest places we've stayed when we've lived overseas; and Thorno and Danny have met someone (in)famous at the footy!

Ding Dong! This week, we’ve got one of Queensland’s finest HARLEY BREEN , and one of the top 1000 most powerful people from South Australia: LEHMO ! My parents have finally moved away from Maryborough. I now have no connection with my home town… How do I feel? What is my legacy? Where do I rank amontst the all-time Maryborough greats? How do my guests feel about their hometowns? And are my parents psychotic for getting rid of something very controversial during their move? Let me know! Plus there’s Shane Warne talk; how awkward it is to suggest jokes to other comedians; what’s better: 1 kid or 4 kids?; and I run into someone making a comedy comeback… Is this the weirdest comedy interaction I’ve ever had?

Ding Dong! This week we've got chart-favorite SAM TAUNTON and Queensland's finest DAMIEN POWER! Is this the DUMBEST episode of 2026? It's GOTTA be! We obsess about one single DUMB thing for 45 minutes... I won't give it away yet. Pretty hard to follow it, but we try with: I've seen something weird at the train station; we ask "can you go back and visit your old house?"; plus Damo's wild uni years.

Ding Dong! Two comedy legends in Blanket's bedroom this week: WIL ANDERSON and DAVE O'NEIL ! We wonder if this podcast (and my child) are about to go full right-wing; coincidentally we also wonder about the career trajectory of our mate Dave Hughes and what he can do next; there's still more news coming out of Koh Samui; we play the Thailand edition of The Price is Right; and my parents are moving house!!!...

Ding Dong! We're back in the studio with NAZEEM HUSSAIN and RAY O'LEARY! I may have landed back in Australia, but there's still plenty to unpack! Did Naz come to Koh Samui or not? What did I get for my birthday? What is Ray's deal with airline food? What's someone in the news done with 7/11 toasted sandwiches? What happened to me in the airport on the way home from Thailand? (You can probably guess) Plus, I teach a crowdwork masterclass after Naz says something bad to some lady at Basement... (To be fair, also after I said something bad to another audience member...) And Naz sees someone in a wheelchair! :) It's a bumper long episode! You're welcome! Plus: Blanket reads out five Patreon names on her school holidays!

Ding Dong, and sawadee ka! The Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ concludes, with the 3rd, but actually first, and yet, final episode of the festival!

Ding Dong! The Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ rolls on, with the 2nd, last, and somehow, 3rd episode!

Ding Dong! It's finally here! The Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ has finally started! And this is the 1st episode! ... Wait, or is it the 2nd episode? The 1st show was MAYBE too f*&ked up to release, so let's cut straight to the 2nd one. Lawrence Mooney is struggling to remember how to get home and what he did to Kyle Legacy on stage; in fact, there are now THREE Kyle Legacys on stage (or is that really Nick Cody and Dave Thornton in disguise?), as we recount our boat trip to Pig Island; Rohan Ganju gets a wealthy benefactor; and we all just try to dissect the MASSIVE day we've just had, and ALL the illegal activities that have been happening. Lucky we're only in Thailand where they're not too fussed about punishment... Kop Khun Khap! Good luck everyone! And: a holiday edition of Let's Talk to Blanket!
