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! 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? It’s another hot one! Plus: Blanket’s up to her absolutely classic old tricks with the Patreon names. This episode is EVEN LONGER on Patreon!

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. I really have no idea whether this episode is genius, or the work of idiots. MAYBE BOTH. Enjoy! Plus: Blanket can't stop interpreting Patreon subscriber names! This episode is EVEN LONGER on Patreon!

Ding Dong! I shone the comedy signal up in the air and HARLEY BREEN and BEN LOMAS answered! It's a classic comedy episode: Lomas has performed at a gig that I'm not quite sure he should have performed at...; Harley and Lomas get way too excited about doing comedy on cruise ships and all the dumb stuff that happens on there; Lomas talks about his history of gambling AND drinking; I've had my first sauna; and Lomas has been on holidays in Japan!

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!!!... So what do I do with all my old stuff?? Plus: Blanket's been part of an incident at the pool!

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!
