Tom Gleeson: Gracefully Exit A Conversation, Become Less Famous
How To Do Everything with Tommy DassaloShow Notes
The Taskmaster himself, TOM GLEESON has invited himself onto the show this week for an absolute treat of an episode! We discuss Tom's mechanical brain for comedy and the work he puts in to make it look like he's putting no work in. We also get deep into the differences between being famous in the present day versus in the 70's, the art of the perfect roast joke, the point of Tom's career where he thought he was at the end of the line and of course: going bald.

I'm home alone and I'm joined by LLOYD LANGFORD and CARL DONNELLY! My house has gone into absolute disrepair while my partner's away, Carl's been watching mostly terrible movies on flights, Lloyd wants to buy a metal detector, I've been making hot sauce AND I have a kids book coming out soon!
It's a rare Saturday Morning record this week, with DANIELLE WALKER and MATT STEWART! We try and figure out what I'm doing wrong at the gym, Danielle's been smooching men in hats, Matt knows too much about horses and we're putting together a Guess Who board based on comedians.
It's a special Brisbane Jocks episode this week as I'm joined by ED KAVALEE and BEN KNIGHT! We chat about which NRL team I should support and the wild world of Brisbane celebrities. We also discover the even nerdier side of Tony Martin, Gary Sweet's IMDB page, and the etiquette of watching movies at the library. Plus Ed's workshopped a way to take Knighty's career into the stratosphere. Check out Ed's new movie Cop This! on Ten Play and Paramount Plus!
Better late than never! This week I'm joined by TOM BALLARD and BEN SEARLE! We get straight down to business: there's a show coming out soon that is largely about my life that I had nothing to do with! Will I get to be in the spin-off? Can I start a reality tour? We also hear about Tom's show causing issues for a venue manager in Ireland, what Searlo's dad wanted to call him, and I've had an impromptu high school reunion with an old friend who described my job in the most bizarre way I've ever heard.
This week I'm joined by KIRSTY WEBECK and DAMIAN CALLINAN! Have I fallen victim to a red light mask scam? Was I too harsh in the note that I wrote to an outrageously inconsiderate car parker in my street? My guests seem to think so! Plus we hear about Damian discovering a delivery driver in peril, we workshop ways to improve the car horn, and Kirsty refuses to let one of her stories get edited out of the podcast.
