165. My Boyfriend Josh

October 07, 2020 20:00 - 1 minute - 2.29 MB

In this episode I call my boyfriend, Josh, and I tell him a joke. A true hero of the podcast. Somehow yet to be sick of me, even though every night I sit on the couch and tell him the jokes I have planned for the next day, always followed by a slightly aggressive "is that funny??"

164. My Friend Kate

October 06, 2020 20:00 - 1 minute - 2.53 MB

In this episode I call my friend, Kate, and I tell her a joke. There's almost nothing better than finding a new thing, and immediately knowing that someone you love is also going to love it. I recently discovered an audio drama series called Forest 404 by the BBC (it came out in 2019), and as I was listening to the first few episodes, I got more and more excited to tell Kate about it. Kate has one of my favourite brains, so I was very chuffed to recommend something, and luckily she liked it...

163. My Work Friend Danny

October 05, 2020 20:00 - 1 minute - 2.58 MB

In this episode I call my work friend, Danny, and I tell him a joke. Danny is a very funny man, and the best TV warm up person in Australia (probably also the world). He got extra famous writing banners for the Bulldogs, and he co- hosts They Came To Play, a delightful podcast about AFL. Here's the origami sketch Danny mentioned in the episode. It's an ancient Japanese art. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke. Support this show http://supporter.acas...

162. My New Friend Mel

October 04, 2020 20:00 - 2 minutes - 3.33 MB

In this episode I call my new friend, Mel, and I tell her a joke. When this podcast was just a brand new podcast baby, and I thought that only my friends and family were listening, a stranger named Melanie messaged me to let me know that she liked it. And it was just such a nice message to get. The very least I could do was call her with a joke to say thank you. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

161. My Friend Emma

October 03, 2020 20:00 - 1 minute - 2.32 MB

In this episode I call my friend, Emma, and I tell her a joke. I met Emma through our mutual friend Katie, and we've had several truly excellent nights out. Emma is fun, and lovely, and is a guaranteed good time. Can't wait until we can get lost in a crowd again. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

160. My Other Friend Chris

October 02, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.82 MB

In this episode I call my other friend, Chris, and I tell him a joke. Is there anyone less enthusiastic about this whole idea that Chris? Probably not, but little does he know that this is my favourite kind of reaction, and all he's done is guaranteed himself more calls. Love you, Chris.

158. My Friend Celia

September 30, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 3.32 MB

In this episode I call my friend, Celia, and I tell her a joke. Celia is Celia Pacquola, who is not only a lovely person, but is also genuinely my favourite comedian. If you want to see an incredible hour of stand-up (and you do), watch her show All Talk on Amazon Prime. And if you want to see a wonderful Aussie comedy that she writes and also stars in (and you do want that), watch Rosehaven.

157. My Work Friend Tim

September 29, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 3.16 MB

In this episode I call my work friend, Tim, and I tell him a joke. Got nothing extra to add about Tim this time around, except that I've been looking forward to calling him again since the last time I called him. He's on the TV again this Monday, so (if you live in Australia like we do) make sure you tune in to Channel Ten on Monday at 8:30pm. They will probably put him another cute jumper.

156. My Boss Friend Rob

September 28, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.71 MB

In this episode I call my boss, Rob, and I tell him a joke. During the long lockdown of 2020, Rob and I both started making sofrito, a Spanish sauce made with capsicum and tomatoes that is delicious with just about anything. We've been comparing batches and tips (my hot tip is to mince up mushrooms and add those for a little extra oomph, Rob's is to let the tomatoes cook down just a *bit* longer than you think you should to make them extra sweet), and honestly we're just bloody loving it.

September 27, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.99 MB

In this episode I call my friend, Anna, and I tell her a joke. Anna got me the best lockdown gift in history - a DIY kit to make a felt conductor's hat for my cats.

September 22, 2020 21:00 - 3 minutes - 5.01 MB

In this episode I call my friend, Dr Chris, and I tell him a joke. Chris is a vet, a TV host, an amazing guitar player, and also just a really lovely human. If I had a chin like his I would probably be a jerk to everyone, but he's not a jerk to anyone, so I guess there's still hope for humanity after all.

In this episode I call my new friend, Sam, and I tell him a joke. Sam Petersen is an actually hilarious comedian (and producer and director), and when he first tweeted that he liked and listened to this podcast I played it a bit cool, but I was actually very, extremely excited.

In this episode I call my boss friend, Ben, and I tell him a joke. Ben has white hair and a white beard, and some people (not me) have commented that he maybe looks a little bit like a certain chicken-related mascot man. Anyway, one time there was a dress up party and he came as Colonel Sanders and ALSO brought fried chicken to hand out to anyone who wanted some, and he was truly the peoples' champion.

In this episode I call my uncle, Barry, and I tell him a joke. Uncle Barry gave me my first ever job, working at the souvenir shops inside football matches in Brisbane. I think now that 12 years old was probably too young to be taking credit card payments, but I felt very grown up and important using those click-clack machines that I'd only seen in the movies.

September 16, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.85 MB

In this episode I call my work friend, Samana, and I tell her a joke. When Samana and I worked together, one part of her job involved calling people she didn't know and had never spoken to before, and I have NEVER heard someone be as good at talking to people as she is. She has this way of making every single person she speaks to feel like they've won the lottery. A true telephone master, please have Samana call me with any important information you need to deliver from now until forever. ...

September 15, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 3.64 MB

In this episode I call my uncle, Bill, and I tell him a joke. My Uncle Bill is my Mum's brother, and he lives in South Africa, so we weren't in each other's lives much when I was a kid. After not seeing him at all for almost 20 years, I got a short job contract in South Africa and asked if I could come and visit him for a week at the end of it. It turns out we were both very nervous about how it would go, and if we would get along or have anything in common, but after about 15 minutes we d...

Sometimes I think I should be paying Nikki for the amount she saves me on therapy - talking with Nik always ends with me feeling more calm, more grounded and more prepared for whatever's coming than I was when we started.

Ben and I (and our mates Fiona and Laura) make a podcast about books called Book Who's Talking, and if you like books and laughs then it is maybe for you. Ben is a good egg who doesn't mind being made fun of if it's good for the podcast and/or good for morale and/or just if we feel like it.

In this episode I call my podcast pal, Tim, and I tell him a joke. Tim Batt makes one of my actual favourite podcasts, The Worst Idea of All Time, where he and Guy Montgomery review awful movies over and over and over.

He's one of the kindest, most genuine, most loving people in the world, and not to be all sappy, but I'm honestly #blessed to know him. Billy is an Australian radio legend (for real), and he's interviewed some of the biggest names in music - Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, Iggy Pop, Leonard Cohen - and you can hear some of those interviews, as well as new music you'll love, ...

I'm intimidated by her, but only in a way that makes me want to be better. Almost 10 years ago (10 years!) Steph and I went on a trip together to Japan, and it's still one of the best holidays I've ever been on. We went to Tokyo Disney Sea, a steampunk wonderland that is the best of the Disneys.

In this episode I call my friend, Dan, and I tell him a joke. Dan is a librarian who lives in the UK, and I can't imagine a better person to get kids excited about reading and stories. If you need a little pick-me-up (you do, obviously), please enjoy Dan performing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins: https://youtu.be/X4jriyxY6NI (Here's a playlist of other songs he's performed that are inspired by books, it may be my favourite thing on the internet: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQBzSAdx...
