June 28, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.92 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Lucy, and I tell her a joke.

63. My Friend Sara-Jane
June 27, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.67 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Sara-Jane, and I tell her a joke. The wonderful Sara-Jane is back for round two! The "Percy" she's referring to at the start of the episode is an adorable sphynx cat - before I met her I assumed a sphynx would be aloof and cold and mean, but Percy is the most ridiculous and goofy creature on the face of the earth.

Michael, or Wardy as everyone calls him, is one of the funniest people I know, and he's also one of the kindest. There's nobody in the world I'd rather work alongside on a 13-hour-middle-of-the-night shift, which is lucky, because we've done that together heaps.

61. My Friend Lidia
June 25, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.09 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Lidia, and I tell her a joke. If you'd like to see a picture of Lidia, you can find it in the dictionary under "Practical and no-nonsense". Lidia is a total champion, and has helped me with so many adult things - from finding someone to install my air-conditioning, to buying a new car, to conflict resolution at my owner's corporation meeting.

59. My Friend Lucy
June 23, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.79 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Lucy, and I tell her a joke. Lucy is a lovely friend who once leant me walking poles when I was going on a big, long hike, and then she didn't get mad when I accidentally left one of them leaning up against a tree in the middle of nowhere on the opposite side of the country. Sorry again about that, Lucy. Lucy is also the person who introduced me to the Alfie books by Shirley Hughes. If you do not know these books you need to fix that STAT: https://www.peng...
58. My Boss Friend Rob
June 22, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.75 MBIn this episode I call my boss, Rob, and I tell him a joke. Aside from being an excellent boss, Rob is also the reason I now reeeeeally like wine. When I was going on a holiday a couple of years ago, Rob gave me a book to read while traveling called Cork Dork, about a journalist who decides to get into the world of sommeliers. I thought it was going to be something I read a bit of just to be polite and so I could say I read it, but then I absolutely devoured it, and came home itching to app...
57. My Friend Erica
June 21, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.88 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Erica, and I tell her a joke. If you can judge a person based on how much their tiny students love them then Erica is an actual angel on Earth. An excellent teacher and an excellent person, she can also skateboard so there is literally nobody cooler. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

56. My Friend Jelly
June 20, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 3.16 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Jelly, and I tell her a joke. I knew Jelly well before she knew me, because I followed her on Twitter for literally years before we ever met. She was funny and smart, and when she followed me back I felt like I'd really, properly made it. Anyway, I've since learned that she's also funny and smart in real life, as well as generous and loving and a brilliant teacher. What a good.

June 17, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.42 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Adam, and I tell him a joke. Adam is a talented and passionate film maker, and one of the kindest and most supportive friends I've ever had. When we first met and were working on the same project I overheard him watching Pink Elephants on Parade through his office door, and immediately knew I wanted to be friends.

June 16, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.4 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Megan, and I tell her a joke. Megan works in TV, and I also work in TV, and somehow we have never worked together, despite the fact that she's the best. I will not rest until that changes. Megan, consider yourself warned.

50. My Boss Friend Tom
June 14, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.66 MBIn this episode I call my boss, Tom, and I tell him a joke. I've worked with Tom, on and off, for about 13 years. It's the best. Before I called to tell him a joke, Tom put a question about THIS VERY PODCAST into a prime time Australian TV show. Now that he's heard this joke I'm sure he regrets it, but it's way too late to take it back. Thanks, Tom.

Susannah (Sus, Swooze, Swoozle) is one of the best, and I am blessed to have a desk near hers when we're in the office.

Tim and I live in the same building, and it is incredibly nice to have someone you can call when you accidentally lock yourself outside. I know this from experience, so thanks for your help, Tim.

46. My Kid Friend Harley
June 10, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 1.96 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Harley, and I tell her a joke. I met Harley when she was a teeny tiny baby, and it blows my mind that she's already 8 years old. She's spunky, and hilarious, and better than me at nearly every board game in the world. Harley taught me how to play one of my favourite games, Sushi Go, which you should check out if you are a kid or grown up who likes games and/or sushi: https://gamewright.com/product/Sushi-Go Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/iju...

June 09, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.09 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Acalia, and I tell her a joke. I met Calie because her basketball team was looking for players, and I was looking for a way to play basketball. Now, more than five years later, I am completely O B S E S S E D with the team and with Calie. You will never meet a more welcoming person, she made Thursday night exercise one of the great joys of my life. Here are some basketball drills I've been trying to master during isolation (with bonus gnarly music track): ...
44. My Friend Sharon
June 08, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.3 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Sharon, and I tell her a joke. Shar is the kind of person who offers to pick you up from the airport, even though she knows your flight lands at 4:30am, and then makes sure to drive through McDonald's so you can have a hash brown on the way home. She would pass the shopping trolley test every time, and nobody in the world makes a better jelly slice.

43. My Work Friend Dan
June 07, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 2.95 MBIn this episode I call my work friend, Dan, and I tell him a joke. Dan is the accountant at the place where I work most of the year, and you just couldn't ask for a better person to spend time with. He taught me how to make coffee, helped me start salary sacrificing to my superannuation (hello, responsible adult), and he lets me talk at him about books and TV even when he's busy. Dan and I actually have the same favourite books, so if you would like to read the best books in the world, Da...
42. My Friend Marina
June 06, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.81 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Marina, and I tell her a joke. One time I was at a bar with Marina and some other friends, and there was a girl sitting outside on the steps crying. Everybody else assumed it was none of their business, but Marina sat down beside her, talked with her quietly for half an hour, and eventually convinced her to come inside and play board games with us for the rest of the night. The sad girl ended up having an excellent time, and I had it officially confirmed th...
41. My Other Other Friend Chris
June 05, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.37 MBIn this episode I call my other friend, Chris, and I tell him a joke. Yes, I have a lot of friends named Chris. I became friends with THIS Chris because of Survivor. We have a podcast together called "Previously On Australian Survivor" with our mates Fiona, Ben & Laura, where we talk about Australian Survivor, and it's just the best fun. Chris is in charge of taking notes, and keeping us on track, and making cheeky puns when we least expect it. He is one of the good ones. Come and talk to ...
40. My Kid Friend Aria
June 04, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.74 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Aria, and I tell her a joke. Aria is fierce and funny, and she turns FIVE this Sunday! I have never been more sure that a kid will one day grow up to run the world, and I genuinely can't wait to live in the world she runs. For Aria's 3rd birthday, I got her this terrifying mask of Emma from The Wiggles, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since: https://www.amazon.com.au/Wiggles-Emma-Plush-Face-Mask/dp/B07MNF99N2 Support this show http://supporter....
39. My Friend Pete
June 03, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.57 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Pete, and I tell him a joke. Pete is one of my favourite people in the world. A lot of the inspiration for this podcast comes from him, and the bad jokes he's been telling me for years, so please send him any and all complaints. In 2006 Pete (Peter Lawler, television director from London) appeared on the first episode of Poker Dome in Las Vegas, which would be hilarious even he didn't go out first, which he definitely did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
38. My Friend Kat
June 02, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 2.88 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Kat, and I tell her a joke. I met Kat when I was just starting a new job, and the very first thing she did was take me out to lunch. So I liked her even before I found out she was smart and funny and dedicated and the very best person to share an eye-roll with across a crowded room. Kat and I both love audio story-telling, and you can hear an excellent story she made about the Australian swing dancing scene here: http://allthebestradio.com/shows/1842-thin...

He's a psychologist, a practicing lawyer, he travels all over the world for research projects, and also he used to be on the Canadian national swimming team, because sure, why not? Rob volunteers his time and does free legal work for people seeking asylum in Australia through the ASRC, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. It's an organisation I'm passionate abo...

May 31, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 4.39 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Sarah, and I tell her a joke. Sarah is basically bottled sunshine, it honestly makes me cheerful just to think about her. She's currently teaching in Darwin, and posts beautiful photos like this that make me wonder why we're not all finding a reason to be in Darwin: https://www.instagram.com/p/CApVp8Wgu_xP5JlKM-8VYrf8hQooNUA45qlm2U0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

Cam and I met when we were working together overseas, and from the very first time we spoke I knew we were going to be friends. He's the definition of a very good egg. I just found this photo of Cam as a tiny baby 11 year-old when he was playing Colin in a production of The Secret Garden, and my heart can hardly take it: http://www.rossfiddesmusic.com/tsg/yungcast02.htm Come and talk to me on Twitter!

When he was smaller he showed me how to hear my own blood, and when I babysat him last year he taught me how to make popcorn from just kernels in the microwave.

Will is a relatively new friend who married an Australian and moved to Australia *just* in time to be *completely* jerked around by 2020 in a *totally* unfamiliar country. And yet somehow he hasn't turned into the husk of human that I know I'd be by now. I am totally in awe of his composure. Also in awe of his mad cooking skillz. Come and talk to me on Twitter!

We play lots of role-playing games together (hello, fellow D&D nerds), and I'm constantly blown away by the incredible characters and unexpected stories she comes up with. I'm in awe of (and tbh jealous of) Kate's brain, it's a good one. If you like role-playing games, this is one of my favourites that we've played: https://bullypulpitgames.com/games/ni...

I first met Keisha when we were both working in the same giant, open-plan office, and basically everyone was awful except for her. We formed a shy alliance of smiles & good mornings & joint eye rolls, and then we bumped into each other at the grocery store and said hi properly, and now we're friends forever.

We met on the first day of high school, and have been getting into and out of scrapes ever since. We drove around the U.S. together when we were 20, and somehow survived. It's still one of the best things I've ever done, and there's nobody else I would have wanted to be with. Now we're boring grown ups, and somehow still friends, and that's very, very nice.

I don't see my Aunt Cindy very often, she lives in the US and I'm in Australia, but I never feel so welcome as when I visit her. She's an excellent cook, a wonderful grandmother, and a really incredible artist. She also volunteers as a tour guide at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, near where she lives.

26. My Friend Anna
May 21, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 3.89 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Anna, and I tell her a joke. Even though Anna and I live in the building, we hardly ever see each other. But sometimes we leave little bits of mail outside each other's apartment door, and that's just the best. I really like having her nearby. Anna published a book of poetry n 2018, and it's so, so beautiful. You should read it even if you think you don't like poetry.

25. My Work Friend Tim
May 20, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 3.29 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Tim, and I tell him a joke. I started working with Tim about 4 years ago, and in that time he's gone from being the guy I harass when my computer won't connect to the printer, to the guy who writes for (and appears on) a prime time comedy TV show. One of the most talented & funny people I've ever met, I'd hate him if I didn't like him so much. Here he is on TV, wearing the cutest jumper in the world: https://www.facebook.com/693916940636052/videos/241106...
24. My Friend Jerry
May 19, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.97 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Jerry, and I tell him a joke. Jerry's brain is so full of amazing stuff. He teaches classics, and one time at a party I convinced him to give me a "quick rundown" of Roman history. 90 minutes later, people were trying to pack up around us, we were still only up to Hadrian's Wall, and time had never gone so quickly. Imagine being that good at teaching. Want to learn about Ancient Rome? Jerry has literally written a textbook: https://www.sequelbooks.com/an...
23. My Friend Annie
May 18, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 4.07 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Annie, and I tell her a joke. I met Annie working in TV, and there is not a better or kinder person in the entire world. If she likes you she gives you a nickname, and that nickname will stick literally forever. She calls me "Lito". Annie is a legend behind the camera, and she HATES being in front of the camera, but you can see her playing the floor manager (i.e. playing herself) in classic Australian TV series Frontline: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/...
22. My Friend Tim

I don't see him super often, but when I do it's like we pick up in the middle of a conversation and just carry on where we left off. One of the first times I met Tim he somehow convinced me to sing Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid while he played it on the piano.

May 16, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.69 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Aga, and I tell her a joke. I've known Aga for a few years (she's the very best friend of Katie from episode 9), but we only really became close after we started having dinner once a month, a Wednesday night supper club. Each month we try someplace new and delicious and it's just so nice.

Now he's the guy who forwards me job openings for jobs he thinks I'll love and should apply for, and tells me that I'm definitely qualified, probably over-qualified, and that they would be lucky to have me.

May 14, 2020 21:00 - 1 minute - 2.94 MBIn this episode I call my friend, a different Chris, and I tell him a joke. Chris is a writer and programmer and fellow D&D player, and one of the cleverest people I know. He wrote a book for teenagers called Spurt, and it's so funny and so good. If you have a teenager, or if you were ever a teenager, then you should get it: https://www.hardiegrant.com/au/publishing/bookfinder/book/spurt-by-chris-miles/9781760506711 Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyou...
18. My Friend Moana
May 13, 2020 21:00 - 2 minutes - 3.91 MBIn this episode I call my friend, Moana, and I tell her a joke. Moana is the kind of person who lets you live with her for a month when you first move from Brisbane to Melbourne (I know from experience), and the kind of person who will kick your butt at squash but still make you feel like you're the winner. Mo and I are exactly the same kind of competitive, and one day, with any luck, we will be a team on The Amazing Race and we will crush the opposition. Support this show http://suppo...
