25. My Work Friend Tim

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/20

In 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/2411068892354506/

24. My Friend Jerry

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/19

In 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/ancient-rome

23. My Friend Annie

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/18

In 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/frontline

22. My Friend Tim

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/17

In this episode I call my friend, Tim, and I tell him a joke. Tim is one of the funniest and kindest people I know. 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. If you would like to have a go at singing the song (it's a banger), there's a karaoke track for you here:

21. My Friend Aga

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/16

In 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. We've kept Supper Club going during isolation, from home and via zoom, and it's been so good, but before lockdown this was my favourite place we went to for dinner:

20. My Friend Jez

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/15

In this episode I call my friend, Jez, and I tell him a joke. The first time I ever saw Jez he was playing Princeton in a production of Avenue Q. 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. And even when he's wrong it's still the best. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke. Support this show

19. My Other Friend Chris

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/14

In 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/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

18. My Friend Moana

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/13

In 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

17. My Boss Friend Ben

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/12

In this episode I call my boss friend, Ben, and I tell him a joke. Ben is sometimes my boss, and he's a good one. He's also sometimes my friend, and he's average at that but he does his best (sorry, Ben, that's another joke). One time Ben and I were working in South Africa together, and he organised a weekend in Johannesburg for a small group, and he took us to this cool jazz club, and that's how I found out that not all jazz is terrible. So if you find yourself in Johannesburg, this is where the

16. My Boyfriend Josh

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/11

In this episode I call my boyfriend, Josh, and I tell him a joke. Josh makes me proud every day. I couldn't have asked for a better person to self-isolate with. Josh wrote a comic book that came out a couple of years ago, about vikings and aliens, and you can check it out here: https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/the-spider-king/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

15. My Friend Nikki

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/10

In this episode I call my friend, Nikki, and I tell her a joke. Nikki and I like to walk together. Sometimes it's little walks near our houses, and sometimes it's multi-day hikes carrying all of our food and water and shelter with us. A few years ago we both took a week off work so we could go walking in Western Australia. We walked along a section of the Bibbulmun Track, and it was one of the best things I've ever done. If you like walking you should go to there: https://www.bibbulmuntrack.org.au/

14. My Mum Patricia

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/09

In this episode I call my Mum, Patricia, and I tell her a joke. It's Mother's Day, so I decided to give my Mum another parrot-themed joke. And boy wasn't she so excited to hear from me. Love you, Mum. Promise I'll send you the link. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

13. My Friend Tristan

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/08

In this episode I call my friend, Tristan, and I tell him a joke. Tristan cooks wonderful food, and writes the most beautiful words about food. One time he got flown from Australia to the USA just so he could write about a burger. Fancy. This is one of my favourite pieces of Tristan writing, and I defy you not to crave crab once you've finished reading it: https://www.delicious.com.au/travel/international/article/step-inside-swan-oyster-depot-san-francisco/xt8lvaa6 Support this show

12. My Friend Kasey

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/07

In this episode I call my friend, Kasey, and I tell her a joke. Kasey is a performer and theatre producer who creates incredible art. She makes feminist, site-specific works and her show The Maze has won a stack of awards in Australia and overseas. It's awesome, and you can (and should) find out about it here: http://www.thehoneytrap.net.au/the-maze Kasey has also been in an episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, which is super cool, obviously.

I Just Called To Tell You A Joke ·

2020/05/06

In this episode I call my step-mum, Sharyn, and my dad, Rick, and I tell them a joke. My Dad met Sharyn while they were both working at Universal Studios in Florida - they worked on building the Jaws ride and the Back to the Future ride. When I was little I was SO TERRIFIED of the Jaws ride, I would literally have nightmares about it. It's closed down now, but if you'd like to see the source of my childhood trauma, please enjoy this ride-through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QurplyEz_P4 Support

In this episode I call my friend, Sara-Jane, and I tell her a joke. SJ and I have many VERY similar interests. Years ago, she and I got completely obsessed with this animated Avengers show called Earth's Mightiest Heroes. It doesn't care about the movie-verse at all, and is genuinely so fun, we loved it. You can watch on Disney Plus if you're looking for fun quarantine viewing: https://www.disneyplus.com/series/the-avengers-earths-mightiest-heroes/746QUhXvkYXm Sara-Jane is also the person who got

2020/05/04

In this episode I call my friend, Katie, and I tell her a joke. Katie is the best. Katie makes beautiful things out of yarn for the people she loves, and is a wonderful and generous cook. Recently I made these soft pretzels from a recipe by Katie and our other friend Sara-Jane, and they are SO GOOD, and I felt like a MAGICIAN: https://newfatladies.com/2013/08/14/soft-pretzels-not-so-scary/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

In this episode I call my friend, Chris, and I tell him a joke. Chris has lived at 65 different addresses in his 39 years on the planet. He turned that experience (which, let's be honest, sounds awful) into a hilarious blog series, AND THEN he made those into an excellent live show for the Melbourne Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
