Des Bishop: Send Messages Out Of China, Work In A Kebab Shop

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 22:00:00 GMT

If there's anyone who's come close to literally doing EVERYTHING it's DES BISHOP.

He's made television shows about working various minimum wage jobs, learning Irish and performing stand-up comedy in Chinese.

Where does this innate ability to fit in come from? What are the challenges of appearing on a dating show in China? And which Australian radio host REFUSES to wear shoes?

We answer all of these questions as well as chat a little about his life these days, married to a fellow comedian after hooking up on a reality show.

We chat about her background in medicine and how she's had to utilise it in order to help out an audience member mid-show, living her life at a frantic pace from a young age, having to prepare a turkey lunch for seventy people on very, very short notice, and whether either of us would be able to make it very far on the reality show 'Alone'.

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 22:00:00 GMT

Hours after having a Snickers induced psychosis, I’m joined by JUSTIN HAMILTON in my hotel room! We pick apart our two decades of shared history: from me wreaking havoc at the Bourne Ultimatum premiere, Hammo making me lose my mind in the back of a taxi, and the hours and hours we spent playing poker with other comedians.

We also finally hear the other side of the story of Hammo getting a massage from Wil Anderson live on stage in Adelaide and attempt to figure out how to get older without losing touch with pop culture.

SASHI PERERA joins me today. She's been killing it all over the place: nominated for Best Newcomer, appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention and selling out shows all around the world. I didn't really know her until recently when we shared a venue together at the Comedy Festival which, as we discover, is a lot like being in a long distance relationship. We discuss my Air BnB travel hack, Sashi's newfound love of quitting, singing in live comedy shows and always needing to be right.

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 22:00:00 GMT

I’m long overdue to have my beautiful boys BRETT BLAKE and NICK CAPPER on the podcast so I figured why not get ‘em in here together for a big catch-up over a couple of beers.

Sonny Day: Get Bullied For Flossing, Steal A Mirror From A Tram

Wed, 28 May 2025 03:09:04 GMT

SONNY DAY is one half of We Buy Your Kids - a design duo who've made incredible posters for the likes of Jack White, Youth Group, Laneway Festival, as well as tonnes of movie and video game posters for Mondo. As a painter, he's had solo exhibitions around the world and painted murals for Paramount House in Sydney to pluck just a couple of credits from his amazing CV. I'm very fortunate to call him a friend, I'm continually inspired by his work and his outlook on life and so it was a no-brainer to have him on this show. We retrace our friendship from being bullied over dental floss to painting over questionable murals during a heatwave, chat about the harshest feedback I ever got from an art teacher at school, having tough conversations as you get older, and pondering the later in life career pivot. Great chat with a great dude.

You can buy some of Sonny and Biddy's incredible artwork here: https://sonnyandbiddy.bigcartel.com/

Tue, 13 May 2025 22:00:00 GMT

My old pal DAVE THORNTON joins me this week! Dave's such a knowledgeable guy about so many things so of course I couldn't resist wasting his time by talking about him about the Sonic The Hedgehog movie. We learn about how Dave's juvenile streak is really striking a chord with his children, his obsessive love of basketball and how it developed at a young age, and his failed attempts at mindfulness during the early days of dating his partner!

As the host of ABC's Take Five ZAN ROWE has interviewed hundreds of people and is so beloved as a conversationalist that just before this episode, she was giving a talk in the building where I record about how to be a good interviewer.

Jess Fuchs: Connect With Anyone, Almost Drown At A Party

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 22:00:00 GMT

After gigging with her in Sydney a while back, I knew that JESS FUCHS would be a great chat for this show and so I bestowed upon her the grand honour of christening my new recording space. Jess prides herself on her ability to connect with and accurately read anyone she meets. I'm not sure if I'm good at connecting with people or, as in the case of a recent encounter after a gig, I connect a little bit too much. We also chat about childhood e-mail addresses, my car being full of trash, comedians who are good at paperwork, and the time my dad almost drowned at my 21st.

Sebastien Grainger (Death From Above 1979): Roast Lou Reed, Bake The Perfect Birthday Cake

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 22:00:00 GMT

The almighty DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 are about to hit Australia, playing their beloved debut album "You're A Woman, I'm A Machine" in full. They're one of my all-time favourite bands and so I'm thrilled to have vocalist and drummer SEBASTIEN GRAINGER join me on the show this week. We chat about how his self-critical appraisal of his own performances has softened over time, my failed attempt in 2011 to recommend a pizza place to him over Twitter, roasting Lou Reed at an awards show, shaking up the dynamic of his town by baking the perfect birthday cake and the strangely universal experience of navigating creative partnerships.

In spite of her self-confessed terrible sense of direction, MELANIE BRACEWELL found her way to the studio and joins us this week to chat about how her meteoric rise through the ranks of Australian comedy wouldn't have been possible without scaling the most dangerous peak of all: Cringe Mountain. Tommy's been offered a free meal and feels too scared to chase it up, all while Mel has had someone stay at her house for two whole months. We also discuss ways to save money, the youth grindset mentality, and pi!

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 21:00:00 GMT

Australia's First Attractive Comedian ELOUISE EFTOS is here to help Tommy with one of the most pressing issues in his life: not having the blue tick on Instagram. She's making waves around the country with her incredibly confident brand of comedy but how much of that persona is Elouise able to carry into her personal life?

The Great Man PAUL F. TOMPKINS! A podcast guest so good, he can make even the topic of packing up leftovers funny and insightful.

We bond over our mutual appreciation of men's fashion, our shared lack of geographical knowledge, and our recent forays into re-learning languages that we studied at school. We also reminisce about the good old days of spending literally every cent in your bank account in your early 20's, and we have a deep chat about developing more and more empathy as you get older and the world gets more brutal.

Jordan Barr: Bait The Tabloids & Be A Famous Mormon

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 21:00:00 GMT

JORDAN BARR has racked up a lot of impressive credits in her career but the most illustrious of them all is obviously attending the same high school as Tommy, a fact that we would never have worked out if not for a crazy piece of tabloid news.

Jordan was an expert at lying in high school and so we break down how to tell the perfect lie and go deep on what happens to the kids who never learn that lying is bad.

We also do our best to get our heads around what it is that makes Mormon culture so compelling and figure out what astrology can teach us about the colossally horrid year that was 2024!

Wil Anderson: Fix The Comedy Festival & Start A Podcast Rivalry

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 20:00:00 GMT

Is it really a podcast yet if you haven't had WIL ANDERSON on as a guest?

Wil joins Tommy for a metaphorical stroll around the podcasting casino as we stumble across a way to make the Comedy Festival more interesting and fair for the local acts.

Tommy needs to pick Wil's brain about a devastating development for this new podcast: ANOTHER show has also popped up recently with the same name. Is this the end for How To Do Everything after only three episodes or is there a way for Tommy to use this blunder to his advantage?

Plus, will Tommy's idea for his partners Christmas present lead him towards a new career?

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 21:18:31 GMT

Tommy's in Sydney this week, indulging in one of the most sinful acts that one can commit in a hotel room: Podcasting.

NIKKI BRITTON breaks the ice as only she can and we wonder: how do people who contribute nothing in conversation at parties sleep at night?

We try and figure out what is the right amount of trust to show in your fellow man? Should you ignore a fellow human in need, like Tommy, or become the Pied Piper of Rough Sleepers, like Nikki? We also chat about Nikki's hidden gift for talking to animals and find out that her previous career is something that Tommy is currently learning how to do!

Dilruk Jayasinha: Dress Like Eminem & Furnish a Bomb Shelter

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 21:17:43 GMT

Welcome to How To Do Everything! A new podcast in which famously stupid Tommy Dassalo attempts to assemble a complete guidebook to the human experience by chatting with special guests about what they’ve learned, what they’ve always known, and what they know nothing about.

For this first episode, Tommy is joined by DILRUK JAYASINHA! Dilruk is known to comedy audiences for his appearances on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Utopia, and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, among many, many others.

He’s also someone who’s passionate about the things that he loves and is not afraid to wear that passion on his sleeve – quite literally. In an increasingly cynical and judgemental world, what is Dilruk’s secret to being comfortable with displaying his collection of figurines and niche paintings regardless of how much of a serial killer it makes him look like?
