Gaeli, humans. It's time for the third thrilling installment of our special at the

World's Biggest Comedy Festival, a Melbourne International Comedy Festival, where I pops down to Melbourne

for a 10-hour live-streamed substack marathon. As I said, this is the third episode of The Uncomfortable

Conversations, Comedy Extravaganza,

with Dave Hughes, a household name in Australia, a legend of Australian television and radio and stand-up comedy.

He's been so ubiquitous on TV and radio that practically every single Australian has their own Dave Hughes impression.

He joined me to discuss being poor and being rich and getting famous and insulting

the radio shock job Kyle Sanderlamps.

Here he is the one, the only, Dave Hughes.

So what we're doing now for people who might just be tuning in is we're going on all day, all day for the Melbourne Comedy Festival, which starts this week, I think.

No, it starts last Thursday.

It started last Thursday.

Like I say, starts this week.

Nice and topical.

Just getting warm.

Yeah, it starts right.

And we've got five of the best comics all back to back, and we're not stopping. We're not stopping the tape. We're not stop. We're not ramp. I'm going to be here. I'm going to be here at 6 o'clock, Husey, tonight. Tom Ballard's going to be sitting where you are, and we're still going to be gone. You know, Tom Ballard and me were born on the same day in the same hospital.

Not on the same day. 20 years apart.

20 years apart, I would have thought.

Yeah. and we're still going to be gone. You know, Tom Ballard and me were born on the same day in the same hospital.

Not on the same day.

20 years apart, I would have thought. Yeah, well, clearly. He's a small child. Yeah, well, well, that's true. But, and that's what I say to everyone who's younger than me, even if they just turned 50, I say you're a mere pup. Yeah. I want people to feel good, you know.
