| 0:00.0 | I once came to in a water fountain looking at a fish, a bit like the guy with the lobsters. |
| 0:11.8 | Were you the guy in the tank? |
| 0:14.3 | I wasn't. |
| 0:14.8 | Have you changed the name to Dave? |
| 0:16.8 | And this is actually your story. |
| 0:18.6 | I was lobster man for a day. |
| 0:21.6 | Yeah, a friend of mine woke up in the bucket of a digger one morning. |
| 0:26.5 | Lots of terrible stories about waking up in weird places. |
| 0:29.5 | That happened all the time. |
| 0:31.2 | My sister told me another story once of a guy that went to a party in Liverpool. |
| 0:35.2 | And when he woke up, he opened the curtains and he was staring at the Empire State Building. |
| 1:11.6 | That's the sort of thing that can happen in these drinking stupers, isn't it? You don't know what you're doing and it can go on for hours. That's the scariness of a blackout hay, Hamish. That takes the biscuit. That's unbelievable. It's true. Things like that happen. What about you? Well, that party one, looking for a party, just reminded me of one where I had a night out, so I was living in Sydney. And in London, I was a children's party entertainer, right? Does not surprise me. So I had a bag full of tricks. And when I moved here, I didn't have a job. I bought most of the equipment that you need to do children's parties, which is a tug of war rope, a colourful parachute, you know, a little bit sweets and all that sort of stuff. And I had a big night |
| 1:15.4 | out and I came back and my housemates heard me come in and then they didn't hear the door |
| 1:20.4 | closed. Yeah. And they went looking for me and it turns out I'd come in, picked up my children's |
| 1:25.9 | party stuff, gone to the neighbours house for having |
| 1:28.3 | a garden party and when they looked over the fence, I was there hosting a children's party |
| 1:33.0 | for the neighbours. In a blackout? Yeah, I had the parachute out. I was giving them team names. |
| 1:38.9 | Oh God. You couldn't remember it in the next night. No, I don't remember that, no. |
| 1:41.9 | Oh my God. So yeah, the party continued. Yeah, had a blackout of party recently. So all the boys in this friendship group had a party and all the girls did one. The girls wanted like a beautiful party. Everyone brought a plate of food. There was fruit in the fridge. Like they made cocktails, but it was quite a classy party. |
| 2:01.5 | Yeah. |
| 2:01.8 | The boys, the only food in the fridge was one stick of celery. |
| 2:05.4 | The whole fridge was booze. |
