Not really.

You're funny.

Yeah, well,

that's one thing I'm good at.

What, you're only good at one thing?

Probably.

I'm not good at anything else, really.

I mean, sometimes I feel like a loser.

Yeah? Why do you feel like that?

Ah, let me see... it's three in the

morning, I've got the curtains drawn.

I'm talking to someone I don't even

know, having an erotic phone call.

I mean... loser.

I'm kind of doing the same thing.

Yeah, but at least you're

getting paid for it.

Anyway...

it's late. Probably should go.

It's been nice talking to you though.

Caroline, was it?

Yeah. OK, Thomas.

See ya.

Bye.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Hello.

- Is that Caroline?

- Yeah.

It's me, Wing Nuts.

Thomas. You're back again.

Yeah.

Um...

do you ever...

Do you guys, I mean,

people that do your thing,

are you allowed to kind of meet up with

people you talk on the phone with?

I'm not saying

I was thinking of doing that.

I'm glad you're not thinking about it,

Thomas, because unfortunately, I can't.

I was just asking.

I'm not saying I was going to do it

anyway.

I don't even know you. I mean,

you could be a freak or whatever.

- You can always call.

- Yeah, I know.

I feel a bit stupid now.

Anyway, I'd better go to bed.

It's $5 a minute.

OK.

Anyway, I'll see you. I won't see you.

I mean, I'll...

I'll talk to you, whatever.

OK. Bye.

D*ckhead.

Yoo!

Go and score a goal, mate.

How did you end up?

Oh, you know, the usual.

Jo was pissed off, I had a spew.

Yeah, good times.

You are a disaster.

Yeah, I know.

So how are you feeling

about your time off?

Yeah.

What are you going to do for two months?

Dunno. Sit around, stare out the window,

wonder what's happening in my life,

cup of tea, kill myself.

You know, normal sh*t.

Before you top yourself, Sad Sack,

think about the American offer.

Yeah, I will. What are you going to do?

I'm doing it.

Come to Dad, mate!

Jump on Uncle Manny.

Oh! Alright.

- Is that your dad?

- No.

Oh, yeah.

He can't say that!

- I'm your real dad.

- You're not my daddy.

- He's my dad.

- No, he's a drunk.

No, my dad's over there,

my dad's over there!

You talk a lot about your father.

What does he feel about it?

Ah, he whinges a bit.

He's always whingeing.

He's always saying, 'Comb your hair.

It looks like a bloody half-sucked mango.'

My head's too big for my body.

I've got no arse. I look like a foetus.

You're being a bit hard on yourself,

Manny.

- And I've got wing nuts.

- You really think you've got wing nuts?

Yeah, look at them.

Either that

or my head's too small for my ears.

People always come up and say,

'I just look at you and laugh.'

I don't know whether to take that

Carl Barron

Carl Barron (born 11 June 1964) is an Australian theatre and television comedian. His style is based on observational humour. He was born in Longreach, Queensland, the son of a sheep shearer, and formerly worked as an apprentice roof tiler. Barron has released four DVDs, entitled Carl Barron LIVE!, Carl Barron: Whatever Comes Next, Carl Barron: Walking Down The Street, and Carl Barron: A One Ended Stick. In November 2010 a box set entitled "All The Stuff I've Done So Far" was released, which included the first three previous titles, plus a documentary and outtakes. In 1993 he was voted 'Comic of the Year' and 'Best Up and Coming Talent' and has since made many TV appearances in commercials and on TV shows such as Rove and Thank God You're Here. Barron made his first television appearance on the NRL Footy Show on 17 April 1997.One of his perpetual jokes is that several people have mistaken him for people such as Australian musician Paul Kelly. He once stated "I reckon if Paul Kelly and Gandhi had a baby, I'd be it!". He has regularly sold-out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Barron has been very successful in Australia with the DVD release of Carl Barron LIVE! going four times platinum, making it the most successful Australian comedy DVD in Australian history.
