·46 min·3 clips

Duncan says “Bogan” is the worst word, then links it to “bogeys come out of your bum.”

1. Radio Nonsense: A Comedy Club 4 Kids podcast centers this episode on Duncan Oakley and the question of why ham is called ham. 2. Tiernan introduces Duncan Oakley as the guest and calls him the owner of “the world's largest collection of broken escalators.” 3. The episode seems built for listeners who want the show’s running jokes, especially Linda, stinky hippos, and surreal wordplay. 4. Duncan and Tiernan start with escalators, including the idea that a broken escalator is still just stairs. 5. Duncan describes roller skates, train stations, and the mistake of trying to jump to the top of an escalator instead of walking. 6. The conversation moves to aeroplanes, with both speakers joking about sitting outside on wings versus being inside among the passengers. 7. Cars become another joke target, with a spoiler described as something to hold onto at high speed. 8. The pair then extend the logic to cinemas, where noisy popcorn eating, burping, and constant pausing are described as ways to spoil a film. 9. Duncan jokes that he stands at the front and reads books aloud when films are based on books. 10. A later section turns to Marmite, with Duncan describing hiding in a giant pot and saying some people like it while others do not. 11. The episode gives a long run of absurd body-and-food jokes, including being spread on toast, “two Marmites in one jar,” and Australian Vegemite. 12. Tiernan says Duncan has been sitting on the sofa since the previous appearance because he never properly hung up the call. 13. Duncan says he has rigged a piping system to the toilet and kitchen so he can stay on the sofa. 14. The pair then discuss “bogeys come out of your bum,” tissue use at both ends, and cucumber blindness. 15. Another listener question asks about being constantly clung to by koalas versus only wearing mascot costumes. 16. Duncan and Tiernan work through hand koalas, snack koalas, eucalyptus, and the idea of being a personal mascot. 17. The tone is fast, conversational, and improvisational, with Tiernan repeatedly steering Duncan back to the current question. 18. The format mixes listener emails, legal-family-friendly checks, and long stretches of uninterrupted comic riffing. 19. Listeners who like surreal kids-comedy and pun-heavy guest banter will enjoy this. 20. Listeners wanting a straightforward interview with no digressions may skip it.
