I went back to Adelaide and did Christmas early, saw some family, and caught up with a bunch of mates, many of whom I've not seen in 7 or 8 years. Confronted with their memories of me and the person I've been in the past, I've been able to understand the real reasons why I stopped drinking. Also I broke my sobriety! Had a bit of 28-year-old port with Auntie Marilyn. What a card she is!! A few names are silenced in this for anonymity's sake. People got jobs and stuff. Music: Boyboy - Bella Boo

Tonight I did my 600th gig for 2019, but Peter Jones and I are still locked in a merciless competition to do the most for the year, and it is honestly destroying me. I hate it, but I can't give up this close to the end. Maybe this has nothing to do with stamina, and is just what it feels like to get to the end of something? I dunno, I just can't wait for it to be over. Music: Tezeta - Mulatu Astatke

On Friday my boy Luka Muller asked me to fill in for him at a charity gig in Hawthorn, I showed up in pants and a t-shirt to find that I was performing for a crowd of 200-odd people dressed in suits and evening dresses. I bombed, hard. It was awesome.

I'm finding myself inspired to undertake a bunch of projects in my free time at the moment. Gardening, mosaics, hacking shit with a machette, these are all the ways I hope to pour love upon my soul. Too bad I smoked heaps of cigs on Saturday so my inspirational words sound as if they'were recorded through a cement mixer. Music: Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings) - AFI

Peter Jones is a stand up based in Melbourne, and writer for Channel 10's 'The Project'. He's a regular at comedy clubs across Australia, and one of the best joke writers I know. We talked about writing, and what Pete did before he started stand up, which as it happens, was writing. Song: Fred Jones Pt. 2 - Ben Folds

NSW and QLD are on fire, Bolivia and Hong Kong are in the grip of violent riots, Venice is sinking into the sea, and me and my friends drove past a house that was on fire on Nicholson St on Saturday. The world is going to hell in a handbasket, but all I'm worried about is whether the guy who owned the pub I lived above in 2014 is still angry at me for skipping out on $600 worth of rent. Music: Boys Don't Cry - The Cure

Lucy Bloom is one of the most in-demand corporate speakers in Australia, and her memoir 'Get The Girls Out' was published in 2019 by HarperCollins. Lucy was CEO of a charity setting up hospitals in Ethiopia, has travelled the world doing freelance photography, and in 2015 testified in the Royal Commission investigating schools and churches in Australia and their responses to sexual abuse. She gave me a copy of her book after this interview, which was so sick because otherwise I would have had to buy it. She's a badass. Music: Truth Hurts - Lizzo

Koray Hussein is a professional photographer from London who works with models all around Europe. His Instagram is full of incredible photographs of beautiful women, and I wanted to ask him how he manages to take these photos without making his subjects feel uncomfortable. A great conversation about photography, and also kebabs. Interview Starts at 16:00 Music: La Catedral (no. 1 & 3) - Augustin Barrios

On Thursday my friend graciously offered me a cruisy job for two weeks, and I cannot stop complaining about it. This week I do my best to talk myself into some level of humility, and I won't lie, it was a little painful. Music: 10/10 - Rex Orange County

Caili Christian (@caili) is a Melbourne comedian and founder of the Comedy Women's Association, a series of female-only comedy nights. She also helped set up the Light The Way Home Fund to help vulnerable people in comedy get home safely from shows late at night in the wake of the Eurydice Dixon tragedy in 2018. She's been called an "angry, bitter, feminist harpy" by various morons online, but she is hardly that at all, she's one of the most giving and approachable people in comedy, and we had a great chat about everything that she's doing, and Melbourne Comedy in general. Interview starts at 15:55 Song: Person - Crackazat
