Sitting Under A Tree with Aidan Jones
One December in Sydney, out of lonely desperation to tell my story, I sat in a park under a tree and recorded a podcast. I’ve released a new one each week since November 2017, and will continue to do so every Tuesday, forever.

Sunday night at a show I spoke to a guy who had come from the UK to get back with his ex. She has bipolar disorder, and so when he got here, she freaked, and kicked him out of the house. Him telling me, and a room full of people at a comedy show that information was a very honest, beautiful moment. In this podcast I succeed in making it about myself.

New Year. Great Party. Also met some annoying English guy the other night who followed us to a bar, everyone was too polite to tell him to fuck off, but I got him to buy me a drink. Should I feel bad? Probably, but I honestly don't. Happy New Year everyone!

I just finished reading 'I Love Dick' by Chris Kraus, which is evidently a hugely popular piece of feminist literature right now. Anyway, I fucking hated it, so I ranted about that for a while, but before my hot take on this exciting piece of the zeitgeist, I spend ages telling a story about a train. Also Dave Campbell comes round to collect his jacket and scares the shit out of me. Merry Christmas!

I fucked up yesterday and snapped at a friend, I was upset with my own performance on a show, but hadn't admitted it to myself. I guess I was trying to sweep it aside, because the performance wasn't so bad that I bombed or whatever, but when my friend off-handedly compared me to the other act on the lineup, it really upset me, which forced me to think about why I was upset. How could I have honestly been happy with my performance if all it took to make me freak out was a light-hearted jab? Anyway, I probably think too much.

I don't know why, but I feel a bit of a mess this morning. We put up Christmas decorations last night, and had a few wines. I tell the story of a few various faux pas that I've made in my life, one when I was much younger, and another that was just the other day. I make the same mistakes, but I hope with age, the scale at least decreases.

Great episode to mark one year of the podcast! I talk about the Victorian election, and the privileged it was to witness one of the major figures in Victorian Politics doing drugs on election night. It's insane the level of egomaniac that is drawn to politics in the first place, I mean who names a whole party after themselves? Clive Palmer? Yuck. You're all stupid. Everyone except me.

Melbourne Comedy needs some new traditions, and Blake and I may have just come up with one while sniffing amyl in our kitchen at 4am on Sunday morning. Drinking has been affecting my mood lately, I reckon. It's annoying, I don't know how to say no to people. This week I yell about that a little too.

These woodchip dudes cutting down the tree out the back of our house are wayyyyy too comfortable fucking around with chainsaws. I just ate some bacon that may have been off, and my meditation app fucked up this morning, I shouldn't really be in a good mood, but somehow by the end of this podcast, I am! Mufasa Forever!

It's been raining like crazy all morning and I've been sitting in my lounge room recording this, I couldn't be happier! Dragon Dreaming at the weekend was AMAZING!! I watched a group of guys steal some hippie's boat while high on ketamine, did an amazing show, and got punched in the face by a lady on the train back from NSW - what a time to be alive.
