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.

A big announcement this week, well two actually, and only one of them involves me going to Madrid to watch Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League Final. Fuck I am excited about that, but I'm also excited about the new direction I'm taking this podcast. Thanks to everyone who's been listening over the last 18 months, hopefully it's only going to get better from here!

On Saturday I went up to Exmouth in the North West of Australia and did a gig at the Froth Brewery there, it was one of the most beautiful places I've seen, and definitely one of the best places I've traveled to for comedy. Before the gig, the comic who set the show up took us out to go snorkeling on the reef and we swam with a turtle. I touched its shell, then all three of us swam behind it and stuck our middle fingers up at it, fuck off you stupid turtle. Didn't you know The Boys are here?!

This week I spent heaps of money on shit because I'm rich now. That's right, you heard, Pappa got MONEY!! Pappa also got some fillins in his teef... okay I'll stop. I'm really in a very good mood though, maybe it's the walk up a hill I did this morning, or maybe it's because life is good baby shut up and DANCE!!

My life is a movie, bullriding and boobies... that's right, a movie. Spurs won on Thursday morning, Melbourne Comedy Festival is done, and I had an amazing meal at San Telmo last night to celebrate. I almost cried before my ribs came out thinking about how great chefs are. Very emotional. No crying on the pod though, I'm not a pussy.

Saturday night I broke my month of sobriety, then bombed in front of a full house for an hour, came home at 10:30pm all sad and lonely, and bought a bunch of watches off Instagram. Three, to be precise. It didn't make me feel any better, but by the same token, it didn't make me feel any worse! And now I have three watches sailing across the seas to my door - they were supposed to be free, but as it happens, the postage was really quite expensive.

Last week was tough, this festival is tough, but around Thursday I made peace with the fact that this year is going to be different to last year, and I've just started having fun with the shows. Last night I had to wear a beard and eyepatch for my mate's gameshow, and boy did I hate it. I ended up having fun eventually, maybe I need to let myself be silly more often.

I'm in a bad mood, I think I've been letting the stress of Comedy Festival get me down. I've been worrying about ticket sales, and whether people like me. That's pretty much all I talked about this week, that and the sorry state of my Spotify Discover Weekly Playlist, which was honestly pathetic.

After thirteen days of sobriety and meditation I'm really starting to remember why I hated that Headspace cunt and his dumb voice back in October. I went to ArtVo on Friday after seeing Instagram people posting photos about it, but quickly realised it wasn't meant for 20-somethings on dates, more kids with their parents on school holidays. Still, who needs $28 anyway, eh?

I'm back on the sobriety tip, waking up early as fuck and feeling amazing, and so to counterbalance that positive feeling, I spent four hours yesterday on Instagram stalking influencers and inviting them to my Comedy Festival show. It was brutal. The comments. The chatter. The endless parade of photos, so much light, so much space, so many fit girls' asses. It is honestly maddening.

Fuck I'm so tired. I saw the Gipsy Kings last night at WOMAD, and am currently sitting in Adelaide Airport waiting to get my flight back home to Melbourne. Today the podcast was interrupted by six airport announcements, and four instances of my USB mic unplugging from my laptop. I am not having a good time today.
