The LinkedIn Episode feat. Tom

Speaker 1 Mates, in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, US, Canada, we have a brand new show we are taking out called Drem. I think it's our best show to date.
Tickets at tour.auntydonna.com.

Speaker 1 A listener production.

Speaker 1 I don't know how to describe this episode.

Speaker 1 I will apologize, but I hope you enjoy it. This is the most out out there, but also the best podcast we've ever done.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to say what it is. Enjoy it.
Follow on the podcast, on the Patreon.

Speaker 1 Enjoy!

Speaker 1 Welcome.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Auntie Donna podcast. Hello, everyone.
It's so nice for you to be here in the Caribbean, where we're on a holiday. Two things you need to know.
Tom Zahari is here, composer. Hello.

Speaker 1 And Zach found out just before we started recording that both myself and Tom have

Speaker 1 LinkedIns. I just found out that everyone has LinkedIns.
I'm the only member of Auntie Donna that doesn't have a LinkedIn. But I don't use the LinkedIn.
Sure.

Speaker 1 I always see you, now I see you every time we're at the airport. You go, oh, and you see people going into the lounge.
You're like, oh, hey, buddy.

Speaker 1 I purely had it because when I started the footy pot, I'll be like, we're good for networking in that world.

Speaker 1 And now I hate it. I truly hate it.
I want to get on LinkedIn. I want to go, oh, very good.
I made some great work today with the production company. And everyone goes, oh, very good.
Congrats.

Speaker 1 Congrats.

Speaker 1 Anyway.

Speaker 1 We're here because Mark has...

Speaker 1 What are we doing going with today? I don't know. A picture.

Speaker 1 Mark is not here, but Zach and I have brought you in and we're paying you $1,500. Oh, wow.
Stoked.

Speaker 1 Unsure about that.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 to get you in as a composer, because Zach and I wanted to write Mark a song to say welcome back next week. Welcome back, Mark.
So when Mark comes back, he's been away for this week.

Speaker 1 We thought it'd be cute to give him a little sing song.

Speaker 1 And then maybe he can upload it. You can all upload it it to your linkedin you need to you need to genuinely chill the fuck out about the linkedin

Speaker 1 you just all making connections i can business world all i did is i went to linkedin zach yeah don't prosecute me and it had a thing where you could either create an account or you could sign in using your you know you using google i clicked sign in with google it added all my emails and that's swaps oopsies that's it

Speaker 1 typical you guys have betrayed me i thought we were cool I thought we were

Speaker 1 riding together only on the cool platforms like TikTok and Instagram. We don't have time for connecting with business partners.

Speaker 1 We are cool, but we still need to make connections in the business world. No,

Speaker 1 I'm only about making art. Making art like funny pictures on Instagram.

Speaker 1 Now, listen.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Are you happy to move on and do this song? Yeah.
It can be about LinkedIn. It can be.
No, I don't want to make it about LinkedIn. I don't know what LinkedIn is.
It can be passively aggressive.

Speaker 1 I just imagine LinkedIn is people doing this. This is what I imagine LinkedIn is because I've never been on LinkedIn.
This is what I imagine it's like.

Speaker 1 Exciting day at the conference today. I made some great connections and people were loving the pens we were giving out.
Ha ha, those pens are fantastic. Where can I get one? Just send me a DM.

Speaker 1 I can send you a pack. Ha Ha ha, great pens.
Congrats. It was great to see you.
These are the comments.

Speaker 1 Is that a good riff on LinkedIn? Oh, very good, yeah.

Speaker 1 Not quite right, but... Well, then what's your LinkedIn, Tom? Go, play the music into LinkedIn.

Speaker 1 Hi, I'm Tom. This is my qualifications, and here's an article I've written about using Splice to make music.

Speaker 1 Okay, and now, Broden, you do your impression of LinkedIn.

Speaker 1 Huge September for the Footy with Broden podcast. 200,000 listeners this September.
Thanks so much for tuning in. We're going on to bigger and better things every footy season.

Speaker 1 Have you done posts like that? That's the one I did.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Makes me sick that I did it.

Speaker 1 I love it. You think you know it, guys? What a hustler.
What a hustler.

Speaker 1 He's got a hustle in him.

Speaker 1 Are you happy to keep doing the podcast now knowing that I have a LinkedIn that I haven't touched, by the way,

Speaker 1 in eight months?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no, that's fine. I'm happy to move on.
We don't have to talk about LinkedIn anymore. I feel like it's low, like you're talking in a way that it's changed things.
It's going to be a thing.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. I just.

Speaker 1 Let's move on. Let's move on.
Oh, something feels wrong here.

Speaker 1 No, I just.

Speaker 1 You really posted that?

Speaker 1 I mean in the footy world that's how you build out a brand in that footy world. Obviously in our world, we come in and do spoofs and gags.

Speaker 1 There's not a real mind to commercialism here, but in that footy world, sure.

Speaker 1 Now we're going to write a song or yeah, yeah, let's write a song. Now, what kind of fun song can we have for Mark? I mean, I'll also have a linked in.
I'll have a linked in eventually.

Speaker 1 You know, when I'm looking for that RMIT job,

Speaker 1 RMIT job. Do you guys all leave me for your high-flying CFO roles?

Speaker 1 I don't think I'll ever go for a chief financial officer role in any business act. That's not my...
I don't think you did maths in your tenure, right? So

Speaker 1 chief financial officer, you need to do lots of maths. You need to bring that up for, cunt? Because you need to do lots of maths.

Speaker 1 That's not your strength. Guys,

Speaker 1 I have a strength. LinkedIn is tearing us apart.
You're tearing us apart. I've had the LinkedIn for a while.
I don't use it.

Speaker 1 I think we should never talk about LinkedIn ever again from this moment on. I just want to say one thing because I've opened LinkedIn up.
Yeah, yeah. And I'm not friends with Mark on it.

Speaker 1 And so I can connect with Mark and it says, do I want to add a little note? Maybe I could reach out to Mark with a little note. Oh, yeah, you could say something like,

Speaker 1 hi, love your work with Auntie Donna. Would love to connect sometime and pick your brains about the industry.
That's good, Zach. You should get on LinkedIn.

Speaker 1 If I got on LinkedIn, I would fucking smash.

Speaker 1 I want to see you do a LinkedIn post about your successful side podcast, Mission Mission Zach podcast. I'm going to make a LinkedIn.
I'm going to make a LinkedIn.

Speaker 1 No, I really don't want to make a LinkedIn. All right, I've sent the message to Mark.
Hopefully he replies. I feel like Zach would hyper-focus in on it.

Speaker 1 And you'd like to get into it. I think the way he's going about it now, what this is, is actually a perfect way to springboard into LinkedIn by bringing that audience over with him.

Speaker 1 There's all of a sudden this fun audience who are engaging with him, liking him. And then someone from Nike's like, that guy, Zach, he's really engaged on this LinkedIn platform.

Speaker 1 I'm going to make him a brand ambassador for Nike. Really? There's people from Nike on LinkedIn?

Speaker 1 Are we doing a fucking song? Tom drove here. It's not close to his house.
No, it's not. 40 minutes away.
Wow. Wow.
Well, you've just doxed yourself within the 40-kilometer radius of South Melbourne.

Speaker 1 Now people know you live in the greater Melbourne area.

Speaker 1 Borderline.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah. I do think it would be funny to start a LinkedIn, make that a running joke on the podcast, but I don't think I could be bothered.
I'll let you know next podcast if I've done it.

Speaker 1 But it's really, like, if I'm being really honest, it has damaged this episode to this point. Like, all we're talking about is

Speaker 1 LinkedIn. I mean, there's a reason I don't have a LinkedIn.
I think it would eat the part of my soul. Yeah, no, I feel less of a person for having one.
And I don't even open it.

Speaker 1 And I feel sick for having it. No, I think it's, you go connect with those footy people.
Well, it's added no help. It's not helped at all, I don't think.

Speaker 1 The one thing is, you get so much spam after you sign up for LinkedIn. It is like awful.
Like every day, there's people

Speaker 1 lots of people like AI companies sign emails. I did turn it all off.
AI people are annoying on LinkedIn. Yeah, and they're saying that is a shock to me.
We can help you connect with your customers.

Speaker 1 Call us back, Tom. Call us back.
Did they tell you that AI is the future? Yeah, they do, yeah. Wow.

Speaker 1 Let's never talk of LinkedIn again, unless I do start on LinkedIn and I'll let you know next podcast because

Speaker 1 I'll let you know. Okay, well, let's put that to one side and say, Tom, make us a song for Mark.
Okay, I'm thinking it should be hyper pop because that's what Mark likes. Yeah.
Like this.

Speaker 1 This is hyper pop? No. It's bossa nova.

Speaker 1 Get rid of the bossa nova part.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is good. This is good.
This is a good opening. Okay.
All right, can you record my.

Speaker 1 I'll write something here. You're going to write some little bit.
You're going to play me a bit of this. Okay, give me two secs.
The internet's dropped out. What's the song about? Like, what's it?

Speaker 1 How we. It's about Mark.
It's about Mark. Yeah.
It's welcome. It's welcome back, Mark.
It's welcome back, Mark. Welcome back, Mark.

Speaker 1 Mark. Mark.

Speaker 1 Welcome.

Speaker 1 Wait, I...

Speaker 1 Oh, this is good.

Speaker 1 Let it roll. Let it just roll and have the vibe just pop it.
Okay. Let me find a bit of info on Mark Banana.
I I don't have internet. Mark Bonano.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You need to Google information about Mark Bonana. I wanted it to be cold and factual.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Mark, member of comedy group Auntie Donna, exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their unique brand of surreal comedy. Yeah, this is good.
This is very... Yeah, I like this.
Mark Bonanno.

Speaker 1 He has, in the past, has

Speaker 1 Twitch streamed, he has written short films and

Speaker 1 featured in comedy series.

Speaker 1 This is giving um

Speaker 1 this is giving like

Speaker 1 post.

Speaker 1 I've seen a lot of theater like this back when I went to theater, operas and theater, like post Einstein on the beach vibes.

Speaker 1 Give me a few things. When you first think of Mark, what are some of the things that pop into your head? Beard.
Beard.

Speaker 1 Next. Security stops at the airport.
Security stops at the airport. Always moved to the side and bomb-checked.
Yeah, he always bomb-checked.

Speaker 1 No shoes. Okay, beard, bomb, no shoes.
Alright, now, so raw feet. Raw feet.
Raw feet. Yeah, raw feet.
No shoes. Raw feet.
Raw feet.

Speaker 1 Beard, bomb, raw feet. No, you wouldn't describe no shoes as raw feet.
No, I wouldn't. Well, how would you describe those shoes? Barefoot.
Barefoot.

Speaker 1 Beard, bomb, bear. Bear, beard, bomb.
Bear, beard, bomb. Bees.
BBB. Banano.
Bear, beard, bomb, bare, bib, bomb, beba bomb, baba bomb beba bomb all right. All right, can you, Tom? Yeah, Mark's gonna.

Speaker 1 Look, we're making something good here, man. Broden's gonna do the intro where he talks about Mark's life, and then I want you to kick into something.

Speaker 1 Okay, I've decided that was too sad before, so now it's gonna be upbeat and fun. But vibey, and it's got to be a bit viby-shoes, vibey, baby.
All right, all right, bro. Are you ready with the facts?

Speaker 1 And then you let me know when we kick it, kick it up. Okay, bear a bomb.
And if you're listening, welcome to Behind the Scenes in How Magic is Made.

Speaker 1 All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 Mark Bonanno was born in 1988, a creator of alternative sketch comedy as a member of comedy group Auntie Donna.

Speaker 1 They exploded onto the scene in 2012 with a unique brand of surreal comedy.

Speaker 1 Mark Bonano is a down-down down with the palm. And you gotta take it like this is how we play.

Speaker 1 Gotta play together with the bed bamboo.

Speaker 1 Mark Bonanno was born in 1988.

Speaker 1 He's a member of comedy group Auntie Donna. Their work can be seen online through YouTube or other social media platforms.

Speaker 1 Bear bim bomb in the town on the street. Just cut it there.

Speaker 1 That's good. The bare bim bomb thing

Speaker 1 is.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think Bim doesn't worry. I'm going to go back to Bear Beard Bomb.
Bear Beard Bomb. Bear Beard Bomb.
What are we trying to achieve with the Bear Beard?

Speaker 1 Trying to

Speaker 1 sort of move away from logic. I'm trying to paint a picture of Mark.
What else is Mark? That's exactly what exists outside of narrative and exists.

Speaker 1 So, you know,

Speaker 1 people would, when they think of Mark, they're going to try and reduce him. I'm trying to reduce Mark.
And I'm also trying to

Speaker 1 obviously, I'm trying to have the audience hear the song and see Mark anew.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 So I don't want them to fully understand everything we're saying all at once. Yep.
In fact, I think I agree. Bearbeard Bomb doesn't work because it's too literal.
Well, let's go to the next verse.

Speaker 1 Let's keep Bearbeard Bomb for a bit. And also at some point, I want to run that through something, Tom.
Yeah. And

Speaker 1 get really hard,

Speaker 1 really hard,

Speaker 1 really hard sort of

Speaker 1 dick.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 no.

Speaker 1 Music, you know, like really hard music. Sure, where you make it, where you make it fit the tune.
Auto-tune. Auto-tune.

Speaker 1 Fair beer bump. All right, next verse, Broden.

Speaker 1 How else do we capture who Mark is?

Speaker 1 Mark.

Speaker 1 What does Mark love?

Speaker 1 He loves like rum and noodles. That's true.
I'm interested as well in the gap between.

Speaker 1 So he used to love Star Wars. He doesn't love Star Wars anymore.
It let him down.

Speaker 1 I'm not interested in the part that is Star Wars. I'm not interested in the love for Star Wars or the lack of love.
I'm interested in that space between.

Speaker 1 You know, the way the love no longer lives.

Speaker 1 The love missing. not the dislike emerging.

Speaker 1 Does this make sense? You want to perform this to Mark next week when he comes back? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I think I have an idea. Okay.
We're keeping Bear Beard Bomb or are we moving on to the next verse? Bear Beard Bomb is the first versus the next verse. Okay, great.

Speaker 1 And do I just jump straight in or do you have some...

Speaker 1 No, I think you go for it.

Speaker 1 From the top? Yeah, from the top. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Can you leave...

Speaker 1 Go back.

Speaker 1 What's happening? You're doing the fact. Mark Berano was born in 1988, a member of comedy group Auntie Donna, known for their unique brand of sketch comedy.
They exploded onto the scene in 2012.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're going to go from the top. That was the top.
Yeah, but I missed when I was meant to come in.

Speaker 1 It's a new verse for you. Okay, that's good.
That's good. All right.
I like this. That's cool.
All right, go back from the top. Go back from the top.
I got this.

Speaker 1 Bit of UKG. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Mark Bonano was born in 1988. He exploded onto the scene with a unique brand of sketch comedy.

Speaker 1 He's got beard

Speaker 1 and barefoot and bomb. Bad bit bombs, that's what you are.
You'll wear it on your face.

Speaker 1 A bad bit bomb, a bad bit bomb. Take it away, you know what it is.
You're the bad bit bomb. I'm interested

Speaker 1 in the space between

Speaker 1 what once was

Speaker 1 and what remains.

Speaker 1 That's good, Zach.

Speaker 1 Sorts of light,

Speaker 1 swords of light.

Speaker 1 I'm interested in what once was and what remains.

Speaker 1 Back to the chorus: Bad Bit Bomb,

Speaker 1 Baby Bomb,

Speaker 1 What remains of the Baby Bomb?

Speaker 1 I see you.

Speaker 1 Don't be afraid.

Speaker 1 Pause.

Speaker 1 I think this is a work of art. This is truly not far off a

Speaker 1 hyper pop song.

Speaker 1 Wow. All right, so that's one song.
Yeah. I think we start another one.
That recording we have there. Linz, we want to cut that up and have that ready for next week.
Just to play for him next week.

Speaker 1 We're going to write another song, but this time I want to go back to our roots.

Speaker 1 Country and Western.

Speaker 1 Beautiful, Brighton. Beautiful, beautiful.
Country and Western, almost the opposite. Where before we were trying to paint a picture, an abstract picture, trying to take the inside and bring it out.

Speaker 1 Country and Western, famously, is a genre, has relationships to bluegrass, to folk,

Speaker 1 to all these different things. Storytelling, narrative is key.
A bit less I'm not there, a bit more the Chalamae Bob Dylan one.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 I'm just gonna freewheel this out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, go for it.

Speaker 1 Got a friend called Mart Bonano. That's good.
Doesn't I wear his shoes? My friend called Mart Bonano.

Speaker 1 He does jokes about poos.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 What happened?

Speaker 1 I had to change the tempo. I'm so sorry.
That's okay. That was good, though, Broder.
Did you like that? Yeah, that was good. That was incredible, really.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna take it verse by verse. Yeah, you go, you do verse.
I think we try and you I'll leave you lope words to rhyme to, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got a friend called My Bonano.

Speaker 1 He does not wear his shoes. My banana always

Speaker 1 loves blues clues.

Speaker 1 I know my My Bonano from a place called Whereaby.

Speaker 1 And that's the only way he knows where to be Marbano

Speaker 1 He works hard

Speaker 1 My banano

Speaker 1 He does jokes about FUDs

Speaker 1 He knows it can be the hardest of journeys

Speaker 1 He knows it can be harder than you can see

Speaker 1 My banano

Speaker 1 He did not come today

Speaker 1 My banano

Speaker 1 It makes me sad to say

Speaker 1 God loves you My banano

Speaker 1 God

Speaker 1 loves you My bonano

Speaker 1 God

Speaker 1 loves you

Speaker 1 Mike Bonano

Speaker 1 God loves you

Speaker 1 Bring it down now Got a friend called Mark Bonano Met him out back ballarat

Speaker 1 Down by the gravy spot He put a sock on on his sack. He's a little man,

Speaker 1 got a big heart,

Speaker 1 works hard every day.

Speaker 1 That's my banana.

Speaker 1 Got a beard, got no shoes. Gotta loves to show blue sclues.

Speaker 1 He's my banana.

Speaker 1 God loves you

Speaker 1 my bonado

Speaker 1 Marano

Speaker 1 Marbono

Speaker 1 my bonado

Speaker 1 Margonado

Speaker 1 Samuel

Speaker 1 My Bonano My banana. My banana.

Speaker 1 This is great. That's it.
That's it. Yeah.
It's a hit.

Speaker 1 So that's what that's two. I think we make an album of

Speaker 1 because the next one I'd like, still in this sort of range, I want to go a little more folky. I want to go a little bit Jeff Buckley.
Okay. Oh.

Speaker 1 See what I can find here. A little bit.
I don't know if that's folk. I don't think folk's quite the right.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 Maybe like a pussy rock. Oh, this is in the right realm.

Speaker 1 This is a little bonny verb. Yeah, but bonny verb's great too.
Yeah, this is good too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't know I could get that high. Oh, yeah.
Of course you can, bro. Great range.

Speaker 1 You can get that.

Speaker 1 All right. All right, give me a sec.
Sorry, you're rushing. Are you rushing a genius? No, no, that's okay.
No, no. And we'll do a verse each as well this time.
I can start this one. Okay.

Speaker 1 Then we'll go from there. I have a little request for this one.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll let you lead this one. If you could somehow get in there, I think it would be he'd appreciate his LinkedIn.
Yeah, yeah, get reference to his LinkedIn.

Speaker 1 He made them laugh

Speaker 1 while he did cry.

Speaker 1 But he needed to make

Speaker 1 connections in the industry

Speaker 1 to make them see,

Speaker 1 make not see.

Speaker 1 That's why he went in

Speaker 1 my LinkedIn

Speaker 1 LinkedIn Robin

Speaker 1 Blanche, LinkedIn Robins I know you're afraid

Speaker 1 to go there

Speaker 1 because you

Speaker 1 don't know where

Speaker 1 it's beautiful

Speaker 1 it won't go

Speaker 1 Maranano

Speaker 1 make those connections

Speaker 1 You're gonna be

Speaker 1 while you cry

Speaker 1 It's time to go sing

Speaker 1 Great

Speaker 1 That one was good that was really moving Wow how long does that album have to be

Speaker 1 I think that fades it out. That fades out.
So like

Speaker 1 that's after we do a bit of LinkedIn, you just put that over the top of that. So it'd be like

Speaker 1 And then if you can quickly just get one prolonged fart at the end. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Always. A squeaky light one.
A squeaky light one? Yeah,

Speaker 1 Jeff Buckley-esque.

Speaker 1 Too loud.

Speaker 1 Softer. Yeah, that one.

Speaker 1 That one. That one.
Yeah, so just at the end. We'll give you a few bars of the pan flute.
Yep. And then into that.

Speaker 1 And are we going to sing it again to record it, Jeff?

Speaker 1 Yeah, alright, alright, alright. Alright, let's start with no drums, no pan flute.
All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 There was a boy

Speaker 1 made them laugh

Speaker 1 sit at home and cried.

Speaker 1 He wanted to know

Speaker 1 what life was like

Speaker 1 in the world

Speaker 1 of sin

Speaker 1 Is I know

Speaker 1 for LinkedIn

Speaker 1 LinkedIn proper

Speaker 1 Newell Mapanoo

Speaker 1 My banana

Speaker 1 Marbonano

Speaker 1 Marano

Speaker 1 Mafonano.

Speaker 1 That's good. It's really good.
That's really good.

Speaker 1 What's the next genre for our album?

Speaker 1 I want to know what it'd be like with just a guitar, a bass guitar, drums, and a big rock voice. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. This feels like a segment on who's line.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 and I think I think it's a good idea here

Speaker 1 to talk about

Speaker 1 the fact Mark thinks he's not a good improviser.

Speaker 1 Right. But he's one of the best.
I would say he's the best.

Speaker 1 And there's nothing I love more than

Speaker 1 not engaging while he goes on a rant because I love a Mark rant. I love a Mark improv.
And I think maybe just something letting him know that we love his improv. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I have something. Great,

Speaker 1 it might not suit. Isn't it crazy the speed of the man? Ah, insane.
We do what we can. No, no, you do more than most

Speaker 1 is good.

Speaker 1 Something like

Speaker 1 a bit skew made, a bit some 41, I would say. Yeah,

Speaker 1 all right.

Speaker 1 Know a man who tells a lot of lies. He's the best when you improvise.

Speaker 1 His name is Marbonano. Improvising is what he knows.
My bonano.

Speaker 1 Mark Bonano,

Speaker 1 Mark Bonano.

Speaker 1 Mar Bonano,

Speaker 1 Mark Bonano. I'll just pause it there.
Yeah. Are you finding that saying Marbonano is a crutch? Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, me too, because I don't know what to say, so I'll just start repeating.

Speaker 1 And I've been doing that for most of the song. No, no, absolutely.
Absolutely. But that one wasn't me just saying Mark Bonano.
What it was was Mark Bonano, Mark Bonano, Mark Bonano Impro.

Speaker 1 Because that rhymes with, bonano rhymes with impro. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Because we could make it a little more complicated. We could go where I was going, Mark Bonano, Mark Bonano, Mark Bonano, Impro, you could go,

Speaker 1 I know a guy, his name's Mark Bonano, and he's the best, and he doesn't know it.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I think what we just recorded is a bit of a

Speaker 1 Miles. What's his name? The trumpet.
Miles Davis.

Speaker 1 We nailed it. Great.
Next song. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'd love something a little more in the realm of La Rue,

Speaker 1 Robin,

Speaker 1 Cynthia, mid-2000s.

Speaker 1 We're in uni. We're in uni.
Lady Hawk. Lady Hawk was more rock.

Speaker 1 But no, I know what you mean. A bit Latigre, dare I say? Lady Grey.
Also a bit rock.

Speaker 1 But you know what we're saying?

Speaker 1 Cynthia pop rock. Sure.

Speaker 1 Oh, I got that. That's something faster.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's in the world. But like a good drum as well.
Like, what was that?

Speaker 1 That's it. That's it.

Speaker 1 The knife. The knife.
The knife. Okay, let's work to that.
Now, what could this song be about, Zach? We're making an album for Mark songs to play him. To make him just feel good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's got great style.

Speaker 1 Style. Yeah.
He's a very stylish guy. I once stole a suit of his.
Wore it around for a while.

Speaker 1 He's got great style. You once

Speaker 1 stole a suit of his, wore it around for a while. He's got great style.

Speaker 1 I once stole a suit. Wore it round for a while.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I wore it round. And is that just a refrain we do? Yeah, that's the chorus, I think.

Speaker 1 Mark Bonanno, he's got great style. Stole his suit, wore it round for a while.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But,

Speaker 1 you know, we don't have to say Mark Bonanno in every song. Well, this we haven't.
Have we? Yeah, we have. Okay.
Yeah, absolutely. I know a guy who's got good style.
Yeah. His name's Mark Bonano.

Speaker 1 Wore his suit round for a while.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, we.

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 all right I think I can do a verse here

Speaker 1 what's that trumpet

Speaker 1 I like that it is a little Justin Timberlake but I don't mind it well then you take it away you go I know a man called Marbanano

Speaker 1 he has lots of style that is what I know

Speaker 1 I know a man his name is Marbanano he's got great style wore a suit around for a little while

Speaker 1 My banana, yeah, he wears different things.

Speaker 1 Things about his brand and where his pens could gi a fling.

Speaker 1 That man, my banano, he wears cool clothes.

Speaker 1 And that, for that, I don't loathe.

Speaker 1 Style, substance, fun,

Speaker 1 fashion, fashion, style, substance, my banana, fashion, she's got great style.

Speaker 1 I'll put a joke here for you. Let's say a joke.
Let's never learn a joke.

Speaker 1 Passion. Passion.
Style. Substance.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 1 Now, my concern now

Speaker 1 is obviously we're doing, releasing this as an album. Yeah.
Obviously, we're pushing and pushing and doing a big push for the album. My problem is when are we doing the

Speaker 1 Because the issue here is, I'm so glad you brought this up. The issue here is we've got an tour.
We need to pay for it. We can't push both things at once.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, I think we need to prioritise this album.

Speaker 1 I think that's a genuine banger, that one. Yeah, that's sick.

Speaker 1 Can we go? That's made me go. That was 2000s doing 80s.
Can we go straight back? Can we go all the way back to the 80s? Bit of Tears for Fears. Oh, yeah.
A bit of Pet Shop Boys. A bit of

Speaker 1 arrhythmics. Oh, we could do that.
That's got to take on me. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is fun. What is it about, though?

Speaker 1 Well, I think we need to... We touched on it in the other song, but this is a concept album.
So we touched on it in the other song.

Speaker 1 This is the song about the fact that Mark is normal height and you and I are taller than you'd think.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. And this will be

Speaker 1 the second to last song because we do need to end on a ballad. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we'll do it. What you've listened to, and we'll do it in the intro, but this is a concept where you are a live creation of an album.
It's a concept podcast. And we didn't know.

Speaker 1 What's amazing is, you know, a lot of people would think,

Speaker 1 oh, this is so cool to hear the germ of ideas. No, no, we will be releasing these tracks as the cause.
It's Miles Davis is we're up to our eyeballs in heroin and we don't want to do second takes.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 it's apparently the last Beatles album was Let It Be.

Speaker 1 Apparently they just sent like these like

Speaker 1 tapes to their producer. And the reason there's so many strings is like, I don't know what to do with this fucking shit.

Speaker 1 Let's try this. I haven't listened to it.

Speaker 1 I think I can take this. Take it.

Speaker 1 I knew a man, he was taller than you'd think.

Speaker 1 He was surrounded by two men that were taller.

Speaker 1 Two men, a six foot tall. One man, a five ten Everyone thinks that they were normal

Speaker 1 What is normal?

Speaker 1 He's got the same size

Speaker 1 as Zach

Speaker 1 E4 that the man

Speaker 1 doesn't lack. Here we go.

Speaker 1 I know a man that was taller than you think.

Speaker 1 He went to town and made you taller drinks.

Speaker 1 He'd like to sing and make a happy time.

Speaker 1 Baby door, baby dog. But he did not know what to be sublime.

Speaker 1 Dark

Speaker 1 is normal height.

Speaker 1 Brother

Speaker 1 and Zach are taller than that

Speaker 1 My brother

Speaker 1 is taller than height

Speaker 1 He's just surrounded by men that are taller than they look I know that

Speaker 1 you

Speaker 1 are afraid

Speaker 1 But it's

Speaker 1 gonna

Speaker 1 be okay

Speaker 1 It's gonna be okay

Speaker 1 Gonna be okay

Speaker 1 He's taller than okay

Speaker 1 We're all gonna be okay

Speaker 1 We're gonna be okay

Speaker 1 He's taller than okay

Speaker 1 We're gonna be okay

Speaker 1 We're gonna be okay Two men are six foot one Gonna be okay, or gonna be okay

Speaker 1 One man is taller than you think and gonna

Speaker 1 be okay.

Speaker 1 Wow. Now,

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 it's the worst thing we've ever done. No, I love it.

Speaker 1 No, I think there's this. Oh, this.

Speaker 1 Like, the idea of anyone sitting and listening to this. I think give us...
If we had two days.

Speaker 1 Two days with this genius sitting across from me,

Speaker 1 we could make this a listenable album.

Speaker 1 Two days, two,

Speaker 1 yellow,

Speaker 1 okay. I went a bit bowie there, or like you know, reminiscent to bowie.
I really would listen to most of the songs, most of the songs so far. I would listen to

Speaker 1 if they weren't about LinkedIn.

Speaker 1 Hey, Mark,

Speaker 1 Mark,

Speaker 1 Bon

Speaker 1 Bonano.

Speaker 1 This has been a concept album

Speaker 1 about Mark

Speaker 1 Bonano

Speaker 1 I remember when I saw you first

Speaker 1 at Ballarat

Speaker 1 I didn't know how good you were

Speaker 1 at jokes and that

Speaker 1 Mark Bonano We made this album for you

Speaker 1 to tell you how smart and clever stylish, and funny you are.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm so deep in this comedy world now that

Speaker 1 I don't know where the joke is exactly because you are smart and talented and this music is good. I guess it's the fact that we're only getting one tape.

Speaker 1 Goodbye to

Speaker 1 Monk Bo

Speaker 1 Nano

Speaker 1 Goodbye Monk Bo

Speaker 1 Marano

Speaker 1 Higher, higher

Speaker 1 There's another voice there, just gonna figure out what that's doing and then I'll go higher.

Speaker 1 What are they saying?

Speaker 1 I thought we were gonna say mark banana there.

Speaker 1 What are they saying?

Speaker 1 Trying to clear your mind, I think.

Speaker 1 I just

Speaker 1 can't deal with it.

Speaker 1 Bye-bye. Alright.
Maybe a rap? Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, and then I'll.

Speaker 1 I'll go high right at the end. So let's get the rap in.
Let's do a bit a bit. This is a 12-minute song, but yeah, no, this is a deliberately long one so that you can't burn the CD.

Speaker 1 Ah, yeah.

Speaker 1 J-E-S-U-S-M-A-R-K.

Speaker 1 That spells Jesus, mom.

Speaker 1 Would you let me go? No, you never come back. I'ma be the best that you never never had.
I'ma kick back when you fake like that. Head out of the game, I don't take that fact.

Speaker 1 This is for you, mom.

Speaker 1 Mark and girl,

Speaker 1 about

Speaker 1 to

Speaker 1 mock four.

Speaker 1 None of who this concept album's about. Goodbye tonight tomorrow

Speaker 1 and safe travels on your journey.

Speaker 1 Now's the time.

Speaker 1 You do a bit of goodbye and then I'll come here.

Speaker 1 Goodbye

Speaker 1 to

Speaker 1 Mark

Speaker 1 Bo.

Speaker 1 Goodbye to

Speaker 1 Mark

Speaker 1 Bo

Speaker 1 Goodbye to

Speaker 1 Mark Boo

Speaker 1 Mark, this is for you, brother.

Speaker 1 Thanks for being such a great comedy companion.

Speaker 1 That was a concept album for you.

Speaker 1 Do you like that? Because I know we were being vague and non-didactic and, you know, like all that kind of stuff. Saying at the end that this is what it was.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm excited to hear his thoughts on it next week. So

Speaker 1 is the next episode playing this podcast episode to him or

Speaker 1 maybe

Speaker 1 we play a song to him. We don't maybe have to.

Speaker 1 Maybe he has to listen to it before. Or maybe we could play the song to him, but we can just edit it out for the listener.
So

Speaker 1 he gets to listen to the whole song, but the listener just hears the best bits. Yeah, maybe he listens to him in his ears, and it's us commentating him listening to them.
Yes, yeah. He listens.

Speaker 1 He doesn't hear our commentary. We talk over it.
We'll set something like that up. Yeah.
So Tom will come in.

Speaker 1 We'll play them in his ears. A listening party.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm, I

Speaker 1 honestly, like, I wanted, I want Mark to like this, but also, having done it, I actually don't give a fuck what the fuck he thinks. I know that's a fucking work of art.
That's brilliant.

Speaker 1 It's brilliant.

Speaker 1 It's so good. It is good.
I liked it, actually. It was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 I would like to apologize to our audience, though. Oh, yeah, no, no, no, not for them.

Speaker 1 I think one of them should be the new theme song.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay, cowboy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it's a bit weird, though, to have an 80s-style

Speaker 1 song I my concern is having

Speaker 1 having a song in the style of 80s queer dance anthems about Mark's height as the Auntie Donna

Speaker 1 opening music might confuse listeners as to I don't want to throw it out though Okay, I'm not going to throw it out. I'm not going to throw it out.
We'll talk about that with Mark next week.

Speaker 1 But also, for the listener,

Speaker 1 it will be next week for us too, because we don't bank them. Have a great week.

Speaker 1 Close us out with

Speaker 1 this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 This symbol of a rap.

Speaker 1 See you later.

Speaker 1 You've been listening to the Auntie Donner podcast. Thanks for joining us for another rip episode brought to you by Auntie DonnerClub.com.
See you next week.
