A.B. Original are joined by Paul Kelly himself for a cover of his 1988 hit 'Dumb Things' for Like A Version. Subscribe: http://tripj.net/151BPk6 Like A Version is a segment on Australian radio station triple j. Every Friday morning a musician or band comes into the studio to play one of their own songs and a cover of a song they love. Maybe you've heard but Beeso knows one of these dudes. He's pretty quiet about it though

In which Beeso and the Doc discuss a protocol for Monster Magnets, sex 'n' drugs 'n' more sex 'n' more drugs, Dawso's Pintara, Top Trumps, Not Gangsta Rap, occupying space, the magic word, the Doc's sure-fire guide to making a great comeback album and the perils of middle-aged bloat. Then, our Special Metallica Correspondent @adamhfoto joins the discussion on baroque-ass shit, CHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG, more Lars than class, demanding 50% off, prisoners of history, Reverse Patreon, Beeso drops a clanger, Triple M Like A Version, the deeper point of JJJ, Smooth FM, the Australian national anthem, lounging the fuck out of it, Paul Kelly as legal currency, get off the line there's a train coming, shithouse for a reason, unwokeness alerts and character acting.

CHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG CHUGGACHUG (repeat until close)
