*Furnace picks up his phone - someone has stepped on it! There’s a big shoe print on the screen* “Hey who stepped on my phone?” *Furnace checks each band member’s shoe soles to see whose print matches* “None of them match” *Furnace checks his own shoe print* Silence “Oh…”

*Tom burps loudly* Digby to Furnace “Why’d you teach him to burp? He does it all the time now” Tom “He didn’t teach me s**t! I just worked it out.” Furnace “You sound like a dog barking”

Tom has been unimpressed with Mike Drum Solo shirts for years as they’re not white enough Tom: “It’s not even white! It’s grey!” Mike: “You can hardly see the shirt under my jacket anyway!” Tom: “You look like a sad Santa Claus going to a school formal.”

Thanks for an amazing Christmas run everybody, happy holidays!

Everyone in the band is wearing red jackets Digby is wearing blue jacket Digby: “I guess everyone in the band wore the wrong jacket except me!” Mike: “I guess you blew yourself.”

Elliott: The intro fight to Beat It was great last night Marcus: Yeah! I kicked Tom a couple of times Tom: I didn’t notice anything Marcus: I did! I kicked your ankles Tom: ??

*State of Origin night* Hotel receptionist: “Are you here to watch the game?” Digby: “No. I’m here to check in.” Band: *Hahahahaha Digby that’s so rude!” Digby: “What?!” Hotel: “OK.” … Hotel: “So anyway here’s the info for when you come back from the game.”

*Matt the sound guy enters* Mike: Sorry Matt we ate all the food. It wasn’t that good anyway Matt: What was it? Mike: Old tough bread rolls, Tom ate all of them Tom: What?! Mike: You had 2! Marcus: I had 2 Mike: Tom had 2, Marcus had 2…and I only had 2! Marcus: …I had 3

We just read this old tweet and everyone laughed Then Furnace said “I just got it…I thought the joke was that he wasn’t one of the 3 amigos”

Band is still unimpressed with Mike Drum Solo shirts not being white enough Marcus: I wouldn’t even wipe my floor with that. It’s like a rag that’s had its day.

Elliott: To be clear, I always got it, just on rehearing I once again got fooled by not realising the three amigos is not the three tenors, and so I thought the joke was he wasn't one of the three tenors, if that makes sense. I knew my mistake at the time, just fooled again.

Band rehearsal: Mike: Which one shall we play? Digby: It depends what you choose. Let’s try on Saturday Elliott: Well it’s a choice. Digby: What do you mean? Elliott: That’s all it is. A choice. Digby: That’s what I’m saying Mike & Lach *make grape signal to each other*

Digby is drinking at dinner Tom notices it’s only been half drunk Tom: Did you just get another one? Digby: No it’s my first…it’s also my 9th

Pluto: What key is the song? Furnace: C Mike: Haha it’d be funny if they play in C then realise it’s not *Pluto & Digby play in C* Furnace: Oh no, it’s not in C. Pluto: It’s in F! Mike: HAHAHAHA *Pluto & Digby switch to F*

*Tom returns from holiday* Mike: Welcome back Tom! You missed some good gigs. And good jokes. *Later, Mike makes a pun* Tom: I certainly didn’t miss this sh*t.

*Digby, Tom & Pluto leave before lobby call time* *Elliott & Mike arrive at venue slightly late* Elliott: You left early, we were on time! Digby: But you got here late Elliott: Well we waited for you, like good people Digby: Where’s Marcus then? Elliott: Oh…we left him.
