This was a fun installment of my podcast with Chris Leben because he brought in some comedy material he’s been working on and I got to tear it apart.

Well fear not, kiddies; here at Tom Ballard Industries ©, we’ve got the PERFECT ideal great solution for YOU!
YES YOU THERE!
After extensive research, our crack team of research science robots have discovered a 100% effective strategy for ensuring that you don’t become annoyed by the people you follow on Twitter who you find annoying or unfunny or annoying in some way. Just follow the super-user-friendly step-by-step instructions below and we guarantee you’ll notice your life and idle internetting time improve IMMEDIATELY.
AS IN RIGHT AWAY, YOU GUYS!
Step #1 —> Locate a tweet from a person that you voluntarily elected to follow that annoys you/fails to amuse you/challenges you/confuses you.
Step #2 —> Click on the person who is responsible for said bad tweet and go to their profile page.
Step #3 —> Hover your cursor over the blue rectangle which reads FOLLOWING. The rectangle will turn red, giving you the option of UNFOLLOWING.
(NB: You can move your cursor with the aid of your fingers, which make up part of your hands, located at the ends of each of your arms. For more info, click here)
Step #4 —> Click the mouse, initiating the UNFOLLOWING process. The profile of the annoying person should now look like this:
BE WARNED, do NOT click the FOLLOW option again, otherwise you will just get annoyed or confused by their tweets again.
Step #5 —> You are now unfollowing the person that annoyed you with their tweets. This means you will not see their tweets anymore as their tweets will not appear in your feed because you are no longer following them. GREAT JOB!!!
(WARNING: You may be overcome with a sensation to post a tweet informing your own followers of your recent activity in regards to unfollowing the annoying person on the free internet social media site.
You should really ignore this impulse, as no one gives a fuck)
Step #6 —> Live the rest of your life happily.
I got to go on The Little Dum Dum Club podcast with my very nice’n'funny friends, Tommy Dassalo, Karl Chandler and Anne Edmonds.

Sometimes I like to get drunk with my friend Mel Buttle and make videos.
I’ve started a podcast with my nice (if somewhat unlucky) friend Chris Leben (pictured above in cartoon form). It’s called Poor Chris and it’s all about how things don’t always work out for him and how I make fun of that.
It’s totes free. You can can check it out on podbean here, or via itunes here.
I’m MCing a fundraiser for the brilliant organisation ACON on Wednesday 9th November from 7:30pm at the Ritz Cinema in Randwick.
It’s going to be crazy fun! There’s going to be a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, plus my lovely friend Brendan Maclean is going to sing a few of his nice songs like this:
It’ll be a jolly good night for a jolly good cause. You can grab yourself some tickets here.
