Weakness for Bleakness

Episode 5 - ICE to Meet You, Lose You, and Find You on an Egg Farm in Ohio

Plagued by technical difficulties, the boys nevertheless manage to discuss the US's attempts to one-up Australian villainy in the immigration department before Darcy brings us another brief on language clarity.

In headlines: the Labor part conference standstill, the inner-city housing market dip, the starved public medical system and the prospect of getting a personal call from a man who once acted in a creamed corn commercial in 1987.

Episode 4 - Walk Rhymes

It's all market horror from an ill Kieran and gross sexual misconduct from a less ill but no less beleaguered Darcy in the headlines this week. But don't worry, because we wash that bitter pill down with a circuitous, despairing discussion of the Gaza massacre. All this bleakness is making me thirsty.

 

Also at one point Kieran calls Roger Ailes "Bill Ailes" by accident. It's not a big deal.

 

Episode 3 - A Flat Tax for Fat Stacks

It's the most exciting thing in the world: a budget episode! We cover some of the most egregious grab-hands of the latest Coalition budget and take a look at Shortman's reply; how it sought to whelm us, the whelming methods it employs and how a little more whelming could've gone a long way.

In headlines, there's a 200-year-old man touching the kids, an invisible hand touching China, a desperate party failing to touch the polls, and an American Hero exhorting us to touch the beehive of international tension.

Episode 2 - Now That's What I Call Termwork

This week, Darcy's trying to curtail your religious freedom to wage death upon the public and Kieran's as typically feckless and work-shy as any other self-entitled millenial. We go deep on some terminology so that any accusations of intellectual laxity are confined to our morality and work ethic, and we take a squiz at the circus surrounding the latest missives from the Prophet Kanye West.

Episode 1 - Lyca Fox

Now with all baffling pitch issues fixed! Kieran is staggeringly ignorant about the state of piscine gastronomy in the USA and Darcy brings troubling portents from Godzilla's pelagic kingdom. We talk about Lyca Mobile's involvement in governmental corruption so naked it'll make you blush, then check in on the vitals of the alt-right.
