29 - Hiroo Onoda, the Soldier Who Was Still Fighting WWII in 1970 (Live @ Oxford Art Factory, Sydney) Dec 10, 2017

Show notes

Gus has the segments and deals with irresponsible Youtubers, irresponsible gun owners and irresponsible parents in Trainwreck. Following this, we hold a Plebishite to ascertain whether "Poos in the News" should stay as a segment, then after the usual hilarity of "One Star Reservoir" Rig brings us the story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who refused to acknowledge that WWII had ended until 1972, and thus stayed hidden in the Phillipines being a one-man chaos machine.

28 - Clippy the Annoying AF Virtual Assistant (LIVE at Oxford Art Factory, Sydney) Dec 03, 2017

Show notes

In our first live show of the season, Rig takes the segments and dominates them with a strong combination of poo-centric news and phone-centric sex apps. Gus then follows up with the Shitshow Shpotlight by taking us through a 2-year period at Microsoft that saw the world's most irritating virtual assistant created, which then spawned the weirdest erotic fiction in history. Bottom line? It was all Melinda Gates' fault. Recorded live @ Oxford Art Factory Sydney, December 3rd 2017.

27 - Mango, King of the Pickles (a.k.a. The Biggest Baller in History) Nov 27, 2017

Show notes

Gus has the segments, after which Rig brings us the story of an 18th/19th century rich f*ckboy who played life faster and looser than anybody else in history. He died at 38, but it's a miracle he lived even that long considering what an utter maniac he was.

26 - The Altamont Speedway Free Concert Sh!tstorm Nov 19, 2017

Show notes

Rig has the segments and brings FIRE for "Trainwreck Trophy", followed by the divisive segment "Poos in the News". Another round of Uber reviews feature this week in "One Star Reservoir", before Gus reveals what's in the Bain-Marie this week for the Shpotlight - an in-depth rundown on exactly how wrong things went for the 1969 Altamont Free Concert, universally hailed as one of the worst festivals ever held in the history of things. It features both the Rolling Stones and the Hells Angels - trust us, you'll like it.

25 - The Potato Chip Enema: What You Don't Know About Fat-Free Chips Nov 12, 2017

Show notes

We manage to screw the recording sideways by not connecting the mics, and as such the sound quality is not the usual 24k magic you know and love. However, if you can stomach the old school recording, it's a belter - Gus has the segments and takes us through Trainwreck Trophy, Poos in the News and One Star. Rig then regales us with the story of a chemical that big pharma vehemently pushed onto the public as an additive to potato chips , despite it causing cancer, weight gain and being a deadset laxative.

24 - King of the Chavs; The Lotto Winner Who Blew It All Nov 06, 2017

Show notes

Rig has the segments, and Gus tells us the story of Michael Carroll (a.k.a. King of the Chavs), who won £9.7million in the UK lottery and lost it all within 8 years through a series of incredibly stupid decisions.

23 - The Brinsley Schwarz Publicity Clusterf*ck Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

Gus has the segments, and Rig tells us the story of 1970s rock band Brinsley Schwarz who attempted an audacious publicity stunt that went delightfully south.

22 - The Gimli Glider: The Plane That Ran Out Of Fuel In Mid-Air Oct 22, 2017

Show notes

Rig has the segments, then Gus tells us the story of Air Canada Flight 143, which in 1983 through utter human incompetence ran out of fuel at 42000ft and became a 200-tonne glider.

21 - The $520m Hangover Oct 15, 2017

Show notes

Gus has the segments and takes us through the rollercoaster of 'Trainwreck Trophy' featuring a wedding photographer who coaxed his clients into a fellatio photo on their big day, a local hero trolling a soccer mum group chat and the court case for the Domino's sex couple from a few episodes ago. Following that he under duress complies with the semi-popular segment "Poos in the News", before finishing strong on people's favourite "One Star Reservoir". Finally, Rig takes us into the world of Steven Perkins in "Sh!tshow Shpotlight", a man whose ability to party and then attempt to work comes crashing down in spectacular fashion.

20 - The Greatest Conman Ever Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

In a deluxe 20th ep, Rig has the segments and goes bang with some utter gems, including Rugby league calendars, day-time talk-show hosts, racist soap and some 1-star supermarket reviews. Gus then has the meatier segment and brings to the table the story of Gregor MacGregor, a man whose fabricated luxury island con killed hundreds of people and netted him the equivalent of $1.7billion.
