Episode Notes

About 13 minutes into the episode, Lucy digresses into talking about the cute-but-deadly poison dart frog, following which Ben remarks “technically Nature Corner”.

He's very cute, but you shouldn't lick him.
- Lucy on the poison dart frog

Roughly 23 minutes into the episode, Andrew quotes a former Greens staffer who many years previously had satirically Tweeted that Muslims wanted to “ban my favourite hobby, greasing myself up in pig fat and oinking like a grunter”. Although not a direct reference to Boonta Vista cryptid The Grunter, we're going to speculate that this informed Ben's description of that being in an episode several years later.
