0:01:06 | Unnamed Segment | Election fallout, from Tony Abbott losing his seat and being compared to Jesus in the cold open, all the polls including party's internal ones being wrong to Shorton being not popular enough via betting companies paying out for Labor wins too early and Clive Palmer effectively buying preferences via advertising his own party that ended up electing Liberals. |
0:46:22 | Mailbag | Listeners are asking for conspiracy theories to hold onto as explanations for the election result, if they can have a dollar, whether the hosts were capable of doing anything the day after the election and the increasing drunk livestream, and why WA is the only state to use hot dog buns for their sausage sizzles. |
Nothing valued is here, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. It's not that the hosts aren't on good form, they're wringing grim humour out of the news, it's just a painful listen of little-to-no-relevance a few years on. All the wives of the show get mentioned en masse as apparently they all helped hold the election livestream together.
