Episode Overview
This week’s episode features a late cancellation from Charles Firth and a playful name swap: Craig becomes Master O'Reilly, Chris is now Purple Moon, Julian is Mahler, Chas takes on Zipping, and Andrew is Mr. Ed. The show kicks off with National Party members skating while discussing rising interest rates and Peter Garrett's contentious remarks. A highlight includes a stunt involving barricading Glenn Stevens’ house, plus the new Soundbite Challenge where Garrett uses "jocular" ten times in one press conference. There’s also a humorous stunt with Steve Price to assess his comedic sensibility, avant-garde junk art installations, and attempts to bribe passersby for Labour votes. Other segments feature a musical take on gang warfare and a remote-controlled robot addressing Julia Gillard. As the episode wraps, Andrew Hansen humorously notes the absence of witty remarks due to a writer's strike.
