Adam & Donny

Donny got busted letting his AI bot pick, pay for and even write the card for his anniversary flowers, and Donny's girlfriend is not impressed. Plus: Donny hits the local gossip column, Cheap Eats day one and a dog's pegging world record.

In this episode:

1. Adam plays secret audio of Donny telling his AI "bro" to order anniversary flowers for Donny's girlfriend on his Amex (under $110, don't even bother with options) and to write a nice note about how much he loves her.
2. Donny's girlfriend rings in to rinse him over the AI flowers, reckons he's been cheating on her with his "team" of AI bots, and says she's still waiting on some human-picked flowers.
3. Donny cops a mention in the Walker Street Whisperer, a Gossip Girl-style anonymous gossip column in the local paper, accusing him of dragging his 30th birthday out into a year-long national event, and Adam lists the evidence so fast Donny reckons he's the source.
4. Cheap Eats for a Week, day one: Adam and Donny are eating out for every meal on about $30 a day to see if it beats buying groceries, and Adam's careful taco-steak-Red Rooster day goes up against Donny living on Domino's after the Foo Fighters.
5. The Daily Dribble (the weird news story of the day): Java, a black Labrador from Kansas City, sets the first-ever world record for most pegs on a washing line in 60 seconds (eight), and Adam is deeply unimpressed.
6. A bloke rings in wanting to petition council to bring Java to North Queensland to take up the long-time sport of "pegging" (on a clothesline, obviously).

Donny permanently moved his anniversary with girlfriend Lou to today for weekend dates and extra gift time. Plus: Stu banks $300 for an eat-out challenge, a smart-glasses ban debate, and a hawk too fat to fly.

In this episode:

1. Adam clocks that today is Donny's "anniversary" with girlfriend Lou — except Donny quietly shifted the real date (24 Oct) to Friday 6 Nov for calendar convenience and extra gift time, then woke up to a happy-anniversary that felt fake.

2. Adam and Donny pitch boss Stu an eat-out-only experiment next week; after maths arguments and people ringing in with hacks, Stu approves $300 and they turn it into a who-spends-least competition.

3. With the budget locked, they lock the rules: no groceries, Sunday to Thursday, work coffee only, and you can't hit the same place twice (all Maccas count as one; servos are one category).

4. Townsville council tables a petition to ban recording glasses in public and parks it for now; Beth flags vision-impaired uses, and a woman from Kirwan rings in suggesting medical pairs get a distinct colour.

5. Daily Dribble: a Virginia hawk that couldn't take off wasn't injured — just overweight from neighbourhood handouts. Donny jokes about baggage fees; Adam (who used to be bigger) says he used to take those jabs personally.

Someone in Donny's building opened his sister's wedding invite, scanned the RSVP code, and told her to contact him directly. Plus: Glasgow cops find $30k of drugs next to a lamb eating hot chips, then name it Pablo Escobar.

1. Adam and Donny kick off Thursday arguing about Cold Rock's $100 mix-in limit on Uber Eats, then drag newsreader Beth into a used-by vs best-before debate.
2. Donny's Donk Toss teammate rings in to double down on the bust: Donny's on the media team with an iPhone, not competing for Australia, and he'd have to buy his own jersey.
3. They cold-call a local councillor about 16 weeks of ignored council suggestions; he takes it on notice and says one more petition signature might do it.
4. Donny's sister's wedding spreadsheet shows someone opened the invite from his mailbox, scanned the QR code, and wrote that she needs to make direct contact with Donny and Donny's girlfriend.
5. Adam and Donny are nervous about today's weird-news segment after Americans tore into them for defending a sushi worker who scooped free Halloween candy.
6. Daily Dribble: police in Glasgow pull over a man with $30,000 of drugs and a lamb eating chips in the back. A farmer names the lamb Pablo after Pablo Escobar.

7. More people weigh in on the HelloFresh thief, and Beth gets outvoted while she's out of the room.
8. A cranky emu called Eric (who's actually a girl) is harassing a pensioner in Bluewater, and the boys remember Australia lost the Great Emu War.
9. Daily Dribble, the weird news you didn't know you cared about: a Florida deputy lets a speeding zombie off because you can't ticket someone who isn't alive.
10. Three things the boys want the Townsville council to discuss: a rate break for single shoppers, an official stance on Eric the emu, and a free dim sim for every Foo Fighters fan.
