May 18, 2026Pickled Crocs, Delta, & That Time Cheng Lei Was Detailed In China For Being A Spy?
This week, Luke's bringing you one of our most gripping, raw, and hard-hitting episodes yet. Grab a cuppa and strap in.
1,154 Days in Hell: Australian journalist Cheng Lei reveals the chilling details of her three-year imprisonment in a secret Chinese detention facility. From being blindfolded and vanished, to the psychological torture of her interrogations—you have to hear it to believe it.

A Midnight Croc Encounter: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done after one too many? Listener Dino shares a terrifying survival story of falling off a boat into pitch-black Northern Territory waters... right after counting 48 crocodiles in the area.

The Hard Truth: In the wake of Senator Price’s heartbreaking Senate speech , we hear from Rosco, a frontline worker who pulls no punches about the harsh realities, violence, and systemic failures inside remote Aboriginal communities.

Plus: Fan-favorite Granny Sue drops a sobering reality check on the cost-of-living crisis , and Rod Hannify dials in for Truckie Tuesday while trapped in a 24-hour logbook purgatory.

May 14, 2026Budget Blows & Sports Washing w/ Larry Canning
The Boomer and the Millennial go head-to-head on the week's hottest topics, and it’s safe to say Luke and Kels do not see eye to eye.
Here is what we're getting into:
Budget Brawls & Housing: AMP’s Shane Oliver steps in to settle the debate; will the new tax tweaks actually help young Aussies buy a house, or do we just desperately need more tradies?

Pandemic 2.0? A cruise ship with a rare Hantavirus is sending Aussies straight to a Perth quarantine facility. We ask Dr. Phil Norrie why the government is cutting the WHO's 42-day lockdown recommendation in half.

Systemic Failures: Things get heated as the duo tackles a heartbreaking child protection tragedy out of the NT and the complex reality of Indigenous social services.

Man Cave Madness: The boys take over to talk the ridiculous money behind LIV Golf, the reality of "sports washing," and what actually broke Tiger Woods. Plus, Adam casually drops a handwritten will from the year 1479.

The Real Issues: We investigate the absolute outrage of Macca's $2 soft serves and find out why Mr. Whippy ditched "Greensleeves".
Hit subscribe, check out the new merch store, and let’s get into it!

May 11, 2026No, You Don't Have Free Speech & Defence Tech w/ Steve Baxter & James Glissan
It's episode 106 and you better strap in, because we are bringing the heavy hitters today.
Floggings & Fevers: David Littleproud unpacks the Coalition’s "good old-fashioned flogging" at the Farrer by-election. Plus, his thoughts on the government's handling of the returning ISIS brides and why tougher calls need to be made for national security.
Legal Blindspots: James Glissan joins us to take the emotion out of the headlines. Breaking down the complex terrorism and slavery charges facing the ISIS brides upon their return. Plus, James delivers a massive reality check on our hate speech laws.
Steve Baxter: Shark Tank's Steve Baxter pulls no punches, not only blasting Google for being "boring", but the government's reflex to tax entrepreneurs, and how that could hurt Australia's sovereign defence.
Truckie Tuesday: We’re talking about 'small' vehicles scooting past weight checks, the loss of mutual respect out on the highway, and how you can win in our new "Spot the Rod" competition.
