Sam, Jess and Ruta are talking all things unconventional comedy this morning for Melbourne International Comedy Festival, asking listeners what strange little things they find way funnier than they probably should.

For April Fools Day, the team also spent the morning pretending to be Melbourne’s biggest brekky show, with some very polished radio energy and a few unexpected surprises along the way.

They also unpack Victoria’s new free public transport month and what else should be free, try to define some very questionable boomer slang for National Boomer Bonus Day, and debut a brand new intro for Midweek Confessions.

Also in this episode: the team reacts to a stolen Kit Kat truck, breaks down the Hailey Bieber mask-combing trend, and gives away Alex Warren tickets to dedicated listener Stacy.
