INsight - Insurance News

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I’m often accused of ramming my puns down everyone’s throat, but I’m not sheepish about it. No, I’m not having a baaaa of it and I bet ewe can’t count the number of sheep puns in this episode and stay awake. Or at least, that’s what I herd.

In this week’s gnarly dude edition of INSIGHT, we’re at the Gold Coast hanging ten with the grommets at the NIBA Convention. We went surfing with a bunch of frogs, 12 to be exact as I counted them, and it was a toad tally awesome wave bro. Afterwards we walked into a bar with our boogie-boards, but the barman said “we don’t surf your kind in here” so we had to leave. 

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re excited for Shark Week. Sharks can swim faster than a human and a human can run faster than a shark, so in a triathlon it all comes down to who’s the better cyclist. That shark joke tanked, but perhaps that’s the point?

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re taking a slightly odd approach and focusing on not news. Not knot news, as in ropes and ties—but not news: as in stories passing as exclusives' that aren't really news at all. It all started with a recent Suncorp announcement that reminded me of when I tried courting my future wife with my world-class knot-making abilities. For a long time, I was convinced that was the only reason she said yes. I just couldn't tell if she actually loved me... or loved me knots. 

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT we’re taking inspiration from the German philosopher Emmanuel Kant. He said “You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am”, but that was long before podcasts, where we’re pretty sure our readers know what I’m like, just by hearing me. I had a friend who was trying to decide whether to study art or philosophy. I told her she should draw her own conclusion.

This week’s edition of INSIGHT is hot, hot, hot. We’re so up-to-date on the latest news, we’re like hipsters who burn their tongues on a coffee. Yes, we drink it before it’s cool. This week we have all the latest news hot off the press, and none of it’s about El Ninio.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, the robots are taking over. We know if androids dream of electric sheep, but can we deliver an introduction to this podcast that makes you wish your ears were malfunctioning? Yes, rate at which Robotics Intelligence is growing make us thing they will one day CAPTCHA the world.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, corduroy pillows make headlines! Yes, it’s a journalist’s worse nightmare: a week that’s a little light on hard hitting news and to be honest, they’re more concerned about how that gives me carte blanche on the intros. So much so, John is threatening to kick me out of the podcast because of my obsession of acting like a news anchor. More on that after the break.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I have previously been accused of plagiarism, their words not mine. Like when my car was stolen from a multistorey car park, the accusation is wrong on so many levels. None of the intro puns are mine, nor are they that funny. To counter the accusation, I ordered a book of puns last week, but I didn't get it.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, it's on. It's on like Donkey Kong. On like the movie Tron. On like The Gospel according to John and on like a kung-fu swan. Big acquisition news dropped late on Friday, and like a book about gravity, we just couldn’t put it down.
