In a bitter, jaded world, it's an episode to make you believe again. Maybe our imaginary friends aren't so imaginary. Maybe we'll stay punk forever. Maybe life is worth living. Maybe all the songs in the triple j hottest 100 of 1998 really are connected in some cosmic way. And most importantly, maybe when our host says he's conducting some dangerous and elaborate stunt live in our studio he actually is and how dare you say otherwise.
