ShitShow

It's the season of giving, and thus we've created a Christmas/New Year special Ep to finish off Season 1. It's a deadset Frankenstein, but it'll happily get you through wherever you're driving this festive period. All your favourite segments + plus a one-off special segment from Gus - plug in, tune out, we'll see you in 2018.

Gus has the segments and deals with irresponsible Youtubers, irresponsible gun owners and irresponsible parents in Trainwreck. Following this, we hold a Plebishite to ascertain whether "Poos in the News" should stay as a segment, then after the usual hilarity of "One Star Reservoir" Rig brings us the story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who refused to acknowledge that WWII had ended until 1972, and thus stayed hidden in the Phillipines being a one-man chaos machine.

In our first live show of the season, Rig takes the segments and dominates them with a strong combination of poo-centric news and phone-centric sex apps. Gus then follows up with the Shitshow Shpotlight by taking us through a 2-year period at Microsoft that saw the world's most irritating virtual assistant created, which then spawned the weirdest erotic fiction in history. Bottom line? It was all Melinda Gates' fault. 

Recorded live @ Oxford Art Factory Sydney, December 3rd 2017.

Gus has the segments, after which Rig brings us the story of an 18th/19th century rich f*ckboy who played life faster and looser than anybody else in history. He died at 38, but it's a miracle he lived even that long considering what an utter maniac he was.

Rig has the segments and brings FIRE for "Trainwreck Trophy", followed by the divisive segment "Poos in the News". Another round of Uber reviews feature this week in "One Star Reservoir", before Gus reveals what's in the Bain-Marie this week for the Shpotlight - an in-depth rundown on exactly how wrong things went for the 1969 Altamont Free Concert, universally hailed as one of the worst festivals ever held in the history of things. It features both the Rolling Stones and the Hells Angels - trust us, you'll like it.

We manage to screw the recording sideways by not connecting the mics, and as such the sound quality is not the usual 24k magic you know and love. However, if you can stomach the old school recording, it's a belter - Gus has the segments and takes us through Trainwreck Trophy, Poos in the News and One Star. Rig then regales us with the story of a chemical that big pharma vehemently pushed onto the public as an additive to potato chips , despite it causing cancer, weight gain and being a deadset laxative.

Rig has the segments, and Gus tells us the story of Michael Carroll (a.k.a. King of the Chavs), who won £9.7million in the UK lottery and lost it all within 8 years through a series of incredibly stupid decisions.
