Callum recalls the time Boris Johnson sang him a song, following a frozen-turd induced flight delay. 

We also chat about slurping from the money river, winning some skin in a trolley problem, and taking the hint on when it's time to go.

Books

God Bless You, Mr Rosewater

An outbreak of feral chickens disrupts the news cycle, and their language is everywhere. We chat about Alicia's slow burn love for Wordle and its many variants, and CV guides us through life under a lunatic. Happy Friday!

We talk kiwi accents, how you fut in the mux, and how a deckless vessel nearly caused an international incident.

Today we ponder what's fair snooze-button policy in a partnership, how many questions you should be asking on a first date, and what do do if your job is complete bullshit.

Also, we discuss the papal death hammer.

Bullshit Jobs

Join Alicia, Cam and special guest CV as we talk political change in Australia, the queen and retribution, health and health behaviours!

Cam and Alicia chat from their respective locations across the Tasman. Alicia is pretty sure she's contracted as a human over the last two years, and Cam wonders how the chances of being eaten by a 2017 crocodile will influence Australia's federal election. Oh and Alicia has well and truly taken the swearing shackles off.

Join us today as we discuss going analogue in a digital world, why does Christchurch smell weird...  the phenomenon that is The Streisand Effect, and more! 

Alicia is joined by Monique Davidson, (outgoing CEO of Central Hawkes Bay District Council and incoming CEO to Horowhenua District Council) and Alex Walker,(Mayor of CentralHawkes Bay)to talk about how to master the relationship between governance and management to drive results.Monique and Alex achieved incredible success in transforming not just their organisation, but the relationship between Council and community. They put their results down to the quality and openness of their relationship and a commitment to shared outcomes. This is a fresh, helpful conversation between two incredible leaders that is well worth listening to!

Alicia and the gang discuss passwords and privacy, life accountability, and wonder if you make your own luck.
