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.

Bluesfest founder Peter Noble to discuss all things Bluesfest; from talent to commercial operation to even the prospect of a Live Nation sale.

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.

Rig has the segments, then Gus tells us the story of Air Canada Flight 143, which in 1983 through utter human incompetence ran out of fuel at 42000ft and became a 200-tonne glider.

Gus has the segments and takes us through the rollercoaster of 'Trainwreck Trophy' featuring a wedding photographer who coaxed his clients into a fellatio photo on their big day, a local hero trolling a soccer mum group chat and the court case for the Domino's sex couple from a few episodes ago. Following that he under duress complies with the semi-popular segment "Poos in the News", before finishing strong on people's favourite "One Star Reservoir". Finally, Rig takes us into the world of Steven Perkins in "Sh!tshow Shpotlight", a man whose ability to party and then attempt to work comes crashing down in spectacular fashion.
