The Spood and Matt Show

Matt hadn't backed a Melbourne Cup winner since he was ten, and two horses he backed in a row died. This year Phoebe told him they were in the parade ring, a mate's tip had one horse in it, and he put $100 on the nose of Point Of Law at $8.70 with seconds to spare. Spood's grandmother picked Goodie Two Shoes. Second last.

Also: how Ciaron Maher gives seven jockeys a race plan, Steven Bradbury's actual plan (stay at the back, hope they fall), where "hands down" comes from, Spood's Tesla driving him home with his hands in his lap, the bloke who cuts off Teslas on purpose, hydraulic versus electronic steering, Robbie Williams in Newcastle on 17 November, Scatman on loop, a kids' book that needs an illustrator, the Catcheroos' second sponsor, and Matt closing the show as castrato number two.

Matt lasted four days in telemarketing. He went off script, got accused of running a prank call, and hung up on an old lady who was getting out of bed to buy raffle tickets. Also: the Catcheroos have a sponsor who hasn't been told, Matt discovered Do Not Disturb four weeks ago, Sophie the AI receptionist and the caller he asked "are you AI?", Mark Cuban's old plane, the last castrato, Beethoven conducting deaf, Attenborough at 100, why tonic water is called tonic, the soldier who ate his whole supply of meth, the sounds that disappeared, and Spood's mum refusing cooking advice from ChatGPT because "you're not a chef."

The Idol verdict is in. Fanman got the email this week: unsuccessful, thanks for your time, feel free to try again. He has never been so relieved. The whole audition story, finally: the Zoom button he didn't click for thirty minutes, eight producers at a long table, "anyone else here tone deaf?", and the question he had no sob story for.

Spood carries a hanky. Fanman thinks that's disgusting ("the wet spot and the crunchy spot"). So they settle it with history: where the word handkerchief comes from, why dropping one was medieval flirting, the king who made them square, and the flu pandemic that gave us tissues. Also: Fanman's message tone performed, "vaccine" comes from the Latin for cow, where "hysteria" comes from, Spood is off the UFO stuff, the parody song "Fan I Need," and Hugo's sixth birthday, where his parents forgot the one thing a six year old wants.

DC Comics sent Matt a letter about Fanman, and this week it was on Channel 7, Channel 9, the ABC and 2GB. He can't say much about where it goes from here, but he can tell you how it started: people kept walking into a lighting shop asking if it sold fans, so he bought a number plate that said FAN MAN. A Newcastle radio station's advice was to rename the shop "Lights and Fans." Also: what Matt learned about swearing on radio, the Spood and Matt ringtone (limited to 100), Kondo's fun facts (doctors and babies in the 1980s, Nintendo in 1889), Hoover said no to Dyson, the Aussies who became the Australian golf team in North Korea, wife carrying is a real sport, the Classic Catches uniform standoff, and the day ten-year-old Spood tried to light forty birthday candles with a can of Aerogard.

Matt let himself into a customer's house with their spare key to use the toilet. 31 minutes later, the customer came home. Guest Jack (Matt's former right-hand man, and a 1% Club contestant) once fell through a stranger's ceiling and hung there like a koala until the homeowner walked in. Also: a pub that asks for a tip before anyone says hello, a green ant in the worst possible location, why dog poo isn't white anymore, Classic Catches for the 2032 Olympics, and the driveway war: nose-in or reverse? Two cousins, no agenda, weekly.
