Our BAFTA-Nominated friend, the very funny Tim Renkow helps us work out the meaning of 2006, when the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin was unexpectedly killed by a stingray, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was executed, 140 character social media giant, Twitter was created by someone, and a Jackson Pollock painting was the most expensive painting ever sold at auction to music mogul David Geffen - much to art critic Red Richardson's disapproval. Also we learn what body parts Bobby, Red and Tim would trade with an animal, Red learns the ancient martial art of Crab Manga and Tim teaches us what a wank battle as well as some basic biology that Bobby and Red question.
