    Ep45. CFME Me?!?! CFME You!!!!

    26/02/2026 | 1h 54 mins.
    This week, the l*ds talk about the stupid, dumb and idiotic reporting on the CFMEU by king rat Nick McKenzie and Geoffrey “Wages Are a Gift” Watson. They also talk about Sega World Green Bans; the Eternal Howard and his enduring influence, the cultural hooliganism of older Australians, disagree about Patrick “Name and Nature” White, and why you should join the Socialists :) If you’re interested in the “Bread and Roses” NSW caucus, slide into DMs or emails.
    Thanks as always to “Dictator” Dan Dare for wonderful production. Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.

    Ep 44– Genghis Taylor

    18/02/2026 | 1h 49 mins.
    This week, the fellangists are talking about the rise to the Shadow Khanate of Genghis Taylor and the encirclement of Sultana Sussan Ley after her abandonment by the various slimy Viziers of her erstwhile cabinet. In other Turkish news, Drew Pavlou was “Drewported” from Amerikkka for the simple sin of threatening Billie Eilish with being briefly in his presence. They also talk about the importance of Irish and Italian people in Australian and world history, the feminist credentials of PHON, and the contradictions of the class orientation and culture war credentials of the LNP.

    Ep.43 I Suck Huge Hog

    13/02/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    This week the fell*s talk about the violent Pali Rally that put police officers in an impossible situation, and the heroic efforts of the cops to restore order. They talk about the poise and gallantry of Isaac Herzog, President of the Jews, as he fronts his people. They also talk about the impressive intellectual facility of our ruling class, the KISSocracy; Starmer’s upstanding group of friends and the glorious victory of the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan. And meatlovers sushi.

    Ep42– Closing the Yap with Yaraman Thorne

    05/02/2026 | 1h 49 mins.
    This week the fell*s are joined by writer, actor, housepainter but in no ways comedian Yaraman “Yazzy” Thorne. They chat about what the hell happened to the ABC; the great icons of comic broadcast; Paul Fenech’s Indigenous heritage; and the conservative meltdown over Always Was Tonight.
    Beforehand, the l*ds talk about surviving another Epstein dump; the One Nation grift; Coalition 66.0 and the turn to the “comic book Right” by Australian Reactionaries.
    Thanks as always to “Dictator” Dan Dare for production.
