  • Show has gone backwards

    Used to be a good show but now has minimal current affairs- where is Terry Barnes? Get Steve Price in as a regular contributor

  • Boring drive show

    It would be nice if the drive segment would concentrate on car reviews & the latest releases other than almost an entire show taken up with trivial pothole and road issues. I wasted an hour of my life last night listening to dribble.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Your Strata Manager’s Commission is Costing You Millions
Q: And you've done some homework on the figures as well. I mean, what kind of savings are we talking about for apartment owners if the system's cleaned up?
Savings vary by unit size and building, but macro estimates suggest hundreds of millions in total savings over the next decade or more if commissions are eliminated and replaced with transparent, upfront fees.
"Butter Running" and the Peptide Trap: 2026’s Viral Health Hacks Exposed
Q: What do you think about butter running as a trend?
It's a harmless-looking novelty on the surface, but it raises questions about safety and whether it's worth promoting a habit that could distract from genuine exercise, especially since it doesn't address real health benefits.
The Viral Magic of Hindley Street Country Club
Q: How long has the band been together?
The band formed in November 2017, and we're now entering our ninth year, releasing new content on YouTube every Friday at 8 o'clock Sydney time.
The Viral Magic of Hindley Street Country Club
Q: So what kind of songs do you do?
We started with yacht rock staples from 70s and 80s—Hall & Oates, Toto, Christopher Cross—and gradually branched into other well-known tunes from that era, while still choosing songs we believe are strong to begin with.
Words with Kel Richards - 2 April 2026
Q: What is the origin of the phrase see a man about a dog?
It originated from a West End play in 1866 called The Flying Scud or The Four-Legged Fortune, where a character says the line, which then became a popular, humorous excuse.
