Stubbs and Roper continue to produce the goods, despite plague, pestilence and persistent audio problems! Their “slice of life” rambles are always a delightful way to end the week. Keep up the good work, lads!

Two veteran Australian comedians share long-running banter about everyday life, family, and the small absurdities that accumulate between stories and memories. Episodes hinge on friendship, observational humor, and relatable anecdotes—from glasses and gadgets to travel, social faux pas, and pop culture riffs—delivered in a warm, casual, and self-deprecating style. A standout throughline is the strong host chemistry and willingness to riff on ordinary moments, which gives listeners a comforting, funny take on modern life. This show likely appeals to fans who enjoy easygoing, witty banter and candid storytelling from two seasoned comics.
