Episode Highlights: Robot Edition


• “This could be the end of the Liberal Party as a national force if they don’t find the centre ground—and fast.” — Jack the Insider

• “Votes at 16? Sure—but give them a civics class before you hand them the ballot.” — Hong Kong Jack

• The boys predict Tasmania’s next premier may “need a calendar, not a throne” given fragile coalition math.

• Coldplay’s stage-dive mishap leads to a riff on “Slip, Slop, Slap—Rock-star edition.”


  • "these quotes would be a real knee slapper - if I had knees!" - ChatGPT probably.
