Episode 162 – Burkas of Tokyo
Fresh from a stint in Tokyo, Roger returns to the pod—culturally cleansed and slightly jet-lagged—to join Andy in unpacking the latest stunt from perennial provocateur Pauline Hanson. From grilling Wagyu on a sandwich press to donning a burka in the Senate, Hanson’s antics lead to a candid discussion about political theatre, respect for religion, and whether the Parliament needs a quiet carriage.
Roger shares tales from Japan, where warmed toilet seats and robot bidets prove revelatory, and where the culinary challenges include milkfish sperm and mystery liver mousse. The hosts contrast Japan’s order and civility with the chaos of Sydney’s transport system and Australia’s border officials—landing somewhere between admiration and despair.
Also on the menu: bogan icons in politics, Jackie Lambie’s rough charm, and why you’re more likely to find dignity in a Tokyo train than a Sydney airport queue.
