Description

00:00 – The Great Jousting Deception

Adam and Donnie recap their "high-stakes" jousting match at Swordcraft Townsville. While Donnie expected actual horses, Adam surprised him with hobby horses (pool noodles on sticks).

  • The Match: A three-pass battle with foam lances.
  • The Outcome: Adam takes the victory after a flurry of confusion and a "premature celebration" from Donnie.

05:42 – The Mayor’s "Cease and Desist"

The tone shifts as station boss Stu and newsreader Beth present Adam with a formal letter from the Townsville City Council. The letter alleges that Adam violated decorum by wearing a hat in the Council Chambers.

  • The Prank: Donnie eventually reveals he forged the letter as revenge for Adam’s previous pranks.


09:25 – The "Horse Forfeiture" Law

To sell the prank, the boys call Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill (referenced as Nick in the banter). The Mayor "threatens" Adam with an archaic by-law: because he wore a hat, the council has the right to confiscate his horse—or in this case, his car—for a week.


11:51 – 360 & Pez Join the Studio

Australian hip-hop legends 360 and Pez call in to discuss their massive regional tour.

  • Donnie’s Pitch: Donnie attempts to hijack the interview by playing a rap song he recorded 12 years ago with Pez’s brother, Ty, hoping to land an opening slot on the tour.
  • The Verdict: The rappers are politely "impressed" by the 12-year-old flow but suggest a listener poll before booking him.

16:30 – The Google Translate Heist

The crew discusses a bizarre news story about a criminal in New York who attempted to rob an Ecuadorian restaurant using Google Translate to demand money.

  • The Irony: The shopkeeper actually spoke English, and the robber ended up dropping his phone and leaving empty-handed.


20:01 – The Quest for a Weekly Column

The boys welcome Em Devon from the Townsville Bulletin. They pitch the idea of having their own weekly column to influence local policy.

  • The Pitch: They want to suggest things like "Parades for Everyone" (even for indoor futsal wins) and making "The Donnie" haircut a protected trademark.


28:55 – Secret Hound: The Impossible Breed

The episode closes with their signature game, Secret Hound, where listeners call in to guess a dog breed based on a recording of a bark.

  • The Chaos: After a series of wrong guesses (Rottweiler, Staffy, St. Bernard), a listener finally correctly identifies the deep, howling bark of a Basset Hound.
