Episode 148 – Brisvegas

This week, Andy and Roger ditch the studio for a boys' trip to Brisvegas, complete with a zesty blue Mustang convertible, thinning hairlines, and questionable headwear decisions. Things go sideways quickly when they encounter a real-life Karen berating Thai staff over a lack of fried rice at an all-you-can-eat buffet—and naturally, Andy has thoughts.

The duo then pivot to some Bogan parenting anthropology at the local food court before delving into the headline act: the bizarre Trump–Putin summit in Alaska. From red carpet optics to stealth bombers and geopolitical theatre, Andy and Roger explore what (if anything) was achieved, and why Trump’s flair for production may be more dangerous than effective.

South Park’s brutal new takedown of Trump and JD Vance also gets a viewing—complete with commentary on AI-generated grotesqueries, tiny penises, and baby oil. Rounding out the show: the Albanese government's support for Palestinian statehood and why Australia’s Productivity Summit ended with more posturing than policy.
