Episode 154 – Celebrity
This week, Andy and Roger tackle the hard-hitting questions: is it ever okay for men to sit down to wee, and what does your urinal splash zone say about you? As always, it starts in the gutter—literally—and then spirals into a spirited discussion about celebrity culture, the awkward etiquette of recognising public figures (including Lleyton Hewitt at Castle Towers), and whether you’re ever truly allowed to approach someone famous while they wait for bubble tea.
From reflections on Slash, Snoop Dogg impersonators, and airport stalking, to debates about political celebrity and the pecking order of fame—from athletes and models to podcasters and influencers—this episode dissects the strange hierarchies of modern notoriety. The pair also revisit Australia’s Tall Poppy Syndrome and whether it's possible to admire someone without being a cringe-inducing fanboy.
A deeply serious exploration of status, fame, and… toilets.
