You know how Oz we are? We’re so Oz that we reckon we know better than some pricks who went to Canberra at some point and talked shit while they ate a packed lunch. What’s happened since then of benefit to the country anyway? Barry Hall left the Swans, that’s one thing, but I’m struggling to think of a second. So seeing as we’re so flippin’ Oz we thought we’d convene our own 2020 summit and put some ideas forth to benefit the country. Along the way you’ll hear about former TV celebrities, new voting systems, and what we’re going to do to improve your suburb. You’re a communist if you don’t listen, and a terrorist if you don’t leave a comment on our iTunes page. Enjoy!

I’ve decided that rather than writing some sort of obscure piece of text to tease you slightly about the podcast, but mostly serve my own ego by being a bit overly wordy, I would construct a piece of elegant salesmanship. Please read the following as though it were read by the overly-excitable gentleman who promotes racing at Calder Park Speedway: “Listen to Favourite Five’s new episode, Favourite Five song lyrics. You can download absolutely free via iTunes. Free? Yes, FREE! Episode 23 features another quirky introduction, references to long forgotten Australian bands, stories about musician’s penises, and the return of the bleep! Favourite Five podcast episode 23, the best thing you’ll get for free without having to get antibiotics the next day. DOWNLOAD IT NOW NOW NOW”.

After a couple of weeks of tournaments we’re ready to get back to fighting each other with our taste in all things popular. And these movies are still popular aren’t they? Although, I happened to be an a DVD hire store (previously known as a video shop.. ahh, those were the days) at around 10pm last Saturday night and it was dead quiet. And we were being kicked out, so my better half picked up some weird French film so we could get out quickly. Anyway, I thought, how bad could it be? The answer – at the end of the film, the couple in the film encased themselves in concrete so they could be together forever. Seemed a bit strange to me. Anyway, there are other films that we haven’t seen, and we’ll talk about them here. You may think its stranger than love concrete, but I don’t think much is anymore. I’m now what the French would call “damaged goods”. podcast@favouritefive.com

Its been a crazy week here in Favourite Five town, what with that new channel 9 thing starting up on Sunday (because I’ve been hanging out for months for new episodes of Wipeout), and buying jackets and shit (a new cardigan to replace the jacket I gave Dan. Its quite old-manish, and it seems to really angry up the blood. I’ve been calling Neil Mitchell almost constantly).

Anyway, from listening to any of the past 37 podcasts (of which only 21 have made the grade, i.e. are legally broadcastable), you may have come up with the idea that we’re violent towards small things. For example, children in shopping centres, Kate Langbroek’s sexual appeal and Kyle Sandiland’s penis. Muppets are generally also small. Except the big ones. Anyway, we thought what would happen if we pitted them against each other, muppet e muppet. And this is our podcast.
