favourite five podcast

Hi Fivers! You may remember back to our 2020 Summit podcast a few weeks ago, where we suggested our favourite five ways that Australia could be improved. Well, its been a bit of a case of life imitating art this week (albeit, I have been told before that calling what we do ‘art’ does kind of ruin Da Vinchi, and Monet and Bill Henson and Jim Henson and stuff, so I figure its better calling it (f)art).

On Sunday I awoke to the news that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had told some of his staffer to “get fucked”. This is exactly the advice that Brad gave as part of his Favourite Fives. Not only that, it appears Lindsay Tanner, the Finance Minister, has also been listening to us, because when Kevin Rudd told people to [go and] “get fucked” he was amused by it, much like how we giggled we Brad said it.

Then, later in the week I found out that the government had put a new citizenship test into action, without Don Bradman. This is exactly what I said we should do! No word yet on whether the questions about Malcolm being the best Aussie film of all time or 10 slang terms for breasts made the cut, although I do understand Boonie’s tinnie drinking record is now part of the quiz.

And one of Dan’s suggestions was to have more access to alcohol, so he could get more pissed more betterer and more fasterer. Now, not that we condone his behaviour, but it appears that Carlton’s Brendan Fevola may have taken this advice a little too close to heart. It is a comedy podcast after all, Brendan.

So thanks to all the power players, celebrities and ordinary lovely people that listen. We’ll be back really early next week with another podcast (apologies, this week has been a little crazy, what with the… um, stuff… that has been really.. um.. yeah, no I fucked up and didn’t organise my week properly. New podcast should be up Tuesdayish).

All the best,
Jonathan

p.s. go Saints.
