It's the season finale, and good tidings we bring (to you and your kin(g)). We talk about how there's an underbelly to things, how Sonic's spikes are "big chunky monkeys", we establish that parts of any place could be Hog Heaven, we get prematurely amped up for Chrisso, discuss the Hausmannisation of Paris, and how cool NHR was on episode 16. Tim reads a beautiful poem and we learn all about coffee cooling gradients.

In this "nano-episode", Tim tells us a little story about Episode 18 and what that might be like.
'I want to talk about my fear of aliens, stop bringing up Proust.' Are yoyos having a blast, or are they more of a "silent witness"? Tim has a thing for women in the Navy and Tristan's cat Postie is dubbed an enfant terrible.

Stand up comedian Nathan Hugh Robért (NHR) tells us all about how he broke up with his first girlfriend three times. We talk about the time Tristan and a friendlicked a businessman on the way home during their first year at uni. NHR recites a beautiful ham poem about a particular type of ham he's been buying from a local butcher. It features the line 'If the ham was an actor, it would be Ashton Kutcher'.

When were you born when you first learned about 'about face'? This week we allude to the podcast, Tim explains New Caledonia, the fact that Piglet wears a pink jumper is pointed out lest anyone mistake that for part of his raw body, and we encounter a robot voice issue around 31 minutes in.

Freddie Arthur (stand up comedian, Raw National Finalist 2025) tells us some very interesting things about various legal cases from the olden days involving pigs, a donkey, chickens, and a swarm of insects. We're all entities here. 'When they caught up to him [some man], he was a goat.' Did they really catch up to him then? (I don't think so.) We discuss whether Sonic the Hedgehog is a fox, talk about going in the cupboard, and have a bit of fruit toast. Tim is the biographer and he also tells us a joke about interstate polling centres that is really good.

We like to find the ultimate segment around here. We finalise the Shoutout Pantheon, Tim's language nerd comes out yet again and we begin to construct a new language.

or, Playing Chicken with the Guys. We talk about the time they tried to make a Sonic movie but he looked like a little freak.

Comedian Bea Barbeau-Scurla joins us to talk running without breathing, not explaining your behaviour, crushing vs. merging in mobile games, and whether Sonic is ham-related.
