Happy holidays, Bleakers. This time around we're talking about Victorian Labor and the big rural rail project (but not really) and then about our past experiences of religious faith or lack thereof (or is there a difference!? Yeah.)

Episode 56 - The New Levelers

Oct 2nd, 2020 1h 42m

oi oi Bleakers.More bad audio this time. Bought the wrong batteries. We're talkin' supreme court, we're talkin' Kent border, we're mainly talking the New Libs, the Diggers (not those ones) and the Levellers. Levelers? Levelers.orright. Ta

Episode 55 - Darcy Davis

Sep 21st, 2020 1h 42m

Hey bleakers. The Zoom is running out of battery, I can't find the power supply and there are no fresh 9 volts in the house so you're dealing with the warpy shit audio from Kieran again.We've got a langurous look at the mental workings of the

Episode 52 - Hell's Pells

Apr 25th, 2020 1h 46m

Another wonky audio episode this time, hopefully less wonky than last time and I think we're getting closer to something that doesn't sound like pure garbage.We talk briefly about Dan Andrews' council reforms and the US Democrat primaries, but

Episode 51 - Bored of the Things

Apr 6th, 2020 1h 5m

Literally just a slow conversation between two friends gradually losing their minds. Darcy has been going back to Lord of the Rings, and Kieran has been going back to videogames and also spends the whole episode fucking around with a latex glov

Episode 50 - COVIDIOTS

Mar 27th, 2020 1h 15m

It's episode 50, what a milestone. To celebrate, we record in separate places, being good little antiviral warriors. That's why the audio for this episode is so resoundingly bad.We don't want to talk too much about news and politics. We end up

Episode 49 - CoronaViden

Mar 21st, 2020 1h 28m

Bleaker than before

Episode 48 - Choo-Choo-Chooseday

Mar 7th, 2020 1h 31m

Feb 16th, 2020 1h 37m

Moron alert: listening to this during editing made it crystal clear how little we can be trusted with basic arithmetic involving simple rounded numbers. Almost every claim involving simple addition, subtraction or multiplication is an error - s

Episode 45 - I Wanna Frick You Like An Animal (To Clarify, I Am the Animal and the Animal is a Rat)

Feb 8th, 2020 1h 42m

It's a big look at the absolute disaster that was the Iowa Caucus, the opening moves in the intolerable chess game that constitutes the Democratic Primary in the US. Wanted to gloss over this one but unfortunately it's like a John Le Carre nove

Episode 44 - From Russia With Faves

Jan 24th, 2020 2h 10m

New Year Same Old Us. What we've done here, essentially, dear Bleakers, is accidentally record two episodes instead of one. Our opening "wee chat" constitutes the first episode, where we talk about the US Democrat Party primaries again (I promi

Dec 24th, 2019 2h 14m

Ay bleakers, sorry we been away. As penance we've put together this interminable 2.5 hour Christmas/Hannukah/Holiday Season special episode to tide you over. It's not, like, Christmas themed or anything, it's just happening at Christmas. Basica

Episode 42 - Northern Terrortory

Nov 1st, 2019 1h 24m

Was gonna do a "Terror Tory" double pun but tbh Labor are fully culpable too in today's topic from Darcy: The Northern Territory "Intervention".Plus, listen to a sleepy Kieran give a run-down on FBI profile-em-up "Mindhunter".Happy bleaki

Oct 24th, 2019 1h 31m

We've streamlined our format! After a bumbling start of outstanding business and two new peerless and definitely funny characters Kieran's cooked up we dig into the preposterous shit going on with Julian Assange at the moment and then have a se

Episode 40 - Joaquer

Oct 15th, 2019 2h 15m

We have an exclusive, unique thing that no other podcast or media outlet of any sort is offering: Two white dudes talking about Joker. We also talk about the huge child forfeiture crisis happening due to NDIS delays as well, just to cut dumb wi

Oct 4th, 2019 2h 23m

Episode 37 - Wet Bandits v Dry Bandits

Jul 22nd, 2019 2h 7m

Hoy bleakers, Darcy's back and there's a couple weeks before Kieran's gone. So here's a bit of a megasode, a two hour paean to political monstrosity that orbits around the dark star of the UK Tories. Darcy runs down the origins of the name and

Episode 36 - Get (politically cor)Rekt

Jul 3rd, 2019 1h 50m

Come hear us congratulate ourselves. Darcy wants to talk about political correctness, specifically how easy it is to say sorry and back off from a shit position, specifically how easy it is for him to walk back his vile racist slurs from last w

Special Episode - Debates Are Boring

Jun 30th, 2019 1h 9m

Little special between-episodes episode here, where Kieran, by himself, talks through the first round of debates in the US Democratic Party primary. Ever wanted to listen to one person stutter through a tedious political evade-a-thon only to co
