Ep. 58 Pavlou's Dog C*nts

This week the str*nzi are off-leash and rolling in any shit they can stick their noses into. They talk the rise of the PHONies and the inadequacy of certain Left responses; the BRS/Hastie beef; the trenchant bastardy of cops; the cruelty of Australia and cultural Howardism; the Teal Panel Party; the language of parliament; the nonce media and their love of babykillers; Alan Jones biopics; Abbott 2.0; evil gays and powerful lesbians; and Drew, Drew, Drew. Sweet Drew, our beautiful son and collaborator. We wonder about what makes him tick, what he thinks about, what he wants from the world, how he sees himself, what keeps him up at night. It’s a Pavlouvian Republic of Drewstralia, and we are just living in it. Song is “No Strain” by Southend Rainbows. Thanks always to “Dictator” Dan Dare for Production.

Before that, the boys talk online anti-reading trends, more circumcisions, the hues of One Nation foreheads, mining corruption and greenwashing, the various ways they both encouraged bullies as teenagers, Pitchfork Jet Review Reichstag Fire, Tealification, Auctioneer gang wars in Sydney post-budget, tax concession anger and downwards envy.
