Had the guy from Jeremy Kyle not killed himself, do we think the show is still on today?

I think there’s a slim chance it might have remained on the air. Absolutely not guaranteed, but it had been running for 14 years straight and even though the show had a lot of haters, it equally had an audience and I can just imagine that during Covid when we were all in lockdown it might have gained even more viewers because more people were at home during the day

I think that production of it would have definitely been suspended during Covid but I could have seen it returning to no live audience for a bit followed by small spread out audiences. Definitely would have been fascinating to see a show like that go through social distancing

Then if it survived the Covid era, I dare say it comes back even stronger. Certainly would have continued to be an incredibly polarising series but I think that the initial audience would still remain in 2026

You could argue that cancel culture had the potential to tear the show apart, however because of how many viewers the show got and how I feel like the people who get around cancel culture aren’t part of that viewership of Jeremy Kyle, any attempt to boycott the show I doubt would work as well as other attempts for other shows

What is the Aussie opinion on US stand up/roast comedian Tony Hinchcliffe?

I’d be fascinated to know how known he is over here

I am Aussie and only discovered who he was 2 years ago. I am a fan but not a super fan, he’s very much a dark shock humour type. His jokes don’t always land, including in his 2 stand up specials which have never been popular. He’s best known for his live podcast “Kill Tony” which is an open mic show where people do one minute of stand up

Apparently he’s really well known in America. He did actually bring Kill Tony to Australia for a few episodes in late 2019, but I don’t think the show was as big as it is now back then. I do know that a few Aussie comedians have gone on it such as Isaac Butterfield and Andrew Wolfe

With Collingwood having such great depth that aren’t exactly playing every week…

Do we think that some of them may seek a trade elsewhere to get a better chance at a regular game?

I think that they should consider staying because the list has plenty of veterans that will eventually retire (Sidebottom is already going and Pendlebury, Elliott and Howe I’d say are definitely not gonna play past 2027)

But on the other hand I think of someone like Will Hayes and Roan Steele whose games and ability I rate, but it took a bulk load of injuries for them to return to the senior side. So it makes you wonder if they’re considering playing for a different side?

I’ve come up with a school holidays idea

What if EB Games introduced a daily Piñata prize during the school holidays

And what I mean by that is that there’s 5 piñata’s set up at a bunch of stores and one of them contains an amazing prize of new games and a piece of paper saying they’ve won a console or a trip to the Gold Coast and the other contains crap such as animal poo, human urine, sardines

Kids under 10 are the only ones allowed to participate and they get 3 hits each

How funny is it when a grown man is standing on the edge of the pool and decides to squat down and do a massive poop into the pool?

I think that it’s absolutely hilarious when a grown man chooses to do this

Sometimes the pool is really noisy and crazy and filled with too many people so the lifeguards who are having a horrible day probably wish they could take a shit in the pool one day forcing everyone to evacuate

Additionally, the man’s ex might be in the pool getting cosy with another guy and you want to try and disrupt them from their fun time in the pool by pooing inside it

Lastly, it feels awesome to squeeze out a massive poop because of stimulation of the vagus nerve so it would be nice to drop a massive load regardless of where

I’ve just come up with an idea to make everything go faster for Kmart customers

You know how there’s often customers at stores (I fall under this category) who don’t do massive shops? For me I don’t because if I just need something from Kmart I go and get it and don’t hold off until Black Friday or Christmas etc.

Considering how massive the stores are and how scattered across the store these items can be, I think they should introduce a “less than 10 items” e-scooter for customers who are just in Coles for a quick shop but don’t want their experience stalled by having to walk from end to another.

I’ve just come up with an idea to make everything go faster for Coles customers

You know how there’s often customers at grocery stores (I fall under this category) who don’t do massive shops? For me I don’t because the massive shop is done for my house but I will go in once per week and buy less than 6 items just to get me through a period

Considering how massive the stores are and how scattered across the store these items can be, I think they should introduce a “less than 10 items” e-scooter for customers who are just in Coles for a quick shop but don’t want their experience stalled by having to walk from end to another. Coles already have had less than 12 items cash register lines so might as well make the actually browsing experience quicker for these customers

What’s a scene from a British TV series that you found insanely relatable?

For me there’s been plenty

The Inbetweeners was a super relatable series as a whole since I absolutely went through similar experiences to the 4 boys as a teenager

Pete Versus Life and Siblings contained a lot of crazy shenanigans of bullshitting my way through life which I found highly relatable such as faking/exaggerating an interest to get closer to a girl etc. as well as trying to cover up wrongdoings

I could relate a lot to Fawlty Towers in a sense that I’ve both been a guest at hotels where the service was rubbish but also experienced the other side of things where I’ve been part of workplace teams that weren’t functioning very well

However the most relatable scene by far in the history of British TV has to be an episode of a random show that I saw in which the name I never knew but basically a male character woke up one morning and said to his wife that he feels amazing because he has just done a huge shit. That is hugely relatable for myself multiple times per week that happens to me and I love the feeling each time. I wish I could tell you the name of the show I genuinely missed it but would have aired in like 2010 or something

Did the series Prank Patrol ever film any episodes in Perth? If so, where?

When I was younger I loved Prank Patrol and always wanted to do it, but being from WA it wasn’t really a place where those kinds of shows filmed, however when I stopped watching it they started doing “road trip” edition where they seemed to travel the whole country and I’m hopeful that they ended up in Perth. If so where did they film?

When the 4 OG Wiggles eventually pass away, do you think they will be buried next to each other at the cemetery?

I think they should be

They’re such legends of the Australian entertainment industry not just for children but for all ages that it would only make sense if this is how it goes for them

Obviously I don’t wish death upon any of them. Hopefully this doesn’t happen for many many many years, but it’s also inevitable for death to happen

If the Krushers ever return to KFC, what will you do to celebrate?

The first thing I’ll do is go down to the local KFC with my friends and go and order one each and drink them because they’re fucking amazing and I miss them

The second thing I’d do is track down the recipe so I can make them myself from home

The third thing I’d do is I’ll order one and then head down to the workplace of my worst enemy from back in high school and pour the Krusher down the back of his shirt

The forth thing I’d do is order two Krushers and then walk into the store half an hour later with one in each hand and throw them both on an unlucky KFC worker as a prank

The fifth thing I’d do is order a Krusher and then drive to the local petrol station and while someone is about to pump Unleaded in their car I take the pump out and pour the Krusher inside it while they’re not looking

How funny would it be if someone bought 40 large cokes through the drive thru, then parks their car outside the store and one by one pours each coke into the petrol slot?

I wonder how far the car would run on a few cokes?

I have an important question for Aussies who like to go camping at popular campsites

You have ordered a pizza to be delivered to the campsite, you have decided to play a prank on the pizza delivery man. What will the prank be?

I have come up with a few ideas over the years such as

  1. Get a friend to hide behind the bushes and while the delivery man is talking to me the friend jumps out and steals delivery man’s car

  2. Pick pocket his wallet and pay for the pizza using his money, then hand his wallet back to him as he’s about to drive off saying it fell on the ground

  3. Fart in his face

  4. Switch the speed limit signs to 20 kilometres higher on the route between the pizza place and the campsite and hope that he gets fined

  5. Get a group of 6 people, pick him up and throw him into the cold lake

  6. Get a friend to climb up the roof of your car and ask the delivery man to park next to the car, when the delivery man parks his car the friend jumps off the roof onto his car

What’s the general viewpoint on Tex Walker here?

So Tex is one of the few players whose entire career I’ve seen (with the exception of not watching a lot of footy for a few years in the early 2020’s)

When he first started, loved him. And I was actually at the game when he tore his ACL against Carlton in 2013. It definitely felt like he was never the same player again after that in a sense that he could have gone on to be what Charlie Curnow and Jeremy Cameron have been but instead just didn’t…

He very much flew off my radar as time went on, then he was front page news when he got done for racism. And look not to defend what happened because it’s clearly not a great thing to do. But I certainly got the impression that this was one of those classic examples of the fact that we are human and we all make mistakes and we should be allowed to make mistakes. Of course, it’s concerning when those mistakes happen when we are over 30, and it made me certainly think less of him for a while after it happened especially because the point in time when it occurred was during peak cancel culture and people were getting fired from their jobs for similar stuff. And I guess the other thing too is that it’s terribly unfortunate it had to come from an Adelaide player when you consider the impact that someone like Eddie Betts has had on the club as well as Charlie Cameron before he left. I think that made it an even bigger shock that it happened

It did feel like ever since then, he fully evolved both his life and game. He seemed to improve majorly as a player and returned back to his earlier career form almost as soon as he returned from that suspension

And then we have what I consider the best thing about him is the relationship he has with Nick Daicos. I feel like what those two men have done in the AFL community of meeting up before the games not for any selfish game manipulative reasons but because Tex’s son loved Nick…gotta be one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen in football and I’m really hoping this trend can continue post his retirement especially considering how rough the last couple of games have been between Adelaide and Collingwood

So overall I’m gonna miss him. I doubt he’s entirely done with football. That trend I imagine will continue on, I suspect the Crows will have him be part of the club in a coaching/managerial role or heck he might even end up working for Collingwood. I’m sure they’d welcome him with open arms
