D day for Occupy Melbourne

Episode 9

These sick spuds are back with another podcast after 2 weeks of campaigning for King Rudd, and it looks like our efforts are starting to pay off.

Accidental incest and Tasmania go together like hommus and toast, and we have plenty of incest on this episode. It seems that at some point in every show fat people come up, and we discuss the donut gene and its impact on the excercise world.
