These guys were so amazing, absolute genius. As an American I almost never knew who they were talking about, and they could still make me laugh so hard I would be left gasping for air. Bullshit is truly an international language.

[@benjaminmllerjensen8705]

It's not the bullshit, it's because it's also English of a sort that they're speaking

Aubrey Wadonga, just brilliant in every way.

Albury Wodonga

[@Anonymous551656]

I'm not sure about that last sound. They said it was the ALP, but I'm not sure that's correct. I think it's the sound of Malcolm Turnbull taking a strong, principled stand on an important issue.

[@wakcackle3555]

Must have been listening to the background noise then?

How's it compare to Scomo :D

[@freudianslippers6567]

No, it's correct. ALP do barely anything to counter LNP, and in fact align with them far too often.

I miss you guys.

[@collapserelapse]

Damn, I wish I understand australian politics and issues. I'm sure these would be hilarious.

[@earthwizz]

collapse No worries collapse, same old bribery and corruption as politics everywhere just a little more laconic. And yes, they are.

[@allenjenkins7947]

Don't worry, many Australians don't understand it either.

[@evilotis01]

trust me, they are

[@michaelginever732]

You're right. The reason there's no sound in that last one is that the Labour party who were in opposition at that time did not savage the government on any issue whatsoever. They were practically in-audible. Contestant's name is funny because Albury and Wodonga are a pair of cities either side of the Murray river (which is also the border between the states of New South Wales and Victoria). They are effectively one and are often referred to as Albury/Wodonga. As for the sound of money being a board meeting of a Sydney water company. I don't live in NSW but this is my understanding of the issue.The State government owned Sydney water contracted a private company for various works. Upon scrutiny it appeared that they paid a lot of money for what they got. There were legal moves to recover monies. It was settled out of court. But yeah possible corrupt dealings - I'm a bit Sgt Schultz on it really.

And now the ICAC hearings are just as loud as that last sound.

[@markgearing]

I was sure they were going to put the sounds together in a way that sounded like a chainsaw cutting down a tree, which then fell and nobody heard it.

"Human voice..." 🤣

[@Gredddfe]

Me struggling to remember the contemporary events of 2014..... I remember ALP under Shorten not challenging PM Abbott on any of his bs because Bill was too busy licking the wounds of the ALP to come out strong on any issue. It was, strangely enough, left to Clive Palmer who held the balance of power in the Senate to hold the govt accountable.

Albury Wodonga are adjoining cities on the border of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. (I am in a northern suburb of Albury, right now)

[@i_am_ergo]

Thanks, chaps!

[@aaronleverton4221]

Much later, but there are a series of twin-towns on the Murray River, Albury-Wodonga (NSW-Vic), Yarrawonga-Mulwala (Vic-NSW), Echuca-Moama (Vic-NSW) and then Renmark and Paringa (SA-SA). Each of them grew up around a major crossing point on the river.

[@travelinjones9730]

@aaronleverton4221 Interesting context, thanks for that. Not many twin-towns in North America, we mostly developed outposts on one bank of a river or where two rivers meet (until modern development & urban sprawl took over, of course).

[@travelinjones9730]

Stumbled upon these blokes from the other end of the earth. When they're good, they're great. But am I the only one who thinks their few Front Fell Off/Tabloid Publisher type of banter/talking-over-each-other videos are absolutely brilliant, but these Q&A type videos - with Dawe always saying "correct" - are dull and monotonous? It seems the longer they went on, the more they stuck to this formula. Curious what Australians think of it. Cheers...

[@ribbonsofnight]

I agree that it was overused and not their best. All their routines had elements that were current affairs and I think this format is even more confusing a decade after than their regular discussions.

[@paulwhelan7781]
