Prendegast’s campaign material showed photographs of her literally burning ratepayers’ money*, people voted in droves for her, and now Wellington’s through the roof at securing the rugby sevens in Wellington for another 6 years after she had earlier turned down the opportunity to host them permanently.

Plus; ROYALTY:
Also: Why We Vote on a Wednesday . We being Americans and Wednesday being Tuesday because Dave’s mind is all wrong.
*Fireworks. I’m clever.

Bit of a busy weekend so I haven’t had a chance to listen back to this one yet, but better get something out before you all forget we exist. Will add in tags and a blurb later on.
update: HEY! well it turns out we talked about ACT again! Specifically David Garret and his online dating conquests, among other things. Hurrah.

The Christchurch Earthquake is serious business and has had a huge impact on the lives of the residents, BUT: as with any news event there are peripheral political, financial and media fuck-ups that make up the bread and butter of this podcast. So, with our full sympathies going out to the victims of this horrible event, let’s commence with the piss-taking…

Everything. This episode is about everything. Special focus on Wellington’s street people, John Howard’s CV catching up with him, underpants, local body elections, Peter Bethune , and charity. Nice.

Sorry for the delay, everybody. Here’s our FORTIETH EPISODE! From Auckland’s “Party Central” (failed plans for a celebration zone on Auckland’s waterfront) to Wellington’s “Party Central” (Dan and Dave in a strip joint) to Christchurch’s “Party Central” (serious sexual assault allegations), this episode has the lot.
We use the N word in this episode, quoting You-Know-Who . Just a heads up.

Don’t want mining on Section 4 conservation land? Blame Gwyneth Paltrow. This episode also serves as Dave’s open letter to law enforcement agencies urging them apprehend John Key for probably stealing Dave’s end table.
