Australian Accent Critique and Surf and Turf

Australian listeners provide feedback on John C. Dvorak's attempt at an Australian accent, specifically correcting his use of the word "shrimp." They explain that Australians eat "prawns" and that "shrimp" refers to small children or insects. Musician Chris Wilson contributes a song advising the hosts to simply order "surf and turf" to avoid sounding like "douchebag Yanks."

Forking the Show, Goat Agenda, and Sir Ben

The hosts discuss a listener's suggestion to "fork" the show into a separate "Goat Agenda" specifically for donation segments. Ben Hanson from Victoria, Australia, is knighted as Sir Ben of the Outback. He credits the show with helping him through a dark period between 2007 and 2010 by validating his perspective on the world.
