Topic: Victoria Bitter

The Australian beer brand Victoria Bitter (VB) released a reworked version of its iconic anthem to encourage COVID-19 vaccination, linking the "hard-earned thirst" to getting the jab. The hosts contrast this corporate campaign with a parody version submitted by a producer that highlights police brutality in Victoria. The segment explores the use of working-class cultural symbols to push government health agendas.

The hosts read letters from donors, including a chemist who credits "No Agenda karma" for landing a job at the Philadelphia DEP. They discuss potential travel to Perth, Australia, and the local culture surrounding Victoria Bitter (VB) beer and "Spinsters and Bachelors" balls.
