In the first Pubic House Forum episode of the The 9pm Edict since 2018, I was joined by Sydney Morning Herald cartoonist Cathy Wilcox and satirist Mark Humphries at Sydney’s Royal Exhibition Hotel in Surry Hills with an enthusiastic live audience.
There’s also a video of this episode on YouTube.
In this episode we begin with our audience rating Anthony Albanese’s first year as prime minister on a scale of 1 to 5, and end by getting ChatGPT to ask the questions. They were terrible.
We also talk about the late Barry Humphries (no relation to Mark, he claims), Elon Musk and Twitter and SpaceX, firming strategies, the Doug Anthony All Stars, Doug Anthony, Allan Seale, parking as a superpower, Kyle Sandilands, Gerard Henderson (briefly), how many ducks you’d need to form a herd, and Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee.
