Balthasar Speedboat: Cuneiform feat. Dan Muggleton
We've got Australian comedian Dan Muggleton on for an hour of pure riffs, no theme, but very Australian. And also Canadian, in the sense of Riley explaining bags of milk but only being able to compare their sizes to specific Italian deli sausages. We hope you like this.

I believe that maybe for a glowing six month period in around the end of the 2000s Asda was attempting to introduce the milk bag. Needless to say, do you see milk bags now.
Canadian milk bags come with very in-depth instructions right on the bag, but they are written in Linear B.
Also, the Canadian milk bag is like a little pillow. A milk pillow.
They used to put sandbags in reliant robins to stop them rolling
Dispensing cheap wine from a bag above you into your mouth is also an American thing (largely at music festivals). Good times.
Came on here specifically to confirm the same.
This Balthasar Speedboat is the worthy successor to the one where you were talking about how the only good place to ski in Switzerland is Klosters, Riley. 🙌
You honestly telling me that in 90's Australia, 1. The milkman was still a thing and 2. They had it delivered by fucking horse like it's the 1850's still? Truly deranged.
That Bart vs Australia Simpsons episode features a stamp "celebrating 30 years of electricity" in 1995 and I never expected the joke to be this real https://frinkiac.com/caption/S06E16/443842
Wait isn't there a tablet in cuneiform with the epic of Gilgamesh in the British museum? I feel like there's probably earlier versions that are just accounting but you can't say *all* cuneiform is only accounting.
oh my god I was thinking of Linear A
With reference to "aussie cold fusion", there is a aussie fusion start up seeking to use big lasers to "smear" boron nuclei to increase the cross section for proton-boron fusion. This strikes me as optimistic. Perhaps they could put the boron in a coating on a Hoon's tires instead?

Speaking as an Aussie, I can confirm that all important Australian governmental documents are done in cuneiform. We're actually running low on clay over here :(
The Adelaide Oval thing makes a lot more sense when you remember kangaroo convicts drink milk at the beach. I'm looking forward to the lads emerging from their soy for Oz phase and entering their Oz is Innsmouth phase.
It's refreshing, alright?
Milo here either consciously or subconsciously leaning further and further into the Aussie accent as time passes
Milo's becoming like the type of guy who goes to India or Thailand one time, and then never shuts up about it for the rest of his life. 😆
