GrodsThink recording tonight. Time for you to suggest questions for Ask A Barman, and to tell us about the funniest thing you’ve seen on the intertubes this week.

Get thee to the comments.

On the plus side, that means we don’t have to give you a summary of the now-concluded and not-entirely-successful first season of GroupThink F.C.

Suffice to say there’s only one direction for us to go next season, and that’s up!

Last week in the GrodsThink naked cagefight John Laws defeated Alan Jones in a greasy duel to the death. This week we’ve had the grand total of ZERO suggestions for somebody to grease up and take Laws on. Youse bastards. So I command you to leave suggestions in comments forthwith.

Yesterday I suggested that this week’s episode of GrodsThink would be online tomorrow and would be predominantly on the subject of the Blanchett Australia 2020 summit. Unfortunately it turns out that I was quoted out of context and I’d like to issue a clarification. The reality is that there won’t be a GrodsThink episode this week and I regret any misunderstanding that may have resulted from the incorrect reporting of my words.

You see, we normally record GrodsThink on Tuesday nights but had moved this week’s recording to tonight because I’m off to Cairns after work tomorrow. This arvo at 3pm Ant got in touch and said he had a headache or the consumption or something, Jeremy had previously expressed doubt at his ability to show up on time, and I was flat out at work and also feeling a bit flat and poorly. So we decided (between the three of us because J. Surname was uncontactable) that we’d kill this week’s episode and return refreshed next week. When I finally got Surname on the phone to tell him not to bother coming along he said not to worry because he didn’t even realise it was on.

This is the level of professionalism we’re talking about here, people.

Anyway, we do apologise to those listeners out there who enjoy the sound of smug leftists sitting around loving the sound of their own voices, but rest assured we’ll be back next week.

ps/- Our states of mind have nothing — absolutely nothing — to do with the fact that GroupthinkFC lost 18-0 yesterday morning.

The latest GrodsThink episode will be available tomorrow morning, but in the meantime here’s the wacky, crazy banter and last minute organisation that takes place in the minutes before going “live” while Craig’s recording but nobody else knows.

In this episode The Editor, John Surname, Ant Rogenous, Jeremy Sear and Craig discuss the following:

* The Liberal Party
* Four Corners
* Brenden Nelson
* Kevin Rudd
* WorkChoices
* Bank ads
* Right Wing Death Beasts
* Gun nuts

Because Craig’s a wacky, crazy, zany, dude, he sometimes hits record when he shouldn’t. This is a section of the audio he captured by recording after we finished GrodsCast 4.
