Neil Armstrong (Brian Nankervis) & Andre the Giant (Rusty Berther) join me in the historical salad spinner & Andre demonstrates an extraordinarily detailed knowledge of the minutiae of Australian culture: he’s a big fan of the band Sherbet, loves Weetbix & going to weddings in Colac. Neil reveals that he’s a poet at heart, that Buzz Aldrin wet his pants on the moon & the secret of space travel by controlling your own breath. Probably the most unhinged episode to date, it was pure joy be in the orbit of Nezza & Didi.
(This episode was recorded live at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival at the Comedy Republic in April 2024)
