25. A Good Frisking at the Party

Good Day, today the Prime Minister's approval rating has slipped in the Polls, however, his ratings have improved with the Germans and remains flat with the French. Ed & Ted are debriefing after a family party (who was that guy with the mo' and limp?) and we tune in once again to Dick Clever for the Penultimate episode. It was 9:55 and a mist rolled in from the lounge room as they were questioning the enormous character of Cecil Lardbottom. Three stories and skits, three chances for a giggle...

24. Tongs for the Memories

So, the next lead lay dead on the slab in Doc's room. Or at least his head. Who had killed Ernest Nutpucker, and why had he ordered a large quantity of fish fingers? It was late, and Dick had yet another dead end or end dead....Meanwhile, Caesar and Sensus were dealing with a crisis of a different kind...an accountant! All so crucial, all so precise...all so very...very...precise. So join us for a nice short and sweet On the Roman Nose and Dick Clever episode. Murder and Ancient Rome? Say less. ...

23. Who's Askin'?

Come with me now, down the little road to a land that time forgot, where stories run rife with wit and comedy, and tales grow by the bunches. Ed & Ted are chatting...again...but this time the subject is extracurricular activities. Dick had just begun questioning the giant food distributor, Cecil Lardbottom. The only man in history whose stomach was affected by The moon's gravity. But, are we any closer to finding the character behind the Cod Piece Murders? Or is this just another red herring...

22. It Hadn’t Rained, It Was Just Wet

It was 5:15 on a wet afternoon. It hadn't rained, it was just wet. With suspects denying the undeniable, wild sports events livening up the party and Peace Talks in Crete, we have a short and sweet collection of skits and stories to get you home on whatever Friday you're experiencing. Or not Friday, one can definitely enjoy this on a not-Friday sort of day. Now, to Rome! and an unnamed city with lots of murders! And a sports event! *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" ...

21. A Legend in Batter, a Dash of Magic and a Pinch of Love

So, there we were, with Regina about to spill the beans, the ham and several different condiments, Ed and Ted trying to navigate the world of mental health and some guy doing Magic onstage. It was an odd situation to be in, but by the Gods, it's what you expect when we're Getting You Home On Friday. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like it to be, but was written and recorded in a different time. We acknowledge that the world is full...

20. Ears like a Mule and a Fish Finger Packet

We're on the streets of Ancient Rome, joined by Caesar, Sensus and a fat arsed.....whoops...Phatinas to look at ways to improve the almost perfect city. We join a chaotic collective of Politicians in Question Time with an incredible Point of Order...and we follow Dick Clever hot on the trail of whoever is molesting Fish Fingers and shoving them into orifices around the city (the orifices belonging to their murdered victims). Who is the murderer? What can we invent to improve Rome? Are Politician...

19. Cutting the Fog with a Spoon

Breaking News, there have been developments in the Exclusive School of Welltado as well as other bizarre governmental tantrums. Detective Dick Clever continues to investigate even when the fog comes rolling in and his colleagues are not as helpful as he would like...and Ed has a new hat! All the excitement, all the comedy, right here on Getting You Home On Friday. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like it to be, but was written and r...

18. I Love the Sticky Bits

It's another Friday and we are hitting the comedy ground running with some satirical political announcements from our glorious PM, some very serious issues in Ancient Rome (Chef has really stepped up their game) and we introduce Dick Clever's latest obstacle in working the Cod Piece Murders; a female partner *gasp*. All three stories and skits will surely send you off with a smile, maybe a chuckle, into the last of the week and into the sunrise of the weekend. And if you work weekends, well, we ...

17. Don't Work with Children, Grown or Otherwise

Children, small, adorable, capable of all sorts of mayhem. Even when fully grown. Join us for more Dick Clever, Ed & Ted and Short Skits, all full of creative comedy and at times....children. We hope we can put a smile on your dial as we come to the end of another week in this glorious world we call Earth. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like it to be, but was written and recorded in a different time. We acknowledge that the wo...

16. Organs, Delegations and an Issue with Jurisdiction

It's wild to think that spring is blooming ever so gently on one side of the planet, autumn falling dramatically in the other and the continual season of confusion flourishes everywhere else. What day is it? Why is the year going quickly? Why do I still have nightmares about High School? We have all the answers to a bunch of questions (just none of the above) in this week's episode of Getting You Home on Friday. Join us as Caesar and Sensus deal with yet another delegation, Dick Clever finds ano...

15. The Humble Potato and Other Stories

Three skits and stories to get you through the end of the week before whatever you have planned for this glorious weekend. Join us for more words of wisdom from the Archbishop, some stories about Australian Weather with Ed & Ted and Dick Clever is delivered a hot steamy lead with the hot and steamy Regina (depending on your taste). Join us for the jokes and quick wit, and stay for the plot. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like ...

14. Caesar, The Archbishop, and a Detective walk into a Bar

During tumultuous changes in this world of ours, we turn to the intelligence, wisdom and understanding of the Archbishop, the diplomacy and gentle rule of Lord Caesar and the incredible justice work by Detective Clever. Scratch that, we turn to the humour that all three worlds provide, with puns, quick wit and more twists and turns than that Labyrinth they stuck that cowman in. Between visiting the Coliseum for some good old-fashioned entertainment, listening to the bewildering musings of Adhere...

13. Push Bikes, Smokes and one Deliciously Cranky Captain

It's Friday (somewhere in the world) and we're bringing you hot news straight from the press (don't burn your fingers!), some cooling Australian banter between our beloved farmers Ed & Ted and then heating up again with our deviously delightful Detective Dick! So many temperatures, so many flavours of humour, how could we spoil you so? It's because you deserve it. Sit back, relax, and prepare for a quick bite of wonderfully humorous....uh...humour. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "L...

12. Introducing our Private Dick

It's Friday sometime in April and we join our newest Detective on the block, Dick Clever, for an all-round stylistic and amusing approach to crime. Not just any crime, but one involving cod pieces. Disturbingly curious. We then take you to the Doctor's office, where nothing is quite as it seems, and then some amusing storytelling with Ed & Ted. They just can't seem to understand "women folk" these days. In turn, I don't quite understand them so I think we're even. Either way, we hope you enj...

11. For Pittius Sake, it’s Ol’ Blue and Edgar.

It's Friday and we have a nice bag of mixed skits to get you through the week. We bring you political chaos and humour with On the Roman Nose, some good old Australian love for the Blue Heeler in Ed & Ted, and a glorious entrance with one of our favourite Characters, Old Edgar. We explore the beauty of names, lineage, the glories of youth and the importance a good exorcism at the end of a week. So sit back, relax and have a laugh at the end of another chaotic week. *We acknowledge that the i...

10. Prophecy, Fate and the Odd Bogey

It's Friday, finish up the week with a smile or a laugh and join Caesar and Sensus in dealing with crime and justice, a short a merry skit to break up the episode and finish with the finale of Paranormal Patrol at Lady Loosely's Head. It's not goodbye forever for the Paranormal Patrol, but they do need to wrap up this investigation and answer once and for all, is the gaol at Lady Loosely's Head haunted? And also who is doing the haunting? Does the HR department need to know about Buster and the ...

9. Dry, Dry, Just Not in Question Time

No matter where in the world you are, you're probably looking for an escape and we have just the thing. Some more spooky, punny adventures with Paranormal Patrol, some Ed & Ted in the Australian Outback, and one of our personal favourites, a skit from Question Time. Some political satire to end the week with. Though with all the political chaos one must ask, how much is too much, and what is satire when everything is a bit of a joke... Some old school laughs for a modern time, join us a for ...

8. My Precious Doowdrah Eniuneg

In this stunningly bizarre week of March, we try to humour you with gags, jokes and more gags with Short Skits, On the Roman Nose and Paranormal Patrol. How does Caesar deal with news from overseas? Who left the skid marks on the Marbled Palace floor? Who are the barbarians? And of course we continue our enthusiastic group of investigators as they devise ways to communicate with the dead and their colleagues alike. Buster just can't seem to get the message... Wishing you a gorgeously lazy or adv...

6. Dogs, Dodecahedrons and a Gold Star for Pete.

Friday I'm in love, with some good old fashioned soap opera drama, a very good dog on the farms at Ed & Ted and some more ghosts busting on Paranormal Patrol. Whose the bestest boy in the middle of nowhere? Will we ever get a satisfying love triangle in an audio series? Will the team on Paranormal Patrol finally get some solid evidence of the unknown? There's only one way to find out, hope you enjoy. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one w...

It's a very special Friday with a loving letter from everyone's favourite Aunt Agatha, as well as our two Aussie Farmers taking it easy outback and the eccentric team, Paranormal Patrol, dodging that which they wish to find (Ghosts, it's Ghost's).

Ah, another end of a week, sit back, or sit on the edge of your seat, either way, as our Paranormal Investigators find out the true meaning of "24", we join a very enthusiastic reader and critic for a weekly book club and chew the cud with Ed & Ted in the Australian Outback. Friday, just one step closer to the weekend. *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would like it to be, but was written and recorded separately in a different time, re...

In Episode 3, the Delegation of the Hun visit Ancient Rome with an intriguing deal, we follow the Sheep Trials in Tasmania and the team make contact in Paranormal Patrol. Physical Contact.

2. News and the Sound of Nothing

Second episode bringing you News as it breaks, before it breaks you. As well as the challenges of Rome with love and war, and the ongoing investigations at the old gaol at Lady Loosely's Head. Will Caesar remember his wife's loving words? Will Buster and the gang find the things that go bump in the nights? It's all exciting, all exhilarating (and chuckle worthy) here on Getting You Home On Friday! *We acknowledge that the introduction of "Ladies and Gentlemen" is not as inclusive as one would li...
