    - where is james?- stu, dane and pili are back again for this episode, and luckily pete easily replaces james obsessive compulsive role with his own obscene, insulting self- WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS: our nz correspondant, pete, gives a kiwi twist to the segment. he's angry enough to actually do the segment justice, unlike james and stu, who dont have the hatred or passion for it much. Big headphones, and kevin federline (prononced `doo-ch-ebag')- PETE IN EXILE: pete retells some of his wacky adventures in new zealand (at his sexshop), this section probably isnt suitable for kids (but make them listen anyway - itll be one more kid that pete has messed up)-CONFESSIONS OF A SATURDAY NIGHT: a story written by several authors for stu's 21st. its about sunshine, lollypops, rainbows and unicorns. plus a normal voicemail message left by luke and stu for pete.- maybe because james isn't here, the show wraps up quite early, before our quality control falls through.- plus music from lemon jelly, kevin federline, fergie, and human nature (not really, dane just requested we play human nature)http://www.archive.org/download/ChooseYourOwnAdventure_15/chinese_democracy.mp3
