This is it. The last stretch. The marathon is almost complete. But what have we learnt in our time? And why is the burner phone ringing? And what is an overlooked issue affecting all Australians with waists? All these questions and more are answered.
Alex is hitting his stride when it comes to limiting his stride to indoors. We also discuss Tiger King the new Netflix show, and oh boy, it's a doozy.
We're at the business end now people. Alex is wasting time. Kyran is wasting food. Things are falling off bikes. Underwear has become optional. I really is two men at the end of their tether. Enjoy!
Law Ardern? Laura Dern? Get it?? Anyway, Kyran brings a special treat for Alex, who is reeling from an online confrontation. We talk about our favourite type of pasta but can't remember the name of a lot of them which is annoying. It's Day 11 of quarantine, come on, give us a break.
Corona is back on the menu boys. We also discuss the Alex's prison prospects and Australia's hottest apps.
We have a normal podcast on a normal day and talk about normal things because everything is normal and we like normality. Thank you.
Alex is extremely happy with today's delivery, but is unsure whether he'll ever get to enjoy it. Kyran aims to be an excellent city leader but starts veering into dangerous territory, and we both set ourselves a near impossible challenge....
We reach the half way point of quarantine, also known as "quara" and the tables are turning. We discuss the big covid closures, and have our first unexpected visitor of the podcast...
As we inch closer to the end of the first week, Alex lets the chest hair out. We discover how listeners cut their nails, and also realise that the greatest threat of all might just be the moustached man getting the flat whites...
Long live the weekend! This ep is HOT because temperatures feature heavily; both Alex's internal body and people's favourite in general. It's wild stuff, but hey, that's what you get on a cRaZy Saturday in quarantine.
Day 4. The cracks are beginning to show in Alex's demeanour as the pandemic podcast enters it's 4th day. Luckily we have the greatest talkback topic of all time - "What's your favourite river?" to get us through...
The rollercoaster of emotions continues, as Alex's cabin fever manifests itself in somewhat confronting ways. We try and figure out who makes Australia's hold music, and Kyran drops off a few presents; some better than others.
Quarantine continues, and Alex has completely given up on shoes. Kyran brings a gift, and we discuss what is going to happen with everyone's frequent flyer points.
A brand new season of Mirth sees the Comedy Festival cancelled and Alex quarantined in his house. The stock market's falling. Borders are closing. In the midst of the chaos, how will our heroes succeed in bringing you the hottest audio content on a timely basis? Particularly when they struggled even when they weren't self isolating?? There's only one way to find out...
After a short unscheduled break, we admit that you are absolutely the best bunch for sticking with us as we get EXTREMELY busy ahead of the comedy festival.The great news is that in no time the comedy festival will be upon us and we'll be back to regular programming.In the meantime please enjoy this eppy and update from us.

As proud new members of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications we happily deliver this new episode of Mirth featuring radio chat and nonsense to you on time and on budget.
Well between stories of sexual encounters and drive in theatres I think we got some real great Admin done this episode.The Mirth Burner got a real go (0402 011 332), we are developing some Mirthandise (ideas welcome), and the Christmas Party is coming along (December 20), and we finally clearly detail our cafe/bar (BOB Bar in Google Maps, 240 Little Collins St, Melbourne). All of that is surely well worth the price of admission (free).

Falls..., and finally answer the question 'Will Ratdog get a midnight kiss'.All that and more...

Alex Dyson and Didirri had the same piano teacher, and yet Didirri is the only one who has gone on to create a prosperous musical career. Make of that what you will on this delightful half hour, where we discuss country town living and Christian book shop diving amongst other things.
Kyran manages once again to go above and beyond and secure the hottest guests in the country to take Mirth season 4 to the next level. Who else can combine toilet paper chat, climate change discussion, and shameless begging into one tasty half hour? It's ya boyz on Mirth. Rated PG-13.
Brissie recording artist/producer Mallrat is an enigma. Young enough to need fake ID's at times, and yet old enough to tour with Third Eye Blind. She joins myself and Melb artist Woodes in front of the fire to talk about all of that and, well, fire... Because a gig I hosted last week got evacuated due to fire and I just needed to tell someone.
Georgia Mooney (All Our Exes Live In Texas, Supergroup) joins Kyran Wheatley in London to discuss writing albums in London, Georgia's mission to meet Cumberbatch and the infinite queues of Wimbledon.
