Lewis Hobba and Craig Quartermaine join host Alice Fraser for episode 157 of The Gargle. All of the news, with none of the politics.
The crisis of male violence against women in this country is escalating, as an average of one woman every four days is killed so far in 2024. The murder of NSW woman Molly Ticehurst allegedly at the hands of her former partner has sparked community outrage and calls for governments to act urgently to protect women against intimate partner violence. We've seen these calls before, but the numbers of dead women continue to be a national shame, so what can and should be done? The panel Bridget Brennan, Karen Middleton and Shane Wright discuss.Elsewhere this week, Australia is pushing back at the power of social media giants. The battle over who can watch video of a violent stabbing - has become an important test – being watched around the world. What control can a nation state wield over big tech? David Speers interviews Independent MP for Fowler in Sydney's southwest Dai Le about her community's social cohesion following the stabbing of a bishop. Mike Bowers talks the week in pictures with Lewis Hobba.
Drawing truth to power is more dangerous in some parts of the world than others. The combination of satire and anger can make the best political cartoons lethal to politicians, unveiling truths around human rights, leadership and freedom. But where do we draw the line between humour, offence and legality? And for cartoonists trapped between censorship and cancellation, what is there still left to draw? Badiucao is one of the most popular and prolific political artist from China, and he confronts a variety of social and political issues head on in his work. He uses his art to challenge the censorship and dictatorship in China. Cathy Wilcox is a cartoonist and illustrator who currently draws editorial cartoons for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Over the years she has illustrated over 20 children's books and been involved in several theatre productions. She has received several Stanley Awards, three Walkley Awards and has twice been named Political Cartoonist of the Year by the Museum of Australian Democracy. ‘Investigative Humourist' Dan Ilic is one of Australia's most prolific comedy voices, known for his work across TV, film, radio and stage. Co-host of the popular podcast and live comedy show A Rational Fear, Dan Ilic and Lewis Hobba brings together industry leaders to use comedy to explore big issues.
Lewis Hobba grew up idolising Triple J. But despite being chosen as Triple J's drive-time co-host by the age of 30, and being selected by Andrew Denton as one of Australia's most creative and talented young performers for the show Hungry Beast, Lewis never felt like he succeeded in anything. In this Vulnerabilitea House, Lewis tells Hugh, Ryan and Josh what it was like behind the scenes for him during this time and how he dealt with crippling anxiety on a daily basis until eventually seeking help.To listen to Lewis's podcast 'Silver Bullet', follow this link: https://bit.ly/3ScFmyBTo hear Ryan's episode where he talks about shame, jealousy and finding his purpose, follow this link: https://bit.ly/46AfnW3To purchase our Vulnerabilitea House card sets, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3PBFlkRSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Face, poison, needles. It just makes sense. Plus, nothing else has worked on this season of Silver Bullet. But are your brave hosts about to give up? Or are they about to pay a registered nurse to palm slam a few CCs of botulinum toxin into their facial muscles? The second one. It's the second one.
Someone whispering sweet nothings into your ear at bedtime? That's what ASMR offers, and whole relationships are built on less. This episode, comedian Jordan Barr entices Hobba & Hing into being very, very quietly talked at in the name of wellness and a good night's sleep. Will it fix them once and for all?
You might assume that running is a no-brainer for improved mental health. Fresh air, exercise, endorphins? That's tick, tick, tick. But prepare to have your assumptions challenged. This episode, Lego Masters co-host and pro builder Ryan “Brickman” McNaught challenges Hobba & Hing to try long distance running - that's right, the thing that makes the guy lonely in 1962's The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. But will the solitude be just what they needed?
Sleep: it's one of the only things you do every day that regularly has the word "beauty" attached to the front of it. Probably worth getting better at it, then. This week's guest, musician Alex Lahey, enters the saloon with a silver bullet that's affordable, attainable and will supposedly make oyu more beautiful: memory foam pillows. Will it find its mark in Hobba & Hing?
The key to wellness is diet, exercise and rest... or so the lamestream media will try to tell you. But sometimes you need a wise friend like Matt Okine to keep it 100 and tell you that what you really need to do is catch public transport to a waterside pub that you've never been to before and write a rap verse while looking out at the water. That's what happens in this episode.
Slurping on the calcium and collagen from dead animal bones: it works for wolves! And also, apparently, for AFL superstar and Collingwood captain Darcy Moore, who has been fortifying his body with regular cups of bone broth. But will it be a silver bullet for two men who straight up do not exercise?
They call it “the beautiful game”, which is, we assume, because it makes you gorgeous. Exhibit A is Hobba & Hing's guest this week: songwriter, pop star & football enthusiast Ruel, who ordered them down to the field for a one-on-one penalty shoot-out with a mate. Will football fever grant them immunity against other ills, like cowpox... or just leave them hot and bothered?
What does nearly every beautiful famous person have in common? CORRECT: supernaturally even, blemish-free skin. Podcaster, comedian and famed antagonist of Hobba & Hing Jess Perkins arrives this week with a Silver Bullet they should have already tried, getting a fake tan. But will the tanning process leave them looking like golden gods... or rotisserie chickens?
The time has come for Silver Bullet to enter the New Age. Writer and broadcaster Veronica Milsom demands that Hobba & Hing get a reading from a psychic medium - and unlike the esteemed seers they visit, you may not be able to predict where this episode goes. Unless your prediction involves a handsome man named Deniz....
Could stuff that's bad for you... actually be good? Comedian Aaron Chen introduces Hobba & Hing to the concept of yin & yang, as it applies to their journey to fix themselves. Specifically: occasionally doing something so unhealthy and antisocial it forces a course correction. You can probably imagine where this is going!
Seven meals a day. A steak as big as a man's clenched fist for breakfast. TikTok sensation Tom Cardy reckons Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's diet builds champions, so Hobba & Hing pit themselves against a lifetime's worth of protein in a single day.
Dear diary: could a gratitude journal be the key to happiness... for meee? Hobba & Hing embrace legendary drag queen & spokesmodel Courtney Act's recommendation of keeping a daily gratitude journal. Reflecting on one's blessings with neither ego nor cynicism - now just how darn hard could that be?
What price to pay for good health? Comedian Becky Lucas' humble suggestion of a martini and a dozen oysters may not necessarily involve getting into activewear, but could it still be the mental and physical boost that Hobba & Hing yearn for?
"If I can hit 70%, I'll call it a win". 24 hours after he announced he was leaving triple j, broadcaster, Lewis Hobba joins Wil to share his story, including his unique path into the entertainment business, and why reframing standards made work much more enjoyable.

Would you let someone jam their fingers in your mouth and have a fiddle? What about if you had to pay for it? Podcaster, TV host and charming friend Abbie Chatfield swears by the power of the TMJ massage, and Hobba & Hing graciously allow it to try to fix them. Is it the Silver Bullet they're seeking?
Lying in brine in a darkened room: it's not just for pickles anymore. Comedian, philanthropist and legal resident of New Zealand Chris Parker thinks float tanks could hold a shortcut to enlightenment for him, and Hobba & Hing are obliged to hear him out. But will it be a Silver Bullet?
If hell had a yoga studio, it would be Bikram. But could litres of excreted sweat, an acrid stench and borderline heatstroke also hold the key to unlocking wellness? Former Australian Of The Year Grace Tame sent Hobba & Hing to try it for themselves - and the shirts... were optional.
Everyone says there are no shortcuts to self-improvement. But what if everyone is wrong? On this comedy podcast, Lewis Hobba and Michael Hing try the gadgets, the hobbies, the experiences and wellness trends that their celebrity guests swear by to find out if they also work for them.
