Somehow Related with Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil

It's a triple! Sam's dialed it up. She's back on the horse. The big guy in the far north east of Asia, the big guy in Hollywood and the drivers going everywhere in between.

They're both cold? Unlike the Australian summer that we're currently going through, that has also taken Glenn and Dave away from the studio.

I think Sam's dropped in a nod to Dave and Kitty's pronunciation of 'nachos', which you'll recognise if you listen to The Junkess . Drought and Yo Yos are similar in that they're both widely and not so widely known for each having a distinct lack of moisture. But somewhere, and somehow, in history they share a story that's rather unbelieveable. Remember Edwin Maher? Here's a story about how he end...

Could be anything! Pretty wide pitch there from Sam. Add a run to that over, will you? But she's good. It makes sense if you know it.
