Well, we just had a great show. We had Christiaan Van Vuuren. We had Madeline Stewart. We had Louis Hobba. All in this space here at FB high radio, and we had a fantastic show. But I lost it. Yes, I pulled the hard drive out before I was meant to. And the whole show is totally gone. But the good news is we've got a stack of content to get through stuff that we have made earlier for the show. And I'm just going to put it together and run it for you right now. It's that easy. So before we play, the hits, are gonna let you know we do have a Melbourne Comedy Festival show. The Tickets are on sale. Now. We're about 30% 40% sold out. So probably in about five weeks time when the show is on will be completely sold out. So make sure you get your tickets for that. We're playing the Melbourne Town Hall on April six. One show only. It's a big show. We've got the ARIA award winning comedy Joe bridey and white from tonight late we've got the Walkley award winning Patricia vellus the Walkley award losing James Colley he writes for the weekly Unknown Speaker 1:00 Multiple award winning Alex Fraser, DJ Dylan Bain with their Louis harbour and I will also be there we have been nominated for several esteem prizes. Also, we have a Patreon go to patreon.com forward slash irrational fear and give us some money. The show takes a little bit to kind of put on the road. So we've got a few expenses if you can help us do that, that'd be great. I would love 100 of you who listen to jump on Patreon and subscribe to the three bucks a month. I promise you we'll be delivering new podcasts that exist now and won't get deleted. Oh my god, I can't believe it deleted the first show back. This show is recorded on gadigal Land of the euro nation and I pay our respects to elder's past present and emerging sovereignty was never stated. And as I would normally say let's stop the show. A rational fear contains naughty words like bricks cambro fan and section 40 of a rational fear recommended listening by emerge your audience Unknown Speaker 2:00 Tonight on a rational fear as the Australian Government prepares to ban cash transactions over $10,000 It leaves drug dealers with only one choice to buy and sell drugs with rolls of toilet paper instead. And the federal government has rolled out funding Australia's only dedicated bushfire Research Centre, claiming that there's no way to guarantee the prevention of bushfires in only marginal electrics. And after last year cutting $100 million from the CSI row, the federal government generously boosted their funding by 2 million to fast track a Corona virus faxing $2 million. So to put it in a way that a government minister might understand it's about the same price as a rugby clubs women's change room, wash your hands twice and don't touch your face. This is irrational fear. Unknown Speaker 2:58 Like I said at the very top of the show where you Unknown Speaker 3:00 We have a very short show for you tonight. First up, we spoke with journalist Asher wolf about what kinds of things people should really be stocking up on during this coronavirus pandemic....
