Dave and Adam are heading home after a gig in Ballarat. Lots covered heading east on the Western Highway; awkward corporate gigs, Lawrence Mooney's reception in Ballarat, handing back some of the gig fee when things went that bad and some requisite junk food discussion.

Dave and Harley are on the way back from a gig at the Notting Hill Hotel, an old Monash Uni student pub in Melbourne's south east.
