The deep thinking ChatGPT model O3 has done some properly fine work on these shownotes. Behold the slop. Enjoy!
A T10 typhoon batters Hong Kong while political storms swirl from Canberra to Westminster. Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack break down Australian polling shocks, UK voting reforms, Middle-East flashpoints, the tangled Epstein files, and a grab-bag of sport, entertainment, and aviation safety stories.
Here are the robot's ten title ideas. Do they suck? I dunno, haven't listened to the episode yet.

Episode Highlights: Robot Edition
• “This could be the end of the Liberal Party as a national force if they don’t find the centre ground—and fast.” — Jack the Insider
• “Votes at 16? Sure—but give them a civics class before you hand them the ballot.” — Hong Kong Jack
• The boys predict Tasmania’s next premier may “need a calendar, not a throne” given fragile coalition math.
• Coldplay’s stage-dive mishap leads to a riff on “Slip, Slop, Slap—Rock-star edition.”
- "these quotes would be a real knee slapper - if I had knees!" - ChatGPT probably.
