1:04:41

All the food groups get ticked this week, including politicks? Brian blows his horn - or is that his TRUMPet? - on the latest from the US elections.

There is a big serving of sport from AFL to Euros to cricket plus some g…

Brian is as shaky as the Giants' spot in the AFL top 8, but as Toby Green as he might feel, he soldiered on, not to mention he is still leading the Lenny's Fine Food Footy Tipping. But let's not mention that. Finey is no shrinking violet, so he is pretty peeved at the downsizing of many of our favourite food items, from ice creams to hamburgers. Th…
