Wrote a thing about the comedy show which inspired me to become a comedy writer, Brian Munich and Friends, which then led me to try and remember every live show that had ever made me Gut Laugh. The link to the whole article is in my bio.
25 years ago I stumbled into a show called Brian Munich and Friends, by @_jasonmarion_ and @raymatsen at the Melbourne comedy Festival. And it changed my life. (Link in the bio)
I wanted to play saxophone. They made me play cello. The rage has been gnawing at me for 35 years. Also why The saxophone solo in Never Tear Us Apart is the greatest sax solo of all time. (Link in my bio)
Over the last couple of days, a particular YouTube video about an arcade game adorned with Triple R stickers popped up in our emails and DMs 🕹️ Was it really a relic of the station?
It was! And to find out more, we went straight to the source – one of the original culprits, former Triple R presenter @declan_fay , shares more about Lucky and Wild's time at Triple R.
A massive thank you to @games_for_james for unearthing this piece of Triple R history for us, no less in our 50th year! And if you're curious about the game in it's current day shape - you can watch the whole video on their YouTube channel.
Do you have a memory of playing Lucky and Wild at our Fitzroy office? Let us know in the comments.
We're taking a trip down memory lane all year long – sharing special moments, images, audio and more, as we dive into #50yearsofRRR. Stay tuned for more!

A wonderful experience writing for the AACTAS with Emma Holland who is a brilliant co-writer/youth consultant/devil on my shoulder. Didn’t know Celeste Barber before this, and she was wonderful to work with and help fulfill her childhood dream of being a professional cheerleader. And I got to stand within three metres of Dacre Montgomery from Stranger Things which has given me some very brief credibility with my 12 year old son. PS - Go see Emma Holland’s comedy festival show.
