1. Romans, Magic and Ghosts, Oh My!
Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:30:00 +1100
Dive straight in to the first chuckle worthy episode of GYHOF.
We travel to Ancient Rome with Caesar and the hardships of ruling #slayqueen,
a short skit to warm the cockles in the middle and finish with the first episode of Paranormal Patrol
where unexplained anomalies draw a chaotically funny team to find ghosts. Or whatever it is making
those weird sounds.
Join us for a laugh at the end of a very long week.

2. News and the Sound of Nothing
Fri, 14 Feb 2025 06:30:00 +1100
Second episode bringing you News as it breaks, before it breaks you. As well as the challenges of Rome with love and war, and the ongoing investigations at the old gaol at Lady Loosely's Head.
Will Caesar remember his wife's loving words? Will Buster and the gang find the things that go bump in the nights? It's all exciting, all exhilarating (and chuckle worthy) here on Getting You Home On Friday!

In Episode 3, the Delegation of the Hun visit Ancient Rome with an intriguing deal, we follow the Sheep Trials in Tasmania and the team make contact in Paranormal Patrol. Physical Contact. Just not the kind Buster wants.
Go on, have another chuckle on a simmering Friday, bursting for the weekend ahead.

Friday, just one step closer to the weekend.

It's a very special Friday with a loving letter from everyone's favourite Aunt Agatha, as well as our two Aussie Farmers taking it easy outback and the eccentric team, Paranormal Patrol, dodging that which they wish to find (Ghosts, it's Ghost's). Puns, dry humour and smiles all round for this Friday, no matter the weather.

6. Dogs, Dodecahedrons and a Gold Star for Pete.
Fri, 14 Mar 2025 06:30:00 +1100
Friday I'm in love, with some good old fashioned soap opera drama, a very good dog on the farms at Ed & Ted and some more ghosts busting on Paranormal Patrol. Whose the bestest boy in the middle of nowhere? Will we ever get a satisfying love triangle in an audio series? Will the team on Paranormal Patrol finally get some solid evidence of the unknown? There's only one way to find out, hope you enjoy.

8. My Precious Doowdrah Eniuneg
Fri, 28 Mar 2025 06:30:00 +1100
In this stunningly bizarre week of March, we try to humour you with gags, jokes and more gags with Short Skits, On the Roman Nose and Paranormal Patrol. How does Caesar deal with news from overseas? Who left the skid marks on the Marbled Palace floor? Who are the barbarians? And of course we continue our enthusiastic group of investigators as they devise ways to communicate with the dead and their colleagues alike. Buster just can't seem to get the message...
Wishing you a gorgeously lazy or adventurous weekend ahead to leave the week behind.

9. Dry, Dry, Just Not in Question Time
Fri, 04 Apr 2025 06:30:00 +1100
No matter where in the world you are, you're probably looking for an escape and we have just the thing. Some more spooky, punny adventures with Paranormal Patrol, some Ed & Ted in the Australian Outback, and one of our personal favourites, a skit from Question Time. Some political satire to end the week with. Though with all the political chaos one must ask, how much is too much, and what is satire when everything is a bit of a joke...
Some old school laughs for a modern time, join us a for a chuckle, stay for the laughs.

10. Prophecy, Fate and the Odd Bogey
Fri, 11 Apr 2025 06:30:00 +1000
It's Friday, finish up the week with a smile or a laugh and join Caesar and Sensus in dealing with crime and justice, a short a merry skit to break up the episode and finish with the finale of Paranormal Patrol at Lady Loosely's Head. It's not goodbye forever for the Paranormal Patrol, but they do need to wrap up this investigation and answer once and for all, is the gaol at Lady Loosely's Head haunted? And also who is doing the haunting? Does the HR department need to know about Buster and the Stool? Does insurance handle ghost related accidents? For all that and more, join us on Getting You Home On Friday!

11. For Pittius Sake, it’s Ol’ Blue and Edgar.
Fri, 18 Apr 2025 06:30:00 +1000
It's Friday and we have a nice bag of mixed skits to get you through the week. We bring you political chaos and humour with On the Roman Nose, some good old Australian love for the Blue Heeler in Ed & Ted, and a glorious entrance with one of our favourite Characters, Old Edgar. We explore the beauty of names, lineage, the glories of youth and the importance a good exorcism at the end of a week.
So sit back, relax and have a laugh at the end of another chaotic week.

12. Introducing our Private Dick
Fri, 25 Apr 2025 06:30:00 +1000
It's Friday sometime in April and we join our newest Detective on the block, Dick Clever, for an all-round stylistic and amusing approach to crime. Not just any crime, but one involving cod pieces. Disturbingly curious. We then take you to the Doctor's office, where nothing is quite as it seems, and then some amusing storytelling with Ed & Ted. They just can't seem to understand "women folk" these days. In turn, I don't quite understand them so I think we're even.
Either way, we hope you enjoy another week of skits both short and long, and remember size doesn't matter, as long as it tickles your fancy.

13. Push Bikes, Smokes and one Deliciously Cranky Captain
Fri, 02 May 2025 06:30:00 +1000
It's Friday (somewhere in the world) and we're bringing you hot news straight from the press (don't burn your fingers!), some cooling Australian banter between our beloved farmers Ed & Ted and then heating up again with our deviously delightful Detective Dick! So many temperatures, so many flavours of humour, how could we spoil you so? It's because you deserve it.
Sit back, relax, and prepare for a quick bite of wonderfully humorous....uh...humour.

14. Caesar, The Archbishop, and a Detective walk into a Bar
Fri, 09 May 2025 06:30:00 +1000
During tumultuous changes in this world of ours, we turn to the intelligence, wisdom and understanding of the Archbishop, the diplomacy and gentle rule of Lord Caesar and the incredible justice work by Detective Clever. Scratch that, we turn to the humour that all three worlds provide, with puns, quick wit and more twists and turns than that Labyrinth they stuck that cowman in.
Between visiting the Coliseum for some good old-fashioned entertainment, listening to the bewildering musings of Adhere in Dick Clever and listening to the chaotic mind of the Archbishop, I think we have enough humour to get you through the end of the week.

Three skits and stories to get you through the end of the week before whatever you have planned for this glorious weekend.

Join us for the jokes and quick wit, and stay for the plot.

16. Organs, Delegations and an Issue with Jurisdiction
Fri, 23 May 2025 06:30:00 +1000
It's wild to think that spring is blooming ever so gently on one side of the planet, autumn falling dramatically in the other and the continual season of confusion flourishes everywhere else. What day is it? Why is the year going quickly? Why do I still have nightmares about High School?
We have all the answers to a bunch of questions (just none of the above) in this week's episode of Getting You Home on Friday. Join us as Caesar and Sensus deal with yet another delegation, Dick Clever finds another lead in the Cod Piece Murders and we have another short and sweet skit for your ears to roll over in delight with.
May your week end well and your organs to be untouched.

17. Don't Work with Children, Grown or Otherwise
Fri, 30 May 2025 06:30:00 +1000
Children, small, adorable, capable of all sorts of mayhem. Even when fully grown.
Join us for more Dick Clever, Ed & Ted and Short Skits, all full of creative comedy and at times....children. We hope we can put a smile on your dial as we come to the end of another week in this glorious world we call Earth.
