Neighbours not behaving as you think they should? Take them to the High Court of Australia... there's a precedent for that!  Also, ignore Dan's comments about the upcoming Burnside show... this episode was recorded last week and that show has already been. Thanks everyone that came out!    #AdeLOL #HaveALaughHaveALOL #HeapsGoodHistory #AdelaideComedy #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #AdelaidePodcast

Tom wanted a dedicated federal election episode looking at all the South Australian seats in play, but Dan overruled this idea because he was worried that Tom would go off on some wild tangent about Wok-In-A-Box owners and the dangers of climate change. Never mind listeners, maybe Tom can start his own spinoff podcast with a hilarious look at South Australian politics... could call it 'Off the Record' or something like that...  Anyways, Tom was able to convince Dan to do a little bit of...

Lime Scooters were rolled out during the 2019 Adelaide Fringe (since replaced by two other operators) and proved to be fairly popular. We discuss the pros and cons and explore some stories of scooter riders who did NOT play by the rules... and by the rules we mean 'the law'.  #AdeLOL #HeapsGoodHistory #LimeScooters #Giggleaide #AdelaideComedy #ComedyPodcast #HaveALaughHaveALOL

Pinba, otherwise known as 'Logic' was an Aboriginal man from the vicinity of Lake Eyre and Cooper Creek. In the late 19th Century he was arrested for manslaughter and went on to lead perhaps the most daring escape from Yatala Labour Prison in our state's history. We explore his epic story whilst enjoying this week's beer of the episode, which was Southwark Stout.  #AdeLOL #HeapsGoodHistory #AdelaideHistory #AdelaideComedy #AdelaidePodcast #SouthAustralianHistory

A special new series of Giggleaides showcasing some of the wildest and whackiest tales from the early years of the Adelaide Crows (based on a book that Dan found at his local Savers).  This one tells the story of when Wayne Weidemann rented a stretch limo, and did some racially questionable things in South Central Los Angeles.  We also discuss our up and coming shows on ABC Radio Adelaide starting TOMORROW - Tuesday 3.30pm with Sonya Feldhoff.

The Clipper Ship City of Adelaide is the world's oldest clipper ship. Built in Sunderland, England, by William Pile, Hay and co. and launched on 7 May 1864. It now resides at the docks of Port Adelaide where it is currently being displayed and painstakingly restored by a troop of incredible volunteers.  The ship has had an fascinating, and at times hilarious, life. She made 23 return journeys between Plymouth and Adelaide during the mid 19th Century before serving as a naval training vessel...

In this cheeky little Giggleaide we take a trip out of the State's capital city and travel a few hours north to the coastal town of Port Augusta, where they've recently been experiencing a few problems at their local wharf... 500 to be exact.  It promises to be a trolley full of lols.  #AdeLOL #AdelaideComedy #AdelaidePodcast #HeapsGoodHistory #HaveALaughHaveALoL #GibbsEmAGo #ComedyPodcast

A little Giggleaide from recent South Australia history which reminds us all of the importance of doing a robust cost assessment.  Remember folks: If you can't run a WokInABox, you probably shouldn't have a go at building any tram networks.  #AdeLOL #AdelaideComedy #AdelaidePodcast #HeapsGoodHistory #HaveALaughHaveALoL #GibbsEmAGo #ComedyPodcast

With Christmas fast approaching we decided to take a look at the story of William Williamson (yes, that's a real name). Who was flung in prison during Christmas of 1845 for the theft of his neighbours Christmas dinner.  Believe us when we tell you that the goose wasn't the only thing that was cooked in this tale. #AdeLOL #HeapsGoodHistory #AdelaideHistory #ComedyPodcast #AdeLOLPodcast #HaveALaugh #HaveALoL

It's election season all across Adelaide, and after long deliberation we've finally found a political candidate we're willing to endorse (in addition to Mark Aldridge of course). For the City of Charles Sturt we will be giving our endorsement to Paul Kitsis. We were particularly won over by his eye catching flyer and his commitment to democracy. We should also point out that neither of us live in his electorate, we just think "you's" should all get out there and show him some love.    Check...

We take a quick look at a not so famous South Australian invention, the military tank. Although not officially credited to it's SA inventor, it's pretty clear someone's just ripped off a Heaps Good Historical item once again.
