Party Quirks 13 with Tom

·57 min·5 clips
The Aunty Donna crew celebrates the release of season two of their 'most upsetting guessing game' with a special Party Quirks episode featuring Tom.
This episode of the Aunty Donna podcast is a Party Quirks special, a recurring format where the hosts adopt bizarre character traits for a guest to guess. It opens with an ad read for a 'win a million dollar sale' before transitioning into the show's introduction. The hosts announce that this episode commemorates the release of season two of their web series 'Mug' (Most Upsetting Guessing Game) on Grouse House. Guest Tom is introduced, and the game begins with Tom leaving the studio while the hosts devise their quirks. Broden's quirk is that he is made of atom-sized pebbles terrified of milk because it would turn him into 'forbidden cereal', and he dislikes crop tops but likes choc-tops. Mark's quirk is that he is Batman with Tim Burton flair, whose parents were killed by Jack Nicholson's Joker at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne. Zach's quirk is that he is the 'premier premier', an amalgamation of all Victorian premiers since 1990 (including Joan Kerner, Jeff Kennett, and Dan Andrews), and he is on a runaway steam train with Brad Pitt, miming how to stop it. Tom returns and spends the rest of the episode trying to guess these quirks with occasional 'help' from Mark, who is not actually playing. The guessing involves references to Victorian politics, Batman lore, cereal brands, and film trivia, leading to comedic frustration and absurd explanations. The episode concludes after about 55 minutes with the hosts promoting their web series and teasing an aftershow.
