Episodes 7
Episode 40
By day he is a mild mannered, stand-up comedian, by night he hosts Australia's own musicology game show. The man is Adam Hills. His side kicks are Bird-Boy Alan Brough (masquerading as a comedian and actor) and Girl-Wonder Myf Warhurst (getting information from her triple J program). Together they fight the evils lurking in music and musicians.
Villian guests this week are the evil Dancing With The Stars judge Todd KcKenney, dangerous composer Russell Morris, lady-of-the-night comedian Meshel Laurie, and wanna-be-bad-guy comedian Scott Edgar.

In other news, Rusty nails his record labels topic in Know Your Product, Sir Mix and Matchalot unearths the longest ever album title, and Myf is passionate about souveniring her team's Substitute book.
