The Boomer and the Doomer
Mark Allen and MC Boomer (aka Eric Tinker) bring you a comedy show about the unfolding catastrophes facing the planet. Mark is a social activist and is wondering how long he can remain vegan before he has to eat the neighbour's cat. Musical comedian and complacent boomer Eric doesn't know what all the kerfuffle is about. However he is wondering how many franking credits his BP shares will bring him before Armageddon arrives.
