In the last edition of INSIGHT of 2025, it seems all a bit too serious at the moment for a humorous intro. Never fear, we won’t change our ways and will be back with groan-inducing summaries in 2026.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re celebrating numbers. It’s episode 226. 226 is part of Aron-son's sequence (look it up if you’re having trouble sleeping). Apparently, 226 is also a happy number, but some of the numbers in this week’s news will leave you feeling a lot less happy. Much like my jokes.

In this week’s special edition of INSIGHT AFTER DARK, we’re getting up close and personal. Yes, we want to know all about you dear listener. Do you like long walks on a beach? Do you drink coconut-and-rum-based cocktails during periods of significant precipitation? Tell us your mother’s maiden name and whether you’ve ever given money to a relative of a Nigerian Prince? Yes, tell us everything…

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’d like to take a moment to thank the English cricket team. They’re the gift that keeps on giving (well at least for two days). Bazball really blows and more than our Editor-in-chief who’s a big fan.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I’m wishing last night’s breaking news came a little earlier so I could make some jokes about emojis; eyeroll emoji; facepalm emoji with a purple shirt; thumbs-down emoji. Instead, we’re still talking about commissions. And like I said to the guy who tried to sell me a coffin, it’s the last thing I need.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re channeling our Wall Street Gordon Gekko’s. Life all comes down to a few moments, but unlike the movie, this is not one of them. We asked several financial experts what do you need to do to make a small fortune on Wall Street. They looked at us and suggested a large fortune. Our performance is so abysmal, we’ve been recommended to buy laughing stock.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, the team is worried. After all the latest breaking news stories, they’re not quite sure what my introduction will contain. I tried out 10 different introductions to see if they would be okay and no pun in ten did. In the end I told them that they should worry more about me dying. It’s the last thing I’d do. 

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re in the mood for some classic soft rock. Maybe it’s because I had porridge for breakfast and spent the morning hauling oats around the kitchen.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re in the Gold Coast mixing it up with insurance brokers from across the country at NIBA. I thought the opening night was fancy dress so I went as a screwdriver. I certainly turned a few heads.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re as good as new. That is to say, we’re learning on the job, we’re discriminating against the old and annoying everyone by listening to New Kids On The Block on repeat.

In this week’s radar-themed edition of INSIGHT, I’m reminded of the time I changed the voice on my satnav GPS device to Bono from U2. It was quite the mistake as all the streets have no name, and I still haven't found what I'm looking for. 

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re focusing on legal matters in the industry. It allows me a very tenuous link to one of my favourite ever adages: Once you’ve eaten at one food court, you’ve eaten at the mall.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, Wendy and I were playing cards with a deck that was missing a suit. I didn’t have the heart to tell her. I made my excuses and went to my doctor and told her I felt like a pack of cards. She just told me to lie down and she’d deal with me in the morning. 

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, you might notice I'm a little tired. I couldn’t sleep last night. I was lying awake wondering if Batman didn’t want to expose his identity, was he driving the Batmobile uninsured, or was he committing insurance fraud?

This week’s edition of INSIGHT is all about Dr Mulino’s European tour. I hope he’s careful if he rents a car over there. I rented one, but the ride was really bumpy so I took it to a mechanic who filled the shock absorbers with yogurt. It was quite the culture shock. 

This week’s edition of INSIGHT is brought to you by the number five million three hundred and eighteen thousand and eight. Numbers are strange. Odd even. If puns leave you numb, then these mathematical puns will leave you number.

This week’s edition of INSIGHT has all the colours of the rainbow. I caught a rainbow recently and was able to weigh it. It was pretty light. Unfortunately, it was a bad rainbow and is now in prism after a light sentencing.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re pretty fly for a white rye as the big insurers are making the dough and it’s on the rise. Some say success baguettes success, but it’s the yeast they could do after some very challenging years.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I think it’s important to remind our listeners how little we give credence to most awards. For example, I just won an award for most secretive person in the office, but I can't tell you how much that means to me. We tend to think that most awards are in fact handed out by a guy named Darwin.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’ve been reminiscing about our lives before insurance. I used to have a job crushing cans in a soft drink factory, but I quit because it was soda pressing.
