Finding an immediate audience for their honest, sympathetic, outrageously funny and sometimes confronting style, they then spent four years in Perth on Austereo’s 92.9, as the state’s #1 breakfast team, for under-40’s. They were subsequently awarded the inaugural Australian Comedy Award for Best Breakfast Show (WA) in 2003 and developed a loyal fan base in the West.
