THE SHAKEUP: The 28-year walk, blue wave at US midterms + sacked over pineapple on pizza

November 6, 2026 · 31 min

Show notes

A British man finished walking around the world this week. The feat took him 28-years and he had hundreds of supporters cheering him to the finish line but not everyone was impressed.

And, the Democrats have won control of both houses of the US congress after what's been dubbed a "blue wave" in the midterm elections. Does that mean woke is back?

Plus, does pineapple belong on pizza? A court case in Queensland has brought the age old debate back into the headlines this week.

Host Dave Marchese is joined by Daily Telegraph reporter Jessica Wang and performer Etcetera Etcetera.
