From Obama’s appearance at The White House Correspondents Dinner making jokes at others expense, especially our favourite directed at Jay Leno, to Conan O’Brien’s interview on 60 Minutes, finally breaking his silence.

Ben helps us understand the Henry Tax Review and how Rudd’s plans will effect us and businesses across Australia. Mike and Paul revisit the Arizona Immigration Bill and this time manage to not have a on-air brawl. Last year Paul warned us that Swine Flu was a big ploy to sell medicine by big pharma and now come reports he may have been partly right!

All that, The Billboard Top 5 and heaps more on a packed episode of The Ploy.

We go over all the winners and losers and Kristen thinks Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were underwhelming, what do you think? Email or Tweet us your opinions of this years Oscars.

The Healthcare battle in the states continues to boil over and Mike, Paul and Kristen get heated up over the ins and outs of the legislation – does it go far enough, or is it too much?

Should NASA continue to be funded in light of the huge amount of US debt? Paul thinks we should continue exploring our solar system but is it fair to do that and not fund healthcare? We debate.

Joel Godard InterviewPlus Lara Bingle, Jessica Simpson is kind of fat, Apple delays the iPad for Australia and Disney hates Cablevision.

Not to mention the final part of our interview with former ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ announcer and sketch artist Joel Godard who this week speaks out about why he didn’t appear on ‘The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien’. The answer may surprise you. He also tells us what he thought of Andy Richter’s announcing skills.

Discretion is advised.

This week we have a corker of a show with special guest co-host Chris Fitzpatrick from his eponymous online radio show filling in for Mike who continues his extended break.

This week we cover the Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno shuffle, what a mess. Everyone has a view on this. We learn about Chris’ show and reminisce about old times, Paul has a story about previous guest Chantelle Barry, we cover the alleged racist KFC advertisement and our regular segments return.

Also this week, we premiere our new opening theme for season five. Enjoy!
