Nourishment Week

**Nourishment Week** is the third (231st in-universe) episode of Hug The Sun.

## Plot

This episode originally aired in December 1990 and was used as "treatment" in psychiatric hospitals throughout Perth.

The VHS was found sewn into a pillow belonging to a former patient.

### News report

The end of a news report from GWA Western Australia is on the VHS. The headline "LOCAL MAN BEFRIENDS CRAB" is shown with a picture of a koala, and on the ticker tape at the bottom, the headlines "CULT LEADER ARRESTED BY AFP," "DOG WEARING HAT VOTED MAYOR OF BUNBURY," and "TREE SHAPED LIKE DARYL SOMMERS" are shown. It introduces Hug The Sun.

### Introduction

BJ and Trent are doing a sun dance, which is tradition during Nourishment Week from the moment the sun rises. They ask what food they are going to eat during the week.

### Nourishment Feast with Trent and BJ

They have a look at the foods they eat during Nourishment Week. These include Weet-Brix with water, tinned pineapple and salted rice, mince pork shaped like a fish with dijonnaise, and mustard soup with poached eggs. Trent has some, but BJ is off liquids altogether because he only needs the gaze of Oxtos to fill him up.

### Spreading the Word with Neighbour George

Trent speaks to Neighbour George whose dog was shot by bikies.

### Caravan ad

An advert for caravans is shown, but is taped over by the show.

### Campaign for the Second Prophet Gary

Trent campaigns for money to release the Second Prophet Gary from prison. So far, they seem to have raised around $750 of the $10,000 cash bond. To mark the occasion, Trent says they will be putting on a performance at Hyde Park featuring Paps O'Sullivan, Frankie Yabbiebait (whose poster shows that he won the Ben Russell Award in 1989), and a Q&A with Thick Grandpa. Tickets are $40 plus commissions and sales tax, but it will count as a charitable donation if you increase it to $60!!!!!!!!

### The Word of Gary with Trina

Trina says cow's milk is not yummo; Prophet Gary taught them that it causes tummy problems, slow feet and phantom cousin syndrome. He also said that dog's milk is better and the tastiest milk around, despite the risk of explosive diahorrea and rapid anal bleeding. Trina shows how to milk a dog.

### Frankie Yabbiebait

Frankie Yabbiebait says you wouldn't know a joke if it tickled you on the bum bum, and says that something (presumably swearing) is unnecessary. He is taped over by the show.

### The Word of Gary with Trina (continued)

Trina now has a carton of freshly squeezed dog's milk.

### The Wisdom of Gary

The Second Prophet Gary lectures an audience that there is a sun in all of our hearts and that fear is darkness. BJ voiceovers an advert for The Wisdom of Prophet Gary; a twelve-volume, 72-hour video tape set that cost 16 payments of $39.99 ($639.84 in total).

### Try New Things with Linda

Linda, alongside her best mates Amy and Trina, are going to bake a black forest cake for Nourishment Week. Amy used to worship Oxtos and had a store at the camp, but Linda and Trina laugh this off. Amy says to preheat the oven and mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Amy tries to talk to Linda about the group, but Linda ignores her, so Linda's Dad comes in to help. Trina and Linda run away while mixing the wet and dry ingredients. She runs back to the kitchen and puts it in the oven and gets started on the cherry liqueur. Amy points out that Linda has used a bowl in the oven instead of a tin, but Linda tells her to shut up. BJ explains to the audience that Amy is a filthy liar.

### Outro

BJ is sunbathing, and doesn't believe in water. Trent fries an egg on his body, and says that next week (episode 232), they'll check in to see how Linda is quarantining herself from her lying family and friends. Trent eats the egg.
