[edit] Controversy

On the 29th of April the pair were forced to issue an apology after they had asked their listeners to phone in and play the Last Post on any instrument other than a bugle the previous day, as part of an attempt at humour. They claimed they didn't intentionally offend the Australian Military, but simply didn't understand the significance of the bugle call.
