The Daily Fug
Roy Snacks - Editor of The Daily Fug
Roy’s two great loves are his Fug family, and his real family. Roy’s been happily married to wife Lizzy for 27 years and they have six daughters together.
Four of the girls have boyfriends, and Roy thoroughly enjoyed putting the lads through his very own ‘Roy Relationship Test.’
Roy started The Fug after two decades as a firefighter. In his words, his body was starting to crumble and he was keen to get creative.
He encourages all Fug readers to say hello and send a message. He and the team pride themselves on connecting with those who are most important - the readers!

Ambrosia Nussy - Associate Editor
Ambrosia’s connection to Roy is a unique one – Roy saved Ambrosia (and her dog Benny) when her house caught fire almost a decade ago, and she’s been like an unofficial seventh daughter since.
Ambrosia knows failure pretty well. She started her own business twice but neither worked out. When Roy asked Ambrosia if she wanted to join The Daily Fug, she jumped at it.
‘I needed more laughter in my life,’ she said. ‘If there’s a funny story out there, make no mistake, I’ll be all over it.’

Smith-Wilson Trenkle - Reporter
Smith-Wilson, or SW, always wanted to have something to do with politics and global affairs, but didn’t know exactly what. ‘Then I saw All The President’s Men and thought, ‘That’s hilarious. I want to do political comedy.”
An English major out of high school, SW shopped around a couple of TV comedy pilot spec scripts he wrote, but found no takers, so continued working at his uncle’s pie shop until he saw The Daily Fug was looking for a political/world news reporter and applied for the role.
​
SW is best friends with Nash the donkey who lives on SW's grandparents property. To SW, Nash, who is in now his late 20's, is, 'without peer the funniest guy I know.'
Flora Hosler - Reporter
Flora’s fondest childhood memories are of watching SNL, Conan, Letterman and Kimmel with her dad Ricky, and laughing all night long.
‘The hosts were brilliant, but I always really admired the writing,’ she said. ‘Dad and I would sit there and be just like, ‘these writing guys and gals are insanely good.''
Flora was suggested to Roy by one his daughters, after she read her work in a university newsletter. ‘I’m so glad she did,’ Flora said. ‘The Daily Fug team is amazing.'

Matto the coffee guy
Matto’s been dealing with a health condition for sometime, so when Roy (who’s mates with Matto’s dad) suggested he join The Daily Fug on a part-time basis to maintain some purpose, Matto didn't hesitate.
Matto does everything from coffee runs, to tea runs, to even the occasional lemongrass juice run if Roy is being weird and requests it. He also helps with tech and admin, and holds down the fort when the team is out on their respective assignments.
Matto’s a single bloke and is always making Flora laugh. The rest of The Fug team suggested they go on a date, but the two say they are just good friends.
