Fire Up!

With all sorts of action occurring at the fringe of the Final 8 and at the nether regions of the ladder, our hosts regroup after a week in Ibiza with regular guest Denis Carnahan to discuss Hip Drops, Merger Mania, Wagering Content, the PVL Dreamliner, generous Tommy Turbo, Deathriding, The Spoon Bowl, Wayne..... and of course much, much more! Tune in, sign up, follow, get involved, spread the wor...

Sorry listeners we're having a week off, we're short a host and a producer so it was all just too hard this week! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With 2 Happy Hosts in the studio after a rare brace of victories, they discuss Kris's "Game Day Experiences" over the weekend, start a new band called "Buzz & The Flanagans," breathlessly await the announcement of the next Rugby League IMMORTAL, mounting the case for the demonic Cameron Smith, discuss Les Boyd and the Hall Of Fame...or Shame, and look further into Latrell-Gate, amongst much, m...

We're joined this week by Dave Ray who has a nose for a story and a deeply held affection for the Canberra Raiders. He has also sat next to Tigers supremo, Shane Richardson, during a game at Leichhardt this year and lived to tell the tale. We discuss everything from Nathan Cleary's Rexona commercial to Nibbler Flanagan and the Trbojevic Tricksters. And much, much more! See omnystudio.com/listener...

Things were a little existential and spiritual in the Fire Up! studios this week, as our hosts discussed exhumations, Creationism, Life Coaches and St. Jerome of Latimore. STGI's epochal victory against the Storm is discussed, along with The Prophet Of Belmore, Coaching Jocularity and DJ Otsi. We get a great new track from Denis Carnahan celebrating Papaalii's 300th, and as always, MUCH, MUCH more...

With the Olympics and Rugby League coalescing this week our hosts have adopted the Spirit of Revolution and are "Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!" They discuss overturning the RL Class system and "The Big Walk" at the Tigers, along with St George getting "Nathanised" on the weekend. They spend some time talking about ways to "Fix" Rugby League let's just say that the brilliant ideas a...

Still basking in the victorious afterglow of Origin III, this week our Blueslander hosts are joined by Matt Rule, promoter of the upcoming "Beer, Food & Footy" Festival held annually at Newtown Oval, to discuss what happens on the day, the promising future of the Jets, the freeform Jazz improv performance of ref Ashley Klein, the Luai Hustle, The Bulldog "Hustlers", Trumpian Robbo and much muc...

In the lead up to the massive Origin III Decider we have the inestimable Vonnie Sampson from Fox Footy join us to discuss Mankinis, Possums, Fred Zeppelin, Police Escorts, The "Caco", Schnapps for breakfast, Navel Gazing and Regurgitator in a box. And some footy. Listen in for all the good goss. And tell your friends please, we need some more listeners! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy info...

Unfortunately we've had to cancel this week's episode due to a Personal Injury Mishap to one of our hosts. Back next week! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We wrap up all the important news to come out of Round 17 and State Of Origin II, trying to make sense of 90,000 confused Melburnians, Ashley Klein's need to be liked, Billy Slater's private video room and all the Sin Bin confusion. Sticky "Dials In" again and we live in fear of The Rise Of The Robots. All this and much much more!!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the eve of Origin II our hosts bemoan the absence of genuine nude streakers these days, talk up "Little Guys" with Vossy and Brandy, discuss the importance of having "Mitchell's" in your team and worry about Stephen Crichton's burgeoning handshake repertoire. All this and a severely inadequate preview of the big game.  With a new tune from Denis Carnahan and as always much much more!   See omny...

In the wrap up of Round 15, our hosts explore the idea of Role Models across the code, debate the etymology of the term "Glass Houses" (spoiler - it's not Billy Joel), the expansion team potential of the Beijing Bears, and take a deep dive into the motivational power of ribald tattoos. They also look into beat poet fanboy Tristan Sailor, ask "can Gutho Moonwalk?" and go hard at Billy Slater's tran...

What else is there to talk about this week but - The Dismissal?  Well our hosts do bemoan the musical choices from The Origin Debacle, and talk up the pre-game Lebanese meal at Accor Stadium,  but the incident between the "Pretty Boys" dominates the hearts, minds and conversation of all. Along the way they get to revisit Nate Myles's best work and credentials, Denis Carnahan's classic "That's In Q...

On the eve of the first Origin game for 2024, our hosts focus on the complex issues behind the facile back page news of the daily blatherings, such as Corey “Scavenger” Parker’s wedding night BLT, eradicating Sweet Caroline from the face of the earth, The DFAT Raiders’ Vegas gambit, The Taiwan Tornadoes, Vlandy’s Rosehill Ghetto and create a tonne of content for the impending reality that is PVLTV...

With Origin Rounds looming and injury carnage across the competition, many clubs that are flailing and floundering my be sniffing a chance to put their seasons back on track. Our hosts look back on Indigenous Round and have plenty of fodder for their segments "Dial In," "Rugby League Biology" and "On The Wires." As always we feature lots of (in)appropriate tunes and highly irrelevant information,...

With Special Guest Redfern Pat in the studio to discuss the fallout from Magic Round, the injury carnage keeps piling up and the controversies are erupting thick and fast. Nothing gets past the Fire Up crew, from Brad Arthur's Mad Monday to the Fifita Backflip to the PNG Franchise and Bellamy's Bits 'R' Us Business. Make sure to DIAL IN! one more time and come out the other end much more well info...

It's Round 11 and The Code Is In Crisis! 50 Hamstrings! FIFTY!!!  Are we evolving, expanding, or devolving? It's a state of mass confusion with mere lovetaps earning 3 weeks on the sidelines. The Kythera Connection, The Planet Of The Apes, SuperCoaches Bennett and Bellamy and The Roosters Way are all scheming before our eyes, and Benny Elias, for one, has absolutely no idea what is going on.  Can...

With The Met Gala occurring at the same time as Fire Up! was recorded this week our hosts felt a freakish affinity between the Fashionistas in New York and the world of Rugby League, and they proceed to untangle these threads across the course of the episode. Of course the big issues like "Small Ball," "Kenty's Tree," "Departure Day," "Big Man Syndrome" and Kristi Noeme the Puppy Murderess are all...

The ANZAC Day Rd throws up a plethora of talking points for this week, including but not limited to - "Eyes Up" Ipswich footy, is Brendan Cowell REALLY Nostradamus,? Kickoff - Yay or Nay? Sam Walker's winning Beard and winning ways, and is "Doghead" as an insult Paul Kent's best media work yet? Rugby League Biology is back with plenty to discus. Also - Where were the Black Hawks? Terry Hill RIP. T...

With our first guest for the year in the studio, actor/writer/Cronulla fan Brendan Cowell comes in all guns blazing, shooting opinions from his hip about everything from the gold plated taps at Casa Melbourne Storm to how he would revitalise the Roosters and eliminate The Titans, whilst he picks the NSW Origin Team and lauds the Tszuyu brothers as Australian treasures. Regular segment "Rugby Leagu...

Round 6 of the Season sees a return to the good old days of feuds, anger, hate and turmoil as Sticky Ricky, the Game's Greatest Thinker, is back in superior form and initiates a proper stink with Des Hasler. Our hosts also dive deep on to the ongoing feud between Parasite Peter Fitzsimmons and Jimmy Graham, the turmoil at Souths, The Lomax vortex of common sense, the diminishing loveability of the...

Our hosts dissect the wild and woolly Round 5 of the NRL, asking whether or not James Tedesco is an impediment to his own health?, is Latrell "too special"?, is Billy Slater "The Modern Horseman" or "The Electric Cowboy?" and where to next for the upwardly mobile Rabbitohs? Not to mention discussions of Keith Barnes, Zac Lomax, the Dialled-In Waratahs, Social Darwinism, Michael Jennings, David Kle...

Redfern Pat gives us his weekly Fire Up! Mediawatch update See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a slow news week where even the Sydney Swans AFLW Team can outdo the entire NRL on the Atrocity ladder, our hosts explore themes of resilience and distraction, taking a look at Albert Hopoate's "bizarre cooking accident", Tim Tszuyu's bloodied boxing battle and the unlikely results that see both Tigers and Dragons with weekend wins. And as always, much, much more. Tune in, and if you like wh...
