We Got The Chocolates

Ever wondered how Skin got his nickname? Or wondered what his real name actually is? Well this is the episode for you. It isn't ridiculous to say that Skin is the most intellectually inclined member of We Got The Chocolates. He has a Bachelor of Science which he has gone onto use regularly in his daily life and he had a very keen eye for entrepreneurship in his younger years. Despite this, he was...

Gode is one of our favourite humans obviously. Great cricketer, great dad but most importantly he is brilliant off the cuff and can tell a story with the best of them. We have been looking forward to sitting down with him and having a 'Good Chat'. He tells us how he managed to impress his love interest as a skinny red head, wha he believes to be the most difficult part of parenting and what actual...

We went to the Gabba for our 200th Ep celebration and things went... swimmingly. That's a really clever joke that you will get once you have listened. It was great to get the opportunity to celebrate our 200th Episode after 214 episodes. We brought some of the unluckiest Choccies we know along for the occasion so we captured their thoughts on all subjects from the David Beckham scandal to whe...

We went to the Hunter Valley recently and used the down time as a way to learn more about each other. The hope was simply that you would get a chance to learn a bit more about each person outside of what you hear on the weekly We Got The Chocolates podcast. Mickus was first to take centre stage. He is a wedding videographer, loves surfing and building lego but there is also plenty more to know abo...

We used this week to look back at our favourite moments from 2023. We think this is our top 10 but we weren't confident enough to put more than three in actual order. So please do let us know what you think should round out the top 5! Enjoy some of the moments that made us laugh the most this year. Thank you so much for coming on this journey with us, good luck in the future and we will speak to y...

This episode is Christmas. You have probably never heard Reindeer mentioned so many times in one podcast episode ever in your life but we are so okay with that for one week of the year. We are really going to struggle to narrow down some of the unlucky people entering the 200th episode competition as you will hear. Gode has the best Christmas song reveal ever and Mickus' menu for his Christmas Lun...

We find out just how generous of a guy Mickus can be when it comes to shouting a round! Crashing your car is potentially unlucky enough but crashing your car into your girlfriend's car in the main street of a town just seems ridiculous, but not for one particular Choccie! Gode has created a new game although it could be very tough for you to make it through the jingle for it. Oh and someone accide...

We are not sure if an episode has ever been directly named after Mickus but we were pretty sure that his efforts on the weekend meant that this one needed to be. He attended the Better Beer 'Day For It' party and after telling us that he would be leaving early, he tucked into a large one. Normally that would be fine but the big fella had an ultra marathon to complete the next day? Did he make it t...

You heard correctly, we are heading across to the new studio (Nudio), but not before we did one final episode in the space where everything kicked off. We use this episode to take a little trip down memory lane and look back at some of the... well we wouldn't say highlights but maybe like "pivotal moments". We have some Social Sins & Wins to get through and we are hoping Robbie Williams pays u...

Eloise and Rochelle join us to shed some light on what happened with this whole, "Being tricked into running a half marathon situation". It wasn't the most uplifted we have ever felt on the podcast. Which is quite concerning considering we record with Gode every week! We have a request to name a genuine human child... and we come through with the goods obviously. A Choccie sends in a hypothetical...

Is there any truth to the rumour that Leigh and Skin are incredibly talented and gifted painters? Is the new office space in ridiculously safe hands? Changing topic completely but still on the question train... does everyone shower in the morning? It is another week of delving deep to discover the answers to these types of questions. It isn't all just answering rhetorical questions on this week's...

When we finished this episode we looked at each other in the eye and Mickus said, "I'm going because it's really late". However, we all know if he had of stayed for any longer he would have said, "That episode was a genuine banger". Nice feedback to receive but we would rather hear it from you to be honest. It had some cracking nicknames that will really get the noggin working, some horrific datin...

Skin has left Leighthal in charge of organising his Bucks Party/ Stag Do. He does't feel particularly confident leaving him responsible for anything that requires prior planning so Leighthal asked you for ideas... and we aren't sure if the Do's were very helpful but the Don'ts definitely were! We have more unhinged reviews and Skin is in a pretty ropey mood as it turns out. A Friend of the Show th...

Can you drive a car without a dash board? It is a question that Skin never thought he would have to cover with his Physics/ Chemistry degree but in this episode we unpack the pros and cons. We play Fictionary which leads to us learning the definition of CBPCBD and it will leave you inspired to weave it into conversation regularly. Dave the Brit that knows Jack Shit was the victim of a wonderful pr...

Former AFL player and current podcasting guru, Dylan Buckley joins us as a cohost this week. Well actually we essentially just rocked up and used his studio whilst we were in Melbourne last weekend. So he kind of hosted us, but then we hosted him on the podcast. We got to speak to him about everything from Skin's anger when drinking to his mission with his podcast network. He also had some great c...

Have you ever tried to name an Air Fryer? Fryer to this episode we actually hadn't either. However, we now think it as an absolute necessity to name yours! Reece Walsh has helped us bring back "Ya Mum" jokes and you probably forgot just how much they can cut to the core of you. We have a ludicrous hypothetical debate where the only thing we can all agree on is that Mickus is an idiot. Also don't m...

We have heard Leigh refer to this 'girl he is getting to know' quite a bit. So Skin put him to the test this week to work out just how well he does know her in a game of Perfect Couples! We forgot something fairly integral last week, but it turns out the Choccies have actually forgotten even worse things. We debut a new game and Mickus goes totally rogue with the jingle and we take a look at some...

Skin unveils an eyebrow-raising theory that explores the uncanny correlation between guys with small thighs and large... Johnsons ! 🦵💪 🎬 We're also introducing a brand-new segment where we prove that changing just one letter in a movie title can completely flip the plot! 🎤 Plus, 'Lyric Substiut-Skin' is back with a twist! 🔄 This time, there's no room for individual choices when it comes to so...

We have more nicknames ready for you to potentially unleash on your mates. Although, to be honest a lot of them seem to only work for people named quite specific things! We find out why Wade Seccombe was calling Leighthal last episode and whether Skin might potentially be on his radar after his performance on the weekend. Friend of the Show number 28 is awarded and his ability to spice up a phone...

Okay Australia Zoo we have seriously saved you here. This episode contains a shortlist of the only names suitable for a Quokka. They are supreme. Gode saw some flying lawnmowers at the Beaudesert show last weekend, Skin and Leigh tried their hand at Mceeing an event with around 700 people in attendance and faced a few serious troubles and Mickus gives you a little too much information about how li...

Do you think you can refer to an entire city as a "lovely spot"? We are really thinking you can't after Skin's story this week. Jana is back on to confirm the age of her baby. We had one of the worst flying experiences imaginable despite the fact that said company are obviously 'great people'. Bios on Instagram and TikTok etc can be something we spend a lot of time thinking about, so in this episo...

Skin has a first job story that borders on maybe being against the law... we think. Make up your own mind because he recounts it in great detail! We speak to Kate McCarthy about the pressure of selecting the list of best players at the end of the game, and go over her theory as to why the Adelaide Crows weren't as angry as they should have been. We even have time to learn what the phrase 'clam jam...

Keegan Hipgrave flew all the way from Sydney to Brisbane just to be on our podcast! That's not true at all but he did happen to be up here so he was kind enough to jump on for a chat. We felt like we could have spoken to him for hours to be honest. We cover the funniest moments from his career (including trying to put the moves on Payne Haas), why he had to medically retire from the game he loves...

It is no secret that we are often late, however Skin paid a signifcant price for trying to make us on time this week! We've been seeing lots of 'blind rankings' when it comes to sport, but have you ever heard a person blind rank a variety of miscellaneous food and beverages? Well you will in this episode. We butchered a few more songs and have a cracking new game. What a week on the tools. Here is...

Naming tools must be a really hard job. That is something absolute we discovered in this episode. Leigh and Skin have a serious issue with lateness (or potentially just not arriving at all). We find out where butterflies come from and discover that training is actually key to being somewhat useful at sport! Plenty happening that is for sure and here is how it went: 00:55 - Trouble From Our Weekend...
