The boys talk about falling empires, moral compasses, theme songs, the game day experience, Paul Kent, gold plated urinals, Reece Walsh's eyes (as we all are), The Melbourne Cowbell, "Mind Gyms", Flanno and Scott Fulton and MUCH, MUCH MORE! Rugby League is a barometer for life as we know it, stay tuned to hear why. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Redfern Pat takes us through key moments - Trell, Swear, Coates try, Scrum See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the Stench in Canberra to the Toxic Swamp in Cronulla, from the sublimity of Xavier Coates's try to the ridiculousness of Latrell's new language profile, from Astro Travelling with Bradley Charles Stubbs and Robbo to the emerging nexus of MAGA, Polites and Vlandys, there's a LOT of surface area, both physical and mystical, covered in this week's episode. Tune in for it all to make some kind o...

With the season lurching into gear,  our hosts discuss purpose and dignity, Princess Kate, emotional support animals, prejudice plus power, and, yes, true grit. We get a song from Denis Carnahan, look forward to the Ravalawa Bobblehead,  glimpse at the fun and games at the Slater Ranch, and getting down to Rugby League, ask "what is going wrong at the Bulldogs? and pose the Question we're all thin...

Acknowledging that nothing will ever be the same again, our hosts take a deeeeep breath and carefully analyse the Vegas experiment. They despair at the lack of off-field atrocities, the disappointing Game Day entertainment, the musical cliches, and the general lack of "Rugby League-ness".....did the game really do enough to attract the idiot sporting speculators of America? But let's not say too m...

With one Fire Up! host - Gale - heading over to Vegas and the other - Ferris - tragically marooned in Sydney, they get the 2024 Season underway with a look at the disappointing lack of NRL pre-season atrocities thus far, tempered with the boundless potential for mischief on the Strip. They also discuss what the evil Cameron Smith might be bringing to the Currumbin U15 program now that he has assum...

It's good to be bac...

This doesn't need much description. The best RL Podcast discussing arguably the greatest RL Grand Final ever.  Why wouldn't you tune in? Just Fire Up! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With temperatures climbing and a hot grand final drawing near, our hosts keep their heads cool and debate the big issues facing the game without pride or prejudice, fear or favour. From "Alex The Grub" - the forthcoming Fire Up! Children's book, to Reece Walsh's mesmerising eyes, from the quantum physics of forward passes to the Chairman "Dictatorships" of Hagipatelis and Lancaster, from Shaun Joh...

As the RL Season narrows towards its finale you would think there might be less to discuss, but it seems not! Tune in to hear Kris and Steven opine on all the current talking points in the game, such as Kalyn Ponga's thoughts on the love of a good woman, Rugby League Matchmaking, a potential new wing in the RL Hall Of Shame, Shaun Johnson's Dinner Suit, Penrith & Melbourne's Fractured Fairy Ta...

Where do you even begin? So much to talk about it….in the first 15 minutes alone Ferris & Gale address all the burning issues - Bellamy’s meltdown, Adam West’s tights, lonely Thursday nights, Ice Men, Steven Wright jokes, Mr. Magic, death riding, the Green Whistle, Chat GPT, Rugby League Biology, OMC vs Up The Wa’s vs Up The Pa’s, the saga of the Roosters, Futurama, Red Mist, spiritualists, Th...

This week as the longest regular season ever finally draws to a close, we welcome the esteemed and hugely entertaining RL journalist and broadcaster Yvonne Sampson to the studio to discuss everything from raising bananas to outgoing Broncos, Ricky Stuart's Standup Stylings, fielding B Teams, Super Coaches Bennett, Bellamy and Stuart, the lovely Walters' boys and as always - much, much more. Try an...

Listen up people, there's a lot happening! In a "funny old week," with several clubs still jockeying for positions leading into finals, we find ourselves delving deep into the TURMOIL at Hefron Park, including the multiple dog-related incidents involving Simba, Rocky, Thor & Ruby, Rodney Churchill's infamous text and the 27 member WhatsApp group, the "myth" of Latrell and "creating memories" w...

As the regular season draws to a close we welcome esteemed journalist and author - and sometime ghostwriter - Andrew Webster - to the Fire Up! studios to discuss all the hot issues in Rugby League and more, including Latrell's cowboy fixation, Luke Brooks's BBQ, Wayne Bennett's passive aggressive phone manner, "The Stapler - tackle or injury procedure?", the Dragon's 2018 Faceplant, Sonny Bill's s...

Special Guest this week is the keyboard warrior and lung suffering Parramatta Eels fan Adrian Proszenko (Nine Corp/SMH) who thoroughly entertains us with tidbits of his encounters with luminaries like the Coach Whisperer Bradley Stubbs, The Immortal Joey Johns, Ref Boss Graham Annesley and many more. The boys get down and dirty attempting to dismantle the new peace between the NRL and the Players...
