We Got The Chocolates

Jack Wood on just how nervous he was when he made his BBL debut for the Brisbane Heat! Getting a wicket first ball and getting abuse from the crowd.    He explains why he doesn't think too much of surfing, and why everything he does, he does weirdly.    Who does he have a bromance with from within the Brisbane Heat squad? How does his board-game prowess stack up against Sam Hea...

The Rolling Stones, honestly, they aren’t very good.... they just one band on Gode’s list of most overrated things in the world! After some early technical difficulties we take the risk of going live for the first time and answer listener questions during the episode.   Matthew Renshaw joins our exclusive Friend Of The Show club, and discusses his BBL10 experience with the Adelaide Strikers....

The night Sam Heazlett rescued the Brisbane Heat. Obviously he was assisted by Jimmy Peirson and other teammates, which we also mention… just less frequently.    Who are the worst runners between wickets in cricket? What did Haz’s teammates think of the LBR (Low Bat Raise)?   We have Heazlett on the line responding to some of the classy tweets and comments that were written about hi...

Hottest 100 songs and Hottest 100 Beers. We talk quite a bit about one and not a lot about the other.    Did Douglas Henry Nut invent the doughnut?    Day for it, DFI or Dave Ferrit. What is it and why is it overpowering Instagram? Leigh tells us in his Parody.    Andrew Gode leads a BBL10 new rules review and offers ways to fix the competition.    Tim Paine...

Morne Morkel is with Sam Heazlett in the Brisbane Heat BBL hotel bubble. He holds a world record for the most amount of wickets taken from No Balls in international cricket.  Morne talks about recovering from his ankle injury and the weeks of quarantine he has had to do in the lead up to his first game in the Big Bash.  He has encountered Sam Heazlett's frugal ways during a fines meeting...

We review the break, trips to Adelaide to contribute nothing for West Torrens in the SACA competition, the Covid test and Andrew Gode starts the new year off with a joke.    The Brisbane Heat Facebook page provides a lot of 'Social Sin Bin' candidates, as does the Marnus Labuschagne on air critique that involves Shane Warne, Andrew Symonds, Tim Paine and Matthew Wade. It also cost us our...

Andrew Gode makes his first in person appearance on the podcast. He even provides a different location for the podcast to be recorded.    "Skin's Stats" is back as Mitch goes for the 'Lowest Totals in Cricket' edition.    Wally Lewis is on for a chat to Leigh about his movements at the moment, his new book and his thoughts on the rule changes for the 2021 NRL season.  &nbs...

Sam Heazlett is not able to be with us as he completes his "soft quarantine" or "purification process" as Leigh calls it.    Mitch has a great idea for Leighthal’s Christmas gift and it involves his significant hair loss.    Who Got The Chocolates features one of the great verbal gaffes from Mitch and our thoughts on the Wallabies National Anthem debate.    After last...

Leighthal had a runaway kid on his latest relief teaching day. The reasoning for the bolt will surprise you! Apparently bullying has taken a lot of new forms.    Why is Leigh so scared of Chris Lynn? Greg Norman's followers have won the internet in the comments section.    Mitch tells us the story about the day he was sprayed in the line at subway!   We talk large sporting...

The Brisbane Heat have signed James Bazley, yet another host of the podcast to be signed with the Heat… Leigh and Mitch are still waiting.    Leighthal forgot his box for cricket training and had to get very creative to ensure the seeds were looked after.    We have a live Social Sin Binning, as Jason joins us on the phone after being relentless on the poor old Brisbane Heat ma...

Jack Wildermuth is another man who has got the better of Skin on the cricket field!   We chat about his move from the Melbourne Renegades back to the Brisbane Heat.    BBL10 will have three new rules and Wildermuth gives his thoughts on those.    We get his T20 match day eating routine and talk about him being the Kryptonite for Australian selector George Bailey.  &nb...

Who got the chocolates last week? Has to be Will Pucovski, the Wallabies and the Maroons.   We get Mitch to display some more emotion on a topic that actually fires him up.    What stopped you from making it as a professional athlete?   Leighthal informs everyone of his podcast spending while we chat to our local sporting hero of the week, Daniel Drew.    What is the...

Social Sin Bin is here! We target braggers, Joe Burns haters and obvious comments.  FOTS check in with Friend of the Show number 0001… Aaron Parsons. He airs his grievances about the postage process, and how the card has cleared up a persistent rash.  A FOTS card has somehow found its way onto EBAY and the post includes some intriguing background imagery.  We introduce a new segment...

What could Cricket Australia have done better to get the season underway earlier? Why does Mitch have beef with Ian? What is in more strife? Heals’ hamstrings or his fingers? How did he get to be Wicketkeeping for Australia after only 6 First Class games for Queensland? What did Australian Test cricketers earn in 1989? What cricketers did we think Heals hated… but he actually liked? Check out our...

There are some significant issues with the accuracy of the caricatures we have been utilising.  Leighthal needs an Alchemy beverage due to the hangover he is experiencing. He still finds time to prank Skin though.  We relive some of the highlights and obviously the lowlights from the boys flag winning performance on the weekend.  We try to find out Haz’s net worth and talk about the...

Heazlett is trying to find the right breakfast combo between Alchemy Health Elixir drinks and KFC nuggets.   A local sporting hero took all ten wickets in an innings last weekend. We couldn’t speak to him so instead we spoke to… someone he dismissed.    Mitch grills Heazlett about his omission from the Queensland Sheffield Shield squad that travels to Adelaide.    Andrew G...

Michael Kasprowicz on his unbelievable T20 record and that first international T20 game against New Zealand (where he sported some magnificent facial hair and a headband).    Rebranding and marketing himself as the fashionable bowler for unfashionable tours. He challenges the perception of the “dumb fast bowler”.    Whether DRS would have saved him and Australia in the second t...

A quick recap of how our sporting teams went across the weekend. Also the story of just how much we were holding back one team we were playing for! We then go to you guys to find out what you would change about AFL! This leads to us meeting Malcolm from The Alchemy Cordial Company (check them out here ) or Malchemy as Leighthal calls him.  We have our NRL and AFL Supercoach presentations to o...

Can you call people by their first name, if you do not know them at all, but they happen to be wearing a name tag? Let's ask Skin.    Leighthal calls Officeworks to sort out the FOTS Card membership letter.    Mitch calls the Vice President of Redlands Tigers as Leighthal’s manager to drive a hard bargain.    Professional MC, Evan Bancroft then joins us to discuss his...

Sam and Skin look at options for making a “How To Make a 100” podcast episode after their successful weekend.  Leighthal has received an offer to transfer cricket clubs and take his career to the next level at the Galah’s.  Mitch tells us whether we are any chance of winning the premiership this year in his Skin’s Stats segment.  Lachlan Pfeffer makes his podcast debut as our “Local...

Haz has a blue Instagram tick next to his name, he could only resist the temptation for so long.  Haz’s Dad outlines what he received for Father’s Day… and sprays one of the gifts.  Mitch explains the reason for his unusually small bladder.  Simon Milenko is on as we outline some unusual warm up games.  Andrew Gode is disgruntled but needs to be reprimanded for his treatment of...

West Tigers hooker Harry Grant joins us for a chat around the challenges of NRL in the Covid 19 period, the dog walking expeditions he goes on to keep himself occupied and his breakout season in the NRL. We chat about the loan transition from the Melbourne Storm to the Wests Tigers, and why we aren’t experts on loans due to Haz’s Fiscally responsible behaviour. This prompts Harry to christen Haz w...

Leighthal is showcasing his brand new Budgy Smugglers which makes everyone quite uncomfortable. Haz has been waking up really early before cricket games with the help of cricketer Michael Neser’s alarm setting system. Also there is a reason Skin can’t successfully use Siri! Friend of the Show Jana is in the studio and rather than strictly spraying Leighthal she is considering some of our mates beh...

Leigh is on a cricket trip for the Wanderers through central and north Queensland. So Skin and Haz take the intro… not the smoothest you will hear.  The FOTS cards have been delivered so the boys discuss their aesthetics, and find a departing Englishman to present a FOTS card to, on one condition.   Leigh has targeted “Karen from Bunnings” in his new parody song titled Wear Your Mas...

Haz is up and about for this episode as we speak to Australian professional surfer, Bede Durbidge. Bede spent 13 seasons on the professional tour but it is his time since that we enjoy speaking about.    Mitch and Leigh declare their lack of surfing knowledge and are socially outcast as Bede talks through how he liked to spend his “Lay Days”, what “Popping a Wheelie” means and the s...
