We Got The Chocolates

The launching of FOTS Cards. An official recognition to our Friends Of The Show; the boys discuss how useful they will be.    One overly informative 5 star review caught our attention after last week’s episode. Beansprout Supernova turned out to be an old friend of ours who we had to get on the phone.    Haz is the victim of a QLD Cricket traditional prank which is the cricket...

We're back with the same old podcast, but with a few new bells and whistles. This episode has a Hall Pass intervention that will go down as one of the best.   We announce this week's Local Sporting Hero. You can nominate your local sporting hero here .    Mitch gets hit up by his first fan and wants everyone to just settle down with it all.    The Social Sin Bin is re...

There is our first significant milestone for you. It is just a quick acknowledgment to the dressing room balcony, no carry on, no fuss, just on with business. Truth be told we actually do carry on a little bit. For goodness sake we made ourselves a montage. You cannot get much more vain. It is the equivalent of Dexys Midnight Runners making a greatest hits album. Anyway before you get to hear the...

Ever wondered what happened on the date we recorded in previous history? Obviously we knew that you had, so we took the liberty of answering that for you which somehow led to Skin nailing a performance of his favourite Pussycat Dolls song. We relive Skinnald's last day as a resident of the Redlands and his newly discovered knack of finding Vaseline on his car door handles. Goodness knows how that...

Is a glass of milk an acceptable drink for adults? Is listening to a podcast whilst on the toilet commonly done, is there anything wrong with players taking a knee before AFL Games? Some brilliant discussion points come up in this week's Poddy! But to start is it Football or Soccer? We truly are still confused by which one offends the least amount of people but we do know that Rory—our resident En...

Episode 47: Shayna is in the new studio! She grabs a microphone, the worst pair of swimming Goggles she has ever seen and her favourite cricket autobiography (to put the mic on) and she is off the blocks and racing. We go through how exactly we got her on the podcast and the reasons we were keen to have chat to her, she discusses some of her most memorable achievements in swimming thus far and bur...

Episode 46: AFL is back this weekend and there is no better way to get you in the mood than listening to a chat with former Brisbane Lions jet, Tim Notting. Tim was a member of the Brisbane Lions most dominant era after being drafted to the Lions in their first ever year as an amalgamated club.  We chat about the draft process, the early years at the club where nobody really wanted to be ther...

Mitch has kicked the Sherrin into the Brisbane River, there were numerous attempts to recover it but all to no avail. Leighthal flogged another guys coffee order and caused pandemonium at the local establishment and Señor Haz comes in for a full podcast review. We also get through some big talking points from the week that was. Is one ref better than two? Is replacing a penalty with six-again a go...

Episode 44: It is not often we get to say this, but in this Poddy we chat to a proper dual athlete! Courtney was a fast bowler (and has some startling batting statistics) for the Qld Fire and the Brisbane Heat, before she made the transition overseas to play Rugby League for the Leeds Rhinos. Not your classic code-hopper story!  Courtney—or Corka as it turns out—loves confetti, is a self conf...

Episode 43: We start off with the excitement of the Merchandise launch! That has really got everyone up and about. Cracking intro song too actually probably the best so far. Anyway I digress. Haz hits us with a quiz straight away, our task is quite simple, name the sports the general public find to be the most boring. One of us is very good at the quiz… and one of us is not.  You get to...

Episode 42: This week we have the pleasure of chatting with Queensland and Australian cricketer, Joe Burns. We start with some serious topics including Joe’s stint away from the Australian team during the ashes and what he did to come back from that, as well as some highlights from his impressive first-class debut. But it doesn’t take long for Haz to show off his homework, peppering Burnsy wi...

Episode 41: Back on the tools again which will not come as a shock to the system. We start by covering some big ticket items: How do you make your teeth whiter and is Leigh a naturally gifted skateboarder? We then have the pleasure of speaking to long time listener, Tim, who was kind enough to dob Leighthal in for a previous misdemeanour. He also chats to us about the eternal struggle between bein...

Episode 40: Here we go, there is restart date for the NRL chat, a potential suspension from a dating app and successfully choosing a porterhouse steak tattoo.  A game of two halves really; the opening minutes cover isolation, charity work and knee reconstructions. You could be forgiven for thinking it was a very serious chat... but then bang! Half time comes, and Christian discusses the stand...

Episode 39: Tik Tok Basketball shooting lessons, how you should be eating a burger, singing along to banging tunes that you don’t know the words to and the Perineum Sun-baking fad. What an outrageously entertaining and broad source of conversation to get through. Jana is on the phone for a “Yarns with Jans” segment, Haz runs a “Social Sin Bin” and Chess is under the microscope. There is a new...

Episode 38 Part B: John Millman is an absolute jet! Ranked number 43 in the world on the international Tennis circuit, John has produced some incredible highlights against some of the world's  best. In particular he has saved some of his best efforts for his encounters with Roger Federer. A genuine must listen for any person with an interest in Tennis as John dives into the ranking system, D...

Episode 38 Part A: John Millman is an absolute jet! Ranked number 43 in the world on the international Tennis circuit, John has produced some incredible highlights against some of the world's best. In particular he has saved some of his best efforts for his encounters with Roger Federer. A genuine must listen for any person with an interest in Tennis as John dives into the ranking system, Dav...

Episode 37: Well who would have thought that walking to your car on a Friday afternoon could provide this level of content! Leigh describes the circumstances of his second car theft experience. However, more importantly Mitch and Sam outline the numerous life lessons that Facebook has been more than willing to provide. Leigh reflects on how he could have improved his handling of that situation whi...

Jemma Mi Mi is the first Professional Netballer we have had on the Pod and she is a jet with the microphone in hand! She speaks to us about her ambitions for the Queensland Firebirds, her experience with the Australia A Development team and how many kilometres she covers in a game.  We need to mention that this was recorded a few weeks ago and it seems like a completely different time. The bi...

Episode 35: Marnus is back with a real microphone, plenty of hand gestures and some superb stories. Leigh sits down with him and covers everything from being a concussion super sub to ranking chocolates in order of preference.  He talks cricketers he most idolised, why he has a batting coach, how to conduct the perfect interview and much more. There is also plenty of time for his most influen...

Episode 34: A couple of different voices are on show in this episode. Rory Smith joins us for a chat with his main intention being to talk about Heazlett's debut in garage cricket and to deliver his ICC sanctioned GCR's (Garage Cricket Rankings for those playing at home). His English accent is actually quite delightful to listen to despite the damage he has done to himself with his 6 a day Pepsi h...

Episode 33: Charlie Hemphrey joins us on the phone to discuss his rather unique pathway to being a professional cricketer in Australia and England. Charlie is a member of the Queensland Bulls squad and therefore gets to spend more time with Haz than most. He also plays for Glamorgan in the English County Championship where Marnus Labuschagne and Nick Selman played last season so he has stored up s...

Episode 32: Leigh, Sam and Mitch are with you for stories such as: Haz sitting next to AB de Villiers on the flight home, Mitch getting stuck trying cosmetic beauty samples in a shopping centre and Leigh being massively "Punkd' by Bazley's cousin on the Sunshine Coast last week.    We host Haz's post season exit interview for the Brisbane Heat, place multiple Heat "supporters" in the Soc...

Episode 31: Adam Hollioake sits down with Sam and Leigh to talk about his cricketing journey, wearing thongs and jeans as a combination, playing a Shane Warne straight ball and running with a parachute on. He launches into a couple of his best stories after chalking up more life experiences than you can poke a stick at. Adam played international cricket for England, competed as a professional figh...

Episode 30: We are back on the tools for a serious length of time this week as you can see by the duration. Haz takes us through the rules that our listeners believe need to change in BBL, we talk Tennis and climate change as a combination (thanks Roger Federer) and there is a listener written Chris Green Parody titled "No Ballin".  Jana makes her long awaited debut in the first "Yarns with J...

Episode 29: Long boarding World Champion and Go Pro athlete Harley Ingleby joins us for this episode which makes Haz unbelievably excited. Leigh and Mitch just tune in for a proper surfing education as he talks about everything from surf boards to acting as a stunt double for Steven Gerrard.   Leigh and Mitch are completely baffled as some tennis terms get thrown around but get back on track talki...
