We Got The Chocolates

Is it possible to find silver linings in the most infuriating situations? Leigh had a serious mishap at the driving range that involves a cascade of golf balls, and our beloved Choccies (our listeners) join in the fun by sending in songs where they replace the lyrics with the word 'Skin,' resulting in a musical extravaganza. To top it things off, we put our movie knowledge to the test as we try to...

We dive into Mitch's less-than-stellar triathlon performance (spoiler alert: it's a comedic disaster). We'll also navigate through the wild world of social media comments, sharing the best and worst gems we've stumbled upon. Get ready for some pun-derful fun as we name a vacuum cleaner for you. Plus, buckle up for a heartwarming surprise as Mitch accidentally drops an "I love you" bombshell on his...

Jana joins us again to go through her 'icks'. We also navigate the world of red flags, green flags, and what it means for an event to be a 'tit-out'. We cringe, we feel uncomfortable and we use pet names but the good news is, this episode will get you thinking about your own quirks. We unravel an update on the anonymous farter, a recurring mystery that has captured our attention and there is even...

There are still so many unanswered questions about the Prince Albert piercing trip to Melbourne. Therefore, it was only fitting to have a Q&A session from the Choccies in this episode. One of the most asked questions to skin was, "What does you fiance Eloise think of it?" For this question, we had to actually get Eloise on to answer. Here is how things went: 1:08 - Magic Round Story  7:00...

This is probably the episode you have been waiting for ever since that iconic odds game moment! Skin spills all the juicy details about his wild piercing trip. From the piercer's studio to the healing process, he leaves no stone unturned. Meanwhile, Gode showcases his creativity by picking the punniest football team imaginable. And Leigh gets a taste of his own medicine when he crumbles under the...

Jana week on the podcast which means a couple of things: a) we cop plenty of heat for most responses and life decisions and b) there are far less puns but far more hateful reactions to Leigh's puns. We also get to speak to the lady who will have the huge (that's probably wishful) responsibility of giving Skin his Prince Albert. She almost alleviates all the worries in the world... almost. Here is...

Mickus is on holiday again this week, but we were sure to get him on the phone for his favourite seg, 'Must or Dust'. Skin runs us through some great life advice, Leigh is still talking about that premiership win, and Gode's game '2 Babe Ruth’s & an Anna Bligh' has had a nice little revamp, but can he defend his throne after last week's dominant quiz performance? 1:08 - Hat-tricks 4:24 - Joke...

Matt Denny stole our hearts last year at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham when he won Gold in the Men's Discus. We have been wanting to get him on the podcast for ages to discus this (pun intended). He talks training, drug tests and celebrations. We also have a cautionary tale from a listener before Skin locks in his nether-regions piercing. Here is how it went: 1:00 - Matt Denny Jingle 2:58 -...

There is an age old question that we don't feel like has ever been answered properly, and that question is ... can you successfully podcast on Mad Monday? Well we will let you be the judge of that when you hear Leighthal's attempt throughout this episode. Make sure you listen the whole way through because we are reasonably sure you might want to leave a review after the way Gode finishes the episo...

Skin has definitely got himself in some strife by meddling with the 'Odds' game, so we wanted to see if there were other people out there who have fallen into the same trap. There a few more nicknames for your workmates and also some of the most memorable moments from sporting press conferences. You will struggle to not use the expression "Hung like a hamster" from this point on. It was also Skin'...

This week is all about getting some idea of how badly Skin's Odds Game loss from a couple of weeks ago is really going to hurt. Oh and we do mean, physically hurt. The good news is, Ethan is on the phone and he has had his Prince Albert for fifteen years and he is a wonderful fountain of knowledge for Skin (not to be confused with foreskin). Here is how things went: 1:22 - Gode Hates Waiting 7:00...

What is the one job that you wouldn't expect a camera operator to screw up? To be fair Mickus is a lot more than that for The Chocs. but goodness me he had a meltdown. Gode isn't convinced that a great excuse for losing is "I had a wet dream", Skin and Leigh team up for a game at the end which leads to some interesting arguments. Here is how it went: 1:05 - I wish I never... 4:10 - Joke of the Wee...

Some of the idioms and phrases we use in life are pretty strange... but they have nothing on the whacko ones we go through in this episode! Mickus had a nightmare of a day that we can't wait for you to hear about. Also Gode is a freak with his musical knowledge. Here are some key moments: 1:00 - We Suck at Organisation  5:53 - Joke of the Week  8:20 - Putting Mayo on Stories 13:15 - Are...

Jana jumps back in as a guest host this week and Mitch starts by asking what he should grab his fiancé for her birthday... despite the fact her birthday is the next day. You can imagine how well that goes down. We also teach Jana a heck of a lot of new phrases (we don't think she will be in a hurry to use them), Mickus is disappointed he's not getting a Prince Albert and we discuss whether Russell...

If you're anything like Skin I'm sure you've heard all about Open AI's Chat GPT, but the real question is can it keep up with Gode and Leigh's puns? We find out this episode, plus we have a chat about some of the most outrageous claims we & the Choccies have ever heard, and Dave the Brit Knows Jack Shit attempts to run us through a new game! Oh and we got new intro music, what do you think of...

Some of the best nicknames we have ever come across leads to a chat that Skin would quickly love to forget about. We tried to step foot into the world of acting and the results were quite disastrous. India managed to do the best pitch doctoring of all time where it was only doctored when Australia was batting so we have to go through that. Oh and Gode also takes on a listener in another Trivia qui...

Is it in you? That is a slogan and apparently not for the website we thought! The Joke of the Week came from a playboy magazine (great articles). Apparently we have been saying Musk or Dust so we clear that up, Skin broke down a couple of acronyms for us and we named a pet goat! It was great to be back in the same room this week. If you got through last week you will find this episode a treat! 2:1...

Skin and Leigh made the trip down to Sydney to interview a few Australian Cricketers before the launch of "The Test" on Prime Video. They asked the big hitting questions like, "Who is your funniest teammate", "Are ice baths Overrated" and "Does Nathan Lyon love shadow batting?" However, there was also time top hit them with some of our best cricket themed jokes! And they were absolute hit for ever...

What’s a better partnership than Brooke Pancake being sponsored by Waffle House? Turns out there are quite a few! In other news Gode’s dad delivered his pool to the wrong house, a Manchester criminal is now known as 18 months because he only has an ear and a half, and Human Shazam is pretty tough to play over a video call! 3:44 - Where Do You Want The Pool? 6:00 - Joke of the Day/Week  7:55 -...

Can you introduce yourself to a new person and then ask to eat their leftover food less than a minute later? We wouldn’t have thought so but it can happen apparently. Michael Clarke tearing his Hamstring in combat inspired us to go through some very funny ways people have acquired injuries!    1:30 - Eating Other People’s Leftovers  3:53 - Joke of the Week  6:58 - Best & Wo...

We welcome Gode and Mickus back into the fold this week and Gode gets straight back into action by gifting Skin with a free clinic on how to make a pun! We speak to a Friend of the Show and find out that Skin is very up to date with youthful language. Here is how it went:   1:30 - Gode's Body Clock  3:40 - Wrong Lyrics  5:26 - Joke of the Week 7:05 - Worst Excuses You've Heard ...

Leigh and Skin had a trip to Sydney booked in and therefore needed a guest to bring the heat on the podcast this week... and Billy Darcy was just the man for the job. An incredibly funny guy with some wonderful stories! Here is how the chat went:   1:00 - Meet Billy Darcy 5:40 - Leigh’s Lip Syncing 5:30 - Joke of the Day/Week 11:56 - Rogue News Headlines 18:09 - Stand Up Comedy Heckles 30:41...

Couple of fantastic stories about Skin and Leigh in this episode, one is quite recent... and one is a blast from the past! We also did a Namestorm that went for far too long so we are sorry about that but at least if you ever have a wheelbarrow that needs a name... you have 10 minutes worth of audio to refer to. Here is how the episode went:    1:30 - Skin's Questionable Behaviour ...

We used the New Year as an opportunity to look back at some of the best moments from the We Got The Chocolates podcast in 2022 as voted by... Leigh. We can get organised and do a countdown from you next year! It was a late idea I'll be honest.    1:10 - Orientation/ Scene Setting/ Explanation  4:32 - The Countdown Begins! 28:35 - Notable Mentions 31:24 - Where to find us   We w...

Uploading this on Boxing Day because there is no better time to get a few laughs and some great cricket insights from the number 1 Test batter in the world!  If you like cricket, Marnus gives you plenty of content in the middle of this episode, and if you don't like cricket... there is a great reflection on where the "Namestorm" segment came from and some quality Must or Dusts!  We would...
