Owner and Coach of All Star Boxing Academy Benny Harrington joins us for a yarn. Benny has had some of the fighters who train at All Star before, including Benjamin Hussain, Vegas Larfield and Liam Wilson. We talk to Benny about his childhood and how he started out in Muay Thai before finding a passion for Boxing and how that passion transitioned into training. We cover how hectic it is cutting weight, nutrition, using boxing as a purpose, travelling around the world for competitive events and boxing in the Olympics before wrapping up with the guest questions. This was a great chat with a legend doing great things for a lot of people. Enjoy trendsetters!

New studio, new century, new goals, same old yarnin'. Welcome to 300 trendsetters, breaking our longest episode record at a staggering 4:27:00ish. Knuckles brings the chopper and our favourite Grandad Bryze answered the last minute call to step in for Uncle Poo Bandit who got held up, but a massive shoutout for all he has done as the co-host who shits the most and jumps in when we need him. The boys are back to the roots of the table setup and end up blinder than welders dogs. This one has got it all: what we've been up to, a prank call, favourite meals to cook, grog tax rises, UFC, Olympics and some platinum yarns from some of our favourite trendsetters. Strap yourselves in and get ready for war trendsetters, we would not be here without you all and appreciate all the support. We love yas!

The final trendsetter talkback on the couch before the big 300 and it is an absolute belter! The mystery of chicken trucks, some custom songs for the cult and when dry humour gets you into mischief with the cops. We can't thank you all enough for the journey on these grey recliners, but here is to bigger and better things in the new HQ, it is looking schmick. See you on Thursday for the big 300 legends, enjoy!

Busier than a state school hat rack at HQ at the moment! Fraser Island, Brad Cox's wedding at the president has been shot, we cover what's been happening around the traps the past week as it's been a while since a catchup on the couch. Cambo nearly lost his phone in attempts to take up the Raw Dogging a flight trend and Tom has a recipe for gravy in the works he reckons will blow the minds of the nation. The news is on fire with the Olympics coming up as well as the world's largest swingers festival, followed by a look at the biffing in Paul VS Perry and UFC 304 coming up this weekend. Cats can get f*cked during Motivation, and a couple of Doghouse yarns to bring it home. Not long now until we're in the new studio, so we touch on the plans for the next week and the exciting episode we've got planned for the big 300. Enjoy trendsetters!

Producer and editor of the show, massive nerd and the guy with the iron chin, Quinn Jackson, jumps across his desk and joins the boys on the couch to get interviewed for his guest episode. Quinn takes us through his childhood, growing up in the country town of Howlong, being an introverted child and going against the grain of rural living by being invested in an academic path instead of a sporting one. Quinn takes us through the transitional period of moving to Central Queensland to go to high school, being on the debating team and then getting his foot in the door in the hospitality scene after school, leading to experiences such as working in Mount Isa during the rodeo and witnessing Fred Brophy's for the first time. Quinn runs us through the lows he's experienced as well, including battling with the loss of a best mate and what it taught him to then the rollercoaster that was sending the email to Tom and Cam for the job. To wrap up, we cover the original call out that sparked the Podcast Royale, some of Quinn's media interests, starting a 3D printing business with his best mate and wrap up with a couple of ripper yarns from his life before sending it into the guest questions. Hope you enjoy trendsetters!

Big thankyou to Bec for taking over the desk for this episode.

Last week, we took our Utes for their first inaugural test run for five days of camping, four wheel driving and fishing at Fraser Island/K'gari and attempted to pull off our first ever podcast around a campfire, and pulled it off. Special guests Luke from LMT Alloy Tech and Breece from Whitty Adventures join us for a yarn to discuss our trip, visiting destinations such as Lake Mackenzie, Sandy Cape and Woody Point. Luke takes us through how he started LMT Alloy Tech, the best in the tray and canopy business and how our relationship began to create these utes. Breece fills us in on his journey with adventure content creation, and we all go through some ripper yarns on getting bogged during four wheel driving before wrapping up with the guest questions. It was a true honour to pull this off, and we can't wait to shoot more of these in the future. Enjoy trendsetters!

END OF AN ERA Merch Drop Tonight, 6PM at alphablokes.com.au

Make sure you set your alarms if you don't want to miss out.

Flatout at HQ pumping out the yarns for you guys before we rise at Sparrows Fart to finally test our utes on our first big camping trip: Fraser Island! We wrap up our weekends before checking the forecast and places we're keen to go to on our trip and what we've packed, including Quinno's purchase of a swag just big enough for a mouse. We then dive back into the weirdness of Teletubbies, Shin Bashers are coming back (again) and a bit of interesting chat around capital punishment. We run through what we want to cook around the fire during Cooking With Daddy, then rip into the vape tragedy during Alpha News. Motivation is the star of the show with some absolute rippers to get you through the week and we wrap up with two ripper dog house yarns, with one securing the pound for at least a week. Enjoy your week trendsetters!
