Fire Up!

With both hosts’ respective teams suffering devastating losses on the weekend  this week’s episode centers around circling the drains, class warfare, the state of the boo, the ongoing culture wars in cricket and the NRL, and Jon Hamm’s deceptive good looks.

Other discussion points include the Tally Ho Defense, the Gould/Ciraldo Experiment, Dave Warner From The Suburbs, Ryan Carr’s Honesty Session, Reece Walsh v Seinfeld, the Rabbit-Proofing of the NSW team and, as always, much, much more.

And Dennis Carnahan sings “Reece Is The Word!”

This week in our post-Origin K-Hole we welcome special guest Anthony Maroon to the show - he's a long time MMM footy caller, a Rabbitohs tragic, a sparkling raconteur and MC, a trivia host, a Billy Joel fanatic, a Ted Lasso hater....basically an all round good guy and an absolute pleasure to have in the studio!

We dissect the second Origin debacle, the Wagner Group, Maroon's favourite player and Man-Crush Adam Reynolds, Latrell's calf, Boombox Culture, Shannon Noll, Sticky Stuart's Catering, Ben Hunt's delicate weather sensibilities, Reece Walsh's impact on just about everything, Stanley The Steel Avenger and, as always, much much more!

It's a great listen - if any of you Mug Lairs actually enjoy and appreciate it we'd be super fake grateful if you'd maybe rate and review on your podcast platform....it actually does help in so many ways.

See y'all on the interweb.

This week our hosts delve into the wild wellness vibes and strategical nous of Billy "The Communist" Slater, who has adopted the coach-whispering, new age philosophies of our Brad, only to add in Zulu chants and messages from The Imperfect Podcast in an attempt to "Out-Freddy" Freddy. 

They also discuss The Ben Hunt Operatic Tragedy and the steady decline of the Dragons in his time, and the breaking of Alex Twal's record long-running try drought.

And as always, a whole lot more :)

Shaking off the dust from Round 13 our hosts welcome special guest Denis Carnahan of "Rugby League: The Musical" fame into the studio to discuss the buildup into the first State Of Origin game in Adelaide this week, where Romance Rules and a half-full stadium of self-obsessed AFL fans beckons.

We ponder all things Freddy and Foxxy, reminisce about the great Tina Turner, discuss "Error Merchants" and "Grub Mums" and settle on Victor The Idiot's moniker.

And as always, much, much more.

Tune in to feel the State against State, mate against mate vibes.

Basking in the glory of victory after both our host's teams score unexpected wins, they strangely turn their attention to deeper issues and get a little phenomenological about the true meaning of Soap Opera, Atrocity, Crime, Punishment, Evil, Good, Fun and Redemption.... as seen through the prism of Rugby League.

It may sound a little pretentious.....but think about the leading characters....

Todd Carney, Paul Kent, Willie Mason, Julian O'Neill, Nate Myles, Mark Gasnier.....

The Elgin Marbles get a mention. As does Abdo's funny bone....

Podcasts eh?

This week our hosts fly the flags at half mast and deliberate on the hooking of Hook, and like the rest of us muse far and wide on who could fill the now vacant coaching chair at the Dragons. They create a killer “Hooked” Spotify playlist. They also discuss the pampered Chooks and The Lord Nick Politis Centre Of Excellence.

Ex-cricketer and Podcast mogul Shane Lee drops in for a surprise visit and gets involved in Rugby League Biology and discusses Anthony Wiggle’s fever dream to bring back Balmain, amongst many other things.

As always, listen in, and maybe even leave us a little review if you like what you hear.

Talk about batting out of our league! This week's episode welcomes Australia's greatest ever songwriter, the LACONIC Don Walker of Cold Chisel fame, and he converses with us about his Queenslander heritage, love of the Broncos, what it was like performing at the greatest Rugby League grand final ever, what he thinks about Kev Walters, Latrell, and The King Of The North, and we get plenty of juicy tidbits about his brilliant new forthcoming album, Tommy Hanlon, Norm Provan, Bon Scott and much, much more!

Plus we feature a cracking new tune from Denis Carnahan and our hosts do their thang as always.

Life is good. Tune in.
