On this week's dose of extra KOKO content we crown the winner of the ‘Debate the Top Eight’ competition.

Four weeks ago the lads laid out their predictions of the final eight teams left in the Suber(b) Rugby Playoffs and now the results are in, and not unlike an episode of The Jerry Springer show two of the boys will be told “you are not the winner”.

Through a myriad of complex algorithms and Mensa level math, our team of number crunching boffins have come to the conclusion there is only one daddy of the ‘Debate the Top Eight’ title.

So sit on the edge of your futon, throw on your UGGs and chew your nails down to the quick, as we go through the results to crown The KOKO Champion.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads bring you two legendary rugby guests, one from yesteryear and the other currently doing his thing in the world of footy. Our first guest that joined us live in the studio is a long streak of pelican you know what, one of the greatest Kiwi players of all time and for over ten years was a real pain in the Wallabies’ butts. He is the know-it-all from the North Island, New Zealand's lanky lineout lothario and he is the man that got bail after one too many an ale, it is the one and only Mr Ali Williams.

It has always been this show's mission statement, what is better than one big bastard? That's right, two massive bastards.

So, all the way from the Queensland Reds inner sanctum we bring you the Gunnedah Goliath, one half of the ‘Brisbane Bash Brothers’ and a man that has more try assists than hairs on his head, it is of course Mr Harry ‘the future’ Wilson.

We know what you are thinking, what else can these pricks pack into one show? Alas, not only do we shower you with wagyu grade talent, we serve up a full Rugby Roundup, a smattering of news from north of the invisible line and we preview the Super(b) Rugby Quarter-Finals.

Last, but certainly the most important, thanks to our new headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren brought to us by MYER we get the lads and their sloppy rigs to hit the catwalk for another edition of our new and very dapper segment ‘Match Fit’.

So sit back and relax, slip into your favourite preppy yet sporty fit, adorn your shoulders with a glorious knit and tune into KOKO as we talk footy and shit. It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week The KOKO Show’s extra content comes in the form of a sit down interview between roommates.

That's right all the way from San Diego we have a new little segment entitled ‘Bits with Gits'. Matt ‘Goitan’ Giteau sits down with Former English frontrower, emerging grime rapper and one of the Legion’s assistant coaches, Mr Alex Corbisiero.

We know what you are thinking, what do a fly half and prop talk about when stuck in a studio together, just watch as we unearth the perfect odd couple. They chinwag about Corb’s career, his musical prowess, the art of scrummaging and there are some COSMO questions to round it out.

So put up your hammock, kick off your flip flops and fix yourself a spicy marg, get ready for the first, but certainly not the last installment of ‘Bits with Gits’.

This week on the KOKO show we are proud to announce our new headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren in connection with our dear friends at MYER. With the lights burning bright on the show we are now able to afford some A-grade guests, so this week we have lined up an absolute cracker. This man is one of Aussie Rugby’s most exciting players, with footwork and ball skills that leave opposing players tied up like German soft pretzels. He burst onto the scene in the mid 2000’s as the prodigy to end all prodigies, and boy he didn’t disappoint. That is right, this week we are joined by Brissy’s boxing bad boy, the quick, the quiet and the quirky, Mr Quade Cooper.

Plus, with Polo Ralph Lauren as our new sponsor we are rolling out a brand new segment called ‘Match Fit’, where we break down the boy’s looks for the show and have a deep dive into their aesthetic choices and fashion forward vibes. We also deliver all the fan favourites, as we unpack the penultimate round of the Super(b) Rugby regular season, we debrief on another disappointing Wallaroos showing, we have a ‘Social Snitches’ that turns back time and finally we give some love to our Northern Hemisphere legends after an epic Champions Cup Final. 

We are the gift that can now give more, as we have a true blue chip headline sponsor to back our shenanigans, so sit back relax and ask yourself the age old question “Do you think I can rock a turtleneck sweater this winter?” It’s now time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

We want more! We want more! Ok we heard you, you crazy bastards. So this week we are debuting some extra content for you KOKO Show loving truffle pigs.

We present ‘Prof’s Pick And Let’s Effing Go’ and this week Prof sits down with our very own Drew Mitchell to get into all the nooks and crannies of what was a glittering single ‘g’ career.

In this segment we get to peek behind the curtain and into the beautiful mind and footy history of one of Aussie rugby’s best blokes and greatest players.

So please sit back, take your 6pm No-Doz and wash it down with a stiff rumbo and cola as you enjoy a little extra KOKO lovin’. It’s time for Prof’s Pick And Let's Effing Go’.  

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The KOKO Show we are coming to you from all corners of the globe, Prof and Biv are in the studio in Sydney, Gits is lighting it up in San Diego and Holiday Swoop is bringing the heat all the way from Positano in Italy.

Much like a sunset kissing the top of an Amalfi village, this episode will make you feel things in the deepest and darkest corners of your pleasure department. Without a guest this week we welcome you inside the KOKO Dojo of Chaotic Mojo for some serious laughs and hardcore banter.

We break down all things Super(b) Rugby in the ‘Rugby Roundup Segment’, the lads serve you up a beautifully al dente ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment and there is of course a signature slice of ‘Social Snitches'.

For all you massive rugby nerds in the ‘KOKO-sphere’ the boys give you their hot-takes on the new law changes coming into the game in July, as we give you a very comprehensive dose of ‘What's Drewing?’

To finish the show we give you the fight you have all been waiting for, so throw out Fury v Usyk and disregard Ali v Frazier, as we present Tommy v Hugo in the Powerhouse Production Knee Wrestle of the Century.

So please sit back and enjoy this limoncello fueled mechanical bull ride of a show with some fava beans and a bottle of Chianti, because it is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads go wall to wall footy with a couple of cheeky yarns sprinkled into the mix. We deliver a comprehensive ‘Rugby Roundup’ segment unpacking and unfurling Round 12 of the Super(b) Rugby, illuminating the teams that are in the hunt for glory and the others that can start preparing for a debaucherous Mad Monday.

With this in mind the lads don their outdoor aprons armed with their lucky tongs and serve you guys a smokey and saucy selection of ‘Super Sizzlers’, thanks to our friends at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline. We also dive into the unfortunate result for the Wallaroos in their first test match of the year, as they went down to the maple syrup crushing Canadians in Sydney.

However, this week our piste de resistance is currently considered a ‘Northern Hemisphere Legend’, but really is a Southern Hemi Sensation. This man is widely considered as one of the greatest centres the rugby world has ever seen, a man so bold he refuses to get old, with nicknames like ‘The Tank’ and ‘The Rock’ opposing player often felt liquid filling their sock. This man is a gentleman and a scholar so please stand up and holla, yes of course, it is the one and only Mr Ma’a Nonu.

So sit back, get yourself a plate with all the fixings and slip into your Sunday best as we spread another ‘Two-Time’ RWC champ across your soundwaves. That's right, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This time around on The KOKO Show the boys have a special treat with an all-time Northern Hemisphere Legend and Springbok speedster, a man with fast feet and an even faster car collection. You better bloody believe it, we chat to the king of the Cape and a hero in headgear Mr Cheslin Kolbe.

The boys also dish out an all you can eat serving of the Rugby Roundup, topped with an extra spicy Suber(b) Sizzler garnish thanks to our mates at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline. We then round out this mouth watering walk through the rugby world with a couple of new segments entitled ‘What’s Drewing?’ and the boys ‘Debate the Top Eight.’

So sit back, relax and drink in the serenity as we go on a footy safari to see ‘The Big Five’ loose units in their natural habitat. We beg you to be chipper for Cheslin, fabulous for footy, nuts about the North and hit a long smoko for KOKO. It's time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are horsing around and bathing in the sweet sweet nectar of the Brumbies win over the previously undefeated Hurricanes. Much like a pack of hungry ‘Junkyard Dogs’ we forage through another spectacular round of Super(b) Rugby and thanks to our friends at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline we have a tender little lineup of ‘Super Sizzlers’ fresh off the grill.

The fellas also have a deep dive into the triumphant Super(b) Rugby W final, breaking down how the Waratahs dismantled the Drua to run the board in a spectacular undefeated winning season. Obviously, we understand that we have fans from both sides of the equator that join us week in and week out to bloody ‘Schmidt this thing in’, so we have served up an extra juicy NHL’s segment this week with flavours from Japan, England and the self-proclaimed leaders of the free world.

Plus, it would be completely LOCO if KOKO didn't have a special guest, so we have lined up a Brumbies young blood that is on his way back to the promised land. A man that has more footy smarts than Gits has gold bullion buried under his house, the fresh faced flyhalf of the future, the Ken amongst us mortal men, the one and only ‘bad boi Brumby’ himself Mr Noah Lolesio. So dust off your chaps, tighten your bridal and tip your Akubra to another real roughie of a podcast.

It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO show we give you the old school two guest turnaround, that's right more bloody exclusives than the humble rugby fan can poke a stick at.

First up the lads run you through a hilarious Goit inspired ‘Social Snitches’ from fourteen years ago, we also dive into everything Super(b) Rugby with another lashing of ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by our friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online.

Then we really turn this mofo up to a ten, the KOKO crew have an exclusive first time interview with a dear friend of the show and new Western Force recruit, the one and only Mr Kurtley ‘KB’ Beale. But as wise men have always said, one guest is cute, and two guests are totally SLAY.

That is right we have doubled up for all our NHL’s (Northern Hemisphere Legends) and we have brought you the little legend from Leeds and the hottest half in the business, so please get your pump on and quaff your hair for the lightweight lothario that is Danny Care.

So kick back and relax as we wrap up the world of rugby like a delicious midnight kebab after a session with Holiday Swoop.

It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
