We sit down with dual international Mat 'the Rat' Rogers.

This guy has had an incredible life filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

Talking his prestigious career in the NRL & Australian Rugby. What it was like growing up the son of a footy legend in Steve Rogers. The difficulties of losing his Dad to suicide just years after the passing of his mother to cancer.

He speaks so passionately about his charity 4 ASD Kids , created to help young people born with Autism like his son Max.

He also discusses his reality TV career from Dancing with the Stars to being a two time Survivor contestant ... plus the work he's doing in sports management now through his new business Rogers Sports Management.

All that and so much more! Enjoy.

Talakai the Tank Engine - recently Jake sat down with the rising Sharks star for Fox League.

He talks about how his own arrogance led to his sacking at South Sydney.

His time as a garbage man and the guilt he felt not being able to support his family and six siblings.

He's softly spoken but very honest about his own flaws and how he turned them around to revive his footy career at Cronulla!

One of the baddest men on the planet Tai Tuivasa stopped by for a chat today!

We talk about his rapid rise through the UFC heavyweight ranks and his desire to be a world champ.

Tai is unapologetically himself and is brutally honest. We talk about the tough times growing up in Western Sydney and how he turned around a potential life of crime to be one of the most popular athletes in the world.

He strives to be a role model for underprivileged kids like himself, teaching them to appreciate what they have... while also never settling for it if you have big dreams.

He talks his wild and brutal footy career, his secret swimming talents and even locked himself into a $1000 bet with @jakeyduke plus plenty more. Check it out. 💰🏊🏽‍♂️

It was an honour and a real career highlight to sit down with one of the G.O.A.Ts of the NRL and talk about absolutely everything!! We chat about his stints in rehab and his on-going battle with bi-polar; how his Goanna Academy is helping to change the mental health outcomes for other young men, we talk hanging up on Russell Crowe twice, sharing the 2014 GF win with one of his idols Cathy Freeman. Plus how he almost played AFL for Essendon and SO SO much more !!!

I've watched a lot of G.I interviews over the years and I honestly don't think I've seen him so raw but also so relaxed, entertaining and at peace.

SEASON 3 of the podcast kicking off with a BANG!! Check it out now LIVE on Kayo Sports

Really interesting and honest chat with Australian Netball legend Caitlin Bassett. Due to serious knee injuries, the former Australian captain finds herself in an unwanted and unique position, currently without a super netball contract despite still being a member of the Australian squad.

In this emotional chat we talk the possibility of retirement, the difficulties of realising her 18-year professional career could be over and the difficult trail of self discovery she is currently on.

That plus all the highlights from her glittering career, her concerns for the future of Australian Netball and its development of young players, her love of animals and her hopes for the future!! That plus plenty more!

A new era for the Refuse to Lose Podcast. Filming our first episode in the Kayo podcast studios. We couldn't have picked a better person to do it with. Harry Garside's story is incredible. He's Australia's first Olympic medallist in boxing for 33 years .... taking Bronze in Tokyo after actually missing Olympic selection on 5 previous occasions.

But this man smashes just about every stereotype you have about boxers. He does ballet training, loves performing arts & high school musical, paints his nails is comfortable wearing dresses ... and he does it all to challenge how masculinity is viewed not only in combat sports but society as a whole.

He is such a critical thinker and a man of outstanding moral integrity who pushes himself and other young people to achieve their best.

A MUST LISTEN!

Hope you all enjoy it!

Finally got a chance to get Ryan James on the poddy! One of the nicest blokes in Rugby League despite being a beast on the field! We chat about his move to the Broncos and how he's come back so strong after so many devastating injuries!

We chat getting his Masters in Business and how he's striving to help other Indigenous people start their own initiatives. We talk his charity work and his own foundation plus plenty more fun stuff including the time he met Margot Robbie! Also available on Kayo Sports.

Tyrell Sloan's story is a wild one. His parents struggled with drug and and alcohol abuse, therefore he was raised by his grandmother from two months old, who was also on welfare.

He is one of the nicest and most driven young men you'll ever meet! Wisdom beyond his 19 years.

A great story for all to hear! We hope you enjoy!

Alex Volkanovski is one of Australia's most under appreciated World Champions. He is the current Featherweight title holder in the UFC and is preparing to defend his crown again this year after winning a scary battle against COVID-19. We talk dealing with hate and criticism, his championship mindset, the growth of Mixed Martial Arts, plus cooking, Rugby League and plenty more random stuff along the way.

We hope you enjoy!

This is a very special episode to myself and Rhys and one of the things I am most proud of in my career so far.

It's called Rabbitohs Raw and was originally taped as a special feature piece on Fox Sports for Indigenous round in the NRL in 2021.

This is the extended cut which includes my entire interview with Rabbitohs superstars Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and Damien Cook.

If you missed the original episode, it can be found on Kayo Sports at any time.

In this chat we have a bit of fun and get to know the guys a little bit better. But the main purpose of this round table discussion was to investigate the topic of race and on a smaller scale, what it's like to be a black, high profile athlete in Australia in 2021.

Guys like Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker have been subjected to some vile abuse and racism throughout their careers but have always stood tall and taken a stand as proud Indigenous men.

Today they open up about it all, supported by their non-Indigenous teammate Damien Cook, who speaks on what he's seen these guys go through and how he believes we all need to listen and educate each other to move forward as a society.

It's an enthralling chat packed with additional content that couldn't make the TV version because of time constraints but should still be heard.

It's all part of an important conversation and by listening in to today's episode you are showing that you too are willing to learn and make a difference... so thank you.

I hope you get something out of it.
