  • #63 - Why Do We Only Remember The Bad Ones?

    Ep 63 - Why Do We Only Remember The Bad Ones?


    Unfortunately, our video crashed out this week, but you can still enjoy the audio of this episode.


    This week's Shed update takes us into One Warriors news and a wild French athlete story that had us both stumped, plus a question that got surprisingly deep: why does history only remember the villains?


    Then we flip it with a proper debate: if you had to give up four of your five senses and keep just one, which would it be? Sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch- the answers (and the reasoning behind them) might surprise you.


    A mix of NRL talk, culture, and a genuinely tough hypothetical that had us second-guessing our own picks.

  • #62 - We Let Ai Settle Our Argument | Top 10 Transferable Sports | The One App We'd Keep

    Ep 62 - In this episode of Talking Shed, we hand the mic to AI. We put our own relationship argument in front of it and asked it to pick a side - then sat there while it told us who was actually in the wrong.

    We also get it to rank the top 10 most transferable sports (the list starts a fight of its own), and finish with the one app we'd each keep if we had to delete everything else off our phones.

    It's an honest conversation filled with raw moments, laughs, and a few answers we weren't ready for.

    We expected happy tears on our wedding day - but we never expected to think we'd lost one of our family members.

    We cover:
    • The lead-up to the wedding
    • Our favourite moments from the ceremony
    • Funny stories and unexpected mishaps
    • What surprised us most
    • What we'd do differently
    • Travel highlights from Bali

  • #57 - We Recorded a Podcast in a Bali Sports Bar During a Live Rugby League Game

    Ep 57 - We Recorded a Podcast in a Bali Sports Bar During a Live Rugby League Game 🍻🏉


    This week, we're bringing you something a little different. Instead of our usual setup, we hit record from a local sports bar in Bali while a live rugby league match played in the background. It's unfiltered, a little chaotic, and captures the atmosphere of our trip perfectly.

    In this episode, we chat about:

    • 🏉 Our thoughts on the rugby league and the electric game-day atmosphere.
    • 🌴 Our favourite moments from our Bali trip.
    • 😂 The unexpected mishaps and funny stories that didn't quite go to plan.
    • 💍 Highlights from our wedding adventure and everything in between.
    • 🍻 What it's like recording a podcast completely on the go.

    Think of this episode as pulling up a chair and joining us for a drink while we relive one of the best trips of our lives.

    If you've ever travelled with friends or family, you'll know that the best memories are often the ones you never planned for.

  • Could NRL Stars Go ELITE in America? + We Need to Talk About Matiu

    We went there. Again. This week Josiah and Matiu are asking the question nobody really thinks about but everyone should — if our NRL stars grew up in America, would they be elite? Like actually elite.


    We're talking names, positions, the whole thing. It gets heated.Then Josiah puts Matiu's music taste to the test. Wedding edition. We'll just say this: there were some choices made. You'll have to listen to find out if he passed or got cooked. And to close it out, we get into something that's been on our mind — should Netflix have a comments section? Sounds simple. It's not.


    We had way too much to say about it.Honestly, one of those episodes where we sat down with no plan and just went for it. Those are always the best ones.

  • What’s worse…reading your partners Diary or Phone?

    EP 54 - This episode has everything. We kick things off with a bizarre café encounter that left us questioning whether we were in a coffee shop or a fever dream. From awkward interactions to downright strange behaviour, we break down one of the freakiest café experiences we've ever had.

    We then dive into all things State of Origin, discussing the biggest moments, key matchups, bold predictions, and what makes Origin unlike anything else in Australian sport.

    Finally, we tackle a relationship dilemma guaranteed to start arguments: what's worse - reading your partner's diary or going through their phone? One is a breach of privacy, the other could reveal everything. We debate where the line is and put ourselves in the hot seat.

    Strange café stories, Origin banter, and a controversial relationship debate - this one's a ripper. 🎧🔥🏉📱
