Variety Show time, comrades. There's a spontaneous lucky dip into the Jar Of Mindfulness first (1:24) and then full steam into some 1332 Hot Takes regarding Joseph Parker's next fight and Chris Wood's general excellence (4:03). The Chris Wood theme continues into some Vitamin Stats in which Reece Walsh's Warriors debut also gets some focus (8:18) and then it's Deep In THe Mangroves for Olympic Football draws and Kane Williamson (and other Blackcaps) in the IPL (15:18). Question Time tackes kiwis in the NFL, Ben Waine, and some Aotearoa basketball (25:12) and then we've got Jams and a few upcoming writing projects (37:04). There you go.

Gotta chat some Super League business after that whole European footy debacle, from the dumbness of billionaires to where power lies in sport and beyond (32:59). Shout out to fan culture for ripping that travesty to shreds. But before that we've got a Portal of Mindfulness (1:17), thoughts from that epic Sunday of Aotearoa sport on which the Warriors, Breakers, Phoenix, and Lydia Ko all won (3:29)... as well as some facts and figures from the All-Format Blackcaps Brigade (20:06). Outstanding chat on this one, people.

Empty your cup with another Variety Show. Basket of Mindfulness to get things started (1:27), then it's full on into the 1332 Hot Takes with TJ Perenara and a potential Welly Nix Women's team (3:30) before Vitamin Stats comes in equally hot to prop up a couple faves in Steven Adams and Lydia Ko (10:10). Deep In The Mangroves offers a fresh Kiwi NRL debutant and some T20 batting order thoughts (17:38), Question Time brings some Blackcaps cricketers, NRL coaches, and Fan vs Owner football club balance (25:27), and then mate it's a few Jams to close out (34:39). Right on.

Going in deep on the Warriors vs Dragons and various other NRL yarns today, from Shaun Johnson's situation to a couple club loyalty situations to tactics in the speedy 2021 version of the NRL, etc. But first a Splash of Mindfulness (4:02), updates on Kiwi cricketers overseas (6:03), some Kiwi MMA (8:17), the state of Flying Kiwis in the USA (9:34)... and then it's into the rugby league. Warriors vs Dragons preview in The Niche Cache Derby (16:15) and then some wider league chat (31:08). Get amongst.

Ladies and gents, don your black ties and ball gowns because it's the TNCVS Award Show Extravaganza! Obviously gotta start with a Trundler of Mindfulness (1:31) but then with no further ado we rolled through all sorts of glamourous honours and titles. In no particular order, here we go... Premmy Files MVP (4:09), Benji Marshall Kiwi NRL Excellence Award (7:24), The Convenient Loyalty Award (11:13), White Ferns Trooper Award (18:10), Strangest Victory Lap (24:38), Plunket Shield Found-A-Groove Award (29:36), Greediest Trophy Hoarder (36:14) & Official NBA Executive of the Year (43:27). Don't forget to tip your waiter.

Nothing much to say here, there's a Test squad been announced for the most consequential Blackcaps Test tour in a long time and we dig into every little nook and cranny from the motives behind certain selections, the make-up of a top strenght team, the schedule balance with IPL and County stuff, and heaps more good oil

All that variety goodness coming at ya today, starting with a short and sharp Note of Mindfulness in the ol' 1B5 (1:10) and then ripping into some 1332 Hot Takes regarding some Olympic football focus and the excellence of Lydia Ko (1:52). VItamin Stats takes us through Charlisse Leger-Walker's brilliant first season of college bball as well as some Parrammatta Eels x NZ yardage (7:40) before we go Deep in the Mangroves regarding non-Breakers kiwis in the NBL and Tom Blundell's triumphant return to the middle order (13:44). Question Time brings us more cricket and kiwi basketball (20:47), The Jams brings us them good music reccos (28:51), On The Radar brings us Flying Kiwis football and Warriors rugby league (31:20), and The Niche Cache brings you the good podcasts. Right on.

We're going widescreen mode this week, blockbuster yarns, as we chat over some recent epic kiwi sports performances. First though, a cheeky shovel of mindfulness (1:43) before a quick update on some Warriors trends and ideas (2:20). Then it's our first Epic Performance with Frankie Mackay's heroic against Aussie (11:08) leading into some Neil Wagner chat too. Charlisse Leger-Walker, Benji Marshall, and Hamish Watson also get amongst all that (27:03) and then yeah we'll chuck in some Blackcaps ideas at the end as well (57:13). Go for it.

Always got the good oil on the Variety Show and after an air-tight container of Mindfulness (1:32) it's full steam ahead into a couple of 1332 Hot Takes that tackle Sean Marks' Brooklyn Nets moves and the Warriors Headliner Status (3:07). Vitamin Stats follow with a few healthy numbers to do with both Devon Conway and Finn Allen in the T20 scene (7:23) and then it's time to go Deep in the Mangroves regarding All Whites goalie Nik Tzanev and the blossoming minutes of Steven Adams (11:51). Finish This Sentence involves more Blackcaps and more Warriors, as you'd expect (18:09) and then after some musical Jams (24:34) we conclude with some cricketing and basketballing On The Radars (27:43). Tight like a tiger, this one.

It's the straight hits today, friend. Half an hour of Blackcaps chat (3:03) getting at an odd T20 side, star players delivering, Finn Allen + Kyle Jamieson's IPL excursion, Mark Chapman & more. Then half an hour of Warriors chat (35:05) with halfback depth, Ben Murdoch-Masila, coaching abilities &... yup, you guessed it: more. Turn it up.
